Chapter - 1789

This indicated that Zeke was unable to fully control the Fortuna.

Daemonium and Warren quickly made their escape and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Zeke, do we go after them?" Sole Wolf asked anxiously.

Zeke shook his head. "Even I won't be able to keep up with them; we might as well forget about it."

"Why didn't you let Fortuna press on the attack when we had the upper hand earlier? It'll be hard to find Daemonium and his men now that they've gotten away!" Sole Wolf asked in frustration.

"You think I didn't want to? I don't have full control over Fortuna yet. I probably need some more training,"

Sole Wolf sighed. "What a shame... You have an unstoppable power inside you, and yet you can't put it to use when you need to,"
"We should consider ourselves lucky that we could stop the Netherworld from stealing Fortuna. On top of that, Fortuna has now become your most powerful tool of defense. Keep in mind that Fortuna is sentient and can materialize itself to protect your life during critical moments. This is an extremely rare condition, so you really shouldn't be complaining," Tyler said.

"Sentient? How did you know that Fortuna is sentient?" Zeke asked in confusion.

"Daemonium tried to take your life when you were unconscious earlier, and Fortuna materialized itself to protect you at the last second. I'm sure it will do so again should you find yourself in a similar situation in the future. You may think of it as an amulet of some sort. No one will be able to harm you unless they take out Fortuna first. Given the fact that Fortuna was formed through the ideas of billions of Eurasians, I doubt it can be easily destroyed," Tyler explained.

That was when Zeke finally understood what happened.

"Does that mean Zeke has now become practically untouchable? That's great! Zeke, we should go take out some of our enemies near the borders. Now that nobody can kill you, we do not need to fear those enemies
anymore!" Sole Wolf suggested with a chuckle.

Zeke burst out laughing upon hearing that.

Sole Wolf just wants to plunge the world into chaos, huh? I bet he would start causing trouble at the borders if he was the one who absorbed Fortuna instead!

With that in mind, Zeke decided to ignore Sole Wolf and glanced at Charles who then began trembling nervously.

"I'm sorry, Great Marshal! Please forgive me! I won't do it again! I swear!” he pleaded while kneeling on the floor.

Sole Wolf simply kicked him onto his back mercilessly. "You were in cahoots with those from the Netherworld. You tried to help them steal Fortuna from us! You nearly doomed all of Eurasia, damn it! How dare you beg for mercy after committing such a heinous crime? I want to kill him right now, Zeke!"

"Hey, Mr. Williams has promised to let me handle Charles!" Alfred protested.

Zeke waved at them and said casually, "We're in no rush to kill him just yet. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and Charles' father is the head of the Ministry of Sacred. If Charles is working with the Netherworld's forces, then his father is probably no better. I want you guys to take Charles in and surround the Ministry of Sacred. I'll meet you guys there after picking up Lacey and Missy."

"Okay!"

The men then split up and got to work.

Zeke made his way to the hotel but couldn't seem to find Lacey and Missy anywhere.

With a frown on his face, he tried to see if he could sense Big Back's men in the area but found no traces of them whatsoever.

Where did Lacey go? Zeke quickly contacted Big Back and felt relieved when the call got through seconds later.

"Where are my wife and daughter?" he asked.

"Mrs. Williams's friend, Josephine, has invited her and Ms. Missy over to the Ministry of Sacred as guests, Great Marshal," Big Back replied.

"Damn it! Don't you guys know that Josephine is trying to get my wife killed?" Zeke shouted.

What?

Big Back was shocked. “I'm sorry, Great Marshal! I had no idea! We'll get rid of Josephine, then escort Mrs. Williams and Ms. Missy back to the hotel right away!"

"All right."

Zeke nodded and was about to hang up when he heard a commotion on the other line.

"What the... Who are you? What are you... Argh! Ugh..."

Those were all that he heard from Big Back before the line went dead. Sh*t! Someone must've ambushed Big Back! Whoever it is must be after Lacey and Missy; their lives are in danger!

Zeke's heart began to race in panic at the thought of that.

He then jumped straight down from the top floor and made a mad dash toward the Ministry of Sacred.

Unbeknownst to him, the hotel's guests who were having lunch in its restaurant were shocked by that little stunt of his.

One of the guests shouted in shock, "Hey, look! What is that?"

As his loud voice had disrupted the relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant, most of the guests were displeased with his behavior.

The waiter was about to tell him to keep his voice down, but the other guests began to freak out one after another.

"My goodness! I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"Is this some kind of trapeze performance arranged by the hotel?"

"His body isn't attached to a rope, so there's no way that's a trapeze performance!"

"Do you mean there are people in this world who can fly?"

"Um... Maybe he has some kind of superpower!"

The waiter followed their gaze and looked out the window as well, only to go wideeyed with shock seconds later.

A man has jumped off the top floor with no harness or ropes on his body and is falling through the air with his arms outstretched like a pair of wings... I don't know about trapeze performances or superpowers, but that man is most likely going to end up a bloody corpse once he hits the ground! This is clearly a suicidal act!

The onlookers grew increasingly nervous as Zeke got nearer to the ground.

Boom!

Zeke's body crashed onto the ground with a loud boom and formed a deep crater where he landed.

The impact was so great that the entire hotel shook slightly as a result.

Everyone let out sympathetic sighs as they thought a young man had committed suicide.

As they didn't know who he was, the guests

weren't really bothered by it and were about to go back to eating.

That was when the waiter exclaimed loudly in surprise and disbelief, "Holy sh*t, he's alive! He actually survived!"

How is that possible? How could anyone survive a fall from over thirty floors up? This waiter is probably full of crap!

The guests thought to themselves as they instinctively glanced out the window, only to freak out when they saw Zeke jump out of the crater unharmed and run off at lightning speed.

What the hell? That guy showed no signs of injury and was running at superhuman speeds! That means he must have superpowers!

Zeke had no idea that the hotel had descended into utter chaos, but he couldn't care less as he continued running toward the Ministry of Sacred.

Judging by Big Back's words, they were ambushed before they arrived at the Ministry of Sacred.

He contacted Sole Wolf and Tyler. "Where are you guys right now?"

"We've just arrived at the Ministry of Sacred," Sole Wolf replied.

"Don't go there. I need you to rush over to the hotel I was staying in. Lacey and Missy have been ambushed!" Zeke ordered.
