After taking care of Wallace Walters’s remains, Sole Wolf called Zeke and told him what happened.

On the other side of the phone, Zeke fell silent for a long while.

Sole Wolf’s heart raced because he knew that the Great Marshal was angry.

Sure enough, he got scolded, “Ten days of confinement. Any problem with that?”

“Zeke, I’m willing to face any punishment.”

“I told you. Run background checks on all recruits. Only if there’s more than one son in their family are they allowed to go to the battlefield, lest their family line dies out. Wallace’s father and brothers were martyrs, so how did he manage to join the army?”

Sole Wolf replied, “Zeke, don’t worry. I will give you a proper explanation regarding this issue. Reminders were given to the recruitment department all the time, yet this still happened. We will reflect on our mistakes heavily.”

Zeke responded, “Fine. By the way, Connor stole the Eurasia’s Spirit Stone. We need to locate him before he flees the country.”

“Alright.”


“Besides, are you sure that four people were the ones who killed your father back then?”

Sole Wolf answered, “That’s what they said.”

In a thoughtful manner, Zeke replied, “Did you keep their photos? They look like Eurasians. Perhaps we can look them up in the Eurasia database.”

Sole Wolf answered, “No. But Connor was calling one of them Phoenix.”

“Phoenix?!” Shocked, Zeke repeated that name.

Sole Wolf asked out of curiosity, “Do you know him?”

Zeke replied ruefully, “Do you remember about The Four Divinities from back then?

Sole Wolf asked, “Are you talking about The Four Divinities under Chris Black’s rule? Right! One of them is named Phoenix as well!”

Zeke analyzed, “Not long after the masked men tried to assassinate me back then, The Four Divinities retired, and we lost all trace of them. In hindsight, it was probably because they were scared that I would hunt them down.”

Crap!

Sole Wolf became irate. “Bast***! Serves the Thistleton family right for being exterminated.”

Zeke suggested, “You should recuperate first. We can talk about the confinement after you recover. I’m going to pay tribute to my stepfather now.”

Shortly, he took a fighter jet and traveled to the North.

It was already evening when he arrived.

Under the settling sun, the sky was illuminated red, and a lone grave sat stoically in the scene.
