Meanwhile, Zeke picked up a piece of lemon and waved it around. “Tsk Tsk, this slice of lemon looks especially sour.”

Nancy was speechless.

Are you accusing me of being salty?

How dare you!

Never mind, there’s no point in wasting time on someone like him.

Nancy turned to console Mance, “Ignore him. He is a useless man who has to rely on his wife for a living. He’s nothing compared to you.”

Despite his infuriation, Mance suppressed his anger to maintain his chivalrous facade.

He nodded in agreement. “Mmm, don’t worry. I’m not that narrow-minded.”

At that moment, Mance’s phone rang.

It was John. “Mance, I have sent the Maserati you requested to the entrance of the Michelin-starred restaurant.”

Mance briefly acknowledged John and ended the call.


He then asked Nancy, “Are you done eating? Your car has arrived, let us go take a look.”

Nancy nodded in agreement. She had no deSire to stay a second longer.

Zeke suggested to Lacey, “Honey, let’s join them too.”

Holding onto Zeke’s arm, Lacey smiled blissfully. “Anything you say.”

Outside, John was directing some men to lower the Maserati from the trailer.

When Zeke saw John, he couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows.

He could detect a rotten scent from the old man, it smelt like a dead body.

John’s figure was thin and scrawny, just like a corpse.

Could it be that he is a warlock?

He has to be one.

Only a warlock who dealt with worms for a long time would have this unique smell.

Besides, the reason he was thin and malnourished was that the worms he raised lived off his body.

They would suck all the nutrients from him, causing him to look scrawny.

The situation now took an interesting turn.

Zeke was sure that this warlock killed Logan and the others with his poisonous worms.

Why did he do it?

He was in the same line as Logan and Wilson. Therefore, they worked for the same boss.

If Zeke had continued to investigate Logan and the others, he might have found out who their real boss was. Hence, the warlock was tasked to kill them so that Zeke would not have any leads.

If the warlock were doing Mance’s bidding, it would imply that the latter was in the same line as them.
