Chapter 460
Lord Protector Novel
Zeke furrowed his brows.
Northern Xinjiang Military District is big. In addition, I donât even know Caleb Castaneda. How is it possible for me to meet Caleb?
Dawn is obviously asking it on purpose.
In a flash, Zeke came to the realization that Dawn might be implicitly asking him to help promote and take care of Caleb Castaneda for she was too shy to say it directly.
Zeke nodded. âMm, I will check on him since heâs your brother.â
Dawn was overjoyed as it was all over her face. âThanks, Great... I mean brother.â
Initially, she was going to call him Great Marshal but decided to call him brother since Hades was around.
Dawn entered the hall in cheerful steps.
Looking at the back of her figure, Zeke fell into deep thought.
This young lady has come to Oakheart City for a long time, but Iâve never seen her family, neither did she ever mention about them.
Her family relationship must be complicated.
Zeke made up his mind to look into it.
Hades went up to him. âMr. Williams, I shall leave now.â
âWould you like to stay for a cup of tea?â Zeke offered.
Hades giggled, âIâve been âdeadâ for a few days and now I really miss the tea from my Grand Imperial Tea House. Iâm not used to drinking tea from other places.â
âOk, Iâll let you leave then,â said Zeke.
âMr. Williams, I have a question. Have you really arrested the assassin that poisoned me?â Hades couldnât help asking.
Zeke nodded.
Hades continued, âYou could have destroyed Logan Hugh, so why are you letting him off this time?â
âItâs simple. It wonât do me any good if he dies now.â Zeke helped to clear his doubts.
Hades was intrigued. âThen when should he die to be advantageous to you?â
Hades needed to be completely clear about this.
If Logan were still alive, that meant his life would be in danger.
Logan hated betrayal the most. He would seek revenge against Hades at all costs until he took his last breath for stabbing Logan in the back.
âI heard Logan legally owns a number of companies.â Zeke smiled wryly as he continued, âHis companies will be escheated once heâs behind the bars. Heâll die the day when he gives up on his companies.â
Hades was doubtful. âBut I know Logan. He will never give up on his companies.â
âWell then... If he insists on doing things the hard way, weâll take it with a strong hand. After all, weâre experts in doing this.â Zeke gave an indifferent shrug.
Hades and Eclipse traded glances and then burst out laughing, âWell said!â
âWe shall anticipate Mr. Williamsâ Linton Group to grow.â
âOh, Mr. Williams, I have a lot of experience in doing business. I think itâs important to focus on certain fields of business instead of engaging in a wide range of business trading.â
âThe business under Linton Group covers several business sectors which might hinder the long-term development of the company.â
Zeke sighed in exasperation. âThereâs nothing I can do, and I could only blame my rivals for that.â
Hades and Eclipse were confused for a second, but then their laughter grew louder.
Thatâs true. Except for the small steel mill, all other assets under Linton Group were acquired by Mr.
Williams out of the hands of his business rivals.
His ârivalsâ, if they were to be considered one, were indeed the ones to be blamed for the scattered businesses under Linton Group.
Their businesses covered diverse industries.
âOne last question,â Hades kept a straight face and said, âIâm actually no longer in my prime to manage the Grand Imperial Tea House. Iâm wondering if youâre interested in my tea house? If you are, then I can transfer a portion of my share or even let you take over the entire tea house.â
It was a well-known fact that the Grand Imperial Tea House was the symbol of authority in the entire Rivermouth underworld forces.
Hades meant to transfer part of or whole ownership of the Rivermouth underworld forces to Zeke.
