The tatted man looked at Zeke.

“Oh dear. Is there no way out of this?” Ava whispered in despair.

Zeke sniggered and said to the tattooed man, “Remember that you said you're going to kneel down and call me grandpa if I could heal the kids? Time to honor your words.”

The tattooed man's face turned steely. “I've belittled you. I can't believe that you know about the worms. Who exactly are you, and who got you here?” he asked while cueing his partner to find out more about him.

His partner got the message and immediately took out a booklet and flipped through the pages.

“There's nothing whatsoever of this man, neither are there records of new inhabitants for the past three months,” he announced in a solemn tone after some time.

The two brutes felt threatened instantly. Obviously, this man, who knew about the cursed parasitic worm and killed it after forcing it out of the child's body, would be a formidable opponent.

Not willing to take any risk, he forwent the idea of capturing Zeke and coldly uttered, “Hmph. I shall report to the clan leader, and he will decide what to do with you. Now, let's go.”

With a big wave from the tattooed man, he and his partner left.

Zeke had the intention of mowing them down but eventually dismissed the thought.

There was no point in getting rid of them, since they were just lackeys. Worse still, it might set off alarms.

Playing the long game might be a better idea. He thought that it would be better to use the two brutes as bait and lure in the big fish.

Zeke lightly kicked a pebble onto the back of the head of the tattooed guy's partner.

“Argh!” He let out a shriek and collapsed on the ground.

That enraged the tattooed man. He gritted his teeth and growled, “B*stard! How dare you attack your master from behind? You must have a death wish! I'll make sure that the clan leader rips you apart!”

“Better make it quick, or else I'll turn this village into ashes, including all the worms!” Zeke gave an icy reply.

The tattooed man quickly got his partner over his shoulders and was ready to leave.

Again, Zeke shot a stone with his foot, and this time, it hit the tattooed man's knee pit, which drove the latter slamming onto the ground.

“You may leave, but your mate will have to stay as a hostage.”

Fine! If that's what you want!

“Aren't you a gutsy one? But you'll regret one day.” The tattooed man stared at Zeke with bloodshot eyes and scurried away.

The silent crowd, with raised eyebrows, channeled their focus onto Zeke.

They realized that this man was way more than average.

Not only did he miraculously heal the child, but even their masters also didn't have his record in their book.

It seems that he came here on his own without the masters' knowledge. Who's this guy? Why is he here? What's his agenda?
