“That’s it? I didn’t take you for a narrow-minded person.” Zeke said in a bored tone. “After finishing the job, how
about I give the whole of Eastend to you lot?”
“Bull****!” Hadley spat.
The other assassins looked at each other, completely stumped.
Mr. Williams doesn’t just have a thick wallet... He certainly has a flair for making up stories that are unique and
refreshing.
Does he think he can claim Eastend, then give it away however he likes?
The Necro Group had worked hard in Eastend for many years before it had earned its rank among the top three.
This guy, who had no power or influence in Eastend, was implying that he could get rid of Mr. Quin.
If this wasn’t bull****, what was?
Eastend was rich in resources, especially timber.
There were many small lumberyards like Redwood Lumberyard in Eastend.
Reuben had long cleared Redwood Lumberyard of other living souls.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly himself and three of his men, along with ten snipers hidden under the cover of the night, were left at the
lumberyard.
Mia had been caught and secured to a stool with her hands tied behind her back. Her mouth was gagged; she
couldn’t move an inch.
She was overwhelmed with guilt and frustration at that moment.
She had initially thought she could save Zeke by surrendering to Mr. Quin.
Little did she know that Reuben would use her to lure Zeke here so that he could end his life.
Sigh. If only I’d known this back then, I would never have jumped off the bridge.
If I didn’t jump, Zeke and I would have nothing to do with each other. He wouldn’t have been brought into this mess.
The reason Reuben had chosen to set things in motion at this hour was because he couldn’t wait to kill Zeke.
This way, he could take Zeke’s corpse over to Mr. Quin early in the morning and claim his reward.
Gavin Zachary had failed to kill Zeke even after trying everything, while I succeeded in just a day. Mr. Quin will
definitely see how much I’m worth from now on.
Reuben glanced at the time and asked his assistant, “Williams will probably be here soon. Are the snipers in
position?”
“Don’t worry. They’re all in position and ready to ambush at any time,” His assistant reassured.
Reuben nodded. “Alright. Go keep watch, and inform me as soon as Zeke Williams arrives.”
The assistant felt slightly uneasy and raised his concern, “Mr. Mack, aren’t we being a little too hasty by bringing
only a few men to deal with Zeke Williams?”
He shifted on his feet before suggesting, “Why don’t we call the Thirteen Guardians over to help?”
Reuben expressed his displeasure and questioned, “What? Are you doubting my capabilities?”
His assistant quickly shook his head in fear. “No, no! But what if something goes wrong...”
“What if?” Reuben cut him off, then scoffed. “Those two words don’t exist in my book.”
“Zeke Williams doesn’t have any authority in Eastend. There’s no one here who would help him. His manpower
from Rivermouth can’t come over here. So, you tell me. Can he get rid of ten snipers at the same time and all on
his own?”
The assistant shook his head. “No, he can’t. Not unless he has ten pairs of eyes and arms.”
“Exactly.” Reuben nodded. “As long as he can’t get rid of all of the snipers at the same time, the surviving ones can

beat him to a pulp.”
The assistant smiled. “Forgive me for being short-sighted due to unfounded worries. The boys and I will be on the
lookout.”
“Tell the snipers not to kill him unless they really have to,” Reuben ordered. “I want that b****** to kneel before Mr.
Quin and atone for his sins before he leaves this world for good.”
“Understood,” The assistant answered.
Mia thrashed angrily against her restraints, trying to make noises to warn Zeke from coming here.
Reuben slapped her hard across the face. “Shut up, or I’ll just take you right here and now.”
In less than ten minutes, an old Santana drove along the narrow path leading to Redwood Lumberyard.
One of the lackeys on the lookout immediately called to notify Reuben. “Mr. Mack, he’s here.”
Zeke abruptly slammed on the brakes and lowered his window to smile at the lackey who was shrouded in the
darkness.
The lackey’s heart almost leapt out of his chest.
What the f***? I made sure I was well-hidden, but how did this guy notice me from his car?
