Suddenly, Zeke stood up but his lower torso remained on the bed.
Zeke smirked, âAre you surprised? Itâs time for you to witness a miracle.â
He turned over the blanket that was covering his body and revealed the body of a mannequin.
All this while, Zeke had only revealed his head. He hid his body underneath the bed.
On top of that, he looked pretty normal and did not look sick at all!
Damn it! The Great Marshal is well-prepared!
Does this mean he knew this would happen? Has he found out that I have betrayed the Cygnus Room and is sent to assassinate him?
He abruptly remembered how he suspected someone was monitoring him when he was at the Bloodworth Syndicateâs headquarters. He also recalled the short circuit incident there.
Did the Great Marshal infiltrated the Bloodsworth Syndicateâs headquarters?
It was very likely.
Zeke sighed continuously, âThe Cygnus Room was the most advanced technological research center in Eurasia, yet its second-in-command chose to support the enemy. Weâve indeed chosen the wrong person for the job.â
Zoda Wood was utterly devastated. The best solution he could think of was to end his own life.
The Great Marshal would surely torture him and make his life a living hell.
He ran and tried to smash his head into a wall without any warning.
Zeke shouted, âHave you ever thought of your newborn twins?â
With that, Zoda stopped running. He knew the Great Marshal was threatening him with his sons.
He dropped to his knees before Zeke. âItâs my fault. Itâs all my fault. Please be kind and punish me. Iâm willing to pay the price for my crimes, but please leave my family alone.â
Zeke exclaimed, âWhat youâve committed was a grave crime, and your family deserves to be punished too! If you want me to pardon your family, tell me everything you know about the Bloodsworth Syndicate.â
Zoda hesitated, he clenched his teeth and agreed, âAlright, Iâll cooperate with you.â
Zeke asked, âWhat did the Bloodsworth Syndicate offer you in exchange for your allegiance and my assassination?â
Zoda answered, âTheyâll give me the Sierra island and promise me that I can build a country there.â
What?
Zeke knitted his brows.
The Bloodsworth Syndicate owns the Sierra island and can simply offer it to someone as a reward?
It looks like their influence is expanding fast. Their headquarters under the Golden Voda Lake could be one of their many bases. Their actual headquarters might be ten or even a hundred times larger than that.
Zeke continued, âWhy did you make a mold of my face earlier?â
He answered, âBloodworth is a master of disguise. Once youâre dead, he wants to take over your position as the Great Marshal to run the Cygnus Room.â
âHe wants to take over the Cygnus Room?â Zeke asked, âBut why? Is he planning to steal all the research data?â
âNo.â Zoda shook his head, âTheyâre eyeing on the DNA sequence of Eurasian. They wanted to steal this information, find out the flaws in the genes, and design a virus that can cause a pandemic in the region.â
What?
Zeke gritted his teeth, and his eyes reddened.
If Bloodsworthâs plan was successful, billions of Eurasians would die, and this could destroy the entire nation!
Bloodsworthâs plan is a crime against humanity!
As for Zoda, he was willing to sacrifice his nation to fulfill his self-interest even though he was born and raised a Eurasian.
His ambition turned him into a more horrible person than Bloodsworth.
Zeke could not take it anymore and kicked him to the ground.
Zoda was shocked to death. He knew Zeke was capable of killing all his other family members out of anger.
He immediately kneeled before him, âGreat Marshal, please give me a chance to redeem myself. I can help you destroy Bloodsworth. I donât dare to ask for your forgiveness, but please spare my family.â
