The four household leaders were filled with remorse. “We’re sorry, John. We weren’t capable enough to take Zeke
down. Please have Mr. Theodore make a move on his own and defeat Zeke.”
“Yeah,” John replied. “I’ll let Master Theodore know about this. Wait for my news. By the way, are you sure you’ve
never let anyone see this letter?”
Helen and the others immediately nodded. “I swear on my life that no one else apart from the four of us has seen
this letter. If we’re lying, may we be struck by lightning.”
John nodded. “Okay. That’s good to know.”
Then, he quickly left.
Yet, what he didn’t realize was that ever since he stepped inside Helen’s place, a shadow had been following him.
John moved quickly and arrived at the center of a busy street.
Then, after scanning the place and making sure no one was paying attention to him, he made his way into a
mansion known as the Luna Manor.
This was his boss’ headquarters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeing able to own a mansion in a prime location like this was proof of how powerful the man was.
Of course, this place still paled out in comparison to the entire building.
The Luna Manor was an old building equivalent to an antique. Any one of the pillars made of Phoebe zhennan cost a
fortune as they are invaluable.
As John walked in, the shadow that had been secretly following him finally stepped out and stretched lazily.
“This son of a b*tch sure is rich. When I take your house apart, I’m going to grab one of these Phoebe zhennan
pillars and make some good money.”
The shadow belonged to none other than Wolf’s Greed.
He had been ordered by Zeke to watch every move of the four major households.
The man whipped out his phone and gave Zeke an update.
“Well done. Continue as planned,” said Zeke.
In fact, Zeke had long been aware that if he were to confront the four major households about the letter, they
would either refuse to hand it over or even give him a forged one.
After all, that letter was the only thing that could save their lives.
Handing it over to him was equal to signing their death warrant.
That was why Zeke tried to beat them at their own game, making them seek help from the owner of the letter.
Now, things were playing according to Zeke’s plans.
If there was no mistake, Theodore Luna of the Luna Manor had to be person in charge of the Black Pentagon and
John’s boss.
After playing the long game, the fish had finally taken the bait.
......
After being examined thoroughly, John entered the inner court of the Luna Manor and met his boss, Theodore Luna.
The slightly chubby old man spent the remaining half of his life as a vegetarian who mediated all day.
Even so, he exuded an intimidating presence, sending chills down others’ spines.
John stood before him, not daring to bother him.
Theodore Luna finally glanced at him after he was done meditating. “What’s the matter?”
John immediately knelt and gave his bass a deep bow which was part of a ritual in greeting him.
Theodore Luna came from a royal family that still upheld its old traditions and regulations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter John was done with the ritual, he proceeded to tell him everything that had happened.
Theodore, who was always as steady as a mountain, could no longer remain calm upon hearing the full account of
what happened. His arms began to tremble slightly.
He had never expected that missing letter to end up in the hands of the four major households.
This security loophole had been around all these years without him knowing.
The old man couldn’t imagine what would happen to himself and the entire Luna clan if this letter were to be
exposed.
“Where’s the letter now?” Theodore asked impatiently.
“I’ve burned it.” reassured John.
“Did the four major households leak the contents of the letter?”
“No.”
Theodore felt slightly relieved.
My long-standing reputation was nearly tarnished.
John spoke softly, “Master, the four major households are requesting that you get rid of Zeke with your own hands.
What are your thoughts?”
