Nameless and Tyler stared suspiciously at the entrance to the Carter sect.
“The number of disciples guarding the entrance seems much fewer in number than usual, doesn't it?”
“The inner doors are usually bustling with people as well. How strange.”
“D*mn it,” Zeke burst out angrily. “The Carter sect is making a huge move toward Eurasia! Come, let's take a closer
look.”
The group hurriedly made their way toward the entrance of the Carter sect.
The stone doors that Zeke had broken down on his previous visit had been restored. This time, the stone was much
thicker than the one before.
However, it made little difference to Zeke, who could demolish it just as easily as he did previously if he so wished.
The sentry of the Carters shivered when he caught sight of Zeke.
The abuse and humiliation suffered by the Carter sect in the hands of Zeke remained vivid in their memories and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey were traumatized.
The sentry turned away on the spot with the intention of running for safety when he was rooted in place by Zeke's
voice.
“Did I give you leave? Stay where you are.”
The sentry froze spun around. “Great Marshal, to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?”
“I wish to speak with your patriarch,” Zeke said curtly. “Have him come out to receive me.”
The sentry appeared troubled. “Apologies, Great Marshal. Our patriarch is currently in solitary training; he did not
leave word as to when he would be done. Please come back another time, Great Marshal. I will send word to you
the moment our patriarch reemerges.”
“This is not a negotiation,” Zeke said abruptly. “I will see him today. Get him out here or I will be forced to go in and
drag him out.”
The sentry's face drained of color. “Yes, Great Marshal. I will relay your message at once.”
After locking the stone doors securely, the sentry hurried in to the Carter residence.
Unbeknownst to Zeke, the head of the Carter family had already led the majority of their forces toward Atheville.
The one left behind in his stead was the Archduke, Jaddaeus Carter.
Zeke's demand of meeting with the head of the Carter family was no small matter, necessitating the sentry to
inform Jaddaeus of the arrival of the unwanted guests.
Jaddaeus was in a panic at receiving the news.
Of every other time he could have come, why does it have to be today! Oh, he's causing me so much trouble.
As the head of the Carter family was on his way to Atheville to attempt a coup, the scheme would be revealed the
moment Zeke realized that the head of the Carter family was away.
Knowing Zeke's domineering personality he may very well rob our entire house when there's nobody here today to
guard it.
Jaddaeus picked up his phone to dial Jaime's number and informed him of Zeke's unannounced visit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaime scowled at the complication. As the most capable fighters of the Carter house had been led to Atheville for
the mission, only several Archdukes were left behind. Without a doubt, they would not be able to stop Zeke if the
latter launched an attack.
If Zeke takes this opportunity to rob us while our defenses are low, the Carter family may never recover from this!
Despite the helplessness of the situation, Jaime regained his composure quickly.
Yes, it is a risk. But there is an opportunity as well.
“Stall him,” Jaime ordered. “Keep him there if you can so he doesn't ruin our plans.”
“I'll do that, then.” Jaddaeus nodded glumly as he hung up.
Having received the brunt of Zeke's temper from his prior visit, he was fully aware that to delay Zeke's demands
was a very dangerous thing to do indeed.
Unfortunately, Jaddaeus had received direct orders from the patriarch which could not be refused.
Within several seconds, a hasty plan was put together in his devious mind.
“Bring them in,” Jaddaeus ordered Manny who was standing at attention. “No, wait. Invite them in.”
Manny gazed at Jaddaeus in bewilderment, convinced that he had misheard the latter.
Invite him in? Is this not as good as letting loose a ravenous wolf within our house!
“Mr. Carter,” Manny pleaded. “Please reconsider...”
