Zeke and Wolf’s Greed were both somber as they asked, “What did he tell you?”
Harry answered, “Something along the lines of Black Pentagon or Silver Triangle. He also said things like core and Atheville. I wasn’t quite sure what I heard.”
Zeke was quick to make out what he meant. “The core characters of the Black Pentagon are in Atheville. The real boss of Black Pentagon is someone from Atheville.”
Wolf’s Greed nodded. “That’s very possible.”
Zeke took a deep breath. “Yes. It seems like we’ve made the right decision to come to Atheville. Wolf’s Greed, send all your manpower to Atheville. When we find out who’s the boss of Black Pentagon with the letter, we’ll be able to use your men immediately.”
Wolf’s Greed nodded. “Noted. I’ll make arrangements now.”
Zeke muttered, “Let’s go. Which of the four major families in Atheville have we not come across yet?”
Wolf’s Greed replied, “Wayde Jenkins of the Jenkins family.”
Harry hurried said, “Hold on.”
Both Zeke and Wolf’s Greed’s footsteps faltered as they turned to look at him.
Harry continued, “Young Master, the ancestors of the Jenkins family had been masters of poison that the royal family employed. They have passed down their poisoning skills and recipes for hundreds of years. The current generation is very skilled at handling poison. If you go to the Jenkins’ residence, do not drink their water nor eat their food. Don’t touch anything in their house either to avoid getting poisoned.”
Zeke laughed, “Is that so? I’d like to take a look for myself.”
Wolf’s Greed was also laughing.
That was because besides being the Great Marshal, he was also the Divine Doctor!
Poison was part of medicine too.
There was no greater man in Eurasia who was well-versed in poison than him.
Harry continued, “I clearly remember that on the day of Frederick’s death, the eldest son of the Jenkins family, Shade Jenkins, had come to Garden Grove Clinic to purchase some common drugs. If those drugs were taken separately, there would be no side effects. However, if they were taken together, it would become a lethal poison that would cause death in a matter of minutes. Yet, these drugs were digested easily. In a short moment, the human body would absorb the contents, and the test would not show traces of the drugs. I suspect that Shade had given these drugs to Helen, and Helen had poisoned Frederick.”
A dangerous glint were in Zeke and Wolf’s Greed’s eyes.
So Hunting Wolf was most likely poisoned.
They had to give them a taste of their own medicine!
At the Jenkins’ residence in Atheville.
The head of the family, Wayde Jenkins, loved lively environments. He had set a rule in the family, stating that there would be a family dinner every night, where all of the members of the Jenkins family had to attend.
The Jenkins family was an old family, and they had many descendants.
Every night, the members of the Jenkins family would have to be seated in two large tables.
Now, the sumptuous dishes were already served, but none of the family members were seated.
That was because their grandfather, Wayde, had yet to arrive. Thus, no one would dare to sit down before he did.
Finally, Wayde came down the stairs as the crowd watched in anticipation.
The children of the Jenkins family swiftly greeted, “Good evening, Grandfather.”
When Wayde looked at them, he smiled, feeling satisfied.
His favorite grandson, Shade, quickly walked toward him and supported him.
“Grandfather, there is something I wish to tell you,” Shade said to him.
Wayde nodded. “Go ahead.”
Shade continued, “I’ve just gotten news that Xander has been buried alive, Joseph has died from a fall, and Patrick has been tortured by the devil too. That devil had chopped Patrick fifty times while he was conscious. However, every blow had avoided his vital points, so Patrick was still alive by the end of it. He’s now in the ICU, but I don’t know if he’s dead or alive.”
Without a doubt, the devil that Shade mentioned was Zeke.
What?
Wayde’s hands shuddered.
What a cruel devil!
If you want revenge, you should just kill him. Why did you have to leave him alive to suffer?
Every night, the members of the Jenkins family would have to be seated in two large tables.
