Swish!
Zeke suddenly kicked a pebble on the floor. The pebble shot toward a dark corner in the southwest direction.
“Ouch!”
A wail was heard from the corner as the pebble disappeared into the darkness.
Sole Wolf hobbled out from the corner swiftly afterwards. “How did you discover me, bro? I was even holding my
breath earlier.”
“You need to smoke less in the future. I caught whiffs of the tobacco smell on you even from afar.”
Sole Wolf was displeased. “Do you have the nose of a dog? Why are you so sensitive toward smell...”
Hm?
Zeke was infuriated. He kicked Sole Wolf forcefully.
You’re getting too full of yourself to compare me to a dog, Sole Wolf!
“Ouch!” Sole Wolf screamed in pain again.
“Where is the assassin that we captured?” Zeke asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLone Wolf pointed at a small room in the corner. “He’s inside the detention chamber.”
Zeke said, “Let’s go and visit him.”
The trio walked toward the detention chamber.
Zeke chastened, “One of you is the person in charge of the Provincial Military District while the other is the General
North. But both of you are guarding a mere assassin in person at this place. Don’t you think you’re wasting your
time and talent? How many times have I told you? You could’ve just sent one of your subordinates to assist me.”
Sole Wolf chuckled. “Bro, that’s because we have missed you.”
“Cut the crap. Why do you miss me? Both of you are not getting any younger. It’s time for you to consider
marriage. Does any one of you have a girl that you like? I can ask Lacey to fix you up.”
Sole Wolf replied in a hurry, “Bro, we are not getting married before you do. By the way, what’s going on with you
and Lacey? When are you hosting a wedding ceremony?”
“Soon. We’ve accomplished all the important steps every couple must experience. All that’s left for us to do is to
get married,” Zeke answered.
Lone Wolf’s eyes gleamed. “Haha. Bro, I’ve told you right from the start. That’s the only element lacking in your
relationship with Lacey. Have you finished all the condoms I gave you? That was a limited edition product from
overseas. I’ll order more for you if you’ve depleted the stock.”
Zeke’s face darkened at once. This asshole embarrassed me in front of Lacey when he gave me the Durex.
Zeke kicked Lone Wolf immediately after the latter’s speech. “I’ll skin you alive if you continue to meddle in my
matters.”
Above the underground casino.
A weird customer entered the hardware store.
The person was skinny and dressed in the same outfit as the shopkeeper. She was wearing a cap, so it was difficult
to discern her appearance.
The aged shopkeeper glanced at the person’s peculiar behavior and sensed something odd. “What are you looking
for?”
“I’m looking for a key.”
“What key?”
“The key to the basement.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe aged man shook his head. “I’m sorry. I don’t have that.”

The code phrase was no longer valid after the casino was shut down.
But the suspicious person did not show any intention to leave.
She sneered, “I’ll have to enter by force if you do not have the key.”
The person advanced in the aged man’s direction with malicious intent after she spoke.
The shopkeeper tensed up instantaneously as a thought popped into his mind. This person is up to no good!
He hurriedly extended his hand to take out the gun inside the drawer.
But it was too late.
The mysterious person hastened her steps forward.
Her movements were swift as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared before the aged shopkeeper and cut his throat.
The aged man passed out as everything went dark before he could even reach for the gun.
The person dragged and hid the aged man’s body behind the counter. Then she removed her cap.
That person was none other than Hadley Murphy.
