Chapter - 3035

Zeke and Alan left.

Frederic cast a suspicious glance as he saw them off before quickly turning back and entering his house.

Melody was perched on the wall, observing Zeke and Alan through binoculars.

After that, Frederic cautiously asked, "Honey, did you notice anything unusual?"

"I noticed some blood stains on Alan's clothes just now. What could that be about?" Melody answered.

Frederic frowned upon hearing that,"Bloodstains? We've had several interactions with him before, and he always had the stench of the buy-back center. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a scrap collector."

"A scrap collector wouldn't have anything to do with blood." Melody continued, "Moreover, I noticed he never showed his right hand just now, and the sleeve where his palm should be seems somewhat empty. Could it be that he lost a hand?"

Gasp!

Frederic drew in a sharp breath and said, "This could explain why he refused to carry the child himself and let others do it instead. Oh no! We might be in danger. Let's contact Mr. Zamora immediately to confirm.”

After saying that, Frederic immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly, and Mr. Zamora's deep and commanding voice came from the other end of the line. "What do you need from me?"

Frederic was about to explain the suspicious points to Mr. Zamora but was caught off guard when a cold dagger was pressed against his and his wife's necks.

Frederic's heart skipped a beat as he quickly looked up.

However, he found a stranger's face grinning at them menacingly.

The person was none other than Sole Wolf.

Sole Wolf flashed a wicked grin, then gestured for them to remain silent. At the same time, he applied a bit more pressure with his hand, even nicking Frederic and Melody's skin slightly.

Both Frederic and Melody's minds raced, overwhelmed with shock.

It's over. We're being held hostage. Now, if we don't cooperate, we have nothing but death waiting for us. What should we do? What should we do?

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zamora urged, “Speak up!”

Sole Wolf grinned at Frederic, then pointed at the phone.

Frederic gulped, then said, “Mr. Zamora, we've already handed the child over to the intermediary, Alan. Everything... Everything went smoothly."

"Okay. That's good. You two can leave now. Come find me,” Mr. Zamora replied.

Frederic answered, "Got it!"

With that, the call ended.

In an instant, Frederic and Melody quickly knelt before Sole Wolf, pleading, "Have mercy on us. Please have mercy on us. W-We've done everything you asked. Please spare our lives."

"I never told you I would spare your lives if you do as I say. However, I can make your deaths a bit quicker," Sole Wolf said.

Frederic and Melody burst into tears after hearing Sole Wolf's words. "Sir, may we ask who you are? We had no grudges in the past and no conflicts recently. There's no need for you to..."

"Get lost! How dare you harm Ms. Williams! A thousand deaths wouldn't be enough to atone for your sins!" Sole Wolf spat in anger.

Frederic and Melody were utterly baffled. "Ms. Williams? What do you mean, Ms. Williams? Is that little girl Ms. Williams? But isn't she just an ordinary child from an ordinary family?"

"Now that things have come to this, I might as well clarify so you won't die in confusion. My master is none other than the Great Marshal, and Missy is the Great Marshal's daughter. So she's Ms. Williams. How dare you insult the daughter of the Great Marshal? That's why even a thousand or ten thousand deaths will never be enough to atone for your sins!" Sole Wolf explained.

What? Frederic and Melody widened their eyes, looking at Sole Wolf in disbelief. "D-Did I hear you correctly? You said... Great Marshal?"

"That's right, Zeke Williams, the Great Marshal. And I am the General North. Sole Wolf. Haha! Young man, do you have any other questions now?" Sole Wolf replied.

Frederic and Melody closed their eyes in despair after hearing that.

They knew that having learned such top-secret information, they were undoubtedly doomed.

However, that did not mean they were willing to sit back and accept their fate.

The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously spat blood at Sole Wolf.
