Hadley felt sorrowful as she looked at Zeke. Oh God, can you stop toying with me? Why did you arrange for my nemesis to be my grandmaster? He’s just a kept-man. A useless kept-man! I would rather face death than having to accept this outcome.
Lone Wolf and Sole Wolf exchanged whispers.
“It is proven now. Our bro is indeed engaged in a secret relationship with their master.”
“Way to go, bro! He’s sailing on two boats at once. He’s really our role model.”
“How gorgeous do you think their master is to catch our bro’s attention?”
“I think her beauty must be comparable to Lacey at the very least.”
“Our bro has wronged us this time. He has never told us about this secret relationship with their master.”
“I’m warning you. You cannot tell this matter to anyone else.”
Zeke’s face darkened as he listened to their conversation. In the end, he kicked both of them forcefully after he was fed up with Lone Wolf and Sole Wolf gossiping behind his back.
Zeke turned to look at Hadley. “What’s the matter? Are you unwilling to concede?”
Hadley sighed. “I concede. I yield. Ah, I have always thought master despises men. I was under the impression that master is a strong and independent woman like me. But from what I can see now, you’ve already stolen her heart a long time ago.”
Zeke waved his hands dismissively at her. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now. Tell me the scheme you’ve planned with Logan Hugh.”
Hadley said nervously, “Shit! Your wife may be in danger.”
Zeke urged her impatiently, “Faster. Tell me what you’ve planned.”
Hadley elaborated, “I arranged for Emily Clemons to lure both of you to the karaoke and mix some meth in your drinks. Then Logan Hugh will arrange for the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Harvey Hoffman, to carry out a surprise inspection at the karaoke. The two of you will be detained on the spot for drug abuse because of the adulterated alcohol you consumed. Since Logan is the owner of an entertainment company, he will arrange for reporters to standby at the venue. The reporters will spread the news the moment you’re captured by the officers. By that time, Emily will also provide her statement to the media. She will inform the public of your decadent lifestyle, your infidelity, and your detestable act of forcing your girlfriend to sell drugs at the karaoke because you need more money to fund your drug addiction.”
Zeke sneered, “You and Logan Hugh are extraordinarily evil.”
Zeke was an influential figure now. His name frequented the hot topics on the Internet.
More people would pay attention to Zeke if such a huge scandal were announced to the public at that time point.
By that time, his reputation would be ruined as he became a loathsome existence in everyone’s opinion.
Zeke continued, “Harvey Hoffman must be related to Logan Hugh since Logan can order him around. I guess it is rewarding for me to play this long game. I have successfully ensnared the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee too.”
“What do you mean by that?” Hadley was stunned.
Zeke replied, “We’ll talk about this another day. Sole Wolf, bring over the assassin we’ve captured. Let’s go to the karaoke now. Hadley, inform Logan you’ve completed your mission. Tell him you’ve killed the assassin.”
Sole Wolf went to fetch the assassin while Hadley contacted Logan at once.
Hadley said to Logan once the call connected, “Mission accomplished, Logan. The assassin is dead.”
Logan let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the call. “Nicely done.” Zeke Williams can no longer blackmail me now that the assassin is dead. I can finally deal with Zeke in person now.
Logan put on a faint smile and dialed Harvey’s number. “Mr. Hoffman, I will tag along with you to the surprise inspection...”
Sole Wolf brought over the assassin.
The Red Killer was bound and gagged. She appeared to be lifeless.
Her pupils constricted as she was caught in a state of agitation when she saw Hadley casually chatting with her enemies. The Red Killer began making muffled noises with the gag in her mouth.
I can’t believe this. Hadley Murphy, the assassin whom I respected the most, is chatting merrily with the enemy. She... she betrayed the Organization!
Sole Wolf removed the gag from Red Killer’s mouth.
She bellowed at once, “Hadley Murphy, you... you’re a traitor! How dare you turn against the Organization and join forces with the enemy! You should rot in hell and suffer a miserable death!”
Hadley rolled her eyes at the Red Killer. “Shut up. He’s not our enemy. This guy is our grandmaster.”
The Red Killer began laughing hysterically as if she had heard the funniest joke in the entire world. “Haha! I can’t believe I actually thought of you as my idol, Hadley Murphy. You’re a fool! You’re admitting this filthy man as your grandmaster...”
Hadley had no other choice but to reach for her phone and contact the Young Patriarch because the Red Killer was unconvinced...
