Chapter 381

Zeke led both of them into the general manager’s office.

He sat down without offering a seat to them. Well, they have no right to expect me to give up my seats for them.

Although Hades and Eclipse were resentful of his treatment towards them, they remained silent.

After Zeke sized up Hades for a while, he took out a pen and paper from a drawer and began scribbling on it suddenly. He asked, “Why are both of you looking for me?”

Although they were curious to know what he was writing, they were too polite to ask him.

Hades replied, “We want to cooperate with you. To be precise, we are going to provide you with great benefits.”

“I’m eager to hear more.”

Hades sucked in a deep breath and asked, “I understand that Logan Hugh, the staff officer from Military District, is your enemy?”

Zeke did not raise his head but continued scribbling as he replied, “He is not fit to be my enemy.”

Hades guffawed, “Haha, that is a good reply to claim that he is not fit.”

“To be honest, I have some financial disputes with Logan too. The reason for my visit is to cooperate with you to deal with him together.”

Zeke paused, but he continued scribbling after scrutinizing Hades again, “How do we deal with him?”

Eclipse, on the other hand, was getting infuriated with him.

This guy is arrogant and rude! No one has ever dared to do other things while talking to Hades! He is simply too arrogant!

But he suppressed his anger after a meaningful glance from Hades.

Zeke’s arrogance was just a direct reflection of his abilities.

Thus, Eclipse bit his tongue in time before he lashed out at Zeke Williams.

Hades continued, “Let me ask you. Do you think Rivermouth belongs to Eclipse and me? If you do, then you are wrong. Actually, I have a boss who is controlling both Logan Hugh and me. We are merely pawns in the eyes of our boss. Furthermore, Logan is more powerful than me and has a greater say than me in Rivermouth.”

At that, Zeke raised his head, “Who is your boss?”

Actually, it was easy for Zeke Williams to kill Logan Hugh. The only reason he did not kill him was to

find out the identity of the mysterious boss behind Logan and Hades so that he could exterminate the black sheep of the military.

So, am I finally going to find out the identity of the mysterious boss behind these two men?

It is a thrilling thought indeed.

Hades sighed, “I don’t know... I am not fit to liaise directly with the boss. Normally, we communicate via Logan.”

Zeke’s face fell with disappointment, and he only managed to utter a single ‘Oh’.

Then, Hades continued, “Actually, Logan Hugh wants to snatch the control of the underworld forces in Rivermouth. But as I have something on him, he dared not push his luck. Because of this, Rivermouth’s underworld forces have been rather peaceful for the last few decades. But something unexpected has happened - I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Once I’m gone, Logan will definitely attempt to control the Rivermouth’s underworld forces. At that time, all my close friends and family will be in life danger. So I can’t die, or at least, Logan must not know that I’m dead so that he will be mindful of the hold I have over him.”

Hades was getting more agitated as he continued, “I have made up my mind. Before I die of my illness, I must find a place to hide and to die in. Of course, I will announce to everyone that I have gotten sick of fighting, thus have chosen to retire. So long as Logan does not know about my death, he will not dare to snatch over Rivermouth’s underworld forces.”
