That was why she insisted on following Zeke.
Yannick and Yoshua stared at Zeke, waiting to hear his thoughts.
With a cold voice, Zeke uttered, “Fine, I'll give you a chance. Since we just got here, we still aren't that familiar with
the place. We can use your help to understand this island better.”
The pregnant woman thanked them excitedly, “Thank you for taking me in, Master! I'll do my best to serve you all.”
That was the best news she heard after arriving at Theos Island.
Zeke asked, “What's your name?”
“My name's Minerva Fernandez, but you can call me Minny.”
“How did you come to Theos Island, Minerva?”
With a sigh, Minerva explained, “It's a long story. Back when I was still in Eurasia, I was part of an ordinary family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy parents are retired employees of state-owned enterprises, and I run a supermarket. Life was good. However,
one day, my mom got cancer. I spent all my life savings and went looking for famous doctors inside and outside of
the country, but no one could save her. Just as I was about to lose hope, Mr. Hawk appeared. He said he could treat
my mother's cancer on one condition. He wants me to become a member of Theos Sect with him. At the time, I
was on the verge of going insane for trying to save my mother. As long as he could treat her condition, I was willing
to do anything. So, without much consideration, I agreed. He really did save my mother afterward, which made me
trust him completely. When he said he was taking me to meet Theos, I agreed and followed him to Theos Island. At
first, I thought this place was heaven. But I quickly realized this place is worse than hell!”
Yannick and Yoshua exchanged an emotional glance, as their experience was similar to hers.
The others probably also got tricked into coming to the island the same way.
Zeke's original plan was to tour Theos Island to study the geography and layout of the buildings in hopes of locating
where Lacey was kept.
However, soon after they started walking around, Minerva stopped Zeke from stepping forward. “We can't go any
further, Mr. Williams.”
“Why?” he asked curiously.
“Ahead is the Centuria's territory. Low-ranking members of Contubernium like us don't have the right to enter.”
“Centuria? So it's a team led by the Centurion?”
Minerva nodded.
“What'll happen if we go in?”
“Theos Island is split into four territories. There's Contubernium's territory, Centuria's territory, Legion's territory,
and Camp North and Camp South's territory. Each territory has a leader guarding it. Unless someone has reached a
certain level of achievement, they won't be allowed entry to the next area. Otherwise, the leader will attack those

“Do you know how powerful each territory's leader is?”
“No. However, I do know that they are very skilled. In the past, someone very powerful attempted to breach a high-
level area, but he was killed by the leader there in a single move. If you're wondering how powerful he was, he
could send a person flying away with just a wave of his hand without even getting close.”
Based on that description alone, Zeke was able to determine the “very powerful person” that Minerva mentioned
was likely more powerful than an Archduke.
That was because only those who achieved the level of Archduke could unleash energy.
Truth be told, Zeke thought that with his capability, it wouldn't be that difficult for him to breach Camp South.
However, he still knew very little about Theos Island. If he acted recklessly, he would alert his enemies.
That would be unhelpful to his goal of rescuing Lacey.
For the sake of Lacey, he had to be patient.
“Why are you hanging out with them, Minerva?” A sharp, loud voice was suddenly heard from behind them.
