John’s pupils constricted the moment he detected the blood on Theodore’s hands.

Theodore had shown no mercy to Mr. Blackwood at all. He had evidently gotten rid of Mr. Blackwood, sending him straight to hell.

Deep down, John was upset and horrified because he feared that he would likely end up in a similar situation, should he fail to prove himself worthy in the future.

Once Theodore washed his hands, he headed over and prayed to atone for his sins. He murmured to himself, “Oh, God! Please forgive me for I have sinned against you...”

Once he had everything sorted out, he rushed over to Zeke’s place with John by his side.

As he was concerned about his own safety, he had a few hitmen tagging along, hiding in the dark, to protect him.

Once they reached Zeke’s place, Zeke was going through a stack of reports in a serious manner. Therefore, he paid no heed to them at all.

At long last, the superior ones had crossed paths in life.

A period of unusual tranquility could be detected, as though it was the calm before the storm. However, it was likely to presage difficult times soon.

Theodore asked with an irritated expression, “Zeke... Harry, whom you have killed, is a close acquaintance of mine. I’ll let you off the hook for killing him, but please return his corpse to me. That Isn’t much to ask for, right?”

Nevertheless, Zeke had never once raised his head throughout their conversation. Instead, his eyes glinted wrathfully as he asked in a callous tone, “Aren’t you curious about what I’m reading?”

“Am I supposed to know what you’re reading? I believe that it has nothing to do with me because I’m merely here to retrieve the corpse of a close acquaintance of mine!” Theodore chimed.

“It has nothing to do with you? Are you sure? Why don’t you take a look and tell me if you have anything to do with this!” Zeke cast the stack of reports he had been reading in Theodore’s direction.


Theodore took a peek at it and realized that it was the name list of the personnel who had been sacrificed in order to take those from the Black Pentagon out.

I knew it! It seems like Zeke has been suspecting me for quite some time!

Although taken aback, Theodore tried his best to put on a calm front, as he replied indifferently, “I’m sorry, but I don’t get it. Does that mean you’re suspecting that I’m the leader of the Black Pentagon?”

Zeke chided, “Are you trying to play dumb in front of me? I’m sure that you’re aware of the truth as much as I am, aren’t you? I’m advising you to turn yourself in and bear the consequences of your actions. Otherwise, once I get my hands on the evidence, I shall massacre those who are involved mercilessly!”

“Hmph! Stop wasting my time! Where the hell is Harry’s corpse?” Theodore confronted Zeke.

“I’m sure he has reached your place by now,” Zeke told Theodore.

“What do you mean?” Theodore was confused by Zeke’s words.

“I’d said what I’d meant,” Zeke answered sarcastically.

He was about to leave once he finished his sentence, but Theodore placed his hand on Zeke’s shoulder and stopped him.

“Hold it right there. I’m afraid that you’re not allowed to leave unless you hand over Harry’s corpse to me.”

Instantaneously, Zeke whipped around and slapped Theodore in the face.

Slap!

Everyone present heard the slap loud and clear, as it echoed throughout the confined space.

Soon, silence befell, as everyone was dumbfounded because Zeke had slapped Theodore, the most reputable figure of Atheville, in the face.



What the hell! Does Zeke have a death wish?

Meanwhile, Zeke was on the verge of losing control over his emotions. In fact, he had never been as infuriated before in his life.

Subconsciously, he slapped Theodore in the face because he was engulfed by wrath, the moment he had recalled the thousands of young victims that had died in vain during the Black Pentagon incident.

The hitmen Theodore had brought along with him finally returned to their senses after a few seconds.

They came out of hiding, sprinting over to Zeke’s side immediately because they had wanted to teach him a lesson.

As soon as Zeke detected the presence of the hitmen, he turned his arms around. All of a sudden, he held a dagger in his hand.
