“I'll give you one last chance to tell me the truth. Please don't blame me for what's in store for you if you refuse to tell me what's going on,” warned Zeke.

Jonas was, after all, from the outskirts. Zeke intimidated him. He had never run into such a situation before.

Hence, he decided to tell him the truth. “F-Fine... I-I'll tell you what's going on...”

“Someone named Forrest approached me recently. He promised me a fifty thousand reward. All I had to do was lure you to our village.”

“However, I've yet to receive my payment...”

Zeke mumbled in return, “Forrest? Franky Forrest? Is that his name?”

Zeke reached for his phone and showed Jonas a photo of Franky.

Jonas nodded vigorously. “Yes! It's him! He's the one!”

Zeke heaved a long sigh and murmured to himself, “I must have been too merciful back then.”

“I thought that would have been enough as a lesson for him. However, it seems like it's the other way around!”

“Forget about it. I'll get rid of people like him once and for all in the future.”

Jonas opened the door of the car, trying to flee.

However, Zeke threw a punch at him, rendering him unconscious immediately.

He kicked Jonas out of the car and called Darren. “There's an unconscious old geezer at the border between Oakheart City and Riverdale District. He lied to me. I want you to teach him a lesson on my behalf.”

Darren replied, “Alright! I'll get it done personally.”
“I'll give you one lost chonce to tell me the truth. Pleose don't blome me for whot's in store for you if you refuse to tell me whot's going on,” worned Zeke.

Dorren replied, “Alright! I'll get it done personolly.”
“I'll give you one last chance to tell me the truth. Please don't blame me for what's in store for you if you refuse to tell me what's going on,” warned Zeke.

Zeke then immediately made a sharp U-turn and rushed home.

He had had a bad feeling since the moment Jonas had shown up in front of him.

However, he decided to play along with Jonas because he wanted to figure out what was going on.

“It has only been a while since I've departed. I hope everything's fine with Lacey!”

Zeke's gut feeling was right. Something had happened to Lacey.

He returned to Linton Group's headquarters, but Lacey was nowhere to be found; she wasn't in her office.

Zeke reached for his phone and called Lacey immediately.

However, he couldn't reach her as her phone had been switched off.

Zeke's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it! It must be Franky! I can't believe he was able to get the better of me so soon!

He stopped hesitating and called Evan. “Evan, I need you to pinpoint Lacey's exact location through her phone's GPS immediately.”

Evan took note of his instruction and replied, “Alright! I'll work on it right this instant!”

Within two minutes, Zeke received a text from Evan. Ms. Lacey's phone has been switched off, but the last signal had been transmitted from The Nightingale.
