Zeke glared at Crippled Williams from the corner of his eyes. The man was already shaking in fear when he found out that he was caught lying to Zeke.

I knew it! I knew you weren't telling the truth!

The elderly man trailed Zeke's gaze and saw Crippled Williams. He asked sarcastically, “Did he tell you they died because of a flood?”

Zeke nodded.

The man glowered at Crippled Williams. “I'll kill you, Crippled Williams!”

Zeke interrupted, “Wait. Could you tell us what happened? How did they die? Does this have anything to do with Crippled Williams?”

The old man's face fell in grief as he recalled the past. “I don't want to talk about it. It's been so many years anyway.”

Sole Wolf came forward and dropped a bag of money in front of the man. “I bet your story is worth this much? What about you bring us through what happened? We've very interested.”

That was what Sole Wolf was best at doing.

Solving problems with money was his forte. Besides, this tactic worked well in a destitute village like that. To the locals, money was the only way for them to escape their fate.

Indeed, when the old man saw the money, his jaw dropped to the ground.

“Y-Yes! I'll tell you everything!” the man instantly agreed when he saw the staggering amount of money.

He could not believe he had just run into someone who could completely change his life for the better, but he soon doubted his luck.

“Are you really giving me all of these money?”

Sole Wolf nodded. “Yes, but there's a condition. You have to tell us what happened. No lies.”

The man nodded without having a second thought. “I won't spare you any details!”

When Crippled Williams saw this, he figured he could also have a share in this, so he ran over to Zeke.

“Give me the money. I can tell you guys what happened too! I'm involved as well. I can give you an even more detailed account.”

Before he could even reach for the bag of money, Sole Wolf kicked him, and he fell to the ground.
