Chapter 352

As they were contemplating their options, Hades’ phone suddenly rang.

It was Logan Hugh.

“Hades, have you secured the Love in a Fallen City yet?” asked Logan.

“I have just talked to our lord on the phone, and he would like me to warn you, that if the project isn’t secured within five days, there will be a heavy price to pay.”

“Why don’t you secure the project yourself then, officer Hugh,” asked Hades coldly.

“Nonsense! The lord has already assigned our respective roles years ago. I’m in charge of the official matters while you are in charge of the corporate and the underworld.”

“Love in a Fallen City is considered commercial, of course, it falls within your jurisdiction.”

“Besides, it would be inappropriate for someone like me to take action against a private company. If the rival of our Lord were to catch wind about this, would you be willing to bear the consequences that come from it?”

“Hmmph! Are you sure that it wasn’t because you were actually afraid of Zeke Williams’ background?” sneered Hades.

“Zeke Williams’ background? Pray tell, what kind of background does he boast?”


“The one who is backing him is none other than the Great General of the North,” answered Hades.

“Oh my dear Hades, it seems that aging has really taken a toll on you. How could you even believe in such a tall tale.”

“You should have known that the main purpose that our Lord has ordered us to greet the General North in person is to win him over.”

“If Williams were truly the direct descendant of the General North, do you think that the Lord would still issue us such orders? Wouldn’t this have the effect of antagonizing the general?”

“Then, how would you explain the case where General North has captured the five hundred henchmen in Riverdale District, effectively saving Zeke Williams?”

“It was a mere coincidence that the almighty general had crossed paths with the people of the underworld. He did this out of his obligations. It has nothing to do with Williams,” answered Logan Hugh.

“The almighty general was at the Oakheart City not long ago; how did he suddenly appear at Riverdale City?”

“Hades, it seems that I have overestimated you. How did such an intel escape you? I thought that Eclipse was known as the pivot of intelligence?”

Hades casted a thoughtful gaze at Eclipse.

Eclipse was seen to be drinking his tea with lowered head.

“Then, tell me, why did General North come to Riverdale City?” continued Hades.

“You should be familiar with the Hinton family, right?” answered Logan.

“Yes. They are one of the four big families in Riverdale City.”

“The General North is here because of them. It seems that one of their ancestors had saved him in the past.”

“Tomorrow is the day of the Hinton Family’s death anniversary. He came here personally to repay the favor.”

“So that’s why...” Hades had a sudden realization.
