Chapter - 137

At the Provincial Military District, Logan wasn’t sent to the military court. He was released after paying the penalty.

He thought the old leader backing him had spoken up to bail him out.

But little did he know that Zeke was deliberately breeding calamity for the future.

As soon as he came out, he brook no delay and looked for his apprentice, Sam Clemons, Emily’s younger brother.

Sam had long been clear about the hows and whys of this matter.

As soon as he met Logan, he expressed his loyalty and said, “Master, how dare that bastard hit you? It’s a crime for which even death cannot atone!”

“Should I send someone to teach him a lesson?”

Logan shook his head. “Teaching him a lesson is too easy a punishment for him.”

“I want to make him lose his wealth and show him that beating me will cost him a bloody fortune!”

“Master, could it be that you already have a retaliation plan in mind?” Sam asked.

Logan nodded. “That’s right.”

“But since I’ve just been released, it’s inconvenient for me to show myself right now. You will have to take full responsibility for this revenge plan.”

Sam nodded. “No problem. Just leave it to me, master. I’ll definitely seek justice for you this time.”

Logan smiled in relief, signaling Sam to come closer as he mumbled in his ears.

After a while, a hideous supercilious smile appeared on Sam’s face. “What a brilliant idea, master. You’re throwing a spat to catch a mackerel!”

“Let’s see if you survive this time, Zeke Williams!”

On that same day, Sam left the army on the ground of ‘going home to visit his relatives’.

But instead of going straight home, he headed directly to ‘the Hill village’ and looked for a villager named Jayden Hill.

Jayden was a soldier who served under Logan but had later violated discipline and was discharged early.

After he was demobilized, he had returned to his hometown, the Hill village, and became a village bully.

All these years, he had kept in touch with Logan and had helped him with some shady business.

When he learned that Sam was sent by Logan, he warmly invited Sam to his house.

“Mr. Clemons, I wonder what instructions you have brought with you from Officer Hugh this time,” Jayden asked respectfully after serving tea.

“I heard the Hill village will be demolished soon?” Sam asked.

Jayden nodded. “Yes. The Love in a Fallen City project has caused a sensation in the entire province. As the developer wants to occupy the land of our village.”

“Officer Hugh wants you to obstruct the demolition,” Sam stated.

Jayden looked stunned. “Officer Hugh is also interested in this land?”

Sam shook his head. “Officer Hugh doesn’t give a damn about this piece of broken land.”

“You should have heard of the enmity between Officer Hugh and the person-in-charge of the Love in a Fallen City project, right? Officer Hugh wants to make a move on the project.”

“This piece of land is the most important land for the project. Without this land, the Love in a Fallen City project will have to be aborted.”

“By then, the person-in-charge will have violated the contract with the Schneider family. They will have to rot in jail or even go bankrupt!”

Jayden’s teeth clenched. “This bastard must surely die for offending Officer Hugh!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Clemons. The villagers have always resented the demolition. Coupled with my deterrent power, they will certainly not be able to take this place down.”

Sam patted Jayden’s shoulders. “Do your best. Officer Hugh said you’ll be rewarded handsomely if you complete this task.”

Jayden flushed with excitement. “Thank you very much, Officer Hugh.”

Sam gave him a few more instructions and left in a flurry.

He had to rush to his next destination and map out the next plan.

Meanwhile, Zeke was reviewing a document at home.

It was the information Lone Wolf had sent regarding Logan’s network in the army.

Zeke wanted to analyze who in his network of contacts was as treacherous as he was.

Just as he was busy, Lacey called.

“Zeke, hurry over to the Hill village. Dawnie may be in danger.”
