With that said, Henry returned to his car with his bodyguards and drove toward Rivermouth.
The moment he left; Hadley crawled out from a corner.
She rolled her eyes in the direction that Henry left and seethed, “F*ck you, Lacey’s mine. How dare you think of laying a finger on her? You can dream on!”
Then, she went to Zeke’s office to report the matter to him.
Zeke sneered, “What a ba****d. He’s a persistent fool. Please go and protect Lacey now.”
Hadley gave a rather mean look to Zeke. “Zeke, don’t worry. Just focus on sending Mr. Quin to hell. I’ll be by Lacey’s side, and I’ll take good care of her for you.”
Zeke was frustrated.
Marrying a pretty wife is troublesome. There are all sorts of people interested in her.
After conquering Eastend, I’m definitely not going to leave my wife’s side anymore.
Time passed swiftly. Soon, it was the day of the duel.
The duel was held in the largest underground boxing arena in Eastend.
This boxing arena once belonged to the Sixth Guardian, and it was a lucrative business.
After his death, many were fighting to gain ownership of the boxing arena.
Fights constantly broke out here. In seven days, there were already six transfers of ownership.
Just yesterday, Draco finally came to calm the situation in the boxing arena and took over the place.
Early in the morning, many from noble families rushed in.
They were the only ones who had gotten tickets to enter the arena.
Many from wealthy families were willing to take up the roles as guards in maintaining order just to get a glimpse of Mr. Quin’s fight.
The two main characters had yet to arrive, but the place was already crowded and lively.
Some had even started betting.
In the morning, Zeke took a shower.
Today, he was going to show off his true powers and lay Mr. Quin to waste as flashy as he could.
Once everything was ready, he drove to the underground boxing arena.
He was halfway there when he suddenly noticed a Land Rover trailing behind him slowly.
Zeke frowned. Who’s following me?
He carefully drove his car toward the quieter areas, planning to flip the other car with a crash to find out what was going on.
Right then, Zeke’s phone rang.
When he glanced at the caller ID and he got emotional.
It was the Leader of the Necromancer Assassin Organization, Rosie White.
Is she willing to forgive me now?
Zeke instantly picked up the call. “Rosie, you’re finally calling me.”
Rosie coldly said, “Keep driving. Don’t stop.”
Zeke froze. “Rosie, are you the one behind me?”
Rosie replied, “Yes.”
Subconsciously, Zeke was about to step on the brakes.
Rosie repeated, “Keep driving. Don’t stop. You have no right to see me now. You can only meet me when you walk out of the boxing arena alive.”
Zeke smiled. It seemed like Rosie was worried that he would be killed by Mr. Quin.
He reassured, “Don’t worry. Mr. Quin isn’t a threat to me yet.”
Rosie huffed, “I’ve already sent someone to poison Mr. Quin. As long as you can last two of his moves on the ring, he will die from the poison.”
Zeke frowned. “You want to poison Mr. Quin? He’s such a careful person. I don’t think it’ll be easy to do that.”
Rosie explained, “He’s wary of outsiders but not the ones by his side. I’ve arranged for his advisor, Draco, to poison him.”
“Draco!” Zeke exclaimed, “Draco is one of your men?”
