“Hmph! T-Rex deserves to die for disappointing you, Hades.”
“I think you’re being to kind to him by killing him. I’m going to torture him slowly and make him go through hell.”
Hades nodded and looked at the time. “The dust should have settled right about now. You should all go.”
Everyone immediately got up and began to walk out.
Whoever arrived at Oakheart City first would get the largest piece of the pie.
However, just as they made their way toward the door, a man in black rushed in. “This is bad, Sir.”
The gang leaders stopped in their tracks and turned to the man in black with curiosity.
Hades glared at the man. “Hmph! Why are you causing such a stir? You look like a fool. What’s going on?”
“The plan has failed,” the man in black explained. “We’ve lost contact with all five hundred men involved in the siege. I’ve just received word that Zeke Williams is already back in Oakheart City.
“In fact, three hundred men from Oakheart have infiltrated Riverdale’s underworld forces, successfully taking over the place without any resistance.”
W-What?
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the man in black.
We’ve lost contact with all five hundred men?
And Zeke Williams is already back in his headquarters in Oakheart City?
Not to mention, his three hundred men have already taken over Riverdale?
Each piece of news was like a blow to the head that no one could recover from.
“No... That’s impossible!” Hades, who had just berated the man in black for ‘causing such a stir’, could not help but bang his fists on the table, standing up in a rage.
“There’s no way that Zeke Williams can take on five hundred thugs unless he’s a god,” he continued. “Not even my old friend, Eclipse, can do that. Which one of you has Samuel’s number? Call him right now.”
“I do.” Someone stepped forward and gave Samuel a call.
Yet...
Sorry. The number that you have dialed is not available. Please try again later.
Hades, who was always as steady as a mountain, could no longer remain calm. His legs shook as he slowly sat back down.
Right before this, he had boasted that Zeke Williams would surely die and that these men could divide Oakheart City among themselves.
He even instructed them to give T-Rex a clock!
Yet, Zeke Williams had completely turned the tide.
Zeke Williams had just given him a massive slap in the face!
I’ve just been slapped in the face by someone.
This is ridiculous. Absurd. Unbelievable!
The group of men standing at the door were at a complete loss as to what to do.
Their hearts had long been shaken... Not because of Zeke Williams’ abilities, but because Hades had suffered a complete defeat.
Amidst the shock, there was also an air of awkwardness.
They felt embarrassed for Hades.
Being humiliated in front of all of us must be terrible.
Hades took a sip of his tea and calmed himself.
“Go. Hurry up and investigate! There’s definitely something more to Zeke Williams!”
“Yes Sir,” the man in black answered briefly before leaving.
Eclipse took a deep breath and slowly walked outside.
Hades’ orders were not meant for the man in black, they were meant for Eclipse.
The crowd was taken aback once more.
Eclipse is about to move on his own.
There hasn’t been anyone else worthy of Eclipse’s interference for the past few decades.
...
The Riverdale TCM Hospital was solely owned by the Forrest Family of Riverdale.
Franky and Florence Forrest lay inside the most luxurious ward, recovering from their injuries.
Their father, Gavin Forrest, sat between them.
“Dad, can you give Samuel a call and tell him to keep Zeke alive?” Franky asked. “I want to kill that b****** with my own hands.”
