It was just as Alicia had thought it would happen. As soon as they caught up with their comrades, she did not get any more chances to make Ezekiel speak. Even though she had already expected it, it still frustrated her to no end that what she predicted ended up happening. So, for now, all she could do was to hang on and wait until he had finally decided to speak.
Moreover, Alicia did not have the luxury to even ask anymore as the pace they were travelling at was incredibly fast and she was getting more and more uneasy the closer they get to their destination. Maybe it was due to her being able to tell that they were definitely not heading to a place she was expecting.
And her unease continued to build up until it reached its very peak the very moment that they finally halted on top of a hill overlooking a human city. Everyone was shocked that their destination was not a secluded place but an actual bustling city.
"Don’t tell me... Zeres is in this city?" Lucas asked in disbelief as Ezekiel put Alicia down.
"Yes. He’s here." Zeke replied and Alicia could not even speak anymore.
Horror filled their eyes as all of them, except Zeke and the prophetess, looked around in a dazed stupor over the seemingly peaceful and lively human city before them. Even Alexander who had arrived in this place first was rooted to the ground. His fists were balled up and clenched together so tightly, that blood could be seen dripping a little from those clenched fists of his – an obvious testament to the very real struggle of him trying to control himself, his bloodlust.
"I can’t believe he of all people would..." Alex was beyond furious; he was so worked up that he could not even complete his statement. He truly could not believe that Zeres actually chose this place which was teeming with lives – innocent human lives – and not another random secluded place but a large, populated city of all places!
"This is probably his way of showing us how seriously he is taking this. Guess he is that determined about his decision..." Zeke commented, and Alex gritted his teeth. The only thing that had stopped Alex from barging directly into Zeres’ hideout the moment he arrived was the fact that Alex knew what could and would happen if a fight between two over-powered immortals suddenly broke out in the middle of a city filled with humans. fгeewebnovёl.com
"It appeared that Zeres had fully taken over that male witch’s leadership." Zeke continued and everyone looked at him.
"Male witch? That same one who was responsible for creating those undead vampires?" Alex asked in a controlled but still ominous voice.
"No, Alex. I doubt he’d entertain any attempt to talk to him now. If he found out that you went there without the intention of killing him, it will only trigger him to do something even more impulsive that could spark off the beginning of that chaos we’re trying to avoid at all costs. If he thinks we’re not taking him seriously, he is not above doing whatever it takes. Worst case scenario is, he’ll unleash the vampires to wreak havoc in this city until we are forced to attack and kill him."
"Then what the hell are we going to do? If we attack him, the result is the same." Alex burst out in exasperation. His eyes turning molten gold as he looked at Zeke. He never thought this problem would ever come to this point. Never would he have thought that Zeres... would finally resort to doing something so drastic such as this.
"I’ll go." Alicia who had been so silent all the while, suddenly butted in and everyone’s attention shifted to her. "I’ll go..."
