He can die however he wants to as long as he gives me money. After all, I've tried my best to stop him.
With that, the restaurant owner told Sole Wolf the location of Crippled Williams' house.
As soon as Sole Wolf got the answer, he walked out of the kitchen and gazed at Zeke.
Zeke stood up and left with everyone else.
Later, Sole Wolf asked, “Zeke, did you hear the conversation between the restaurant owner and me?”
Zeke nodded and said, “Yes, I heard it.”
Sole Wolf added, “I suspect something is amiss about Crippled Williams!”
Zeke agreed, “Yes, I'm thinking the same too. Let's meet Crippled Williams!”
“Okay!”
With the directions given by the restaurant owner, they soon found Crippled Williams' house.
Although the village was remote, most houses were made of tiles and bricks.
Judging from his mud brick house, they presumed that Crippled Williams was poverty-stricken.
The door was half the size of those of other houses. As they looked through the gap, they saw that the messy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcourtyard was full of grass and rubbish.
Moreover, the stink that came from the toilet almost suffocated them.
As they walked into the dilapidated courtyard, Sole Wolf shouted, “Crippled Williams, are you home?”
However, a silence ensued.
It was the same even after Sole Wolf shouted again.
With his eyebrows furrowed, Sole Wolf came up to the door and knocked on it. “Crippled Williams, are you home?
Please come out. You have guests.”
Creak!
When someone opened the broken door, the stench instantly filled the air, and many blowflies flew out of the
house.
Cough, cough, cough!
Even Sole Wolf, who used to hide among corpses for a few days, couldn't stand the stench.
Moments later, a “beggar” came out from the house.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was even more unkempt than a beggar.
The man was in tattered clothes and looked disheveled. Also, parts of his body that weren't covered by clothes
were covered by dirt instead.
There were wrinkles all over his face, and his eyes were soulless.
He said, revealing his yellow and dirty teeth, “Why did you scream and disturb my sleep? D*mn it!”
Zeke frowned and asked, “Are you Crippled Williams?”
He nodded and replied, “Yes, I'm Crippled Williams. Why were you looking for me?”
Zeke quickly explained, “I heard that among all the villagers, you're the only one who can go up Golden Sands
Mountain.”
Crippled Williams kept his head up high upon hearing that. After all, it was the only thing he could be proud of.
“Yes. I'm the only person familiar with the trail leading to Golden Sands Mountain. The trail is very secluded, so
much so that even a god can't discover it!”
Zeke said, “Great. In that case, we'd like to invite you to lead us to Golden Sands Mountain.”
Much to his surprise, Crippled Williams grew nervous upon hearing it and turned around to head back to his room.
Sole Wolf quickly stopped him and said, “Stay right there. What are you doing?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrippled Williams glared at Sole Wolf and said, “Get out of my way.”
“You motherf*cker...”
Just as Sole Wolf was about to burst with rage, Zeke gazed at him, signaling for him to stand down.
Then, Zeke asked, “What do you mean? Are you not willing to bring us to Golden Sands Mountain?”
Crippled Williams replied mockingly, “You'll only have a ten-percent chance to survive for going up Golden Sands
Mountain. I have a fifty-fifty chance. In other words, you want me to lead you to your death. Do you think I'll do
this? Even though I look like a living dead, I still wish to stay alive and don't want to end my life so soon.”
After Crippled Williams finished, Sole Wolf said, “I'm sorry, but you have no choice but to go with us.”
Unperturbed, Crippled Williams said defiantly, “I'm sorry, too. I'm afraid I can't do as you wish. There is nothing you
can do about it. I would rather be killed by you guys than face the things on Golden Sands Mountain.”
Instinctively, Zeke asked, “What are the things on Golden Sands Mountain? Why are you so scared?”
As soon as Zeke brought it up, Crippled Williams wrapped his arms around his head and squatted down.
Then, he murmured in a trembling voice, “I don't know. I have no idea. Please don't ask me. I won't tell anyone.
Please don't punish me. I beg you not to punish me...”
