Hades was overjoyed to hear his words. “Mr. Williams, does that mean you’ve caught the assassin?”
Zeke nodded. “That’s right. Soon, we’ll find out who’s the mastermind. Am I right, Officer Hugh?”
At that moment, the expressions on Logan’s and Hadley’s faces turned grim.
Zeke’s actions shocked them.
He actually caught the assassin who had spiked Hades’ tonic!
That S-rank assassin was only two ranks lower than Hadley in the group.
Zeke’s capability exceeds that elite assassin?
Logan was doubtful about it.
What if Zeke is trying to fool me? What if he never caught the assassin?
He looked at Hadley.
Instantly reading Logan’s mind, Hadley took out her phone to call the assassin.
The phone kept ringing, but no one picked it up.
Hadley paled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were only two possibilities when an assassin was out of reach.
One was death.
The other was when the assassin was caught.
Both options weren’t helpful to them.
Hadley nodded at Logan stiffly.
Despair sprouted in his heart.
Indeed, that assassin had been caught by Zeke.
If he got a confession, Zeke would know that Logan had instructed the assassin to murder Hades. That would be
disastrous.
If he were let off easy, he would be in jail for the rest of his life. If not, he would die.
Moreover, he could not believe that Zeke knew about the Wolf’s Den.
It was the military’s top-secret, a legend in Eurasia’s interrogation world.
Those who knew about Wolf’s Den were elites interrogators.
In other words, the interrogator was someone capable. It was likely that the interrogator would find out the truth,
eventually.
A military officer in contact with an assassin was a crime that deserved the harshest punishment.
Even the one behind the scenes could not protect Logan from this.
It terrified him.
He took in a deep breath and murmured, “Zeke, don’t burn your bridges. There’s nothing beneficial for you if you
force me into a corner today.”
Zeke snarled, “Scram! Did you think of not burning your bridge when you were targeting my family? If you don’t
bow to me today, I’ll make sure you’ll die at all costs.”
Logan widened his eyes. He glared at Zeke as if he wanted to skin the latter alive and drink his blood.
This ba****d is forcing me to a dead end.
Threatened by death, Logan relented.
He took in another deep breath and whispered, “Uncle, I shouldn’t have crossed you today. You’re a kind man.
Please don’t take my actions to heart.”
Zeke commanded, “Louder. I didn’t hear you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLogan ground his teeth and repeated in a louder voice.
After hearing his words, Zeke had a look of astonishment on his face. “What did you just call me?”
Logan clenched his fists. “Uncle.”
Zeke roared, “Scram! It’s disgusting to hear you call me that. Get lost. It’s best you don’t appear in front of me for
the rest of your life.”
With reddened eyes and popped veins on his temple, Logan stiffly turned and left.
Absolute silence enveloped the scene.
The crowd’s eyes were widened into the size of saucers as they stared at the two.
Zeke Williams, a man from the underworld, had just forced a military official to call him ‘Uncle’.
This was a scene that had never happened before.
Zeke’s status in the underworld rose to a height above everyone else.
It was a position that even Hades and Eclipse had never dreamt of.
After all, both had to bow to Logan.
Hadley’s lips pursed into a thin line. She refused to admit defeat.
She ran after Logan and murmured, “Are you relenting just like this? Have you forgotten that we have a Plan B?”
The Plan B she mentioned was the thousands of men waiting at the borders.
