Chapter - 816

She had lost her husband early on and had lived with her son. Now that her son was about to die, she saw no point in living as well.

She halted them, “Stop! Stop now!”

Zeke kicked a pebble and sent it flying.

It struck her knee with the velocity of a bullet.

Snap!

His mother’s kneecap was broken. She collapsed onto the floor with a devastating scream.

At this point, Xander was almost completely buried underground with only his face above the soil.

He continued squealing in fear, “Zeke, please let me off! I can’t die! I still have to participate in your buddy’s reburial. Please, give me a chance to participate in the reburial!”

The crowd burst into laughter. Zeke has successfully forced Xander to beg to carry the coffin for his buddy’s reburial.

Zeke was lost in thought. “That’s right. If you’re dead, it makes it difficult for three people to carry a casket.”

Sole Wolf laughed bitterly, “What are you thinking, boss? This guy’s legs are maimed. Even if we don’t kill him today, he won’t be able to carry the coffin during the reburial.”

Zeke concluded, “You’re right. Bury him!”

Sole Wolf buried him alive despite him continuously begging for mercy.

His screams were gradually drowned out as soil slowly covered Xander’s body.

“No!” Xander’s mother screamed.

My only son is dead. I’m better off dead as well!

Zeke glanced at Xander’s mother and spat, “Alright, you’ll be the representative of the Moore family for the reburial. You might have lost one leg, but I guess you can hop.”

Zeke picked Lacey up and left after he spoke.

Long after he left, the venue was filled with deafening silence, with only the howling of the chilly wind lamenting this tragedy.

It was one thing for Zeke to defile the corpse and unearth it, but he had even buried Xander alive!

That was the work of a demon. Perhaps even a demon would find him too cruel!

Looks like there will be a storm brewing in Atheville.

Zeke rushed Lacey to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. He only left after ensuring that Lacey’s life was no longer in danger.

Since he was after the four major households in Atheville, they would surely try to retaliate. If he acted close to Lacey, they would set their sights on her. Hence, for her safety, it would be better for him to distance himself from her for the time being.

Before leaving the place, Zeke gave a tip of ten thousand to each of the hospital staffs, asking them to keep quiet about his identity.

With such a large sum given, the hospital staff naturally agreed.

Shortly after Zeke left, Lacey regained consciousness.

After three or four seconds of confusion, she finally recalled that she had been kidnapped.

She panicked as she got up and huddled in a corner of the bed. She hurriedly demanded, “Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?”

The doctors and nurses assured her, “Relax, Ms. Hinton. This is a hospital. You’re safe here.”

After confirming that it was indeed a hospital, Lacey heaved a sigh of relief.

“Why am I in a hospital? Who saved me?”

The doctor replied, “An anonymous hero sent you here, footed your hospital bills, and left.”

“Anonymous hero?” Lacey asked curiously. “Who is he? Did he leave any means of contacting him? I need to thank him personally and return him the hospital bills.”

They shook their heads in unison. “I’m sorry, Ms. Hinton. He did not leave any contact information behind.”

“Oh,” Lacey said dejectedly. “You don’t even have a photograph?”

The hospital staff shook their heads once more.

Oh well.

Lacey laughed bitterly. It looks like I owe someone I don’t even know a favor.
