Chapter 1693

Since Sole Wolf and Tiger Lord were warriors of Ultimate Class, Zeke had nothing to fear. At the very least, they could easily flee if they weren't a match for their foe.

Tyler asked, “Great Marshall, have you identified this mysterious foe of ours?”

“Yeah! Have any of you heard of the Shadow League?”

As the rest nodded in return, Tyler commented, “If I'm not wrong, the Shadow League is the leading one amongst the Eight Major Leagues. They're well known for manipulating shadows, and through that, controlling people.”

“Indeed! That's precisely the reason I think a member of Shadow League infiltrated here!”

“It's been a few decades since the last time they showed up in front of others. Why are they coming after us when we've never encountered any of them?”

“It's merely one of my speculations, but I think the Shadow League has sworn allegiance to Netherworld. The people from Netherworld needed to ensure their secrets were safe and would stand to gain the most benefit from Jackson's death. There was a hint of strong negative energy when I returned a short while ago too.”

As the rest nodded once they heard him, he let out a long sigh and added, “They must've come prepared. In order to divert our attention, they sent Joseph to make a scene. Once we were drawn away, they dispatched someone from Shadow League to kill Jackson!”

Killer Wolf felt a strong urge to take out the officials of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs. Whipping out his weapon, he yelled, “I always knew the Ministry of Celestial Affairs was up to no good! I can't believe they're teaming up with members of Netherworld! Let's go back and take them out at once!”

Killer Wolf, Tyler, and the rest of them were back to full strength again after spending the night recovering.

On top of that, they seemed to be stronger after basking themselves with the spiritual energy over the night.

With that being said, their improvement was relatively trivial as compared to Sole Wolf's tremendous growth. After all, Sole Wolf was finally a warrior of Ultimate Class.

“All right, it's time to deal with the ones making a scene down below!”

Along with the rest, Zeke leaped off the cliff and returned to Joseph's side. However, the officials were nowhere to be seen anymore.

Alfred asked the Azure Dragon soldiers left behind, “Where are the officials from the Ministry of Celestial Affairs?

“They left shortly after Great Marshall's departure.”

Nameless yelled, “It seems like they're trying to run away, huh? I'm pretty sure they're guilty as well!

We should go after them at once!”

Zeke stopped Nameless and asked, “How long has it been since they left?”

“Just a few minutes.”

“If that's the case, I'm sure they're still around.”

Zeke secured the perimeter with Invincible Wave Energy. Those who couldn't stand the intimidating energy had a hard time catching their breaths.

Ares and those next to Zeke felt ashamed because their energy could merely secure the perimeter of around fifteen meters when Zeke could easily cover more than a few hundred.

However, they knew it wasn't much of a surprise since Zeke wasn't just an ordinary martial artist. It didn't make sense for them to compare themselves against him.

It merely took Zeke a short while to locate the officials from the Ministry of Celestial Affairs.

“Where do you think you're going? You're coming back here!” Zeke yelled and brought them back with Invincible Wave Energy.

Joseph and his party ended up in front of Zeke once again.

Zeke stepped on Joseph's head and asked, “Why are you in such a hurry? You're not running away because you're guilty, are you?”

“W-What the hell are you talking about? You need to move away from me! I'm an inspector of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs! Only the president is superior to me! What makes you think you're in a position to pick on me when we're equal in the hierarchical structure?”
