After taking a sweeping glance at the people before him, he pulled Shannon to his side and said urgently,
“Shannon...go...go to Octagon Row in Atheville and find a retired soldier named Hunting Wolf.”
“Back when...when I was investigating the Black Pentagon, I intercepted a letter...”
“That letter was meant for the master of the Black Pentagon.”
“Alas, I...I was discovered before I could see who the receiver was.”
“Before I passed out, a guy named Hunting Wolf saved me... I handed him that letter...”
“You’ll be able to get the letter once you find him. The receiver of that letter would be the master of the Black
Pentagon...”
“Quick...”
Before Paul could finish his sentence, his eyes rolled back into his head. His entire body went limp, and he stopped
breathing.
“Grandpa!”
Shannon leapt onto her grandfather and started sobbing.
Zeke, on the other hand, became rather emotional as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHunting Wolf! Hunting Wolf!
What a familiar name!
He was a member of the Alpha Suicide Squad back in the day!
After the war had ended, Hunting Wolf, along with the Ferrymen of the Dead, had fallen out of touch with the rest of
the squad.
I certainly hadn’t expected him to go to the Black Pentagon after he left.
He must have been trying to return to his country via the Black Pentagon. He had probably bumped into Paul as a
result.
Paul told us to go to Octagon Row in Atheville to look for him.
He’s staying in Atheville now? Who knows? He might already have made a family for himself.
He’s staying in Atheville now? Who knows? He might already have made a family for himself.
But of course, the most exciting part wasn’t that he had found the location of Hunting Wolf. Rather, it was the fact
that they might uncover the true identity of the Black Pentagon’s master.
It had been rumored that the Black Pentagon’s master was a really powerful man working with the government.
However, no one knew what his true identity was.
This was also precisely why it had been so difficult to resolve the situation in the Black Pentagon.
If they were able to figure who he was and capture him, taking down the Black Pentagon would be a piece of cake!
Zeke turned to glance at the red flag that was flying high in the garden. He walked towards it to lower the flag.
After removing it from the pole it was on, Zeke walked back into the house and draped it over Paul’s body.
“May you rest in peace, Mr. Hunt,” Zeke said as he gave Paul a salute.
“What are you doing!” Shannon spluttered as she tried to remove the flag, “The deceased is only draped with a flag
when he or she is given a state funeral. My grandfather...isn’t worthy of that.”
“This goes against military law. We’ll be punished for it.”
Zeke stopped her before she could remove the flag. “If Mr. Hunt is not worthy of it, no one else is.”
Fishing out his phone, he rang up the highest-ranking military agency. “Paul Hunt from the Hunt family in East Skuld,
Rivermouth has served his nation well. He deserves a state funeral.”
“Roger!” After hearing the reply from the other end, Zeke promptly hung up the phone.
Stunned, Shannon stared at him with her mouth agape.
Who...who on earth is he?
How did he arrange a state funeral for Grandpa over a single phone call?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatting her on the shoulder, Zeke said, “I’m sorry for your loss.”
“I’ll personally attend the funeral tomorrow.”
Zeke then proceeded to leave in a car with Hudson at the wheel.
During their journey, Hudson noticed the pensive look on Zeke’s face and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“I’m wondering if the receiver of that letter Paul intercepted is really John’s boss,” Zeke replied.
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ordered John to voodoo Paul and turn Paul into a vegetable. He wouldn’t have sent
John here today to attempt Paul’s life either.”
Hudson nodded. “That sounds very plausible.”
“The letter Paul gave Hunting Wolf is our only clue now,” Zeke said, “We have to follow that lead.”
“And once we find that letter, not only will we be able to identify John’s boss, but we would also be able to figure
who is really in charge of the Black Pentagon. That’s two birds with one stone.”
We have to find Hunting Wolf!
Extinguishing the cigarette in his hands, Zeke then rang up Lone Wolf. “Lone Wolf, I think I may have found Hunting
Wolf.”
