Right then, someone knocked on the door.

Harvey answered flatly, “Come in.”

A man wearing a suit walked in.

He noticed the stainless steel cup on the floor and teased, “Oh dear. Who pissed our dear Mr. Hoffman off?”

Seeing the guest, Harvey immediately stood up and became very respectful.

The man who walked in was non-other than Wilson Wood, the municipal secretary, and a position higher than that of his own.

As they say, it was all about the ranks. And so whenever Harvey Hoffman saw Wilson Wood, he would always have to be very respectful and courteous, lest he accidentally got on his bad side.

However, the two were mere acquaintances and had never spoken more than ten sentences to each other. So Wilson’s sudden appearance got Harvey really curious.

He cleared his thoughts and gave Wilson a smile. “Mr. Wood, what a surprise. Please have a seat.”

“Look at me, not even able to hold a cup properly in my old age. I’ll get my secretary in to clean it up right away.”

Wilson only grinned in response.


Harvey had his secretary come in to clean up his mess, then prepare two cups of tea for them. He personally served a cup to Wilson. “Mr. Wood, please have a cup of tea.”

Wilson took a sip, then quipped airily. “Mr. Hoffman, all the troubles here are pissing of the boss.”

“The boss?” A chill ran down Harvey’s spine. “Mr. Wood, did I mishear you? Did you say...the boss?”

“You heard correct. I just said, ‘the boss.’“

Harvey’s expression immediately turned grave, and he hurriedly ran to shut all the windows.

He never expected him and Wilson to have the same boss, or that they belonged to the same line.

Harvey’s position was too low, so he didn’t have the clearance to know much about those in the line. Previously, he had only known that there were Hades and Logan Hugh in this particular line.

And now it turned out, Wilson Wood was part of this line too!

This is great! With another power player involved, let’s see how Zeke Williams can get away from us!

Harvey hurriedly spoke up, “Mr. Wood, please help me tell the boss to not be angry. I’ll be sure to find a way to kill Zeke.”

The scorn was evident in Wilson’s eyes. “Do you think you can kill Zeke alone? I think you are overestimating yourself.”

“That man is the ultimate pot-stirrer.”

“He caused so much chaos in the Rivermouth underground scene, and now the boss has lost all control over it.”

“And because of him, Logan Hugh is now in jail and doesn’t have long to live.”

“Even the Necromancer Assassin Organization is keeping their distance from the boss.”

“All of this is a clearly a provocation towards the boss. And he’s very angry.”

“The Rivermouth situation has gotten totally out of control, and you’re incapable of cleaning it up.”

Harvey spoke up carefully. “Then... What are the boss’ wishes, Mr. Wood?”
