Giving Cesar a thumbs-up, Sole Wolf complimented sarcastically. “I'm in awe of you. What the heck! Nobody else
has the audacity to disregard the Ammo Needle technique like you!”
In a split second, Cesar's face turned ashen. He asked hesitantly, “Wait a minute! The Ammo Needle technique?
Isn't the Great Marshal the only person who knows about this acupuncture technique? D-Do you mean to say that
you're the Great Marshal?”
“You're right!” Zeke nodded slightly. In a blink of an eye, he had poked the first silver needle into Cesar's skin.
“Argh!” the latter let out a series of blood-curdling yowls.
Zeke snickered. “How's it? Are you willing to spit it out now?”
Unable to endure the excruciating pain, Cesar squealed at the top of his lungs, “Stop it! Please stop it! I'll tell you
everything now!”
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf could not help feeling disappointed. Initially, they presumed Cesar would be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtable to break the record by enduring up to the sixth stage of the pain level.
Evidently, the sorcerer was not as mighty as he seemed. It never came to their mind that he could not even endure
the first stage of the pain level! Pfft! What worthless trash!
Zeke stated grimly, “If you answer my four questions honestly now, I might consider sparing your life!”
Cesar took a deep breath before replying, “Okay! Let me show you something before that. After that, I bet you'll
have a clear insight into everything!”
Seconds later, he whipped out a mini basket. The moment he opened the lid, a fiery-red worm flew out. He opened
his mouth hastily, and the mysterious worm vanished into it.
Right that instant, an alarm bell started ringing in Zeke's mind.
Sole Wolf snapped, “Old bugger, didn't you say you want to show us something? What's that?”
Cesar flashed him an ambiguous smile. “Didn't you see my Heart-Bound Worm just now?”
Sole Wolf snorted. “D*mn it! Why did you show us a worm?”
Cesar uttered resolutely, “Heed my words. You'd better forget about it. I'll never betray my master!”
What? Zeke and the others were flabbergasted.
He knows Zeke's identity as the Great Marshal, isn't he? Now that he can't even endure the first stage of the pain
level, how could he have the gut to get on Zeke's nerves? He must be having a death wish! Sole Wolf snorted
inwardly.
Without a second thought, he stretched out his palm to slap him. “Hmph! You're asking for it! Zeke, it's pointless to
let go of him. Let's throw him into the sea to feed the shark!”
Flustered, Zeke sniggered. “It seems we've underestimated him. Since he gives no hoots to the first stage of the
pain level, I'll let him go through the sixth stage right away!”
Next, he whipped out the Ammo Needle and was about to strike at Cesar again.
The latter shrieked apprehensively, “Stop that! You can't hurt me. Otherwise, you'll be sorry for that!”
“Haha! Give me a reason why I can't hurt you!” Zeke mocked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCesar replied matter-of-factly, “If you hurt me, Dawn Castaneda will be injured too. In other words, If I'm dead,
she'll meet her end too!”
Zeke sneered, “Do you think that I'm an idiot? How's it possible that Dawn will share the same fate as you!”
Cesar retorted, “If you don't believe, you can check with her if she was in pain just now. The worm I swallowed just
now is one of the Heart-Bound Worms that normally appear in pairs. As for the other one pairing with it, I'd let her
swallow it earlier. Thus, Dawn Castaneda and my lives are tied to each other now. If I'm injured, she'll sustain the
same pain as me. If I'm dead, she will meet her end on the spot too!”
D*mn it! Zeke's heart thumped. At the sight of Cesar puffing out his chest triumphantly, his gut instinct told him the
latter was telling the truth.
Oh my! What am I supposed to do now? I mustn't put Dawnie in deep water just because I intend to force him into
spitting the information out! Wearing a look of sheer grimness, he whipped out his phone and gave Dawn a call at
once.
She answered the call within seconds.
“Zeke, good morning. Have you taken your breakfast?” Dawn's voice sounded from the other end of the line.
Somehow, Zeke could sense a hint of gloominess in it.
