Chapter 353

“You should have known that General North is here not because of Zeke Williams, but to participate in the death anniversary of the Hinton family.”

“If I had told you that, would you have taken action against Williams?” professed Eclipse after giving it some thought.

“Certainly,” answered Hades as he nodded.

“That’s the reason why I hesitated to tell you the truth.”

“You didn’t want me to make a move against him?” asked Hades.

Eclipse nodded his head.

“But why?”

“We have indirectly confronted Williams three times, and each time, we’d suffered defeat.”

“Up until present, we still don’t know what we’re dealing with.”

“I can’t see through him and I am terrified of him. I don’t want to make an enemy out of such a person.”

Hades took a deep breath before saying, “Do you think that I have not thought about that before?”

“Who would willingly seek trouble for themselves?”

“Unfortunately, we are not the one calling the shots. If I leave Williams alone, our Lord will not have it.”

“That’s not a big deal. The worst that could happen, is for us to be forced to retire.”

“It’s too late to turn back now.”

“Rest assured, my friend. Until now, we have not confronted Zeke Williams directly and I intend to continue to do so.”

“Oh? Then how do you intend to secure the project?” asked Eclipse.

“Just like we’d done in the past, we’ll instigate someone to do the deed for us. All we have to do is to simply observe.”

“Who shall be the victim then?”

“The Hinton family of the Riverdale District,” answered Hades.

Eclipse was stupefied. “Even the Forrest Family was not a worthy opponent for Zeke Williams. What could the Hinton family possibly do?”

“That’s not true.”

“There is someone in the Hinton family who is a great counter to Williams.”

“Fill me in,” announced Eclipse, as his eyes brightened.

A smirk appeared on Hades’ face. “Daniel Hinton, Zeke Williams’ father-in-law, is known for his filial piety,” pronounced Hades, as he took a sip of his tea.

What could this possibly mean? Eclipse thought to himself as he furrowed his brows.

What does Daniel Hinton’s filial piety have anything to do with countering Williams?

The next day.

It was a day with lovely weather. The Chinese believed that it was an auspicious day to move or to conduct a death anniversary.

To the Hinton family of Riverdale city, it was an especially important day, for it was the death anniversary of their ancestors.

Both the old and the young of the Hinton family were busy preparing for the event.

Everyone was wearing the traditional outfit, making the event exceptionally grand.

Aaron Hinton, the head of the Hinton family was no exception. He was currently in his office, memorizing his speech.

Just as he was in the midst of concentrating, his phone suddenly rang.

Aaron Hinton frowned as he glanced towards the screen of his phone.

It was an unknown caller from Sheng City.

He could not recall establishing any connections with someone in Sheng City.

“Who is this?” asked Aaron as he answered the call.

A deep voice resounded from the other end of the line, “My surname is Yate, but my friends called me Hades.”

What? Aaron Hilton subconsciously called out.

He could feel his hands trembling.

Hades of the Sheng City. He is a legendary figure known by all!

The entire underworld of Rivermouth belongs to him.

Even the Forrest Family, the wealthiest family in Riverdale, was nothing but Hades’ puppet.

The Hinton Family was by no means as resourceful or as influential, as compared to the rest of the families.

Why was such a legendary figure personally making a phone call to him?

“Hello, Mr. Yate. It’s an honor to be able to speak with you personally,” replied Aaron politely.

Hades let out a few laughs before saying, “Congratulations Mr. Hinton”

Aaron Hinton was confused. He hesitated for a while before asking, “Mr. Yate, what are you congratulating me for?”
