“Robert Quinn is truly the big boss around here! No one can threaten his position here.”
“That Zeke Williams is an ignorant fool who doesn't know his place. How dare he offend Mr. Quinn!”
“Now Zeke Williams will rot in hell while he regretted over his actions, am I right?”
The bartender grew solemn as she listened to the ongoing conversation.
She did not have the mood to mix any drinks and said to another female bartender who was taking a break, “Could
you take over my shift? My salary today will be yours.”
The female bartender was pleased with the offer. “Sure, Jenny. I'll treat you to dinner after work.”
The female bartender left after handing over her work.
She made her way through the bar and hurried into the storeroom.
Reaching a corner in the storeroom, she removed the carton of beers blocking her way.
A secret pathway revealed itself after she removed the beers.
The female bartender made her way inside the pathway.

went.
There would be a door every ten meters or so, and there were people guarding every door.
After getting through a few doors, she finally made her way to a spacious underground space.
The place was lavishly furnished, and it seemed like one of those secret underground bases in the movies.
A few young men and women were playing cards in a relaxed manner in the base.
Wendy was among the group of people.
Noticing that the female bartender, Jenny's anxious look, Wendy hurriedly asked, “What happened, Jenny? Why do
you look so anxious?”
Jenny gulped and said, “Good news! I just received the news saying that Zeke, his women, and child are all dead.”
The others felt a chill down their spine as they focused their attention on Jenny, and even threw their cards on the
table as they grew solemn at the announcement.
“Are you sure about this, Jenny? This is really serious.”
Jenny elaborated further, “I just heard it from others at the bar and had not yet verified the news myself.”
Wendy replied, “He is the Great Marshal and exercises great influence. How is it possible that he loses his life that
easily?”
Then, Wendy turned to Jenny and asked, “How did the Great Marshal die?”
“I heard that it was from poison.”
“Everyone is saying that Robert has killed Zeke to avenge for his son.”
Wendy smiled in resignation. “It is impossible for Robert to kill the Great Marshal! This is fake news.”
“I don't think so,” someone said.
“The underworld is full of evil schemes and plots. Maybe the Great Marshal truly did not see it coming and was
poisoned by the man? I think it's better for you to contact Robert to verify the news.”
Wendy nodded her head. “Yes, I'll contact Robert right now.”
Then, Wendy took out her phone and called Robert.
However, the call did not go through.

“Just wait right here. I will go see Robert personally.”

Meanwhile, at the United Group building.
Robert was in a jubilant mood after getting rid of Zeke.
He called for a meeting and pitched his idea about developing the slum district behind the Royal Casino. Then, he
went back to his office and continued to work.
A cold voice rang right after he closed the door of his office.
“Robert, was Zeke Williams' death your doing? Can you confirm that he's dead?”
Dumbfounded, Robert turned to trace the direction of the sound.
After confirming that it was Wendy who had disappeared for days, Robert was enraged.
“Hmph! It's you! How dare you show yourself before me!”
Wendy grew impatient and ordered, “I don't have time to squander. Answer my question.”
