“The Ferrymen of the Dead have been described as ‘Unparalleled Among All Beneath The Master Rank’,” Hadley said, “Are you trying to tell me that you’re already a Master?”
“Are you Master Williams? The patron saint of Rivermouth?”
Zeke nodded his head. “That’s right.”
“Haha!” Hadley burst out laughing, “You’re hilarious! I am laughing my guts out.”
“......”
All of a sudden, the door opened, Caleb Nolan from Chase Banks walked in.
Upon seeing him, Hadley and her group of assassins immediately went into high alert.
Not too long ago, Chase Bank had joined forces with Gavin Zachary and nearly destroyed Zeke and his family. It was safe to say that they were enemies.
Why did he come here at such a sensitive time? Is he planning to harm Zeke?
Hadley and the gang immediately went into battle mode. “Caleb, what are you doing here?”
“I didn’t think you would be here, Ms. Murphy,” Caleb replied politely.
“I’m here on Sir’s orders to protect Mr. William.”
“What?” Hadley exclaimed, “Aren’t you two enemies? Have you lost your mind?”
“Watch your tongue, Ms. Murphy,” Caleb corrected her hastily. “Chase Bank and I are loyal supporters of Mr. Williams. We’ll do anything he asks of us! How could we be enemies?”
As he spoke, he walked over to Zeke and bowed. “I hope you’ve been well, Mr. Williams.”
Zeke had the Bauhinia Royal Card. He was literally just a phone call away from getting his hands on a trillion.
Right now, Chase Bank really suspected that Zeke was the king of some country.
Thus, they would naturally try to get in his good books.
Holy f***!
Hadley and company’s eyes widened with shock.
What on earth is happening? Are we seeing things?
Chase Bank has actually bowed to Zeke!
How did he pull that off?
How powerful is he?
As expected, the man that caught the eye of the Leader is no ordinary person.
“What are you doing here again?” Zeke said impatiently.
“We received words that the Ferrymen of the Dead are coming after you,” Caleb explained.
“I’m here under the order of the Boss of Chase Bank to protect you, Mr. Williams.”)
“Oh, so you’re a good fighter?” Zeke asked.
Caleb shook his head. “I’m not a good fighter. But our bank has the money. Don’t ever underestimate the power of money, Mr. Williams.”
As he spoke, he unlocked the box he had brought along and opened it up. Inside laid a device that closely resembled a laptop.
“Mr. Williams,” Caleb explained, “This device can be connected to all the banks in Eurasia. And it can also be connected to 546 foreign banks, including the Swedish Bank...”
“Money might not be able to kill a person, but it can certainly buy over one.”
“Ugh,” Zeke sighed, “They’re nothing but two irksome insects. I can defeat them with a wave of my hand. Why are both of you getting so worked up?”
Caleb and Hadley were both speechless.
Mr. Williams has gotten too full of himself.
Just then, the assistant director of Grand Empire Group, Jessie Diaz, burst into the room and cried, “We’ve got a problem, Mr. Williams.”
“We’ve just received news that Sim Owens is rushing here with the Ferrymen of the Dead to make a move on you.”
“Should we close for the day so you can go somewhere to hide this out?”
“You mustn’t panic when you encounter any problem,” Zeke told her, “You should take out your phone and post them on your Moments.”
Everybody was rendered speechless.
“Mr. Williams,” Jessie asked timidly, “I...don’t think I catch your drift. Are you trying to hint to me that I should call the police?”
“There is no pun intended,” Zeke said, “I meant exactly what I said.”
“Everybody, when I crush those two insects under my feet later on. Please feel free to take a photo and post it on your Moments.”
“Come on, I shall take on the role of security guard for today.”
He then proceeded to stride out the room.
Everyone smiled wryly then followed suit.
