Willow nodded with a smirk. “That's the Great Marshal for you! Always so observant and sharp-witted! You're right.
The real reason I'm here is that Netherworld has tasked me to bestow a title upon you.”
Zeke's ears perked up immediately. “Oh? What title would that be?”
“The Ninth Commander of the Ten Commandments!”
“Ten Commandments?” he asked curiously. “What benefits do I get for becoming the Ninth Commander?”
“The benefits are beyond your wildest imagination! The Ten Commandments are a powerful entity, second only to
the inspector of Netherworld, but easily stronger than your position as Great Marshal!”
There was a glint in Willow's eyes as she added, “If you join the Ten Commandments, all the resources in
Netherworld will be at your disposal.”
Zeke pretended to look puzzled as he queried, “But Netherworld operates in the darkest corners of Eurasia. What
resources can it possibly have?”
“Such naivety!” Willow exclaimed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“The greatest treasures of Eurasia are tucked away in the darkest, most obscure corners. What Eurasia has
uncovered thus far is hardly a tenth of it. And as for the rest, it belongs to Netherworld! Can you imagine just how
much wealth and resources we have?”
Zeke could not deny that the temptation was hard to resist.
He also finally understood why Netherworld had grown so much in power over the years.
With them in possession of ninety percent of Eurasia's resources, how could they not?
After mulling over it, Zeke asked, “If I agree to become the Ninth Commander, will you be able to treat my wife,
Lacey Hinton?”
Willow smiled. “No problem. That'd be a piece of cake.”
“Good. I agree to it then.”
Unsurprisingly, Zeke's announcement stunned everyone present.
Why would Great Marshal surrender without a fight and join the enemy? Is he even still the Great Marshal that we
all know and respect?
After their initial shock settled, however, it finally hit them.
Great Marshal must have done so to pinpoint the location of Netherworld's headquarters so that he could wipe
them all out. There's no way he would ever betray Eurasia.
Even Willow was a little suspicious at how readily Zeke agreed to it. “Do you really want to be the Ninth Commander
of Netherworld?”
“As long as I can get my wife cured and my daughter back, I'm willing to do anything.”
“Very well then,” she replied.
“I'll report back to the Tenth Commander as soon as possible. He'll personally escort you to Netherworld to confirm
your title. I'm only an envoy working for the Tenth Commander and don't have the right to know the location of our
headquarters. Thus, I won't be able to take you there myself.”
After some deliberation, Zeke nodded his approval, and Willow went on her way.
The moment she was gone, Zeke turned his attention toward Ares and the others. “I need all of you to stay and
guard the Spirit Stone mine. I'll be right back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone quickly figured that Zeke planned on tailing Willow to Netherworld and thus nodded without hesitation.
“Zeke, be careful,” Sole Wolf urged. “Do you need us to help you in secret?”
“Don't worry. Even if I don't manage to destroy Netherworld, I'd still be able to make it out alive.”
With that, Zeke rushed off and followed Willow from a distance, not the least worried that she would notice his
presence when even an Ultimate Class warrior could not do so.
To his surprise, when they came to a valley, Willow suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around.
“Show yourself, Zeke Williams. I know you've been following me this whole time.”
Zeke's heart skipped a beat as racing thoughts filled his mind.
No, I'm sure Willow isn't skilled enough to sense my presence. She's most probably lying and testing the water.
Zeke remained in the shadows, determined not to show himself.
After a while, Willow continued, “I know what's on your mind—you're so sure I won't be able to sense your presence
because you're an Ultimate Class warrior. However, you forgot how well I understand you. I know you'll never
submit to Netherworld.”
A smile crept across her face. “Agreeing to be the Ninth Commander is only a temporary expedient strategy of
yours. Your main motive is to find out the location of Netherworld through me.”
