Consequently, King's body became even more translucent. His consciousness, too, had been significantly reduced
by half.
He was seriously injured and on the verge of vanishing into thin air.
King was completely dejected, knowing very well that it would only take Fortuna one more strike to finish him off.
What should I do now?
Zeke scrutinized King and realized that his life force was not hurt at all despite having a more transparent figure
and largely depleted energy level.
Immediately, Zeke instructed, “Fortuna, attack!”
However, Fortuna hid in Zeke's chest and refused to act as per his command. No matter how many times he called
upon Fortuna, the latter did not respond accordingly.
What the h*ll!
Zeke's expression darkened.
Dang it, what's wrong with Fortuna? Why is he taking a break now after only one strike? Can he do something about
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis attitude?
Since Zeke had no way of convincing Fortuna to act once more, he had to take things into his own hands.
The feeling of anguish left King when he saw Fortuna become idle. Delighted and hopeful, a flame of hope rose
from within.
In the absence of Fortuna, I can absolutely escape from Zeke's attack since my life force is preserved.
Thus, he went ahead and lit his life force in order to increase his speed and run away much faster.
Zeke was already feeling quite exhausted. Now that King was turbocharged, the former had lost him completely.
Zeke could have quickened his pace to catch up with King if he were to utilize his life force too.
However, he did not see the need to do so.
His main objective was not to destroy King, but to identify a way to tackle Kush Clan.
Kush Clan was merely a state of consciousness that could not be harmed by energy and physical assaults.
Fortuna was the only magic that could injure Kush Clan severely.
I'm the only one who possesses Fortuna. How else can others utilize Fortuna in their attacks?
Zeke had much to research further.
When Zeke returned, Teddy, who was on duty, was struggling to drag Sheldon out of the fire.
He nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Zeke.
“Oh gosh! How... how are you still alive?”
When Sheldon set the fire, Teddy was hiding far away. So, he did not know what happened and assumed that Zeke
was burned to death.
Now that Zeke appeared unscathed right before him, he was in total shock.
Zeke answered coldly, “How can I die so fast before putting a judgment on you?”
“How brazen! A prisoner like you have no right to judge me!” bellowed Teddy.
“You abused your authority to collude with the underworld, accepted briberies, and neglected the needs of the
people under your care. Only death can atone for your sins,” declared Zeke.
“I...” Teddy was rendered speechless.
Within seconds, a thought surfaced in his mind. “Get... Get on your knees with your hands behind your head,” Teddy
yelled.
“You've landed yourself in deeper trouble by escaping prison!” he added.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Haha! Diverting the blame to accuse me instead, huh?” Zeke snapped.
Teddy continued, “I've informed the head of the police station. Bertram and his men will be here real soon. There's
no way you can break free this time. I advise you to surrender now and lie down on the floor. Don't move a muscle,
or I will shoot you.”
Teddy was dropping hints to urge Zeke to escape before the police arrived.
It was not his true intention to let Zeke go. He was trying to use that as bait to tempt Zeke, so that he could pull the
trigger when Zeke ran.
Yet, Zeke had no plans of escaping.
Disappointed, Teddy grew anxious. He had turned the law enforcement recorder on, with the hope of capturing
evidence of Zeke's prison break to justify his reason for shooting him.
Placidly, Zeke sat down. “Okay, I shall wait for Bertram. I might as well deal with all of you rotten apples once and
for all.”
“Shut up! Who are you referring to as bad apples? I'm commanding you to place your hands behind your head and
get down on the floor. Otherwise, I'll shoot.”
Teddy tried to anger Zeke with his words.
