Only then did Shannon realize she had misunderstood Zeke.
He hadn’t left them to fend for themselves. In fact, he had sent someone here to protect them.
Confused, Zeke asked, “Who’s Little Beggar?”
Hudson hastily explained, “It’s a long story. Oh, that’s right, there’s a b****** who’s coming over soon. You better
make some room. I’m going to give him a lesson that he’ll never forget.”
“B******? What b******?”
Feeling very awkward, Shannon hastily changed the subject, “Er...let’s forget about that. Mr. Williams, come take a
look at my grandfather.”
Unbeknownst to her, she had unconsciously started addressing him as ‘Mr. Williams’ instead of just ‘Williams’.
Upon hearing that, Zeke hastily rushed forward to take a look at Paul.
Once he was done, the expression on his face grew serious.
“Part of the poison in your grandfather’s body has been activated,” Zeke concluded gravely, “It’s now attacking his
brain, veins and many other vital organs. If we don’t do anything and allow his mind to remain dormant, he might

“But if I were to commence treatment now, he might come around. However, he’ll probably only last a couple of
minutes, maybe even only a couple of seconds. That’s because once there is more activity in his brain, the poison
will attack his brain even more ferociously and cause him to die faster,” Zeke added,
What?
Shannon looked as though she had just been struck by lightning. She slumped into her chair.
An apologetic look flashed across Hudson’s face. “I’m really sorry, Zeke. It’s my fault that this happened. I had
originally thought that the enemy wouldn’t be able to hurt him as long as they stayed outside. Little did I know...”
An apologetic look flashed across Hudson’s face. “I’m really sorry, Zeke. It’s my fault that this happened. I had
originally thought that the enemy wouldn’t be able to hurt him as long as they stayed outside. Little did I know...”
Patting Hudson on the shoulders, Zeke assured him, “It’s not your fault. I was the one who didn’t tell you about
that.”
He then turned towards Shannon and said gently, “Shannon, before you make your decision, I have to tell you
something.”
“John was the one who Voodooed your grandfather. And the man he’s working for is this scoundrel that I’ve been
investigating. The only reason that he would go to such lengths to kill your grandfather would be that your
grandfather had dug up something that he didn’t want anybody to know about. If your grandfather were to die just
like that, that secret is going to follow him to his grave.”
“But if we can get him to come around, even for just a few minutes, he will be able to tell us this secret. Then, we
would be able to incriminate that scoundrel and undo the damage he’s done! Whether your grandfather lives for a
few more days or comes around just for another few minutes is entirely up to you,” He added.
After a moment’s hesitation, Shannon steeled her heart and said, “Grandpa has always been incredibly loyal to his
country. He would do anything to protect this land and the people on it. If he were to really bring this secret to his
grave, I think that his soul will never truly be put to rest.”
“Wake him up, even if it is just for a few seconds,” Shannon said decidedly.
Great!
Zeke proceeded to give Paul and Shannon a salute before he pulled out his needles and started performing
acupuncture on Paul.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a nerve-wracking procedure, Paul suddenly spat out some blood, and his body started convulsing. His eyes
shot open as he made an effort to sit up.
Zeke hastily stopped him. “Mr. Hunt, your body is still too weak. You shouldn’t move about too much.”
“Do you have something to say?”
Paul mustered every last bit of his strength and croaked, “The Black Pentagon... Drugs... Firearms...”
Hmph?
Zeke’s brows furrowed.
Has Paul been investigating the Black Pentagon back when he went to Queenstown?
The Black Pentagon was this place in Queenstown that was known all over the world for its lawlessness.
Nearly 70% of drugs and firearms within Eurasia’s borders came from that place.
Furthermore, more than 50% of the world’s grey goods came from there.
However, the mysterious master of the Black Pentagon was a very powerful person. That master even had his or
her own private army.
That was why the Black Pentagon problem had been unresolved for so many years!
“Mr. Hunt,” Zeke reminded him, “Please keep it simple. You only have a few minutes, maybe even only a few
seconds.”
