Three minutes later, the group of people left the underground casino.
The Red Killer’s mouth was wide opened, her eyes full of disbelief as she stared at Zeke.
I can’t believe this young man is actually their grandmaster...
He’s already a grandmaster of the Necromancer Assassin Organization at such a young age. Just who on earth is
he? And how capable is he really?
She trembled upon thinking about that.
In the hardware store’s lobby, the old man who had fainted after Hadley Murphy beat him up was finally awake. He
was smoking a cigarette while he watched the drama unfold.
When the old man noticed that Zeke was waiting for someone, he quickly stood up straight.
This surprised Hadley.
The slash she made earlier had made the old man pass out for at least two minutes.
But now the old man looked wide awake, and he looked like he wasn’t experiencing any pain. He even looked much
better than before.
Hadley guessed that the old man must not be an ordinary man, at least, his physical fitness was different from
normal people.
Zeke casually threw a gold plaque at the old man and said, “Not bad, Mr. Winston. Keep up the good work.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old man teared up when he saw the gold plaque.
It was a military medal with ‘first-class merit’ written on it.
He had been in the military for dozens of years and was about to retire. The old man didn’t think that he was able
to get the first-class merit right before retiring.
What’s more, the Great Marshal had given it to me personally. What an honor!
But Brandon felt guilty for receiving it.
I’ve only been standing guard here for a few days. I don’t deserve this...
Brandon walked towards Zeke and saluted, “Mr. Williams, this first-class merit... I don’t deserve it...”
Zeke patted Brandon’s shoulder and said, “Don’t sell yourself short. You deserve this first-class merit. You have
helped uncover the black sheep for me and saved the people and the army from huge losses.”
The black sheep Zeke was talking about was the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Harvey
Hoffman.
“Really?” Brandon smiled earnestly.
Both Hadley and the Killer were shocked.
I can’t believe the grandmaster has the right to give out military medals. And a first-class merit at that!
The grandmaster is someone from the military; his rank must be quite high to be able to do that!
He’s a supreme being!
......
Back at Fleeting Year Karaoke, Lacey Hinton was feeling restless.
It’s already been half an hour. Why isn’t Zeke back yet?
Did he somehow fall into the toilet? Or did something happen to him?
After thinking about it over and over again, Lacey decided to go look for him.
But Emily Clemons stopped her and asked, “Lacey, where are you going?”
“Zeke said he’s going to the toilet. But it’s been half an hour and he’s still not back. I’m going to take a look,”
answered Lacey.
Emily smiled, “Don’t worry. I called him earlier. He said he has diarrhea, but he’ll be right back.”
“Really?” asked Lacey skeptically.
“Of course,” answered Emily.
Lacey had a thoughtful look on her face, but she finally sat down.
Emily poured wine into their cups and said, “Come on, drink up.”
Meantime, about ten private cars stopped in front of the karaoke bar.
These private cars were from the military and also from the municipal.
The car doors opened, and Logan Hugh led the soldiers as they got off from the cars.

Harvey Hoffman was leading those from the municipal office.
The two groups of men flocked into the karaoke bar.
This scene attracted the attention of countless passersby.
It was quite a rare sight for them as the military and the municipal were enforcing the law together.
It seemed like this old karaoke bar was going to suffer because of this.
Everyone gathered at the entrance spontaneously as they watched.
The manager of the karaoke bar was dumbfounded at the sight of the group. He trembled in fear as he walked
towards them. “Misters, you are...”
Harvey Hoffman sneered, “We’re doing a surprise inspection. Please cooperate with us.”
The manager immediately nodded and bowed, “Yes, yes. Of course we’ll cooperate.”
Harvey Hoffman said nothing else and headed straight for Lacey Hinton’s private room with his men.
They didn’t bother with the other rooms.
The bodyguard that Zeke Williams had arranged to stand guard by the door immediately stopped the raging Harvey
Hoffman and his men. “Stop right there!”
Harvey Hoffman was livid, “Scram! You’re just a security guard. How dare you interfere with us, the law enforcers?”
The bodyguard said coldly, “My boss paid just like everyone else. You have no right to disturb them. Even if you
want to inspect their room, you’ll have to wait until their time in there is up.”
“Shit!” Harvey Hoffman was fuming, “You’re telling me what I should do? You’re not worthy at all!”
Logan Hugh was also furious by now. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the bodyguard’s head. “Scram, now!
Otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
