Daniel looked extremely worried. “We need to be prepared for the possibility that the other party might not back down. If we marry Lacey to Zeke Williams now, we might incriminate Zeke too.”

Hannah burst into tears. “Oh, my poor daughter! She’s had such a horrible life. If I could exchange my life for her happiness, I would happily die for her.”

Daniel sighed. “Let’s try our best to put off the wedding for as long as we can. For the time being, let’s lay low until there’s a chance for us to act.”

Zeke had a frown on his face. How many terrible secrets are these two hiding that I can’t even marry their daughter in peace?

Just as he was pondering over the matter, his phone started ringing. It was Rosie White from Necro Group.

As soon as he picked up, the woman said, “We tested the solution we found on the bodies of the Men in Black. The lab results are out.”

She continued, “It’s Polytrimethylamine, and it’s a type of poison. When it comes into contact with the human body, it can cause great damage to the person’s hippocampus. The hippocampus is responsible for storing our memories, so this sort of poison can be used to erase a person’s memory.”

Erase a person’s memory?

Did the Man in Black kidnap the elderly couple in order to erase their memories?

The situation was getting more and more confusing to Zeke.

The kidnapping incident no longer seemed like the work of the Sullivan family.

What the Sullivan family wanted was Lacey’s Hundred Poisons Immunity as well as Zeke’s own heart.

Erasing the memories of the elderly couple would be of no use to them!

As the thought of Lacey’s Hundred Poisons Immunity entered his head, realization dawned on Zeke.

It was common knowledge that not anyone could possess the Hundred Poisons Immunity. Only someone of noble birth could possess it, and even then, a person like that only appeared once in a thousand years.

However, Lacey was from a very average family. Both her parents were of the working class; nobody would associate their family with nobility.

The only explanation for such a linkage was that Hannah was not Lacey’s biological mother despite her being Daniel’s legal wife.

Lacey could be the long-lost heiress of some noble family.

Perhaps that was why Hannah was so reticent about the matter.

Zeke decided to wait for his chance to strike.

He needed to find the hidden enemy first before seeking out Mr. and Mrs. Hinton again. When he captured the fiend, he would finally be able to question them on the truth about Lacey’s birth.

Zeke quickly called Wolf’s Greed over the phone and told him to send some people over to keep the Hinton family safe from harm.

The Hintons were openly feuding with the Sullivan family while trying to ward off an unknown enemy at the same time.

Difficult times were ahead of them.

...

At the Sullivan family home in the Southern Islands, the wheelchair-bound Lennon Sullivan turned to his grandmother, saying, “Grandma, I’ve finally understood how Zeke Williams managed to force Phobos and Deimos into submission.”

Eresing the memories of the elderly couple would be of no use to them!
