Zeke’s sinister smile sent shivers down Jerry’s spine.
His smile was scarier than the devil’s.
Jerry turned and lifted his gun, ready to shoot.
Suddenly, Zeke’s hand flitted past him.
In the next instant, the gun that had been gripped so tightly in Jerry’s hand was suddenly in Zeke’s.
Zeke raised the gun and aimed it at Jerry with a sigh. “I wanted to break all four of your limbs today. Since there are only two bullets left, I guess I’ll have to settle for breaking your legs and one arm.”
Hold on. Two bullets? Why did he name three limbs?
Never mind that. He’s going to hurt me!
Jerry Lewis suddenly yelled, “You can’t touch me! I’m from the esteemed Lewis family. My brother is a general! If you harm any family members of a general, you’ll be sentenced to death.”
Zeke Williams scoffed. “A general? Generals are nothing to me.”
Jerry gritted his teeth. “How dare you ridicule generals?”
Bang! Bang!
Two loud gunshots cut Jerry Lewis’ spiel off.
Both of his kneecaps were cleanly shot through. Blood poured from the two wounds.
He collapsed immediately.
Zeke casually tossed the pistol toward Jerry’s shoulder; his arm broke with a loud crack.
Jerry had been pampered since he was young. He’d never experienced such pain. His loud shriek of agony echoed within the hall.
This is so annoying!
Zeke tsk-ed in annoyance and picked Jerry up with one hand before opening up the coffin lid and throwing him inside.

The noise was finally diminished.
Zeke’s cold gaze switched toward the two bodyguards who had followed Jerry here.
The two of them immediately started to panic.
How could Zeke Williams be faster than bullets?
He could even throw a pistol, but the force matched that of a gunshot.
He was one hell of an opponent, and there was no way they could beat him.
If they did, they would probably get injured as badly as Jerry. That would mean they would never be able to show their faces to the Lewis family any more.
Zeke Williams said, “Carry Jerry Lewis back. Let the head of the Lewis family know that in three days, he should come and apologize to me. If he does that, I might forgive him for sending me to jail. If I don’t get an apology, then every single member of the Lewis family will be sentenced to ten years in jail.”
The two bodyguards hurried off with the coffin.
Zeke Williams looked at the mess in front of him and told the workers, “Clean up the place. Don’t let Lacey notice anything, or she’ll be worried.”
Since Lacey was out on business matters, she had yet to witness anything.
Back at the Lewis family home, Conrad Lewis didn’t know how to react when the housekeeper told him that a pistol and five bullets had been taken from their storage.
He sighed. “Jerry must have taken a gun with him. I wanted Zeke Williams to take his own life, but if Jerry goes ahead and kills him, the Lewis family will truly lose face. We’ll become the butt of all jokes!”
Robin Lewis said, “Dad, don’t worry so much. Zeke Williams’ death was our goal in the first place. Who cares how Jerry does it?”
Conrad looked at her lovingly. “You’re right. How’s your engagement with Zach Williams going?”
“We’ve settled almost everything,” Robin replied. “He has proposed to me. I’ll marry into the Williams family the minute I say yes.”
Conrad got excited. “Good. Robin, the fate of the Lewis family and Williams family is in your hands now.”
Robin looked hopeful. “The Williams family is in no way worse off than us financially. If we manage to conquer them, we’ll definitely take over the world!”
As they spoke, Jerry’s two bodyguards walked in with the coffin hoisted over their shoulders.
These two bodyguards were clearly struggling. It was obvious that the coffin held the weight of someone inside.
The Lewis family automatically assumed Zeke Williams was inside the coffin.
Conrad Lewis ran forward and asked, “Did Zeke Williams settle things himself, or was Jerry the one who end him? By the way, where is Jerry?”
