Zeke gritted his teeth, “You seem to love burying people alive. Fine. Let me help you with that!”
Zeke kicked her in her stomach, flinging her into the air and causing her to land in Xander’s grave.
Xander had been freshly unearthed, so Mrs. Moore and Xander looked like two corpses side by side.
“Ah! No, no!” Mrs. Moore screamed her lungs out. Zeke is going to bury me alive as well!
Zeke picked up a shovel and started burying them without hesitation as the crowd watched in silence. That demon is at it again!
Yet, none of them held it against Zeke. Since Mrs. Moore had the intention of burying someone else alive, she was simply getting what she had asked for.
As Zeke buried her, he had a torn expression. He muttered to himself, “If I kill her, I’ll be missing one person to carry my buddy’s casket for the reburial. If I don’t bury her alive, I won’t be satisfied with my revenge. What now? What should I do?”
Wolf’s Greed immediately understood Zeke’s intentions and gave a signal to his adjutant.
The adjutant nodded and brought the butler to the grave.
He demanded, “Butler, take a good look at her and tell me if she was the one who ordered you to kidnap innocent civilians.”
The butler stuttered, “Y-Yes, that’s right.”
The adjutant ordered, “Men, seize her!”
A few soldiers seized Mrs. Moore from the ground, dragged her out, and threw her into the car.
Mrs. Moore heaved a sigh of relief. It’s much better falling into the hands of the military than of that demon!
The adjutant scanned the area with an icy glare and declared, “We’ve gotten rid of the bandits, but this matter isn’t resolved yet. We’ll investigate everyone who worked with these bandits.”
The military left as soon as they came, leaving a mess behind.
Zeke threw the shovel aside and headed to Lacey’s side.
Lacey jumped into Zeke’s arms and started bawling. Her heart was filled with fear when she thought of how she was nearly buried alive.
Zeke stroked her hair endearingly and consoled her, “Sorry, Lacey. I didn’t manage to protect you well.”
Sage headed to Zeke’s side and cried, “Mr. Williams, you scared me to death. I thought you...”
Zeke chuckled as he dried Sage’s tears, “Don’t worry, Sage, I have nine lives; I won’t die so easily.”
Lacey ceased sobbing. She glanced at Zeke, then at Sage, with jealousy.
Zeke quickly explained, “Lacey, this is my buddy’s sister, Sage. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take her as my sworn sister.”
The adjutant ordered, “Men, seize her!”
A few soldiers seized Mrs. Moore from the ground, dragged her out, and threw her into the car.
Lacey remained doubtful.
Lacey remained doubtful.
Sole Wolf and Wolf’s Greed approached Sage.
“Sage, are you alright.”
“Sorry we were so late.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely make the scumbags from the Moore family pay the price.”
Upon seeing Sole Wolf and Wolf’s Greed doting on her, Lacey felt a little more relieved. Looks like the two of them like this little girl.
Lacey held Sage’s hand and introduced herself, “Hello, Sage. I’m Mr. Williams’ girlfriend. If you’re alright with it, you can call me Lacey.”
“Hi, Lacey,” Sage greeted her bashfully.
Zeke said, “Let’s get going.”
After Lacey and the others got onto the car, Zeke turned his gaze to the guests present.
All of them started to tremble as though they had seen the reaper himself.
Zeke jeered, “All of you seem to love attending funerals. I saw you guys last time, and here you are again. Fine, then. Six days later, my buddy will be having a reburial. I humbly invite everyone present to attend. Otherwise, I’ll hold a funeral for you myself.”
That one sentence struck fear in everyone’s hearts. He’ll hold a funeral for anyone who doesn’t attend! What a blatant threat!
