Zeke abruptly walked toward the Dulliouds and thundered, “Get down on your knees!”
His voice was so loud that the Dulliouds instantly shuddered and dropped to their knees.
Zeke then uttered, “You guys better answer my questions truthfully. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless.”
“What's the purpose of setting up your base here? You, tell me.” Zeke pointed at one of the Dulliouds kneeling in the corner.
Upon hearing the question, the Dullioud stammered, “I-I don't know. I-I'm just following my leader's orders and—”
Before that person could even finish his sentence, Zeke delivered him a slap across the face and sent half of his body into the soil. That person's skull was cracked, and his brain matter splattered everywhere.
To Zeke, the Dulliouds were evil and despicable. He didn't feel bad about killing them at all.
When the other Dulliouds saw that, they were utterly disheartened because they knew what could happen to them. If we don't cooperate, we'll surely die! We should just cooperate and stay alive!
Right then, one of the Dulliouds said, “I'll talk! L-Let me tell you.”
Zeke looked at him. “Talk.”
“There are two reasons we've set up our tiny base here. First, we want to kill the higher-ups of the Linton Group. Especially the one called Dawn. Secondly, we're here to manipulate the villagers to plant these seeds.”
“Why do you guys want to kill Dawn so badly?”
The Dullioud shook his head. “That, I don't know.”
Again, Zeke delivered him a slap across the face and sent half of his body into the soil. That person's skull was cracked, and his brain matter splattered everywhere.
He then glanced at another Dullioud. “You. Talk.”
The Dullioud was petrified. He held his head in his hands and begged, “Have mercy! Please have mercy! I-I don't know. I really don't know.”
When Zeke was about to deal the deadly blow, the leader uttered, “Please have mercy, Sir. I'll talk. They're just ordinary members, so they don't know much. I'm Rick Baker, their leader. I know the answers to your questions. I'll tell you what you want to know.”
Zeke gazed at Rick and instructed, “Tell me, then. If you dare to lie to me, I'll kill all of you.”
“As a matter of fact, what I'm about to tell you is a secret. I've only stumbled upon it by accident. Dullioud Supreme is interested in Dawn's body constitution. He said she's special, and her body will come in handy. That's why he's rather keen on killing her. Once she's buried, we intend to steal her body.”
Zeke frowned. “Dawn's body constitution is special? Why have I not noticed that? What's so special about it?”
“That, I don't know. It's already a big deal that I've found out about Dawn's special body constitution.”
Seeing that Rick was most probably telling the truth, Zeke stopped pressing on that matter.
Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “Also, why are you guys getting the villagers to plant soybeans?”
“I don't have the authority to know about that,” Rick answered frankly. “To be honest, I've been wondering about that, too. I've asked my friends, but none of them has the right to know about it either. I think that's considered a top-secret among the higher-ups of the Dulliouds.”
In response, Zeke exclaimed coldly, “If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!”
With a miserable look on his face, Rick answered, “Sir, I really have no idea. I'm just following the orders of the higher-ups. By the way, I thought there was something fishy about the seeds initially. Hence, I've tasted some of them, and they tasted exactly like ordinary soybeans. There was nothing wrong with them at all.”
“Hmph! You're trying to fool Zeke, aren't you? You're not qualified to do so! You should die!” Sole Wolf suddenly sent Rick flying with a kick.
It was just one kick, but the force from it had nearly killed Rick.
When he landed on the ground, blood was flowing out of his nostrils and mouth.
