The letter contained the identity of the head of the Black Pentagon, Theodore Luna of Atheville.
Theodore Luna was such a powerful man that the four major households were nothing but ants before him.
Helen carefully took the letter out, as though it weighed a ton.
The fates of the four major households depended on this very document.
“Do you think Theodore Luna would be furious if we were to threaten him with this letter?” asked Wayde.
Damian sighed. “What I worry about most is that he’ll kill all of us for the sake of keeping this information secret.”
Mrs. Moore gritted her teeth. “We’ll have to give it a try no matter what. If we sit here and do nothing, we’ll end up offering our heads to Zeke Williams.”
“But how are we going to show Theodore this letter? We don’t even have a chance to meet him,” said Wayde.
They were very disappointed.
He’s right. How are we going to ask Theodore for help if we can’t even contact him?
Helen suggested, “Do you guys still remember John Connor? The man who voluntarily helped us deal with Zeke. John has a wide connection and holds some power in Atheville. Maybe he can help us talk to Theodore.”
The rest of them slapped their own foreheads. “You’re right! Let’s get John then.”
They hastily invited John Connor over to the Zelly family home.
John arrived half an hour later and asked. “I heard that you guys have requested Drake to deal with Zeke Williams. How did it go?”
Helen hesitated for a moment before answering, “Drake suddenly received an offer to join the army before getting the chance to fight Zeke, so he went to carry out his duties right away.”
If she were to tell John the truth, Theodore would realize just how powerful Zeke was and would not dare to go against him.
John sighed. “I’ve heard that Drake’s been wanting to join the army for a long time, but I didn’t expect him to do so at such a critical time. He is really incompetent and couldn’t be relied on. Anyway, what have you called me over for?”
“If I may ask, do you happen to know who Theodore Luna is?” Helen asked with caution.
John immediately tensed up.
He had never told them that his master was. In fact, he was Theodore Luna.
Why are they suddenly asking about him?
John maintained a calm demeanor and asked, “Yes, I do. Why are you asking about him?”
The rest of them were elated. They quickly handed the letter over and explained the whole situation to him in detail.
John felt like his mind could explode.
Oh my God. The letter Paul Hunt had stolen back then is now in the hands of the four major households.
No wonder Zeke Williams is constantly after them.
It’s not that he wants to avenge his friend, Frederick. He wants to obtain this letter and find out the true identity of boss.
If this letter were to fall into the hands of Zeke, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Have you shown anyone else this letter?” he asked hurriedly.
The four of them shook their heads.
Thank God for that.
John took the letter and burned it.
The four household leaders became frantic when they saw what he did. “What are you doing, John?”
“Don’t panic,” assured John. “Let me explain. The truth is, my boss, happens to be Theodore Luna.”
What?
The four leaders were dumbstruck.
So John really is a somebody.
He’s actually Theodore Luna’s disciple. In that case, it’ll be even easier to get Theodore’s help.
John continued, “To be honest, Zeke Williams has been constantly trying to find out my master’s identity. This makes Master Theodore furious, and that was why he sent me to help you get rid of Zeke.”
