That's weird... This doesn't sound like something they would say...

Zeke began observing them closely.

Eyeballs slightly rolled upward, unnatural facial expressions, awkward body movements... On top of that, they look like they're barely awake, judging by how unsteady they are on their feet... Someone must be controlling their minds! Only those from the Netherworld are capable of such sorcery, so could it be that they're the ones behind this? Have they gotten so powerful that they've snaked their way into holy and righteous religions like Buddhism now? That's really scary!

After taking a moment to recollect his thoughts, Zeke said, “I can let Charles go but under one condition.”

“What would that be?” the voice asked.

“Josephine has bullied my wife and daughter several times. I want her to pay the price for that,” Zeke replied.

Josephine lost her cool instantly. “Shut up, Zeke! He and I are on the same side! Don't even think about turning us against each other...”

A rock then came flying toward her from behind the statue and hit her on the back before she could even finish her sentence.

The impact sent Josephine tumbling toward Zeke, and Sole Wolf stomped hard on her as he asked, “What shall we do with her, Zeke?”

“Keep her alive for now. She'll be of use to us later,” Zeke replied.

“Yes, Sir!”

Josephine struggled like crazy on the floor, but Sole Wolf was simply too strong for her to break free.

All she could do was scream at the top of her lungs to vent her anger. “You b*stard! You f*cking b*stard! How dare you betray me like this? You'll die a horrible death!”

She then turned toward Zeke and said, “You mustn't kill me, Williams! This is an era of law and order; you will be prosecuted for murder if you kill me!”

Law and order?

Sole Wolf burst out laughing upon hearing that. “Zeke is the law! Why would he prosecute himself?”

“Bullsh*t! Your words are an insult to the criminal justice system of Eurasia and constitute contempt of court! That's another crime on top of your existing ones...”

“Shut... Shut up, Josephine! He... He's the Great Marshal... He is the law!” Charles said weakly.

“So what if he is the Great Marshal? Even if he... Wait, what did you say? He's the Great Marshal? As in the legendary Great Marshal? No, that's impossible! You're lying! You must be lying!” Josephine screamed in disbelief.

Charles sighed. “I didn't want to believe it either, but it's the truth.”

“I...”

Josephine was so shocked by her sudden discovery that she nearly fainted on the spot.
