Chapter - 246

Sam looked at the food Logan had brought him but did not eat it.

He had witnessed his superior trying to poison T-Rex, their once companion, to apprehend Zeke.

It wouldn’t be hard to imagine that Logan would do the same thing to Sam as well.

The only person any prisoner could trust was himself.

After Logan had returned to his room, he looked around to make sure he was alone before making a phone call.

“Hades, boss has a mission for you.”

On the other side of the phone was a 60 years old man with a compassionate expression.

The elderly man was no other than the underground lord of Rivermouth, Hades.

He was the person who controlled the leaders of all ten cities in Rivermouth, including T-Rex.

There were two reasons Hades could maintain his position for more than thirty years. One was because the way he handled things was extraordinary. The other was because he had someone supporting him.

Hades and Logan both served the same person.

“What’s the mission?” Hades asked.

“The Great General of the North will be coming to Oakheart City soon. I’m tasked with welcoming him,” Logan explained. “The most expensive hall in the city right now is no other than the Love in a Fallen City that’s under construction. I want you to take over the construction and use it to welcome the general as soon as it’s done.”

Logan hung up right away, not giving Hades any chance to refuse.

Hades could only stare at his phone as he smiled bitterly.

“This rascal wants me to interfere with the most important project of the city…”

“What are you planning to do?” a skinny elderly man standing next to Hades asked.

That elderly man was a person as famous as Hades in the underworld, Eclipse. Hades couldn’t have taken over the whole state if not for Eclipse’s help.

Even though they were master and servant, their relationship was as close as real brothers.

“You and I have seen what Zeke Williams is capable of.” Hades smiled. “He took down three hundred people with only twenty of his. That’s a talent that can only be seen once in a thousand years. I originally thought of having him take over you and me when we retire… But it looks like Logan is set on taking his revenge. There’s no way he’s going to approve it. He wants us to take Zeke down.”

“I thought Logan never mentioned Zeke Williams in the call?” Eclipse frowned.

“But his intention was clear,” Hades sighed. “He tried to use T-Rex to take Zeke down the hard way. He even tried to kill T-Rex for that purpose so that he could force us to help him. What he did not expect was for Zeke to turn the tide and save T-Rex. Now, he wants us to take over the Love in a Fallen City… That’s Zeke’s project. How are we going to do that? Logan is just forcing us to get on Zeke’s bad side.”

“You’re right… So, what will you choose?”

“Well, we don’t have to face Zeke head-on. There’s another way to do this.”

“What’s that?”

Hades smiled wryly and called his assistant.

“Spread the news that the Great General of the North will be coming to Oakheart City soon. We will be hosting a welcoming ceremony in Love in a Fallen City. Anyone who can get their hands on the construction right gets to have a meal with the general.”
