Chapter 2433


    Erebus shot a look at Warren in a way that made thetter hold his breath.


    “Are you trying to tell me what to do?” Erebus retorted.


    Warren waved his hand furiously. “You''ve misunderstood me as I didn''t mean it that way. It''s my fault


    for having misspoken...”


    That yielded a cold snort from Erebus. “Hmph. Just don''t do it again. Let''s head over to Linton Group.”


    Thereafter, Warren followed behind Erebus in silent relief.


    My godfather Daemonium ended up dead because he was overconfident and underestimated Zeke.


    Elder Erebus is very simr to Godfather in this regard, so I do hope that he won''t end up in defeat as


    he did.


    Warren''s esteem for Erebus had just taken a major hit.


    Regardless, he cast aside those random musings as he hastened toward Linton Group alongside


    Erebus, all the while keeping his fingers crossed in the hope that there might be some basis for Erebus''


    brazenness.


    Simultaneously, another two figures seized upon Zeke''s absence to also sneak inside Linton Group.


    Those two were the Guardian of Mount Kush and Sheldon, who had also set their sights on that stream


    of Fortuna.


    Donning caps and masks, they wore uniforms emzoned with the name of Blue Empyrean Logistics


    while they pushed a trolley into the building.

    Blue Empyrean Logistics was a business partner of Linton Group whose staff were a frequent sight


    around Linton Group''s premises. Hence, none of Linton Group''s staff were inclined to be suspicious of


    those two.


    Thus, the Guardian of Mount Kush and Sheldon sessfully managed to reach the elevator without


    drawing any unnecessary attention to themselves.


    They then proceeded to execute the next part of their n, which was to take the elevator up to


    Lacey''s office.


    For a corporation asrge as Linton Group, their elevators were predictably manned in order to prevent


    criminal elements from using them for devious purposes.


    The elevator operator was immediately alerted to the two men''s presence the moment they neared.


    “Hold up. What are you here for?”


    “We''re here to see Ms. Hinton,” came Sheldon''s swift reply.


    “May I know if you have an appointment with her?” the operator asked.


    Sheldon shook his head. “No.”


    “You can''t go up without an appointment, so kindly head over to make one at the front desk first,” the


    elevator operator asserted.


    “Although we haven''t made a prior appointment, we''ve something here that she said would allow us


    ess to her at any time,” Sheldon said.


    That piqued the operator''s curiosity. “What is it?”


    Sheldon clenched a fist and extended it toward the unwary elevator operator, who stared at it


    unwaveringly with both eyes.


    When he got close enough, Sheldon suddenly drove his fist into the elevator operator''s throat. The


    poor operator did not even have time to let out a whimper before he passed out cold.


    In order to prevent others from noticing, Sheldon wrapped an arm around the unconscious man''s waist


    to prevent him from falling over.


    From the perspective of any observer, those two were merely behaving in a friendly manner while they


    chatted away.


    Fortunately for them, it was an off-peak period, so no one else was likely to be riding the elevator.


    Sheldon swiftly grabbed ahold of the operator and stepped inside the lift.


    He then hit the button for the highest floor where Lacey''s office was situated.


    “There must be at least three dozen offices on the top level, Master, so I''m not sure which one is


    Lacey''s,” Sheldon said. “It''s going to be impractical to try to go through every single one of them, so


    why don''t you wait around while I try to find out?”


    That yielded a cold snort from the Guardian of Mount Kush. “Why didn''t you just ask the elevator


    operator that, you moron?”


    “But he''s already passed out,” Sheldon protested.


    “I''m the consciousness of the Kush n and am most adept at probing the minds of others. The task of


    tapping into his consciousness is almost too easy for me.”


    Tapping into his consciousness...


    Sheldon was stunned.


    Without question, Master is akin to a god among men.


    Casting a casual nce in the elevator operator''s direction, the Guardian of Mount Kush then said,


    “Lacey Hinton''s office is the fourth one to the left of the elevator.”


    “Truly, I am in awe of your sublime abilities, Master,” Sheldon enthused.
