Logan Hugh’s face turned red with anger.
This matter was the shame of his life. It was a taboo for him. Yet Zeke was teasing him about it in front of everyone.
I can’t stand it anymore!
Logan gritted his teeth as he said, “Williams, you are unbridled? I called you ‘master’ the last time because I was giving you some respect. Since you’re going to be ungrateful and get under my skin, I’m going to restore my reputation today! Kneel down and call me your ancestor now or I’m going to get rid of you once and for all.”
“Tsk tsk. Ancestor? I like the sound of that. I might be lenient with you if you kneel down and call me that right now, Logan,” said Zeke.
“You’re really as stubborn as a mule! Somebody, arrest him immediately! He has insulted a military officer. Let the military court handle him.”
“Hold on, Logan. Do you mind if we step aside for a little chat? I have an old friend whom I want to introduce to you.”
Logan looked at Zeke with disdain, “Stop acting so mysterious. If there’s anything that you have to say, wait till you’re at the military court. Get moving and arrest him.”
Logan Hugh’s subordinates immediately walked towards Zeke.
Zeke sighed again, “You must have a death wish.”
Just as Logan was feeling smug, he suddenly felt a hand tapping on his back followed by a voice that sent chills down his spine.
“Mr. Hugh, long time no see. I didn’t think I’d bump into you here.”
Logan immediately turned to look at the person.
He trembled and cold sweat started to break out as he was mind-blown by who he saw.
It’s her!
I can’t believe it’s her!
It was the Red Killer he had sent to poison Hades.
Damn! Didn’t Hadley Murphy get rid of her? Hadley had told me herself!
But why is she standing here right in front of me?
Am I imagining things? Or... Is this her ghost?
Logan started to realize he might’ve been fooled.
The Red Killer smiled, “Mr. Hugh, I have some things that I want to speak to you about. Would you like to talk about it here in front of everyone, or would you like to go somewhere private?”
Logan suddenly realized something. He immediately shouted to his subordinates, “Stop it, all of you!”
The soldier who was about to arrest Zeke immediately stopped and looked at Logan, baffled.
What is boss up to?
Logan said to Harvey, “Mr. Hoffman, she’s a distant relative of mine. There’s an important matter she has to tell me about. I’ll have a word with her and be right back. Please wait for a moment.”
Harvey Hoffman nodded his head thoughtfully.
Based on Logan’s expression, Harvey knew that it wasn’t as simple as Logan had said it to be.
Could it be that there’s going to be further complications?
This feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
Logan glanced at Zeke, “Williams, is this the old friend you were going to introduce to me?”
Zeke nodded.
“Since you know her, come along,” said Logan.
Zeke smiled as he followed Logan.
Suddenly, Lacey grabbed Zeke’s hand and said, “Zeke, I... I’m scared. I’ll follow you.”
Emily shouted immediately, “No way. You can’t go with him. You just want to get away from your crimes. Mr. Hoffman, you have to stop her...”
Zeke gave Emily the stink eye.
Emily staggered and took a step back upon seeing that pair of scary eyes.
She was shocked.
His eyes are terrifying! I swear to god that I’ve never been so scared in my life!
It’s just like... a mouse being preyed on by a cat.
Logan Hugh was right. This man really is a monster.
