When the time came, an entourage accompanied the ten coffins as they embarked on their final journey to the
Eight Treasures Cemetery.
Wayde followed at the back of the procession.
The loss of so many of his grandchildren had seemed to age him a decade overnight.
He was absolutely crushed. He would have given anything to be the one lying in those coffins at that very moment.
Zeke and Wolf’s Greed, however, were severely displeased upon learning about this.
“What the f***!” Wolf’s Greed roared, “How dare they bury their dead before Frederick is put to rest?”
“Prep the car,” Zeke instructed.
Overjoyed, Wolf’s Greed replied, “At once.”
Ten minutes later, both of them bumped into the funeral procession somewhere about two kilometers away from
the Eight Treasures Cemetery.
As their car swerved into their path, the Jenkins and their guests had no choice but to come to a halt.
Wayde immediately hit the roof.

With a walking stick in hand, he hobbled over to the car and barked, “Get the hell out of the way! Otherwise, I’ll kill
you and your family!”
The windows slowly rolled down to reveal Zeke and Wolf’s Greed’s face.
Upon seeing them again, Wayde felt a shiver creep down his spine.
“My friend hasn’t been put to rest yet,” Zeke stated coldly, “So neither are your grandchildren going to be. On the
day we move Frederick’s coffin, I want them to be buried below him in a sign that they’ll always be beneath him.”
“You...you’re out of your mind!” bellowed Wayde as the veins on his temples started bulging, “Our family’s lives
were in your hands yesterday. That was why we had no choice but to accede to your demands. But that was
yesterday. Who are you to order the Jenkins family around now?”
“If I can poison you lot the first time,” Zeke chuckled, “I can naturally poison you guys the second, third and fourth
time. And you will never see it coming. Let’s go, Wolf’s Greed.”
The car sputtered to life as Wolf’s Greed floored the accelerator, leaving Wayde in a cloud of dust.
A despondent expression flashed across his face.
That’s right. If Williams were to poison us again, we really would never see him coming.
They may be dead, but the rest of us aren’t. I can’t allow them to endanger the lives of the rest of us.
Gnashing his teeth together, he growled, “Take the coffins back.”
The entire entourage turned around and headed back the way they had come.
A commotion immediately erupted within the passers-by who had gathered around.
Those two men were probably the culprits behind this incident.
All it took was a couple of words from that man to scare the Jenkins out of burying their dead!
Holy f***! How powerful are those two?
Zeke and Wolf’s Greed raced off towards Joseph Zelly’s funeral.
On their journey there, Wolf’s Greed asked, “Zeke, do you think Helen will listen to us and not bury Joseph today?”
Zeke shook his head. “No, I don’t think so.”
“Then how are you planning to intimidate them out of doing so?” Wolf’s Greed asked.
“If you’ve got something to say, just spill it.” Zeke snapped, “I take it that you’ve arranged something.”
“Haha...” Wolf’s Greed smiled sheepishly. “You saw right through me.”

along some pretty powerful firearms. If Helen dares to disobey us, we’ll bomb the entire place to kingdom come,”
Wolf’s Greed shared.
“Great. The stage is all yours.”
Joseph’s entourage had already long reached the cemetery, and his coffin was about to be lowered into the ground.
An autumn breeze caressed Helen’s face as tears trickled down her cheeks.
Joseph had been the only man of the Zelly family.
With him gone, there was no one else left to carry on the family name.
Pressing her face against his coffin, Helen whispered, “Rest in peace, Little Bro. Don’t worry. I’ll be sending Williams
down to keep you company very soon.”
“Oh, and weren’t you rather fond of Sage Walters from the Walters family? In a few days’ time, I’ll arrange for a
posthumous marriage between both of you.”
Just then, a car burst into the venue, completely disrupting the proceedings.
Two young men got out of it and were immediately met with many dirty looks from the guests.
Who are these barbarians? Driving a car right into the funeral? How rude!
“Then how are you planning to intimidate them out of doing so?” Wolf’s Greed asked.
