Rosie exclaimed, “Mr. Quin is dead? How is that possible? How did he die?”
Zachary replied solemnly, “He died from poisoning on stage. He lost the fight before it even began.”
What?
Rosie was dumbfounded.
The one who died was Mr. Quin and not Zeke?
But that wasn’t what Draco told me.
Draco failed in poisoning Mr. Quin, and the latter killed Zeke...
Zeke must not have trusted Draco. That must have been why he knocked him out and poisoned Mr. Quin himself instead.
Rosie gritted her teeth as she asked, “Is it true?”
Zachary uttered, “I swear I’m telling the truth.”
Whack!
Rosie knocked Zachary out with a chop to his neck.
She then took out her phone to call Zeke.
After a few seconds of anxious waiting, the call went through.
Rosie finally drew in a breath.
“Williams, you’re still f*****g alive!”
Zeke was baffled. “Of course, I am. Rosie, you still have such a short temper. That isn’t good. You should do something about it.”
“Damn you! If you’re still alive, why didn’t you come and see me?”
Zeke huffed, “Don’t mess up your facts. I came out looking for you after the duel, but you were already gone by then. You’re the one who broke your promise.”
Rosie muttered, “Stop with your nonsense. Come and meet me at once.”
“Sorry, I’m taking a trip to Atheville now. I can’t meet you just yet.”
“Sorry, I’m taking a trip to Atheville now. I can’t meet you just yet.”
“Atheville, right?” Rosie sneered, “No matter which part of the world you go, I’ll find you. When I do, I’ll break your legs. Let’s see how you’ll escape from me then.”
Rosie thought Zeke was avoiding her by going to Atheville.
She ended the call and told her assassin, “Let’s go. We’re moving to Atheville.”
You’ve escaped once, but I won’t let you do it twice.
In your dreams!
The large-scale Necromancer Assassin Organization had packed up and left their headquarters in Eastend overnight.
Their intended destination was Atheville.
Within a short period of time, various forces, including Lacey’s party, were heading toward Atheville.
Soon, Atheville was going to turn lively.
......
Zeke had finally reached the borders of Atheville when the sun came up.
“Stop the car,” He ordered.
Sole Wolf hurriedly slammed on the brakes.
Zeke got down from the car and stood at the side of the river around the city. He sighed when he saw the luxurious city of Atheville.
Atheville was where Zeke came from.
The Williams family he belonged to was one of the wealthy families in Atheville.
Back then, when his family had decided to make him the scapegoat for his twin brother, Zach, Zeke had cut off his feelings for the Williams family.
He thought he would never return to the place that had made him miserable for the rest of his life.
However, it was impossible to predict the future. He was eventually back here after all those events.
“I hope I won’t meet anyone from the Williams family. I don’t want to soften my heart again.”
Zeke was about to return to the car when his phone rang.
It was a call from Lone Wolf.
Zeke accepted the call and hurriedly queried, “Have you found Hunting Wolf’s whereabouts?”
Lone Wolf sounded depressed as he replied, “I did. He has most likely been living under the name of Frederick Walters. He lives in the fourth house in Trey Alley. It’s in Octagon Row at Atheville. Also, I have some unconfirmed news. Hunting Wolf... He’s likely been killed.”
What?
Zeke shuddered as sorrow entered his eyes. Fury soon took over.
“How dare that person kill my friend? I’ll slaughter them!”
He took out a bottle of wine from the car. After drinking half of it, he poured the rest into the raging river.
“Hunting Wolf, rest in peace. I’ll deal with the rest for you.”
