Everybody believed that a mysterious and powerful organization had begun targeting Eastend!
Nobody even suspected Zeke in the slightest bit.
This was because in their opinion, Zeke simply wasn’t capable of exterminating the Thirteen Guardians overnight!
All of a sudden, Eastend’s underworld flew into a panic.
More than ten thousand thugs signed a petition requesting Reuben Mack to come out and give a statement.
However, there was no response on Reuben’s side.
In fact, nobody could even get in touch with him. It was as though he had just vanished from the face of the earth.
......
At that moment, Hadley discreetly brought a lanky masked man to Grand Empire Group.
Upon setting eyes on the masked man, Zeke grinned. “I knew Rosie would help me.”
“Well, the Leader told me to ask you this,” Hadley said, “Why did you leave without a word back at the Heavenly Water District?”
“I had a duty to protect my country,” Zeke explained.
“Haha, you sure do know how to blow your own horn,” Hadley scoffed.
“Alright, I’ll leave the two of you for a chat now.”
Zeke then turned to the masked man and instructed, “Take off the veil.”
The man did as he said!
In truth, Zeke felt his heart skip a beat after he saw the man’s face.
If he hadn’t personally ended Reuben yesterday, he would have thought that the man standing before him was truly Reuben Mack.
He’s the spitting image of Reuben! And he’s even got Reuben’s aura as well!
Rosie’s disguising techniques have truly lived up to its name.
Alas, Rosie had no intentions on passing down her techniques. They’re most probably going to be lost to history.
“Do you know who you’re supposed to be?” Zeke ventured.
“One of Mr. Quin’s right-hand men, Reuben Mack. Everybody addresses him as T-Rex, but he just calls himself Reuben in the presence of Mr. Quin.”
“He seems to be on good terms with Gavin Zachary, but in truth, both of them are at loggerheads with each other. On the contrary, he’s quite close with Sim Owens...”
Satisfied, Zeke nodded his head. “Good. Then do you know why you were sent here today?”
‘Reuben’ replied, “The Thirteen Guardians have committed all kinds of atrocities and have provided aid to some really nasty people. For the sake of the people in Eastend, I killed all thirteen of them.”
“Now I have come to awakening so I have decided to give up on this dark path I am on and join you in the light. I will help eradicate all villains at Eastend.”
“I’m glad that you’ve turned over a new leaf. Good for you!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Boss,” fake Reuben replied.
Zeke was rather satisfied with how fake Reuben had addressed him. “Alright, now get to work,” Zeke instructed.
“After this, you’ll become the real Reuben Mack. I’ll put you in charge of the underworld forces here.”
“Thank you so much, Boss,” fake Reuben cried, “I will do anything you ask of me!”
That same day, another piece of news shocked Eastend.
The true leader of Eastend’s underworld, Reuben Mack, came forward to claim that he was the one who killed the Thirteen Guardians.
Furthermore, he announced that he would no longer serve Mr. Quin and would join Zeke Williams instead.
His announcement immediately unleashed complete mayhem within Eastend’s underworld.
In the past, Eastend’s underworld forces had been split into two factions. One of them was led by Reuben, while the other was under the care of the Thirteen Guardians.
After the Thirteen Guardians’ subordinates learned about this, they immediately retaliated against the other faction.
As a result of the clashes, much blood was spilled, and many lives were lost.
Furthermore, there were quite a few large-scale gunfights between both factions.
As a result, all of Eastend’s underworld forces were in ruins. It certainly looked like the end for the underworld.
After that, the usually calm and composed Mr. Quin finally lost his cool.
First, Zeke had swindled Gavin out of 10 billion.
Now, Zeke had killed the Thirteen Guardians, won over Reuben Mack and caused him to lose his control over the underworld forces.
His status in Eastend was now hanging in a very precarious position.
Gnashing his teeth together, he snarled, “Damn you, Williams!”
“I’m going to tear you apart myself this time.”
