Chapter 352
As they were contemplating their options, Hades’ phone suddenly rang.
It was Logan Hugh.
“Hades, have you secured the Love in a Fallen City yet?” asked Logan.
“I have just talked to our lord on the phone, and he would like me to warn you, that if the project isn’t secured
within five days, there will be a heavy price to pay.”
“Why don’t you secure the project yourself then, officer Hugh,” asked Hades coldly.
“Nonsense! The lord has already assigned our respective roles years ago. I’m in charge of the official matters while
you are in charge of the corporate and the underworld.”
“Love in a Fallen City is considered commercial, of course, it falls within your jurisdiction.”
“Besides, it would be inappropriate for someone like me to take action against a private company. If the rival of our
Lord were to catch wind about this, would you be willing to bear the consequences that come from it?”
“Hmmph! Are you sure that it wasn’t because you were actually afraid of Zeke Williams’ background?” sneered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHades.
“Zeke Williams’ background? Pray tell, what kind of background does he boast?”
“The one who is backing him is none other than the Great General of the North,” answered Hades.
“Oh my dear Hades, it seems that aging has really taken a toll on you. How could you even believe in such a tall
tale.”
“You should have known that the main purpose that our Lord has ordered us to greet the General North in person is
to win him over.”
“If Williams were truly the direct descendant of the General North, do you think that the Lord would still issue us
such orders? Wouldn’t this have the effect of antagonizing the general?”
“Then, how would you explain the case where General North has captured the five hundred henchmen in Riverdale
District, effectively saving Zeke Williams?”
“It was a mere coincidence that the almighty general had crossed paths with the people of the underworld. He did
this out of his obligations. It has nothing to do with Williams,” answered Logan Hugh.
“The almighty general was at the Oakheart City not long ago; how did he suddenly appear at Riverdale City?”
“Hades, it seems that I have overestimated you. How did such an intel escape you? I thought that Eclipse was
known as the pivot of intelligence?”
Hades casted a thoughtful gaze at Eclipse.
Eclipse was seen to be drinking his tea with lowered head.
“Then, tell me, why did General North come to Riverdale City?” continued Hades.
“You should be familiar with the Hinton family, right?” answered Logan.
“Yes. They are one of the four big families in Riverdale City.”
“The General North is here because of them. It seems that one of their ancestors had saved him in the past.”
“Tomorrow is the day of the Hinton Family’s death anniversary. He came here personally to repay the favor.”
“So that’s why...” Hades had a sudden realization.
“Grasp the time now and take action. Should the lord be displeased, you don’t need me to spell it out for you, do
you?” asked Logan coldly before he hung up on Hades.
Logan massaged his temples to soothe the pain.
Lately, he had been experiencing severe headaches.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis disciple, Sam Clemons, was in prison and on the verge of breaking. It would not be long before he would be
summoned.
Sam’s family, Madeleine, and Emily were making three phone calls to him per day, demanding for him to rescue
Sam.
They had even threatened him that if he had refused to bail Sam Clemons out, they would confess the truth at the
military court, saying that the poisoning of T-Rex was done under the orders of Logan Hugh.
Currently, Logan had no other option but to secure the Love in a Fallen City project as swiftly as he could.
After securing the project, he would attempt to draw General North into his faction, by hosting a welcoming
ceremony for him.
Then he would have the general pardon his disciple.
Hades put his phone aside and sipped on his tea before querying, “Why did you lie to me, my friend?”
Eclipse was shocked. “What do you mean by that?” asked Eclipse as he placed the teacup he held back onto the
table
