Chapter - 222

Sam’s eyes widened. “Mr. Hugh, are you telling me to kill T-Rex and frame Zeke? I can’t do that! Killing a person is too much for me!”

“Useless! How can you be successful if you can’t do such a small thing like this?” Logan scolded. “Don’t worry. You’ll be well rewarded. Once things are done, I’ll promote you to a second lieutenant!”

The title moved Sam. If he were to become a second lieutenant, he wouldn’t be far from a colonel or even a general.

Sam steeled his heart. “I’ll do it then!”

“That’s my apprentice!” Logan laughed. “We only have to sacrifice a pawn to kill a general. Isn’t that worth it?”

Sam arrived at the Oakheart Prison just 30 minutes shy of midnight.

He’d paid the guards beforehand and easily went to where T-Rex was locked in.

Only two people were in the damp cell.

One was T-Rex, and Sam guessed that the other was T-Rex’s subordinate.

The subordinate was facing the wall and snoring loudly.

As for T-Rex, he sat near the door with a depressed look on his face.

When T-Rex saw Sam arrived, he jumped up excitedly. “Mr. Clemons! You’re finally here! Please ask Mr. Hugh to get me out!”

“Don’t worry. Mr. Hugh has already thought of a way to rescue you,” Sam assured. “I’m here on his order to tell you our plan.”

“What’s the plan? Tell me!”

“All you have to do is to accuse Zeke of burning down your building in court,” Sam explained. “Tell them you and a dozen of your men witnessed Zeke doing it. Since your building had already burned down, you and your people were left with nowhere to go but to ask Zeke to repair your building. That was when Zeke decided to take down all of your men.”

“W-will this work?” T-Rex asked cautiously.

“Are you doubting Mr. Hugh?” Sam scolded.

“Of course not!” T-Rex quickly shook his head.

“Good,” Sam nodded and gave T-Rex some foods. “Here, you must be starving. Don’t tell anyone about my visit today.”

“Of course,” T-Rex nodded.

After making sure that T-Rex had taken a bite of the food, Sam left.

Only then did the ‘subordinate’ who had been snoring loudly get up and warn T-Rex, “I wouldn’t eat that if I were you.”

T-Rex jumped in surprise as he half-recognized the voice. It sounded like Sole Wolf.

T-Rex’s eyes widened as he stared at the other man. “Wh-who are you?”

Since the man had had his back to T-Rex the whole time, the former underground lord never got the chance to see his face.

The man slowly turned and showed his face.

Indeed, he was no other than Sole Wolf himself.

“Help…” T-Rex shouted as he ran to the door.

But Sole Wolf stopped him halfway and covered his mouth. “Quiet! I’m here to save you. If I really wanted to kill you, would I really need to wait until now?”

T-Rex was stunned. Sole Wolf’s words made sense.

“I’m going to let you go, so keep your mouth shut!” Sole Wolf warned. “Or else I’m really going to kill you.”

T-Rex nodded and Sole Wolf let him go.

“Why are you trying to save me when you’re the one who got me in here?” T-Rex asked in a low voice.

“I’m not here to get you out of here. I’m here to save your life,” Sole Wolf replied.

“My life? I’m not in danger.” T-Rex was dumbfounded.

“You’re even worse than an idiot!” Sole Wolf laughed.
