Huh?
Zeke asked curiously, “What grudges are there between both of you? Tell us.”
When he mentioned that, fury raged in Apollyon's eyes. “Mr. Williams, I might seem like a joke to you, but Calix's
current wife is actually mine! He snatched her away from my side forcefully back then. I yearn to take revenge, but
since I'm no match for him, I have no choice but to endure this humiliation.”
Sighing, he continued, “I can't even be considered a man.”
Zeke nodded in agreement. “Indeed, you can't be considered a man.”
Apollyon was at a loss for words.
That's too much, Mr. Williams. That's simply too much! Instead of taking pity on me or consoling me, you mock me.
That's quite a hurtful blow to my pride, don't you think?
Zeke suddenly asked, “Apollyon, do you want to take revenge personally?”
Gritting his teeth, Apollyon replied, “Of course I want to! I even think about it in my dreams.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke continued, “Very well. Take my place in fighting Calix then.”
Apollyon asked, “What do you mean, Mr. Williams?”
“I'm giving you a chance to take revenge. Isn't it obvious?”
“Mr. Williams, you know very well that I'm not Calix's opponent. If I enter the battlefield, I'll be beaten to death by
him.”
Zeke assured him, “That doesn't matter. I'll advise you accordingly. If you still manage to be defeated by Calix, even
with my help, it'll just prove that you're so useless to the point you're beyond hope.”
I...
Everyone did not know how to respond to that.
Isn't Mr. Williams over-exaggerating? He probably can't even defeat Calix. However, he's planning on guiding a
subordinate to win Calix on his behalf... How much self-confidence does he have to even utter such words?
Minerva assumed that Zeke wanted his subordinate to fight on his behalf because he was too scared.
Giving Apollyon a chance to take revenge was merely a ruse.
That doesn't matter. I'd rather Apollyon die than let Zeke get injured.
Zeke ordered, “To the ten Decani, come to my room tonight. I'll guide you.”
“But...”
The moment Apollyon spoke, Zeke interrupted him, “This is a command! Those who refuse to obey may leave
immediately.”
Apollyon had no choice but to hold his tongue.
After Zeke left, the ten Decani started discussing among themselves.
“Why do you think Mr. Williams is doing this?”
“Is he really thinking on behalf of Apollyon and giving him a chance to take revenge? I don't believe it!”
“I think that he's gathering us together to discuss a strategy.”
“Yeah! I'd rather believe that explanation.”
“Well, we'll naturally find out after meeting Mr. Williams tonight.”
“If Zeke insists on sending Apollyon to his death, I'll be the first to object.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo be honest, although the ten Decani were subservient to Zeke, they were still quite unconvinced about him
leading them.
They still treated Apollyon as their main leader and would approach him whenever something happened.
If Zeke forced Apollyon to die on his behalf, they would certainly oppose the decision.
Within the blink of an eye, night arrived.
The ten Decani walked toward Zeke's room nervously.
“What do you think Mr. Williams' going to do?”
“After pondering about it during the day, I think that Mr. Williams wants us to kill Calix secretly tonight.”
“Even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat Calix. After all, he's an Archduke!”
“Do you think it's possible Mr. Williams wants us to flee with him?”
“That doesn't make sense. We don't even know where we are, so it's impossible for us to escape.”
Unknowingly, they had already arrived at Zeke's door.
Having shifted their base of operations to Apollyon's headquarters, Zeke was now living in the luxurious stone house
where Apollyon used to live.
After entering, the men bowed slightly toward Zeke. “We're here, Mr. Williams.”
