Chapter 1264

The Great Marshal shall cease to exist as of today. If and only if I managed to find a successor before this!

Wolf’s Greed led his men to patrol the perimeter.

Meanwhile, Zeke meditated near the stone door in an attempt to absorb the energy and repair his life force.

Moments later, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His life force had been damaged so severely that he could not even take in a small fraction of the universal energy.

He nearly got overwhelmed by it and died on the spot.

Power-wise, he was back to square one.

Even if he found the Spirit Stone mine, there was nothing he could do.

...

Meanwhile, at the Prince’s Residence, Atheville.

The Prince’s Residence was in the central district of Atheville, a stone’s throw away from Glasbury, showing how important the owner was.

The owner of Prince’s Residence was Chris Black.

He was a hero of the older generation who achieved many feats in war. His power level was not King class, but the people still hailed him as a king either way!

His reputation and influence were on par with the Great Marshal.

However, he had long since retired and chose not to meddle with politics, and his favorite pastime was fishing in his pond.

On that day, while Chris was fishing, a man dressed in black rushed forward and bowed down to him.

He greeted him, “Good day, Sir. This is code 003.”

Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to notice that this man was the one who witnessed the Great Marshal coughing up blood.

Back then, Zeke was fighting off the Four Great Ninjas at a department store while expanding his life force.

After saving Missy Williams, he bolted to the washroom to cough up blood.

This scene happened in full view of Code 003.

Chris glanced at him and nodded, “Rise and state your business.”

Code 003 got up and reported, “Sir, I’ve noticed that the Great Marshal coughed up blood after a major battle. He was staggering and was obviously pale. I suspect that his life force has been damaged.”

What?

Chris’ hand trembled and stared at Code 003 in shock. He queried, “Is this true?”

Code 003 reported, “I witnessed it myself.”

Good! Chris finally smiled, “Zeke Williams, now that your life force is damaged, you’re no match for me.

I’d like to see you try to snatch the Spirit Stone mine from me.”

The Spirit Stone mine was discovered by Chris a few years back. However, the mine had not matured yet, so he sealed it with a stone door and a lock.

He had intended to absorb the energy for himself and attain King class.

When that happened, he would truly be invincible.

Even the Great Marshal would have no choice but to admit defeat.

Yet to his dismay, just as the mine was about to mature, Zeke discovered it.

Even so, he had not attempted to seize control of it knowing that he was no match for the legendary Great Marshal.

However, now that he had received news of the Great Marshal’s life force being damaged, he was confident that he could win.

The King class was within his grasp.

Chris inquired, “What’s the status of the Spirit Stone mine at the moment?”

Code 003 reported, “It is currently being guarded by General Cosmopolis and the military. They prohibit all unauthorized personnel from approaching it.”

Chris frowned. If I attack General Cosmopolis, I’ll be loathed by the public if they find out who I am. I can’t be sure that General Cosmopolis won’t be able to recognize me.

Code 003 continued, “Sir, I still have something to report.”

“Carry on,” Chris replied.

Code 003 stated, “Pike, who had gone to seize the Spirit Stone mine, has died under the Great Marshal’s hands. Before he died, he sent the news regarding the Spirit Stone mine all over the Dark Web. Now, all major international organizations know that there is a Spirit Stone mine in Eurasia and are itching to make a move.”

When Code 003 said this, a glint appeared in Chris’ eyes.
