“This is Fisher Village,” said the young lady. “It looks like you’ve caught a cold. Here, have some of this seaweed soup.”

The lady passed Zeke a bowl of hot soup.

Zeke was cold and hungry, so he quickly finished the entire bowl.

As expected, the soup warmed him up, and he began to feel much better.

“Thanks, young lady,” Zeke said graciously.

“It’s no problem at all,” the lady replied. “By the way, what happened to you? How did you drift over here from the ocean?”

Zeke sighed. “It’s a long story. My friend and his family were wiped out. Hence I chased after our enemies to the depths of the sea to avenge him, but I ended up falling for one of the enemy’s tricks. My ship was destroyed, so here I am.”

Hmm?

The young lady furrowed her brows. She clearly looked hurt as tears seemed to well up in her eyes.

Zeke froze for a moment. “What’s wrong, young lady?”


“Your friend’s unfortunate situation reminded me of my family,” she answered with red eyes. “My family was wiped out a few days ago too, and I was the only survivor.”

What a coincidence.

Could this young lady be part of Black Wolf’s family?

Zeke glanced at the young woman and noticed that she did resemble Black Wolf.

“What’s your father’s name, young lady?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Brad Horan. Oh, my father said never to reveal his name, so don’t tell anyone else about it.”

Brad Horan?

That’s Black Wolf’s pseudonym!

She really is his descendant.

Zeke suddenly felt consoled. At least it wasn’t the end of Black Wolf’s family line.

He asked, “How did you escape?”

“My father secretly brought me here when I was ten, so I’ve been getting by on my own ever since. At that time, he told everyone at home that I was dead, so they didn’t know that I’m still alive. That’s how I managed to escape from the death trap.”

“You were forced to live on your own since you were ten? Do you hate your father for that?”

The lady shook her head. “I don’t. Let me tell you a secret, but don’t share it with anyone else.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t spill,” Zeke responded, nodding.

“I suspect that my father used to be an undercover agent and that his job was to gather information for the country.”

“Why do you think so?”
