Chapter 1332

“Why?” Winston asked curiously.

“That’s none of your business,” Connor replied indifferently and hung up the call since he had delivered the orders as instructed.

Suddenly, Zeke and Mr. Collins exchanged glances as though they had come to a unanimous agreement.

It seems like Chris is being extremely cautious. I’m sure he’s aware we’re investigating him.

To prevent Chris from getting suspicious, Zeke instructed Winston to stay put for the time being and had him produce the titanium bullets as requested.

Unequivocally, Winston gave in to Zeke’s instructions because he dared not to defy the instruction of a King Class warrior. In fact, he couldn’t possibly defy it due to the differences in their capabilities.

Eventually, Zeke brought Mr. Collins over to the confidential archive room to verify Chris’ information.

The archive indicated Chris had indeed made a trip to Devonville during Autumn four years ago. He was dispatched to a place called Lake Thewilsa to execute a classified mission.

Since it was a classified mission, the details and information regarding the mission had been omitted.

Zeke and Mr. Collins couldn’t help but doubt the objective of Chris’ visit. In the end, Zeke suggested, “I guess we have to make a trip to Lake Thewilsa.”

Finally, they made their way to Lake Thewilsa once they had made up their minds to figure out the truth.

Lake Thewilsa was similar to the villages in Eurasia, it was vastly underdeveloped with rampant poverty.

For the sake of convenience, Zeke and Mr. Collins disguised themselves as census enumerators.

Since the village was vastly underdeveloped, the villagers were relatively undereducated. The chief of the village couldn’t tell them apart from an actual census enumerator as well.

He addressed Zeke and Mr. Collins respectfully the moment he saw them. Eventually, he welcomed both of them and brought them to his home.

Once they reached the chief’s place, they conducted an interview to disguise the actual purpose of their visit.

“How many villagers are there in total?” Zeke asked casually because he didn’t want to raise any suspicion.

“There are a total of three hundred villagers, but there are only two hundred and ninety-six mortal villagers.”

“Huh? What do you mean? Where are the other four villagers?” Zeke and Mr. Collins were equally confused.

“The other four villagers aren’t mortal,” The chief replied.

Instead of the deceased ones, the chief addressed the four villagers as immortals. Therefore, Zeke and Mr. Collins were intrigued by the rationale behind it.

“If they aren’t mortal, what exactly are they?” Zeke asked in return.

Suddenly, the chief’s expression turned gloomy, and he rushed over to close the window immediately.

Once he returned to his seat, he lowered his volume and told Zeke and Mr. Collins, “I’m aware those from the city deem us as being superstitious, but we ain’t lying because the remaining four are immortals. Immortals ain’t merely beings of myths!”

Mr. Collins burst into laughter because he found the chief’s words hilarious.

After all, there were only a mere few who would believe the existence of immortals nowadays.

Immortals are the beings that possessed the capabilities to travel through realms. They had been tasked to be the intermediaries amongst mortals and beings of different realms.

The chief got anxious due to Mr. Collins’ response. He warned them immediately, “You have to believe me! The immortals of the village are extremely capable! They have the ability to summon the soldiers of other realms upon the village! We have witnessed the descent of the soldiers back in the day. The four immortals were the ones leading the said soldiers.”

The descent of soldiers of other realms?

All of a sudden, Zeke asked because he recalled something, “Do you remember the direction the soldiers from the other realms have headed over to back then?”

“They headed Southeast.”

The chief shared his experience with Zeke and Mr. Collins. “Back then, it was around one o’clock in the evening. It was an extremely foggy and breezy night. There were over ten thousand soldiers that marched over from Northwest and headed Southeast. I saw it with my own eyes; the leaders of the soldiers were the immortals of the village. In fact, they saw me and greeted me with a smile. On the next morning after the incident, they finally returned to the village. Once they made their way back, they warned me not to tell anyone about the incident...”

He went on and on for quite some time, but Zeke stopped paying attention to the chief’s words.

The soldiers from the other realms headed over in the southeast direction.

That was the only thing Zeke had in his mind because the imperial mausoleum that had a great amount of Spirit Stone was in the southeast direction of Lake Thewilsa.

Could it be the so-called soldiers from the other realm were the ones Chris had employed to take out the ones from the Seal Mercenary?
