Zeke replied, “We'll talk again once you have completed your mission.”
“Okay.” Phoenix regained her composure before turning to Sebastian, “Sebastian, I almost forgot to introduce
them. These men came with me, hoping to join you. Given that they are exhausted from their long journey, I would
appreciate it if you could take them in and arrange accommodation for them.”
Sebastian readily agreed.
Since he had plans to make advances on Phoenix, it would be troublesome if her subordinates were around.
Sebastian responded, “Any friend of Phoenix's is a friend of mine. Don't worry. I'll definitely treat all of you well now
that you're going to join me. Monkey, get our friends here a place to settle in.”
“Yes, sir.” Monkey acknowledged Sebastian's order. “The few of you, please come with me.”
Zeke, Sole Wolf, Nameless, and Ares got up and left with Monkey.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they arrived in front of a straw hut, Monkey explained, “You'll be staying here going forward. In fact, you can
count your blessings as this hut is among the better lodgings we have here.”
Zeke broke into a faint smile. “Monkey, why don't you come in? We have a gift for you.”
“Oh?” A grin emerged on Monkey's emotionless face. “Haha, I shall graciously accept it. Come in.”
Monkey was the first to enter the hut.
Thereafter, Zeke followed him in, while Sole Wolf closed the door behind them, causing the room to be shrouded in
darkness.
Monkey inquired delightfully, “My friends, I wonder what sort of present is it given all this mystery.”
Sole Wolf replied, “Monkey, tell us where your Spirit Stones are stored and the gift will be yours.”
Monkey's brows furrowed. “Why do you want to know? This is a secret of ours that can never be revealed. Even
those who have joined us for one or two years don't know where the location is, let alone someone new like you.”
Zeke explained, “I'll be honest with you. Recently, we have discovered a Spirit Stone mine filled brimming with
them. Therefore, I'm interested to see how big your storage is and if it's enough to store all Spirit Stones we have.”
“Really?” Monkey was skeptical. “This is the first time I heard of a Spirit Stone mine. Are you taking me for a fool? If
there really was such a thing on Theos Island, Theos would have found it before you did.”
Sole Wolf began to grow impatient. “Stop wasting time. Tell us where Spirit Stones are stored or else... Hehe.”
Sensing the ill intentions of the visitors, Monkey attempted to flee.
Unfortunately, Sole Wolf was already prepared.
He engulfed Monkey's body with an energy that brought the weight of mountains down on him. In the end, Monkey
dropped to his knees with a thud, gasping desperately from suffocation.
“F*ck!” Monkey panted heavily as he yelled with all the strength he could muster, “What is this? What the hell is
holding me down?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he painstakingly turned to look behind him, all he saw was thin air.
Nonetheless, the tremendous pressure weighing down on him was undeniable.
Is there a ghost?
Sole Wolf flashed a slight grin at him. “Monkey, stop dreaming about escaping from our clutches. It's impossible.
You had better cooperate with us instead. Who knows, we might spare you if we're in a good mood.”
At that moment, Monkey was filled with both awe and fear, “You... What is this technique you're using? H-How do
you do this?”
Sole Wolf responded, “Actually, we, too, are Gods descended from the heavens and are members of Theos' family.
We are here upon the Gods' orders to capture Theos for betraying the family. If you're willing to cooperate by
leading us to where Spirit Stones are kept, I might consider bestowing upon you the Divine Ascendance Technique.”
Monkey replied frantically, “All right, all right. I'll definitely work with you. I'll bring you to the storage area right
away as long as you promise to release me.”
