Chapter 973

“Lone Wolf, gather the Rivermouth military and meet me at Whiteridge’s tourist area.”

“Wolf’s Greed, take the Atheville military and converge at Whiteridge’s tourist area.”

“Sole Wolf, Serpent...”

Upon relaying his instructions to his team, a murderous air surrounded Zeke.

He had originally only planned to swallow the Lewis family’s fortune.

Unfortunately, they kept pushing his buttons.

Very well. I’ll turn the Lewis family into ash and dust!

Soon, Zeke arrived near the Whiteridge tourist spot and rendezvoused with the Alpha Suicide Squad.

The squad comprised of Lone Wolf, Sole Wolf, Wolf’s Greed, and the one who was addressed as ‘Serpent’. He was previously known as Drake, Eurasia’s number one master.

Lone Wolf and Wolf’s Greed each led their own team of ten thousand men, making the scene appear glorious and magnificent.

“Wolf’s Greed, have you investigated the matter?” Zeke cut straight to the chase.

Wolf’s Greed nodded in answer. “Yes. There have never been any bandits in the area.”

“I also discovered that Ryker had left the military base with a hundred men. However, only fifty of them had arrived with him. The remaining men could have been arranged by Ryker to pose as bandits.”

Zeke smashed his fist against the stone beside him. “Hmph. He’s a disgrace to the military for instructing soldiers to pose as bandits.”

“This time, he must be eliminated for good.”

“Have you discovered where the bandits are hiding?”

Wolf’s Greed answered, “They are on a barren mountain around the Whiteridge tourist spot. The locals call it Wild Boar Mountain.”

“Move out!” Zeke commanded.

The large group of men marched purposefully towards Wild Boar Mountain.

On the way there, Zeke received a call from Ryker.

“I’m currently negotiating with the bandits on Wild Boar Mountain and I’m trying to rescue the hostage,”

Ryker informed.

“Come alone, if you’re planning to come. You might set them off by bringing too many people. And if they hurt the hostage because of it, you’ll have to take full responsibility.”

Zeke calmly answered, “Noted.”

He paused in his stride and instructed, “Get the majority of the men to covertly surround Wild Boar Mountain and tell them to ensure that their presence isn’t discovered.”

“You guys secretly follow me up the mountain, and quietly get rid of the bandits taking watch outside.”

After giving out his orders, Zeke headed towards Wild Boar Mountain without breaking stride.

Half an hour later, Zeke climbed up Wild Boar Mountain.

A few bandits who were standing watch restrained Zeke and brought him into a cave.

In the cave, Ryker was confronting the one-eyed man, and the fake tension in the air was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.

The gunshot wound on Ryker’s thigh had been bandaged, but blood was still oozing out from it, staining his pants red.

Nancy was tied to a stone pillar. Fear and distress were sprawled across her features as she shivered violently like a frightened kitten.

Upon spotting Zeke, Nancy immediately yelled hysterically, “Get out of here, Zeke! Don’t try and save me!”

“If you die, Lacey will be forced into a living hell. I don’t want to feel sorry towards her for the rest of my life.”

Zeke took a deep breath and warned her, “Nancy Hinton, you’d better remember what I’m about to say.

After I save your life today, you need to stop holding a grudge against me, and stop picking on me every chance you get.”

He was really fed up of getting bullied by her at every turn.

Nancy felt frustration, as tears welled in her eyes. “How can you talk bulls***, even at a time like this?”

“I’m warning you, if you die before Lacey does, I’ll not only pick on you, rather, I’ll cut your corpse into tiny pieces and feed you to the dogs.”

“Shut up!” Cyclops was irritated, snapping at them, “Both of you will die today!”

“Cyclops, we had an agreement,” Ryker spoke up just then.

“You’d said that if Zeke Williams were to withdraw from Atheville, remaining in Rivermouth for the rest of his life, you’ll let us safely leave.”

“Are you going back on your words now?”
