Chapter - 2601

"Are you speaking the truth?" Johan asked suspiciously.

Hawkeye nodded. "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Williams when you see him later."

"Alright, you all can follow," Johan replied, nodding pensively.

Of course, Johan knew the others were Zeke's subordinates, but to prevent Hawkeye from getting suspicious, he had to deny the others' entry first.

Zeke, the Great Marshal, was the mastermind behind the conception of the acclaimed Cygnus Room. Being a member of Cygnus Room, Sole Wolf was naturally the former's subordinate.

On the way to find Zeke, Johan purposely slowed down a few times to speak to Sole Wolf, but Sole Wolf stopped Johan with his eyes.

After all, it was inappropriate to chat in such a place. They could speak about their circumstances once they met Zeke.

Not long after, Johan brought them to Zeke's territory.

Looking at the sea of people, Hawkeye was dumbstruck. The number of people present was almost twice as many as the people Zeke brought from Contubernium's district. Where did the extra numbers come from? Don't tell me Zeke defeated another Centuria and took over the troops. Is he really that powerful to defeat two Centurions?

Zeke had already been waiting outside the door for a long time. Upon seeing Sole Wolf and the others, he stood up.

Sole Wolf and the others immediately went over, and their first reaction was to kneel and bow.

However, Zeke stopped them in his mind: Don't kneel. It's not safe here, lest I reveal my identity.

Sole Wolf: Understood!

"Apollyon, take Hawkeye to eat something. Then show him around so that he can get used to the environment," Zeke said.

"Understood!"

With that, Apollyon left with Hawkeye.
Zeke's purpose was to let Apollyon keep an eye on Hawkeye, lest the latter escape.

Zeke had promised Yannick and Yoshua to hand Hawkeye over to be dealt with, so he couldn't break his promise.

Apollyon understood Zeke's intention and left with Hawkeye.

"Come with me," Zeke said to Sole Wolf and the rest.

Upon entering the room, Sole Wolf carefully closed the door before kneeling to Zeke without hesitation.

"Greetings to you, Great Marshal!"

"You may rise."

Sole Wolf and the others got up, but Johan remained on his knees.

This time, he was kneeling to Sole Wolf, not Zeke.

"Greetings to you, General North!"

Huh?

Killer Wolf, Ares, and the rest were all surprised and confused. They wondered why the Chieftain of Theos Island would kneel to Sole Wolf.

They had never heard of or seen Theos Island before, so when did Sole Wolf discover this island and even know someone on this island?

"Johan, you may rise," Sole Wolf said calmly.

"Thank you, General North!" Johan got up carefully.

The rest asked in bemusement, "Sole Wolf, you know him? You have long discovered Theos Island and even recognize someone on this island?"

Sole Wolf let out a sigh. "It's a long story."

He then told them how he had sent Johan to investigate a mysterious force but soon lost contact with Johan.

Everyone finally understood everything.

Looking at Johan, Sole Wolf said, "Johan, tell us, why did you not contact Cygnus Room for so many years?"

"General, I have always wanted to contact and return to Cygnus Room, but Theos Island is too

mysterious. I've been searching for an exit but to no avail. Only recently did I find a way to leave the island, but I'm too old and weak to go through that taxing process. Thankfully, the Great Marshal came, and he summoned you all here. God must be taking pity on me and fulfilling my long-awaited dream before I die."

Sole Wolf nodded. "I see. Thank you for your hard work all these years, Johan. You will return with me to Cygnus Room. I will reveal the truth regarding your disappearance."
