Zeke agreed, “Okay, we agree. There isn't anyone with the surname Williams here.”
Suddenly, Crippled Williams shouted in rage, “Liar! All of you are liars! Get lost! I'm not doing business with you. I
never do business with liars.”
Crippled Williams turned around and left.
Zeke and the rest were confused as they couldn't understand the reason for Crippled Williams' sudden rage.
To them, it was just a white lie.
Zeke realized perhaps Crippled Williams had encountered liars before, and it left a traumatic scar on his psyche.
That could be the reason for his hatred for liars.
Taking in a deep breath, Zeke stopped Crippled Williams. “We didn't lie to you.”
Crippled Williams stared Zeke dead in his eyes and said, “Do you take me for an idiot? Do you think I can't read
your name? You won't die peacefully! A bunch of stupid liars!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCrippled Williams' extreme reaction piqued Zeke's curiosity. “You know someone's name just by looking at them?”
Crippled Williams huffed, “I can't, but I recognize Williamses. If I'm not wrong, you're a Williams.”
Zeke and the others were baffled. What skill is this? How did he discern those with Williams as their last name?
Nevertheless, Zeke was not buying it. He didn't believe Crippled Williams could distinguish it with his eyes alone.
I'm sure he has some other ways. Now, things are getting interesting.
Zeke was getting more interested in Crippled Williams' skill.
Zeke conceded, “All right. I admit I'm a Williams. I won't go with you, so just bringing them will do.”
Crippled Williams still shook his head. “That won't do. You might stealthily follow us.”
In truth, Zeke was planning on doing just that.
Zeke asked, “How about I promise I won't follow you? How do I get you to trust me?”
After contemplating briefly, Crippled Williams finally uttered, “Follow me.”
“To where?” Sole Wolf asked cautiously.
Crippled Williams answered, “Just follow me and stop asking so many questions.”
Sole Wolf was still worried, but Zeke shot him a glance, getting Sole Wolf to stop asking.
Zeke followed Crippled Williams out of his house to the cemetery at the east end of the village.
Zeke was about to ask Crippled Williams the reason for bringing him there when the latter suddenly dropped to his
knees in front of one of the tombstones.
“I have come to see you, my brother. I was in a rush this time, so I came empty-handed. Please forgive me. I need
your help to monitor him. If he takes a step away from your tombstone, inform me immediately. Don't worry. They
gave me a lot of money. I'll pay someone to clean your tombstone with it, but you have to watch this guy first.”
Crippled Williams shot to his feet after his speech.
With a puzzled look, Zeke questioned, “This is the grave of your twin brother who died on the Golden Sands
Mountain?”
Crippled Williams nodded. “That's right.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke said, “Didn't your brother's corpse come back to life before fleeing to the Golden Sands Mountain, and it
hasn't returned till this day? Does this grave have a body?”
Crippled Williams glared at Zeke with viciousness in his eyes. “Shut up! His corpse might not be here, but his soul is.
It will be here for all eternity. His soul will be watching you. If you dare to make a move, he'll inform me at the very
first moment. I won't bring you to Golden Sands Mountain even if you beg me after. It'll be best if you stay here
obediently and don't leave this spot.”
Zeke nodded. “Don't worry. I won't walk around.”
Crippled Williams left a few more orders before whirling around and leaving.
Once Crippled Williams was out of sight, Zeke began to study the tombstone.
Meanwhile, Crippled Williams reached his home shortly after. “Okay. We can go now.”
Sole Wolf asked curiously, “Where's Zeke? Where have you taken him to?”
Crippled Williams said, “Want to know? I can send you there, and you can stay there with him. You won't be
following us to the Golden Sands Mountain then.”
