Chapter 777

Honestly, this was really too severe a punishment on the Riverdale Hintons, and Lacey began to feel a little softhearted.

After all, the Riverdale Hintons were the core of the family. How could they just dissolve it like this?

She turned to Zeke with pleading eyes.

Zeke smiled. “Lacey, I respect your opinion. However, even if I were to protect the Hintons, I cannot allow them to continue managing it. You must assume the head position of the family.

Lacey then looked at Aaron.

Aaron would agree to anything as long as they could protect the Riverdale Hintons’ family roots.

He quickly said, “That’s not a problem, Lacey. From now onwards, you will be the head of the Hintons.”

Zeke called the emergency hotline for an ambulance for Hadley’s gunshot.

After that, he called up T-Rex, who was carrying out the task assigned in Oakheart City. Zeke told T-

Rex to get rid of Aaron and supervise Henry handing over the position to Lacey.

He was worried Aaron would sabotage the process of handing over the family leadership to Lacey.

It was only after he arranged everything that Zeke left the Linton Group and finally headed to East Skuld.

The East Skuld was where Paul Hunt’s military compound was.

Mr. Quin had sent people to work with John in an attempt to break into the military compound. The plan was to activate the poison in Paul Hunt’s body and kill him.

He was worried Hudson alone would not be enough to stop John, so he decided to go and take a look for himself.

....

At East Skuld, in Paul Hunt’s military compound.

John had arrived very early. He had successfully walked around the military compound twice while pretending to be part of the crowd.

He only relaxed after confirming that there were no suspicious characters nor special setups within the vicinity.

After he found a quiet corner, he dialed a mysterious number. “Everything is normal. Clear. Get ready for action.”

A little beggar squatted at the entrance of the military compound.

That little beggar was actually Hudson in disguise.

Worried about attracting John’s attention, he appeared in that getup to protect the military compound.

Of course, the security guards did not know any better, so they tried to chase Hudson away. “Get out of here! This is not a place for you to beg.”

Angered, Hudson said, “Who are you to tell me to get out of here?”

The security scolded, “Who am I? I’m the owner of this place, all right?”

Hudson sniggered, “Hoh! You’re but a guard dog, yet you call yourself the owner? This is too funny.”

“You...” The insult from a mere beggar made the guard fly into a fury. He drew his gun out and aimed it at Hudson. “One minute. Get out of my face. Otherwise, I’ll make you disappear from the face of the earth.”

Hudson remained calm. “Who are you bulls***ting? There are no bullets in that gun!”

Hudson had been in the Cygnus Room for a while; he was familiar with these standard practices.

Oh?

The guard’s heart thumped.

How did this ba****d beggar know there are no bullets in this gun? It’s supposed to be top-secret!

Unless... there’s something suspicious about this beggar?

The commotion soon disturbed Shannon Hans, Paul’s granddaughter.

The interesting thing about Shannon was that she was a typical asexual. Someone who was not interested in either men or women.

She came out and reprimanded them, “What’s all this noise about? You’re disturbing grandpa’s rest.

Are you sure you can be responsible for that?”

The guard immediately whispered to her, “Ms. Hans, he knows the secret about our guns not containing bullets, and he’s been squatting at our entrance for more than half an hour. I’m worried that there is something wrong with this beggar here.”

Oh?

Shannon tensed up involuntarily and immediately glanced at the security guard meaningfully.

Understanding her meaning, the guard quickly slipped into the grounds to grab some bullets as a backup.
