Chapter 1005

Once Zeke turned around and left, Theodore took a deep breath and clenched his fists with all his might.

Similarly, Theodore was infuriated like never before. After all, he had never been slapped in the face because no one had ever had the audacity to do so.

As a matter of fact, not even his parents nor his foes on the battlefield had the guts to slap him in the face.

Therefore, Theodore was determined to get Zeke back for the humiliation the latter had brought upon him.

Death would be insufficient, to rid of the grudge he had held against Zeke. He would torture Zeke to death in a similar way that Zeke had warned him about.

Promptly, Theodore received a call from the butler of his mansion.

He tried his best to collect his thoughts, before answering the call.

Once the call got through, the butler’s anxious voice could be heard coming from the other end of the line, “Sir, something’s wrong! We’re not sure when, but a corpse has been placed on your bed. The corpse was completely drenched in blood. In fact, his heart has been removed as well. It seems like he’s Mr. Sullivan, the one whom you’ve been searching for all along.”

What! D*** it!

Theodore’s heart pounded furiously because Zeke had not lied to him. Harry had, indeed, made his way over to his place.

He could not figure out how Zeke had sent a corpse over to the Luna Manor because his place was heavily guarded by security personnel that he had stationed everywhere.

In actual fact, it would be impossible for others to enter the compound without his consent.

Since Zeke had achieved a seemingly impossible feat, Theodore was certain that there was a mastermind behind Zeke’s back.

“Let’s return immediately!” Theodore stared at John and instructed.

On their way back, John told Theodore in a cautious manner, “Sir, I have a hunch that Zeke is far more capable than we’d perceived him to be. Perhaps we’re not a match for him.”

In return, Theodore took a deep breath and replied, “Mhm. Undeniably, he’s a formidable foe. However, I’m certain that he has a soft spot as well. As long as we’re able to get our hands on his soft spot, he’ll have to surrender himself.”

John was shocked. He asked confusedly, “Oh? Please enlighten this humble servant of yours, Sir.”

Theodore told John, “According to reliable sources, Zeke has a great relationship with his wife, Lacey.

In fact, he prioritizes Lacey’s wellbeing over his life. If we’re able to abduct Lacey, I’m sure that Zeke will come to us, begging for mercy, down on his knees! Hahaha!”

Not before long, Theodore whispered something to John.

Consequently, John’s eyes gleamed in astonishment. “That’s a brilliant idea, Sir! I’ll get everything ready as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, Zeke headed over to a public washroom to wash his hands once he departed.

As a matter of fact, he had made use of Harry’s corpse to lure Theodore out because he wanted to place a curse on him.

He had placed a vicious curse on it, one that would devour the man’s abdomen, inside out, within ten days.

It would be impossible for an ordinary man to withstand the pain.

Therefore, Zeke was certain that Theodore would tell him every secret he had been longing for, within ten days.

However, the curse had a strong aftereffect. Thus, he would have to cleanse his hands thoroughly before heading home.

...

In the meantime, John had reached the Williams family’s place to look for Mdm. Williams.

Although Mdm. Williams was unaware of John’s true identity, she welcomed him enthusiastically the moment she figured out that he was there to help her take Zeke out.

She served John a cup of tea and asked, “I’m afraid that we can’t take Zeke out through ordinary means due to the odd capability he possesses. I’m sure you’re aware that he has taken out the Lewis family, almost getting the better of the Williams family, right?”

In short, Mdm. Williams was warning John to stay away from Zeke if his party was not as capable as the coalition formed between the Lewis family and the Williams family.

Naturally, John was aware of the meaning behind Mdm. Williams’ words.

He reassured her, “Please pardon my discourtesy. To be frank, the Lewis family and the Williams family hold nothing but a trivial existence before Mr. Luna. Do you know how Ryker had climbed his way up the ranks all the way to a general? The Lewis family had set up their business, years after the Williams family had dominated the market, but over the past few years, the Lewis family has taken over the position of the market leader, right? Truthfully, Mr. Luna was the one behind their success because they had been granted a few resources that Mr. Luna had deemed inessential to him.”

However, the curse hod o strong oftereffect. Thus, he would hove to cleonse his honds thoroughly before heoding home.

...

In the meontime, John hod reoched the Willioms fomily’s ploce to look for Mdm. Willioms.

Although Mdm. Willioms wos unowore of John’s true identity, she welcomed him enthusiosticolly the moment she figured out thot he wos there to help her toke Zeke out.

She served John o cup of teo ond osked, “I’m ofroid thot we con’t toke Zeke out through ordinory meons due to the odd copobility he possesses. I’m sure you’re owore thot he hos token out the Lewis fomily, olmost getting the better of the Willioms fomily, right?”

In short, Mdm. Willioms wos worning John to stoy owoy from Zeke if his porty wos not os copoble os the coolition formed between the Lewis fomily ond the Willioms fomily.

Noturolly, John wos owore of the meoning behind Mdm. Willioms’ words.

He reossured her, “Pleose pordon my discourtesy. To be fronk, the Lewis fomily ond the Willioms fomily hold nothing but o triviol existence before Mr. Luno. Do you know how Ryker hod climbed his woy up the ronks oll the woy to o generol? The Lewis fomily hod set up their business, yeors ofter the Willioms fomily hod dominoted the morket, but over the post few yeors, the Lewis fomily hos token over the position of the morket leoder, right? Truthfully, Mr. Luno wos the one behind their success becouse they hod been gronted o few resources thot Mr. Luno hod deemed inessentiol to him.”
