Ezekiel's appearance clearly stunned both Carla and Beirut, while Beirut was especially terrified.
This Elder Ezekiel of the Four Divine Beasts Family actually knew of his existence? Didn't that mean Beirut's every move might have been under Ezekiel's control all along? If Ezekiel wished it, he could kill Beirut at any time?
The more he thought about it, the more cold sweat seeped down Beirut's back. The power of the Four Divine Beasts Family's intelligence network had still exceeded his expectations.
This Ezekiel was clearly the talented elder of the Four Divine Beasts Family who had been pursuing Carla all this time.
The appearance of so many Four Divine Beasts Family experts instantly silenced all discussion within the enormous restaurant.
The Four Divine Beasts Family's reputation was simply too oppressive to ordinary gods.
Upon seeing Ezekiel arrive, Carla clearly frowned.
"Ezekiel, isn't it inappropriate for you to follow me like this?"
"The word 'follow' isn't quite appropriate. I merely wanted to see the woman I admire."
Ezekiel chuckled, then turned his gaze toward Beirut beside her.
"I know of you, Beirut. A divine beast of the rat race—even as a Mid-God, the power of your Innate Divine Ability is astonishing enough. I know you like Carla. I'm not a narrow-minded man. Let the two of us compete fairly, shall we?"
Surprisingly, Ezekiel was not angered by Beirut's presence. Instead, he smiled as he spoke to him.
"Compete fairly?"
Ezekiel's words clearly exceeded Beirut's expectations. He had thought he might encounter trouble today, but it seemed this Ezekiel was not someone who bullied others through his status.
The Four Divine Beasts Family's intelligence network was no joke these days. Naturally, Ezekiel knew Beirut's circumstances inside and out.
If Ezekiel wished, he could even investigate which Material Plane Beirut had come from
