Chapter 1239

“My name is May Horan,” the lady answered.

“That’s good to know.” Zeke smiled with relief.

Just as he was about to reveal himself as her father’s master, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A man with a goatee walked in with a group.

May quickly got up and stared at them anxiously.

“She’s the one you’re looking for, Mr. Seaton,” the man with the goatee said to a middle-aged bloke in a tunic suit.

The tunic-wearing man nodded. “She looks so much like him.”

“Who are they, Chief?” May cautiously asked the man with the goatee, who was the village leader. “I don’t know any of them, and why are they looking for me?”

“They’re from the Marine Police Force, May. They have some questions for you, so be sure to cooperate with them.”

“Okay,” May answered quietly.

“You moved here eight years ago?” the tunic-wearing man asked.

May nodded. “Yes.”

“Is your father Brad Horan? He sent you here, didn’t he?”

May hastily shook her head. “I’ve never heard of him. My family died long ago. I moved to Fisher Village so I could make ends meet.”

The man smirked. “Do you think you can fool us? You look very much like Brad Horan. In fact, we’ve compared your DNA to his. We can confirm you’re his daughter.”

May fell silent at that moment.

If they already had a DNA report, it was pointless of her to say anything more.

“I suggest you cooperate with our investigations to make things easier,” the man continued. “Did your father, Brad Horan, tell you to keep watch over something here? Hand it over, and you’ll be promised a lifetime of wealth.”

However, May remained resolute. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The tunic-wearing man sighed. “You sure are stubborn. Boys, let’s show her what we’re capable of! I’ll make her life a living hell as long as she doesn’t hand over what she’s guarding.”

Several burly men began to close in on May.

May jumped in fright and stepped back.

Eventually, she arrived next to Zeke and carefully shoved a piece of paper into his hand while giving him a profound glance.

At that moment, Zeke was overwhelmed with emotions.

She’s ready to give up her life just to protect this secret.

She’s even sharing it with me so that it will never be lost in case she dies.

If I’m not mistaken, the note she just gave me has to be what this tunic guy is after.

Zeke was now extremely curious as to what Black Wolf had told May to protect.

The fact that he risked his entire family’s lives to safeguard it shows how important it is. It has to be a national secret.

On top of that, this guy came all the way here just to get it.

Thus, Zeke was determined to uncover this mystery.

“Stop it right there! Who are you?” he demanded coldly.

The tunic-wearing man finally noticed Zeke.

“And who are you? What are you doing in such a place?”

“I’m just passing by.”

“Passing by? Interesting. Capture both of them! This man might know about the secret too.”

“Yes, Sir!” his guards responded.

May began to panic. “He’s really just a passerby. Don’t give him any trouble.”

But Zeke gently patted May’s shoulder. “Don’t be afraid, kid. No one’s going to hurt you with me standing here.”

Such insolence!

The tunic-wearing man snickered. “A cripple trying to act like a hero? What a joke. Seize them!”

He had thought Zeke was disabled since the latter was lying in bed the whole time.

Just then, Zeke pulled May over with one hand. With a swing of his other hand, a few silver needles came flying out.
