John replied, “After Zeke arrived, all he’s been doing is avenging his fellow comrade.”
“Oh?” This piqued the boss’ interest. “Avenging his comrade? Tell me more.”
“Zeke suspects that his comrade, Frederick Walters, has been killed by the four most prominent families in
Atheville. He’s now relentlessly pursuing each of those families and seeking justice for his fallen comrade. The heir
of the Moore family has been buried alive by him, and the other three will probably suffer the same fate.”
The boss nodded in understanding. “I see. So, this means Zeke came to Atheville not for me, but those four most
prominent families.”
A sardonic smile formed on his lips as he chuckled. “Four most prominent families? Are they even worthy of being
called prominent? They probably won’t be able to escape being wiped out of existence.”
A calculating light filled his eyes as he ordered, “Listen up, secretly get in touch with those four families and offer
them our help. The best is if they can get rid of Zeke Williams for us, but if they fail, we’ll have to release the
Deicide and let them do the deed. Extensive preparation would eventually pay off. Besides, it’s about time I get my
money’s worth from them.”
Little did he know that seeking justice for his fallen comrade was only part of Zeke’s agenda.
The main purpose of his arrival was to collect a letter that contained the details about his identity from Helen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Zelly Mansion was originally known as the Walters Manor.
Ever since Helen Zelly had ‘inherited’ the compound from Frederick, she had renamed it.
It was a rare place where Helen could be this idle. Hence, she sat beside the pond, feeding the koi fish.
Koi fish weren’t intelligent enough to know their limits. They would eat whenever there was food until they were
eventually stuffed to death.
Helen couldn’t suppress her giggles as she watched the fish die one after another, their carcasses floating towards
the water surface with their bellies up.
She enjoyed the feeling of having power over others’ lives; it made her feel invincible.
Just as a euphoric smile stretched across her lips, a helicopter abruptly flew overhead.
The helicopter hovered over the pond. Its door opened right before a sack was thrown out of it.
F***!
Helen’s face drained of all color, and she swiftly dodged out of the way.
Boom!
The sack dropped into the pond, blasting the water in the pond a few meters high, just like how a bomb would.
A koi had flown out and landed on Helen’s head, leaving fragments of its scales on her face.
A miserable-looking Helen was incensed. “Which b****** dares to mess with the Zelly family?”
A disturbance of this magnitude had attracted the attention of many of the other Zellys and servants. They all
quickly came over to see what it was all about.
“What happened?”
“Was there an explosion here?”
Helen gnashed her teeth together and gritted out, “Son of a b****! Someone came on a helicopter and threw a
sack into the pond.”
Everyone immediately looked towards the pond.
Shocked gasps quickly followed after.
There was indeed a sack floating in the pond.
Blood was leaking from it, staining half of the pond water a crimson red.
A horrifying thought emerged in everyone’s minds. There can’t be a person in the sack, can there?
A horrifying thought emerged in everyone’s minds. There can’t be a person in the sack, can there?
This revelation left everyone paralyzed with shock, and a commotion broke out among the crowd that had
gathered.
“What’s with the fuss?” Helen snapped. “Security, go and get it.”
Although the security guard was frightened, he bit the bullet and dragged the sack out of the water.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe whole sack was already completely soaked red with blood by then.
“Open it,” Helen instructed.
The security guard gingerly untied the rope binding the top of the sack.
As soon as the sack opening was unraveled, a pile of flesh and blood spilled out. It was a terrifying and gory sight.
Some of the servants instantly turned away from the gruesome sight and threw up.
There was definitely a dead person inside.
A chill ran down Helen’s spine. “F***! I’ll make whoever did this pay for throwing a body into my house!”
“Joseph, mobilize all our forces to investigate this matter. Let’s see which m*****f***er was bold enough to do
something like this.”
However, no response came.
A timid voice uttered, “Mr. Zelly went out in the morning, and hasn’t come back since.”
“Huh?” Confusion was sprawled across Helen’s face. “That’s impossible. He sent me a text earlier saying that he
already came back.”
Suddenly, her eyes widened in realization. “Wait...”
She whipped her head towards the sack with a horror-stricken expression. With a trembling voice, she ordered,
“Quick. Take the body out of the sack.”
