“Then why did you lead us out of the cave instead of keeping us there until your master comes for us?” Sole Wolf
inquired curiously.
“The standard procedure is to bring the victims to the cave and let the worms have at them before taking them
down the mountain to let them metamorphose for seven days. When the process is complete, they'll automatically
return to the cave, where Master will go to take them away,” informed Crippled Williams. “Oh right, you guys can
return to the cave after seven days. Pretend as if you've metamorphosed, then wait for him to show up. With that,
you'll be able to meet him.”
“What do you mean 'metamorphose'? What is that?” asked Zeke.
Crippled Williams shook his head in response. “I'm not sure either. That's just what Master told me. I've asked him
about it, but he just told me to do as he says and stop asking questions.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke then turned to Sole Wolf and the others. “What do you guys think? Should we storm Golden Sands Mountain
now or wait for the mastermind to reveal himself in seven days?”
“Zeke, we're fine with either option, but more importantly, can Killer Wolf survive that long?” Sole Wolf replied
cautiously.
Ares hurriedly chimed in, “Great Marshal, I don't think we should be too hasty. We don't even know where or who
our enemy is. If we strike now, not only will we risk putting Killer Wolf in danger, but we might also alert our enemy
to our presence.”
“We're at your order, Mr. Williams!” voiced Alfred.
“I agree with Ares. Besides, we haven't confirmed if this Ghoul Cliff of Golden Sands Mountain is the same as the
one Killer Wolf mentioned. We don't know for sure that he's here,” uttered Tyler.
Sole Wolf then quickly pulled out a picture of Killer Wolf and showed it to Crippled Williams. “Have you seen this
person before?”
“His clothes do seem familiar,” answered Crippled Williams with furrowed eyebrows after glancing at the photo.
“Think carefully. Where have you seen him?” Zeke hastened to press for an answer.
As General Cosmopolis, Killer Wolf had a unique uniform, which no more than five people in the world owned.
Since it was impossible for the others to be there, it could only mean that Killer Wolf once appeared somewhere
around the region for Crippled Williams to see him.
After giving it some thought, Crippled Williams said, “Two days ago, I saw someone in the same outfit as him rushed
down from Golden Sands Mountain. I was too far to see the person's face, so I can't tell you if it was him. They
seem to have similar figures. Oh, one more thing. I think he was injured; there was blood dripping from his body.”
“Killer Wolf probably got injured by Cesar. That's why he escaped from the mountain. Did your master chase after
the injured man?” questioned Zeke immediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrippled Williams shook his head. “I didn't see anybody else besides him. However, my master did contact me
suddenly and told me he was hurt. He ordered me to get some people to treat him, so I was in a hurry to send you
guys over.”
“Cesar and Killer Wolf must've gotten injured fighting each other. That explains how Killer Wolf managed to get
away and why Cesar didn't give chase. If Killer Wolf escaped Golden Sands Mountain, that means he's safe for now.
We don't have to rush things,” stated Zeke with confidence.
Sole Wolf, who preferred a decisive strike before, breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Zeke. “Since Killer
Wolf's safe, we can take our time.”
“Yes. We'll wait seven days and have Crippled Williams' master come to us,” Zeke responded.
With that, the group followed Crippled Williams home.
Crippled Williams' abode was dirty and messy like a pigsty. The smell emanating from the place was almost
unbearable, making it impossible for anyone to stay there.
Ares, who had been leading a life of luxury, was the first to throw in the towel.
