The man groveled to Zeke. “Great Marshal, I've told you everything that I know. Could you please spare my life?”

Zeke answered, “Normally, you, along with your whole family, would be exterminated for joining Netherworld and stealing the Fortuna in Eurasia. However, since you've been rather honest with me, I'll make an exception and only take your life.”

Before the man could say anything, Zeke used his energy to penetrate the man's shadow.

After the shadow dissipated, the physical body of the man started to rot away.

This man has been dead for quite a while. That being said, with the shadow's help, he was able to move and talk like a normal person.

When Zeke went back to check on Missy and Lacey, he saw Ares pumping air into the balloons with an impatient look on his face.

I never thought I would be selling balloons on the street one day.

Ares glanced at Zeke, as if he was asking Zeke a question.

“They're under Throne Lake,” Zeke murmured.

Ares immediately understood who Zeke was referring to.


So Warren and Daemonium are hiding under Throne Lake, huh?

Lacey was baffled. “What are you talking about?”

Zeke caressed Lacey's hair before responding, “Lacey, you should head back to the hotel first. I still have something to take care of here. Don't worry, my men will keep you safe.”

Lacey's face tensed up as she replied, “Okay.”

Zeke turned toward Ares and uttered, “Inform the others.”

“Understood.”

Ares immediately left.

Lacey was stupefied in place. “Zeke, was the old woman just now really my father, Ares?”

Zeke did not answer her, merely smiled slightly.

“The one who gave us a candied apple was one of your men as well? Was this all part of your plan?”

Fraught with guilt, Zeke apologized, “I'm sorry I can't keep you and Missy company, Lacey. I have to deal with the problem at hand as it concerns the Fortuna in Eurasia.”

Lacey responded, “It's okay, Zeke. We understand. Just go and do your thing. You don't have to worry about us.”

Zeke nodded.

Out of the blue, someone in the crowd uttered, “Look, there's a magnificent mirage forming above the lake!”

The people at Throne Lake were in awe of the stunning mirage formed above the lake. They were all captivated by its beauty.

Gazing at the image formed above the lake, Zeke realized that the image wasn't a mirage.

The image was just the materialization of the Fortuna in the lake.
