    Episode 181

    Kay’s face turned pale at Zeke’s words.

    I wanted to say something else but Zeke standing right in front of me covered my mouth and I couldn’t say anything.

    Zeke continued in a cold voice.

    “Kay I will never forgive a traitor.”

    “Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

    Kay twisted her body violently as if trying to say something.

    But Zeke with a cold expression on his face tightened his grip on Kay’s shoulder and injected Hydra’s venom.

    Ss …

    Hydra’s venom seeped into Kay’s body paralyzing her nerves.

    Kay shivered with bloodshot eyes.

    I felt my whole body gradually stiffening starting from my fingertips.

    Zeke didn’t stop there and used his lightning skills on her body.

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    Electricity flowed through Kay’s body along the chain.

    Although Kay trembled in pain Zeke did not stop and continued to strike with even greater force.

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    Electricity surged through Kay’s body.

    That was when.

    Zeke’s eyes lit up.

    ‘Found it.’

    We found a parasite that was cleverly hidden inside Kay’s body.

    Then he increased the electric output to burn the parasites intensively.

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    The parasite attached to her body couldn’t withstand the electric shock and started to squirm trying to get out of her body.

    But Zeke wouldn’t let the parasite escape.

    He increased the electric output and focused on burning the parasites.

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    The parasite hit by Hydra’s venom and lightning somehow managed to escape Kay’s body.

    Wood crunch!

    Zig’s movements became more hectic as the parasite tried to escape through his skin.

    The parasite had to be killed before it could fully emerge.

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    As the lightning was concentrated further the parasite was completely burned and killed just before it could escape through the skin.

    Only after confirming that the parasite’s movements had completely stopped did Zeke’s tense expression relax.

    He sighed took out his dagger and cut the skin on Kay’s shoulder.

    Then he pulled out the dead parasite that was hanging out of it.

    He placed the dead parasites in a glass bottle he had prepared in advance and sealed it.

    Then he quickly took out Agamemnon’s mask and used the power of purification.

    Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

    A golden aura flowed from Zeke’s hand and purified Kay’s body.

    The force blew away the remains of the parasite that had been attached to her body.

    Only then did Zeke release the chains and restore Kay’s body with healing.

    “Huh!”

    Kay opened her eyes gasping for breath as if she had come back to life from the dead.

    She got up from her seat and shouted at Zeke getting all worked up.

    “We made a pledge of allegiance how could I betray you!”

    Zeke nodded while looking at Kay like that.

    “I know. Thanks to you I was able to find the traitor.”

    He showed me the parasite he had extracted from Kay’s body.

    Kay was shocked when she saw the vial containing the disgusting parasite.

    “What is this?”

    “I told you. Traitor. This thing is inside your body and stealing information.”

    “What? Does that make sense?”

    It was as she said out of the ordinary.

    Even she who was active in the underworld where all sorts of methods were used had never heard of the idea of ​​planting parasites in the body to steal information.

    Zig returned to his seat and clicked his tongue as he looked at the parasite in the vial.

    “It’s the work of the hellish bastards. These aren’t creatures from the phenomenal world. They summoned creatures from the demon world and cast all sorts of black magic on them to create this.”

    Zig also mentioned that his youngest disciple Salmakju also had this parasite embedded in his body.

    Kay shook her head and exhaled.

    “Oh my god. Even to the end… Those guys called Narak. What kind of guys are they?”

    “Abel and Siemens and even the Empire are all involved. At first I thought it was just an unknown black magic clan but it seems to be bigger than I thought.”

    Kay asked Zeke as he looked at the dead parasite.

    “When on earth did that get into my body?”

    “There are many ways. They could have put parasite seeds in your food or they could have planted them through contact.”

    “Well… but it could be planted in someone else besides me.”

    “I threw various pieces of information at you and checked where the information was leaking from. At first I suspected Paynen but after checking it wasn’t you. The only one left was Kay but… I knew you couldn’t betray me since you swore an oath as you said.”

    Kay sighed in relief.

    “That’s fortunate. If I had done something wrong I would have been labeled a traitor.”

    “Don’t worry I knew you wouldn’t betray me.”

    Since his relationship with Kay dates back to his previous life Zeke knew her well.

    The biggest reason she was able to become the Empress of the Underworld was because unlike others she trusted her colleagues.

    As someone who had been betrayed by his colleagues several times Zikro felt burdened by Kay’s trust at first.

    But when he realized that her feelings were sincere he opened his heart to Kay too.

    Although they weren’t lovers they were almost the only friends who could open up their hearts to each other.

    Zeke said looking at Kay.

    “Kay from now on you are a dead person.”

    Kay looked surprised at his words then slowly nodded.

    “Are you trying to fool your enemies into thinking I was a traitor?”

    “Yes. The Syndicate is one of the central axes of power that I have. Seeing the parasite dead you’ll think I’ve purged you. I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to clean up the Syndicate’s organization.”

    After Don Juan’s death and the absorption of the McCain Cartel the syndicate’s organization grew rapidly.

    Fortunately Kay was leading the organization well but the problem was that as the syndicate grew covert activities inevitably became more difficult.

    Following the Nostra Family and Red Eye Crosstel the Syndicate also began to be known as a large organization.

    As the organization grew restrictions on its activities could arise.

    Kay the boss of the syndicate also had concerns about this so he agreed with Zeke.

    “I get what you mean. So how are you going to organize it?”

    “Let’s minimize our influence in the central continent and move our base to the south. We’ll also have the McCain Cartel forces absorbed by the Kingdom of Cusco.”

    Kay was surprised by Zeke’s words.

    “The kingdom is absorbing the cartel forces?”

    “Even after McCain and the favela cartels disappeared small and medium-sized cartels still thrive. In order for the Cuzco kingdom to regain its power the southern continent needs to be stabilized.”

    “As long as Soma is created in the Southern Continent the cartels will never disappear.”

    “It would be difficult to eliminate it all at once from the beginning. I have no intention of eliminating Soma itself. It is also an important source of livelihood for the people of the Southern Continent. As soon as the Kingdom of Cusco is stabilized we will control the Soma farms and produce and sell medicine. As I have said before if Soma can be used as a medical raw material rather than a drug its value will increase. Research is being delayed because it is slower than expected but the results will come out.”

    “Yeah that’s right. But is that… really possible?”

    “Kay I trust you so I’m leaving it to you.”

    Kay was taken aback when her heart raced at Zeke’s words that he would trust her.

    Because it was the first time that my heart raced at the words of a younger man.

    ‘Come to your senses. Come to your senses.’

    Kay’s principle was never to let personal feelings get in the way while working.

    She tried to calm her mind and nodded.

    “Okay. Then I’ll stay in Cusco for the time being.”

    “Okay. Let’s keep all the syndicate organizations to a minimum for the time being and leak information as if there’s some noise inside.”

    If they thought there was something wrong with the Syndicate one of Zeke’s forces there was a high possibility that Abel and Narak would take advantage of the gap and attack first.

    Zeke intended to use that attack against him.

    ‘No matter what happens I’ll fight back.’

    Zeke’s eyes shone sharply.

    * * *

    Ddddddddd—

    The carriage carrying William Siemens stopped in front of the Siemens headquarters.

    An old mansion located deep in the mountains.

    William got out of the carriage and looked up at the mansion for the first time in a long time.

    The Siemens clan the most powerful bloodline of the Draker family was small in size.

    William entered the main house and followed the servant’s instructions down the stairs to the basement.

    After going down for a while William stopped and had to wait for a while.

    Soon the iron door in front of them opened and surprisingly a portal magic circle was installed inside.

    The true home of the Siemens family existed beyond this portal.

    William stood on the portal magic circle.

    Soon a red light appeared in the magic circle.

    Wooooow!

    William held his breath for a moment as the portal activated.

    Phew!

    The aura surrounding him disappeared and when William opened his eyes the scenery around him had changed.

    The space engraved with old relief murals was dimly lit by magic lights installed here and there on the walls.

    William took a deep breath stepped down from the magic circle opened the door and came out.

    A maze-like corridor that seemed to have been built a long time ago as if it were an ancient ruin appeared.

    Even William a direct descendant of the Siemens family did not know exactly where this labyrinth was located or what its overall structure was.

    Only the Siemens family knew the secret of this labyrinth.

    William walked out to meet the head of the household who was preparing for baptism.

    But then a figure wearing black robes appeared out of the darkness.

    He bowed his head to William and spoke.

    “Abel is looking for you.”

    Abel was also training in this labyrinth for the day of his baptism.

    The fact that Abel who was supposed to be preparing for baptism was looking for him meant that something was wrong.

    William paused then followed the robed Inyoung towards Abel.

    The length of the labyrinth in the dungeon always changes according to the set time.

    Because of that if someone who didn’t know the rules came in they would never be able to get out of there.

    William followed the guide and walked for a long time until he finally reached the sanctuary where Abel was staying.

    Inyoung wearing a robe opened the door.

    As soon as I opened the door a strong scent of blood wafted from inside.

    “William come in.”

    Abel stood naked in a huge bathtub located in the center of the sanctuary.

    The bathtub he was standing in was surprisingly full of red blood.

    Abel slowly walked out of the bath of blood.

    Red blood dripped down his statuesque body.

    Soon the servants came and cleaned Abel’s body.

    He offered William a seat while wearing a light gown.

    The servants brought wine and glasses to the table.

    “Would you like a drink?”

    William shook his head.

    Abel shrugged and quenched his thirst with the blood-red wine.

    William opened his mouth and looked at Abel.

    “I know you’re busy preparing for the Abel ceremony but… I have something to tell you about Zeke Draker.”

    Abel chuckled at those words.

    “What a coincidence. I have something to say about Zeke too.”

    Abel said putting down his wine glass.

    “I already heard that Dario testified at the trial.”

    William was startled by those words.

    Even though they were in a labyrinth cut off from the outside world they already had all the information.

    William could feel once again that Abel had a stronger influence on Siemens than he a direct descendant of the family.

    ‘Is this the difference in class?’

    Because of this William gave up on competing with Abel at a young age.

    William being cool and intelligent realized too quickly the unbridgeable gap that existed between Abel and himself.

    So he decided to become Abel’s first vassal and most trusted friend.

    And that choice was right.

    Abel had the ambition to swallow up not only the Draker family but also the Empire and he had the class to match.

    William felt a mixture of awe and fear as he watched Abel gradually overcome his human limitations.

    Abel opened his mouth as he looked at William.

    “The mouse was caught by Zeke.”

    At those words William’s face hardened.

    “What does that mean?”

    As Abel waved his hand Inyoung dressed in a black robe came holding something.

    What he handed me was a glass bottle and inside it was a dead parasite lying limp.

    It was something that came out of an egg like a parasite placed in Kay’s body.

    The method was that when a parasite placed in the body sent information its partner parasite would knock on the glass wall and send a signal to inform the other person of the information.

    Abel said as he looked at the dead parasite.

    “When I decoded the last signal she sent I found out that Zeke had dealt with her. He struck her with lightning. He branded her a traitor. And the rat in her body died as well.”

    “You already noticed?”

    “I told you. Zeke is no ordinary man. He is more thorough and scary than Carly.”

    Abel who had been clicking his tongue as he spoke took a sip of wine and smiled.

    “But this time I think it was Zeke who misstepped. He killed that woman named Kay too hastily.”

    William opened his mouth at Abel’s words.

    “Does this mean that her death will cause a rift in the syndicate?”

    Abel nodded and got up from his seat.

    “The Syndicate was nothing but Zeke’s eyes and ears. And it was that woman Kay’s ability that allowed them to maintain their power.”

    He said grabbing William’s shoulder.

    “The poison of betrayal is more deadly than you might think. Having killed the person he trusted most with his own hands Zeke will never be able to trust anyone again.”

    “The organization is going to collapse from within.”

    “It will collapse like a hastily built sand castle.”

    Abel smiled cruelly.

    “Now is the perfect time to destroy my youngest brother William.”

    He whispered in William’s ear.

    “I’ll use this opportunity to lure him and completely destroy him.”
