Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 541 - Bab 550

The moment Orion saw Zeke's face, sheer terror washed over him. It was as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes widened in disbelief, nearly bulging from their sockets.'That face… Isn't that Zeke? How could it be him? Why is it him?'Orion's heart pounded so violently it felt like it might burst straight through his throat.In truth, Orion was not the only one stunned by Zeke's face. Every elite agent in the Uppersea branch stood frozen in disbelief, their faces drained of color.Sharp gasps echoed throughout the room."Wait… Him? Mr. Carter?""Isn't he the hero who killed Kaldor? He did the Department of Mystia a huge favor.""Yeah. Could the higher-ups have made a mistake? How could he be the killer?""Orion personally vouched for him. He had special clearance. He didn't even need to register."The room erupted into frantic whispers. No one could process it. They had imagined every possible suspect—everyone except Zeke.After all, Orion had openly acknowledged Zeke as a friend

Seeing the shock and terror on everyone's faces, Zeke merely smiled. "If I want someone dead, I kill them. Why does there have to be a reason?"His gaze shifted to Stefan, Cynthia, and Thaddeus, his voice turning icy. "You three old fools should be thanking me. I let you live two extra years. Otherwise, you'd already be dead."Those words left Stefan, Cynthia, and Thaddeus stunned. So Zeke had wanted them dead for two years already?Evan had been right all along. Zeke really had been hiding monstrous ambitions behind that mask.Unlike them, who had long since seen through Zeke, Hazel and the others were on the verge of breaking down. None of them had been prepared for this.One moment, everything had seemed fine, and the next, Zeke had casually killed someone right in front of them. The contrast was too overwhelming.Hazel and the others stood frozen in shock. This was not the Zeke they knew.The Zeke they knew had been warm, cheerful, and protective. He had treated them well, t

Zeke had committed some unforgivable crime? So the Department of Mystia was here to arrest him?But wasn't the Department of Mystia supposed to be one of Zeke's connections? How had they gone from backing him to hunting him?Hazel and the other two felt like their minds were about to explode.There was only one possible explanation—Zeke had been doing terrible things behind the scenes. Things like the person he had killed right in front of them earlier.But that made no sense. They had spent the past two years with him, and Zeke was with them most of the time. When would he have had the chance to do anything else? They were completely baffled.Hazel and the others stood there in stunned disbelief.Graham had collapsed onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Everything that had happened today had sent him from the highest high straight into hell. He was beyond devastated.Today was supposed to be Zeke's welcome-back banquet.After this meal, the wedding would move forward, e

The moment those words landed, Roxanne and Anya felt like they couldn't breathe.They instinctively turned to look at Evan as the suffocating realization drove them further into despair.Evan had told them that Zeke had openly expressed his desire to kill him every time he gave Zeke a blood transfusion.He had even warned them that Zeke would get rid of him the moment he was no longer useful.Yet, they had never believed him. They thought Evan was lying, making things up to frame Zeke. Only now did they understand that he had been telling the truth.Zeke had always played the harmless victim whenever he was in front of them. So, they thought that he was truly the weak and vulnerable little lamb. Meanwhile, his true nature had been on full display in front of Evan.They were overwhelmed with guilt toward Evan for the first time in their lives.They never should've doubted him, and they definitely never should've trusted Zeke so blindly.Alas, it was too late. Any apology they co

A hush fell over them all. The silence dragged on, swallowing everything. Everyone came to a standstill as the atmosphere became so heavy that it made it hard for them to breathe.The Department of Mystia's prodigies were stunned.Helso… lost? They couldn't do anything but stare. As shock overtook them, it was soon replaced with despair.That was Helso. One of the Department of Mystia's top 10 powerhouses. Yet, he had lost to Zeke, who was a young man in his 20s. Who would believe that?"I have to be dreaming. How could Mr. Genley lose?"Several of the young elites refused to accept it, but their trembling only grew worse. They had honed their instincts, so they knew what they were feeling wasn't about to go away. Every single one of them was gripped by raw, primal fear.Hazel, Roxanne, Anya, Graham, and the others had fallen into the same deathly silence. If even the Department of Mystia couldn't stop Zeke, then who could protect them?"Didn't see this coming, did you?" Zeke la
