...
In order to preserve his legs, he followed Zeke to a secluded corner.
Zeke scoffed, “You know Master Williams?”
Alfred nodded, “Of course.”
Zeke queried, “I heard that Master Williams loves to remain low-key and the only people who know his true identity
are Hades and Eclipse. How did you get to know Master Williams?”
Alfred replied guiltily, “I know the two of them, so they introduced me to him.”
“Aha.” Zeke chuckled. “So you know Hades and Eclipse very well, then. Call Hades now to prove yourself.”

Hades, who was so far away.

you.”
Zeke replied, “I’ll just break your legs if you refuse.”

After some thought, he lied, “I just changed to a new phone, so I don’t have his contact saved. I’ll call up a friend
who has his number.”
Alfred then called up his friend. Within ten minutes, he managed to obtain Hades’ number.

Alfred scowled, “Didn’t you hear me? Hades won’t pick up if he sees an unknown number.”
Zeke smiled, “It’s bold of you to assume that I don’t know him.”
Alfred gave a skeptical glance at Zeke and had a bad feeling about this. Don’t tell me this guy knows Hades?
He dialed Hades’ number with Zeke’s phone and sure enough, the call connected.
In fact, it connected almost immediately.
Hades greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Williams.”
Alfred trembled with fear. Damn it! This guy really knows Hades. Hades even calls him “Mr. Williams”. Looks like

Hades replied in confusion, “No, I don’t. Should I?”
Zeke chuckled, “This guy told me that you’re his pal and introduced him to Master Williams. A few days back, he
even had tea with the Master.”
Hades burst out into laughter, “Mr. Williams, you are Master Williams. Surely you didn’t have to call me to know that
he was lying!”
