Zeke Williams is dead?
How could this be?
Who even shot this arrow?
She decided to go out and take a look.
The other Necromancers offered to tag along, but she told them to stay put. “It might be dangerous outside. Stay here and wait for me. Be on high alert.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
Rosie crept out of the warehouse and surveyed the surroundings carefully.
There was very little cover around the place, yet she could not see anyone skulking around the place.
However, she was not going to let down her guard so easily.
The quieter it seemed, the more dangerous it was.
Whoosh!
Something cut through the air with a sharp hiss.
An arrow flew out from nowhere and headed straight for her forehead.
Crap!
Rosie’s heart skipped a beat as she ducked out of the way.
However, there was more to the arrow than what meets the eye.
The arrow split into three just inches from her body.
She had managed to evade the topmost arrow and grab the one heading for her heart, but the last one lodged itself into her abdomen before she could react.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from Rosie’s mouth as she fell to the ground like a ragdoll.
She could feel the fatigue in her bones as she collapsed, head spinning and vision fading.
That arrow is poisoned!
Meanwhile, the four masters were having a heated debate regarding the ‘old friend’ Drake was inviting over for tea.
As they continued to argue, Drake burst into the house, carrying an unconscious woman in his arms.
The four masters did not recognize the woman.
“Who might this be, Mr. Drake?” Helen asked.
“Tell Zeke Williams to come. His mistress is in my hands,” Drake said.
The four masters rejoiced at this comment.
She’s his mistress!
They knew Zeke was someone who took relationships seriously, so there was no way he would abandon his mistress if he heard about what happened.
He’ll be falling straight into our trap!
“I’ll contact him now,” Damian said gleefully.
Meanwhile, at Trust Media...
Zeke suddenly received a call from Hadley Murphy.
“Zeke! Our leader got kidnapped by a stranger!” Hadley said anxiously.
What?
Zeke tensed up immediately.
Was Drake behind this?
“Tell me everything you know.”
After hearing about the mysterious arrows, Zeke could confirm it had been Drake’s doing.
He clenched his fists tightly. “I’m going to beat that guy into a pulp!”
“Zeke Williams, you’d better save our leader!” Hadley growled. “If something happens to her, I...I’ll kill you and get in bed with your wife!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll save her,” Zeke said in an attempt to comfort Hadley.
He got into his car after hanging up, though he hesitated for just a moment.
Where even is Drake?
Suddenly, Damian Count’s car appeared before him.
He alighted his car and strode over to the front of Zeke’s car. “Williams! Drake wants to see you. If you refuse his invite, your mistress will be dead by tonight.”
“Where is he?” Zeke asked.
“At the Zellys’,” Damian answered.
Alright!
Zeke stomped on the gas and headed straight for Damian.
Unable to dodge in time, Damian ended up being thrown against the hood of the car.
“You...you’re crazy!” Damian screeched.
Ignoring him completely, Zeke picked up speed and hurtled along.
His speed went up to a hundred and fifty miles an hour at one point in time.
