Chapter 367
Eclipse was visibly confused as he stared at the other man. “Hades, what are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at how stupid and shortsighted we were.”
“What do you mean?” He was even more lost now.
Hades stated, “Remember what our comments were about Zeke Williams?”
“Reckless, arrogant, talented but conceited.”
Hades nodded. “Now it would seem like he’s both resourceful AND bold. He’s the perfect kind of person for working
in the underworld.”
Eclipse was dumbfounded. He had never heard Hades praise someone so highly before, especially not someone so
young.
He murmured, “So, what do you plan on doing next?”
Hades was silent for a while as he pondered the question. At last, he answered, “I don’t think just the two of us
would be enough for our plan to succeed.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShocked, Eclipse blurted, “Wait, so you mean to invite him to join us in that plan?”
“That’s right.”
Eclipse gasped and replied, “I admit he seems to have some talent but is that enough for him to stand alongside
us?”
“Naturally, he can’t compare to you and I. But you can’t forget that he’s young and has the potential. As long as we
give him a little support, I’m sure he can play an integral role in our plan,” Hades explained.
“Since you seem to think so highly of him, I guess I have nothing else to say.” Eclipse nodded in agreement.
“Good. Then we should have him come over for a talk. This issue is incredibly important and must be discussed face
to face.”
With that said, Hades pulled out his phone and dialed Williams’ number.
The call connected within a few rings.
Zeke’s voice drawled through the phone, “Who is this?”
Deciding honesty was the best policy in this case, Hades replied, “My surname is Yate, but everybody calls me
Hades.”
Surprise leaked through his voice as he asked, “Hades from the capital?”
“Yes.”
“Hah! If you’re Hades, then I’m Zeus!”
Zeke hung up.
Eclipse and Hades stared at each other for a moment, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
“It would seem like he doesn’t believe you would personally call him,” Eclipse commented.
“Yeah.” Hades nodded. “Looks like we’ll have to pay him a visit ourselves.”
The other man nodded as well. “Okay, let’s go. How do you think he’ll react when he finds out we want him to be
one of our equals?”
Hades replied confidently, “He’ll probably feel ashamed of his inferiority and think he doesn’t have the right to hang
around us.”
On the other side of the things, Zeke tossed his phone to the passenger seat beside him. A snort left his lips as he
muttered, “As if the both of you have the right to hang around me!”
He selected a random supermarket nearby and went to buy some gifts before driving towards Whiteridge.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn no time, he arrived at his destination.
He was not in any hurry to get to the tourist destination development project at Whiteridge. No, he was here to visit
his God-fatherrents.
Loaded with his presents, he stepped inside the yard only to halt in shock at the scene before him.
The yard was a mess, with broken flowerpots and glass from the shattered windows littering the ground.
Even the two chickens in the coop had been beheaded, their blood splattered across the walls.
Fury ignited in Zeke.
Damnit! Who the hell dared to do this?He had already shown off his prowess when he obtained the Whiteridge
project, yet some
ba****d had still had the guts to come after his God-fatherrents.
Heart beating faster, he rushed into the house.
The inside was even more badly trashed than the outside. Pots, pans, tableware - everything had been thrown to
the floor, and some of the furniture had been upturned. He spotted Kyle and Olivia busy cleaning up the room.
There was a gash across Olivia’s cheek and fresh blood was still trickling down slowly.
Just the sight of this had Zeke’s heart twisting in pain and the gifts fell from his suddenly numb fingers.
