Chapter 2742 Educating The Children
Zeke waved at them and asked, “Where's Phoenix? Is she here?”
Phoenix was patching up the wounded when she heard him calling out to her. “I'm here!”
“Phoenix, I want you to make a headcount of the underaged kids in our camp and distribute the food to them
according to their age. Also, have those from your organization with high academic qualifications educate the kids.
I want all the kids to receive proper education,” Zeke said.
Phoenix stared at Zeke in confusion. “Are you serious?”
Education and knowledge were useless in a place like Theos Island, where physical strength and combat prowess
were all that mattered.
Providing the children with education would not benefit them at all.
Phoenix wasn't the only one who found Zeke's plans unnecessary. Everyone present at the scene, including the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtparents of the children, felt the same way about Zeke's plans.
If he really wants to help us out, then he should train them in the art of combat! That way, they'll be able to defend
themselves more effectively instead!
“Yes, I'm serious. You have two days to set up a basic school for them,” Zeke replied.
Of course, Zeke wasn't about to let the kids spend the rest of their lives on Theos Island. He would soon conquer
Theos Island and allow these people to return to their normal lives.
If the children were still uneducated by then, then they would be marginalized by society.
Phoenix nodded. “All right, I'll do as you say.”
“Um... Commander Williams, may I share my opinion on this?” Isabelle's mother asked cautiously.
Zeke nodded. “Of course.”
“I don't think education matters in a horrible place like this. I believe it's more important to strengthen the children
so they can protect themselves if necessary. After all, there's no point in having all that knowledge if they aren't
alive to apply it. I know I can't be the only one here who feels this way. I believe a majority of us here would agree
with me. Please take that into consideration, Mr. Williams,” Isabelle's mother said.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement and expressed their preference to have the children train in combat
instead.
Zeke took a deep breath and asked, “Have you guys never considered the possibility that you and your children will
someday leave Theos Island and return to your homeland?”
What?
Everyone looked up at Zeke in confusion as they murmured among themselves.
“D-Did we hear that right? Did Commander Williams just say that we have a chance to leave this place?”
“Given how powerful Commander Williams is, we might actually be able to get out of here!”
“Oh, man... I've been away from home for so long that I forgot about it!”
“I want to go home!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah! We want to go home!”
Everyone broke out in tears at the mention of going home.
Zeke's lips curled into a relieved smile when he saw that. Good... There's still a chance as long as the flames of
hope still burn in their hearts!
“I promise that I will get you all out of here. Rest assured that you'll be able to return to your normal lives. Right
now, you can all get back to what you were doing. We'll be able to speed up the process if you all give me your full
cooperation.”
“Okay!” everyone replied out in unison.
“We'll do anything as long as we get to go home, Mr. Williams!”
“Thank you very much for helping us out, Mr. Williams!”
“I was the wealthiest guy in my city before I got here. When we get back, I'll be sure to donate all of my assets to
you!”
“I'll give you a gold mine!”
Zeke ignored their offers and continued instructing Phoenix on constructing a basic school for all the children.
