The tatted man looked at Zeke.

“Oh dear. Is there no way out of this?” Ava whispered in despair.

Zeke sniggered and said to the tattooed man, “Remember that you said you're going to kneel down and call me

grandpa if I could heal the kids? Time to honor your words.”

The tattooed man's face turned steely. “I've belittled you. I can't believe that you know about the worms. Who

exactly are you, and who got you here?” he asked while cueing his partner to find out more about him.

His partner got the message and immediately took out a booklet and flipped through the pages.

“There's nothing whatsoever of this man, neither are there records of new inhabitants for the past three months,”

he announced in a solemn tone after some time.

The two brutes felt threatened instantly. Obviously, this man, who knew about the cursed parasitic worm and killed

it after forcing it out of the child's body, would be a formidable opponent.

Not willing to take any risk, he forwent the idea of capturing Zeke and coldly uttered, “Hmph. I shall report to the

clan leader, and he will decide what to do with you. Now, let's go.”

With a big wave from the tattooed man, he and his partner left.

Zeke had the intention of mowing them down but eventually dismissed the thought.

There was no point in getting rid of them, since they were just lackeys. Worse still, it might set off alarms.

Playing the long game might be a better idea. He thought that it would be better to use the two brutes as bait and

lure in the big fish.

Zeke lightly kicked a pebble onto the back of the head of the tattooed guy's partner.

“Argh!” He let out a shriek and collapsed on the ground.

That enraged the tattooed man. He gritted his teeth and growled, “B*stard! How dare you attack your master from

behind? You must have a death wish! I'll make sure that the clan leader rips you apart!”

“Better make it quick, or else I'll turn this village into ashes, including all the worms!” Zeke gave an icy reply.

The tattooed man quickly got his partner over his shoulders and was ready to leave.

Again, Zeke shot a stone with his foot, and this time, it hit the tattooed man's knee pit, which drove the latter

slamming onto the ground.

“You may leave, but your mate will have to stay as a hostage.”

Fine! If that's what you want!

“Aren't you a gutsy one? But you'll regret one day.” The tattooed man stared at Zeke with bloodshot eyes and

scurried away.

The silent crowd, with raised eyebrows, channeled their focus onto Zeke.

They realized that this man was way more than average.

Not only did he miraculously heal the child, but even their masters also didn't have his record in their book.

It seems that he came here on his own without the masters' knowledge. Who's this guy? Why is he here? What's his

agenda?

Lucas was among the first few who'd regained their senses.

He looked at Zeke fearfully and jittered. “Y-You... Get out of the village!”

He then turned to the villagers. “Dear all, we'd better work together to rid the village of him. He drove our masters

up the wall, and they're definitely coming back for him. Who knows if they will make life harder for us?”

He gave Mateo a knowing look and continued, “Our masters' anger might even make them kill all of us. We need to

take a side, and of course we need to side with our masters. This man has to go.”

“You're right. I agree to kick him out of the village to prevent us from losing our lives.” Mateo went along with

Lucas.

More and more of the villagers chimed in and agreed to their proposition.

Yet, the majority were still contemplating and hadn't chosen their standing.

Zeke was their children's only hope. Kicking him out would mean taking their children's lives.

Zeke gave Lucas a sharp glance. “If I leave, I can guarantee that every single one of you here and your children will

be annihilated. I'm here to save you.”

“Bullsh*t! Who do you think you are to go against our masters? You've overestimated yourself! Let me remind you

that our masters have automatic weapons. You can be the best fighter in the world, but you'll be smashed to

smithereens when you're up against those machines! Those who want to see him gone, come and stand by my

side.” Lucas yawped.
