Chapter 1789

This indicated that Zeke was unable to fully control the Fortuna.

Daemonium and Warren quickly made their escape and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

“Zeke, do we go after them?” Sole Wolf asked anxiously.

Zeke shook his head. “Even I won't be able to keep up with them; we might as well forget about it.”

“Why didn't you let Fortuna press on the attack when we had the upper hand earlier? It'll be hard to find Daemonium and his men now that they've gotten away!” Sole Wolf asked in frustration.

“You think I didn't want to? I don't have full control over Fortuna yet. I probably need some more training.”

Sole Wolf sighed. “What a shame... You have an unstoppable power inside you, and yet you can't put it to use when you need to.”

“We should consider ourselves lucky that we could stop the Netherworld from stealing Fortuna. On top of that, Fortuna has now become your most powerful tool of defense. Keep in mind that Fortuna is sentient and can materialize itself to protect your life during critical moments. This is an extremely rare condition, so you really shouldn't be complaining,” Tyler said.

“Sentient? How did you know that Fortuna is sentient?” Zeke asked in confusion.

“Daemonium tried to take your life when you were unconscious earlier, and Fortuna materialized itself to protect you at the last second. I'm sure it will do so again should you find yourself in a similar

situation in the future. You may think of it as an amulet of some sort. No one will be able to harm you unless they take out Fortuna first. Given the fact that Fortuna was formed through the ideas of billions of Eurasians, I doubt it can be easily destroyed,” Tyler explained.

That was when Zeke finally understood what happened.

“Does that mean Zeke has now become practically untouchable? That's great! Zeke, we should go take out some of our enemies near the borders. Now that nobody can kill you, we do not need to fear those enemies anymore!” Sole Wolf suggested with a chuckle.

Zeke burst out laughing upon hearing that.

Sole Wolf just wants to plunge the world into chaos, huh? I bet he would start causing trouble at the borders if he was the one who absorbed Fortuna instead!

With that in mind, Zeke decided to ignore Sole Wolf and glanced at Charles who then began trembling nervously.

“I'm sorry, Great Marshal! Please forgive me! I won't do it again! I swear!” he pleaded while kneeling on the floor.

Sole Wolf simply kicked him onto his back mercilessly. “You were in cahoots with those from the Netherworld. You tried to help them steal Fortuna from us! You nearly doomed all of Eurasia, damn it! How dare you beg for mercy after committing such a heinous crime? I want to kill him right now, Zeke!”

“Hey, Mr. Williams has promised to let me handle Charles!” Alfred protested.

Zeke waved at them and said casually, “We're in no rush to kill him just yet. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and Charles' father is the head of the Ministry of Sacred. If Charles is working with the Netherworld's forces, then his father is probably no better. I want you guys to take Charles in and surround the Ministry of Sacred. I'll meet you guys there after picking up Lacey and Missy.”

“Okay!”

The men then split up and got to work.

Zeke made his way to the hotel but couldn't seem to find Lacey and Missy anywhere.

With a frown on his face, he tried to see if he could sense Big Back's men in the area but found no traces of them whatsoever.

Where did Lacey go?

Zeke quickly contacted Big Back and felt relieved when the call got through seconds later.

“Where are my wife and daughter?” he asked.
