After returning to the Grand Imperial Tea House, Hades let his servant prepare the medicine he had to take.
It took more than two hours to prepare. Hades was about to drink it when an explosion could be heard from below.
Following the loud bang, the whole tea house shook. Hades and Eclipse quickly exchanged looks.
“What’s happening?”
“Let’s go take a look.”
Both of them left the room together.
As soon as they went out, a person climbed into the room through the window.
The person then took out a packet of white powder and poured it into the medicine prepared for Hades. The whole process took no longer than ten seconds. It showed how skillful the uninvited visitor was.
A car had exploded outside the tea house.
Hades turned to look at Eclipse and smiled meaningfully.
“Are they trying to lure us out?” Eclipse asked.
“We’ll know soon. Let’s head back in,” Hades nodded.
Both of them went back to their room. Hades picked up a pet cat on their way back.
As soon as they got back, Eclipse looked around and warned, “Someone was here.”
Being one of the best hitmen in all of Rivermouth, Eclipse immediately noticed the slight changes in the room.
“You’re right. They were trying to make us leave the room.” Hades smiled as he let the cat drink the medicine that was meant for him.
The two elderly men then proceeded to observe the cat.
The cat showed no symptom in the first hour, but after that, the cat got violent and began to run amok as it cried in pain.
It only took five minutes after that for the cat to collapse with its eyes rolled back.
The cat dropped dead ten minutes later.
“Logan, you sure are vicious.” Hades smiled gently.
“Looks like that’s all for your part.” Eclipse nodded. “It’s showtime for Logan now.”
Hades got up and stretched his body. “I can finally rest now. I’ll leave the rest to you, my old friend.”
Eclipse got up and walked to the window. “Wait for me. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
“Where are you going?”
“Logan has to die. So does the person who tried to poison you.”
“Right. Just find out who the person is first. We don’t want to alert them too soon,” Hades nodded.
“Okay,” Eclipse replied and jumped out of the window that was six floors high.
Yet, Hades wasn’t worried as he knew the height was nothing for Eclipse.
Hades waited patiently and Eclipse came back half an hour later with a serious look on his face.
“Did you find out who the person was?” Hades asked curiously.
“If I’m not mistaken, the person is from Necro,” Eclipse nodded.
“Oh?” Hades’ face turned serious upon the mention of Necro. “Who would’ve thought that Logan would team up with someone from Necro. This news would bring some delight to Mr. Williams.”
Hades then pulled his phone out and called Zeke, “I have something important to tell you. Someone from Necro just visited my room. I believe Logan is working with them.”
“That Logan sure is full of surprise!” Zeke laughed. “This is indeed important news.”
