Zeke was not done with Speedy yet, so he glanced at the list again. “He slapped you thrice, right? Give him fifteen slaps.”

Then, he turned to Speedy. “You'd better not try anything silly again because I'll cut off the limbs you move. If you move your head, I'll behead you.”

Speedy was dumbfounded when he heard that.

When the next guard hit him in the face, he dared not defend himself but simply cried in pain. I'll lose another part of my body if I retaliate. This is outrageous and sickening!

At that point, Speedy could not find the right word to describe Zeke.

Zeke then swept his gaze across the guards and inquired, “Did Speedy also bully you? If so, now is the time to get even.”

“That b*stard tore my shirt,” uttered Phoenix.

“Okay. After we're done beating him, we'll strip him naked and throw him out,” promised Zeke.

“Understood!”

“Those who have no score to settle with Speedy, you may return to your work. Don't let him affect our order here.”

After the crowd dispersed to return to work, Phoenix approached Zeke and inquired concernedly, “Zeke, aren't you afraid that Legion would want payback for the cruelty you're showing Speedy?”

“You know that my goal is to become Theos, which makes Legion and the Camp Masters my prey. They'll save me the trip by coming to me,” answered Zeke with a smile.

Phoenix shook her head while chuckling bitterly. Zeke is truly hopeless. What makes him think a mere mortal like him can be Theos? He'd have to be a deity to achieve such a feat. Wait a second! He did show that he was supernatural on more than one occasion. Could he really be... a deity? If that's the case, he probably can replace Theos.

Phoenix was taken aback by the thought but quickly shook her head to return to her senses. “What am I thinking? Zeke is just an ordinary man who eats and sleeps just like the rest of us. How could he be a deity?”

The truth was that Phoenix refused to believe Zeke was a deity mainly because she knew she could not be with him if that were true.

When the guards were finally done slapping Speedy, his face became as swollen as a frog in the autumn.
