Chapter 2245


    “I think they may have drowned down there. We would''ve seen something happening otherwise.”


    “If they drown, then there''s no way we can leave here, and we''ll starve alive!”


    “Don''t give up. I''m not going to give up before I see their corpses.”


    “That''s right. The surface looks calm, but maybe crazy stuff is actually happening underwater. Or


    perhaps they were pushed away by the current of the river and washed ashore somewhere else.”


    “Mhm, that is very likely.”


    They discussed andforted each other with their spections.


    Just as the discussion was getting heated, bubbles appeared on the surface of the river. Momentster,


    three figures leaped out of the river andnded on the shore.


    It was Zeke of course.


    Rick and the others were shocked. They stood and stared stiffly.


    It wasn''t because they were surprised that Zeke and the other two were still alive.


    It was because their clothes didn''t look wet at all.


    The fact that they were able to keep their clothes dry after swimming in the river for half an hour was


    physics-defying.


    Rick gulped and muttered, “Say, do you guys think the Great Marshal is an immortal? Only an immortal


    can do something like that, right?”


    The others nodded fervently. “I think that he''s a terrific man since he''s able to gain the title of Great


    Marshal at such a young age. Even if he''s not an immortal, he''s probably born from one.”


    “Yeah, that must be it.”


    “As the saying goes, people who stand near a lucky person will also get lucky. If we follow the Great


    Marshal, we may get lucky enough to be an immortal too.”


    “Even if being an immortal is impossible for us, we''ll at least be above average if we can absorb


    the aura emanating from his body.”


    The others were d that they followed the right person.


    With a swing of his hand, Zeke dematerialized the Vauxgan Pavilion instantly.


    Rick walked out and kneeled in front of him. “Greetings, Master.”


    Zeke nodded. “I''m giving you all a mission. If you seed, you''ll be rewarded. Fail, and you''ll lose your


    head.”


    The others kneeled with Rick and assured, “Don''t worry, Master. We''ll do our best.”


    “Mhm. Keep an eye on this ce. If you see anything weird going on, you must notify me immediately.”

    If they saw something odd, it meant Fortuna was in danger. That was why Zeke gave them that order,


    so he coulde and save Fortuna at a moment''s notice.


    Rick nodded. “We''ll follow your orders, Great Marshal.”


    Zeke nodded and stared at the river for a little longer before leaving with Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf.


    “Yaah, that must ba it.”


    “As tha saying goas, pao who stand naar a lucky parson will also gat lucky. If wa follow tha Graat


    Marshal, wa may gat lucky anough to ba an immortal too.”


    “Evan if baing an immortal is impossi for us, wa''ll atast ba abova avaraga if wa can absorb


    tha aura amanating from his body.”


    Tha othars wara d that thay followad tha right parson.


    With a swing of his hand, Zaka damatarializad tha Vauxgan Pavilion instantly.


    Rick walkad out and knad in front of him. “Graatings, Mastar.”

    Rick noddad. “Wa''ll follow your ordars, Graat Marshal.”


    Zaka noddad and starad at tha rivar for a lit longar baforaaving with S Wolf and Kir Wolf.


    They prepared to head to Linton Group''s headquarters to meet with Lacey.


    Zeke started to miss her. They hadn''t seen each other for a while, after all.


    When they were halfway there, his consciousness suddenly experienced turbulence.


    It was an attempt by White Muraco n''s Progenitor to resonate with his thoughts. In other words, the


    Progenitor was trying to give him “a call”.


    He was curious why the Progenitor from White Muraco n was calling him, so he replied immediately.


    “What''s wrong?” His thoughts and the Progenitor''s thoughts began flowing toward each other


    telepathically.


    “Something has happened, Zeke. Something big!” the Progenitor roared hurriedly.


    “Scram!” he yelled. “I am your master. Those who treat their master with insolence will be punished!”


    “I don''t have time to waste right now, Zeke. Just listen to me—”


    Zeke didn''t hesitate to whip White Muraco n''s Progenitor telepathically.


    The Progenitor eximed in pain and fury, “Listen to me, d*mmit! I really do have something important


    —”


    Zeke whipped him again.


    “Ahh! Master! Master! Please, stop it, Master,” the Progenitor relented as it couldn''t handle the pain any


    longer.


    Zeke smiled. “That''s more like it. Now, tell me what''s going on.”
