Sole Wolf freaked out. “Who would dare to go after them?”

“I'm not sure just yet. Hurry on over and meet up with me!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Sole Wolf hung up the phone after that and rushed over while Zeke continued tracking Lacey and Missy down by following the scent trail they had left behind.

The trail ended abruptly when he got to a secluded area, leaving Zeke at a loss all of a sudden. While glancing about, Zeke noticed a button lying on the ground and picked it up.

This button... It belongs to Missy!

Having recognized the button, Zeke began scanning the surrounding area and soon found another one east of where he stood.

Missy sure is a smart one! She must've left these behind to point us in their direction!

Sole Wolf and the others arrived shortly after.

“Have you found them yet, Zeke?” Sole Wolf asked.

Zeke shook his head. “Not yet, but I think I know where they are. Come with me!”

With that, the group headed east as quickly as their feet could carry.

They hadn't gotten far when they detected the horrifying stench of blood, and everyone began praying that it belonged to neither Lacey nor Missy.

They soon tracked the source of the blood to the bodies of Big Back and his group of spies.

Zeke examined them and realized they all had their throats slit open.

The wounds were clean and deep, which indicated that the killers were professionals.

Fortunately, Lacey and Missy were not among the pile of bodies.

However, having dozens of his spies from the North killed like that still upset Zeke greatly.

“Those who dared harm my men from the North must die!” he shouted through clenched teeth.

Sole Wolf gently closed Big Back's eyes that were wide open before asking with a sob, “Do you know who did this, Zeke?”

“Whoever did this is definitely related to Josephine!” Zeke replied.

Sole Wolf and the others had no idea who Josephine was, but they clenched their fists and shouted in unison anyway, “You're dead, Josephine! We're going to kill you and your entire family!”

“Let's keep moving!”

Zeke then continued to follow the trail of buttons left by Missy for about an hour before arriving outside a temple.

The temple was rather small and seemed old as most of its bricks had eroded.

A rough estimation revealed the temple to be at least five hundred years old.

“There is a bloody handprint on the door frame, Mr. Williams. It looks quite fresh. Do you think it belongs to Mrs. Williams?” Alfred whispered.

Zeke gently rubbed some of the blood on his finger and took a sniff at it.
