Chapter 2167
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 waspletely 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 andrgely depleted energy level.
Immediately, Zeke instructed, “Fortuna, attack!”
However, Fortuna hid in Zeke''s chest and refused to act as per hismand. No matter how many
times he called upon Fortuna, thetter did not respond ordingly.
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 his 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 be idle. Delighted and hopeful, a me 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 n.
Kush n 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 n 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, epted briberies, and neglected the needs
of the people under your care. Only death can atone for your sins,” dered 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''vended yourself in deeper trouble by escaping prison!” he added.
“Haha! Diverting the me to use 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 ns of escaping.
Disappointed, Teddy grew anxious. He had turned thew enforcement recorder on, with the hope of
capturing evidence of Zeke''s prison break to justify his reason for shooting him.
cidly, 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''mmanding you to ce your hands behind
your head and get down on the floor. Otherwise, I''ll shoot.”
Teddy tried to anger Zeke with his words.
