Chapter 1694
Zeke repeated himself, “Did you not hear my question? I'm going to repeat myself one last time! You better answer me if you wish to leave with your limbs attached! Were you running away because you're guilty?”
“I-I don't even know what the hell you're talking about!”
Sighing, Zeke instructed, “Well, I guess it's time to show you I'm serious! Killer Wolf, go ahead and chop off his arm!”
Without a second thought, Killer Wolf chopped off Joseph's right arm. Subsequently, blood gushed out of the wound.
“A-Argh!”
Cries of agony echoed through the mountain as the injured Joseph shrieked at the top of his lungs. Subsequently, the hearts of the ones Joseph brought along with him sank to the bottom of their stomachs.
Is he a maniac? How dare he chop off others' limbs merely because he's irritated? We're not just talking about just another man from the streets; we're talking about someone with the same rank as him! Isn't he afraid the president is going to hold him accountable?
Zeke repeated himself in a callous tone, “Are you going to answer my question or not? Were you sent here to distract us?”
Joseph stammered, “I-I'll tell you everything! I'm so sorry for distracting you and causing the death of
an important prisoner! It was never my intention to distract you and your men! I-I was merely here under someone's instruction!”
“Why were you even here when you were aware I would never allow you to gain ownership over Summerbank? What exactly are you up to?” Zeke queried in an attempt to sort out the confusion.
“H-Huh? What else am I up to? I'm merely trying to complete my assigned duty!”
“You know what? Killer Wolf, chop off one of his legs!”
Killer Wolf chopped off Joseph's right leg seconds after he heard Zeke.
As Joseph continued shrieking, Zeke warned him, “I'll give you another chance to tell me the truth! Otherwise, we're coming after your neck next!”
Joseph was about to weep in front of them. He stammered, “It's my father-in-law! He was the one who sent me here! He insisted on sending me here even when I told him there was no way you would hand over Summerbank to me!”
“Who's your father-in-law?”
“He's the previous person in charge of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs!”
Once Zeke linked the missing pieces of the puzzle together, he instructed, “Killer Wolf, Tyler, Nameless, I want all of you to take his father-in-law into custody at once! If he refuses to come along, just kill him!”
“Yes, sir!”
Once the trio departed, Zeke turned around and fixed his gaze on Joseph again. “Is your father-in-law in cahoots with members of Netherworld? Is there something suspicious about him?”
After giving it a thought, he said, “I-I'm not sure! He's my father-in-law, but we're not really close!”
Zeke placed Dragon King Sword next to Joseph's neck and warned, “I'm not going to repeat myself
anymore. If you can't be of much help, then I'll do you a favor and end your misery.”
“I'll tell you everything! When he was still the person in charge of the ministry, the ministry would lose about three percent of the total spiritual drugs every year! It was higher than the ordinary loss incurred! Therefore, I suspect he was involved in shady trading with others!”
“Ha! You're not trying to tell me you've never gotten yourself involved in something similar, are you? Stop bringing up something irrelevant to divert my attention!”
“Wait, I'm not done yet! I once encountered him during one of his many trades! I thought I was seeing things, but the person on the other end was nothing more than a shadow!”
I knew it! It's definitely someone affiliated with Shadow League!
