Bewildered, the head of the assassins asked, “What do you want me to help you with?”
Zeke replied, “I want you to lure your boss here. I’d like to have a chat with him.”
No way!
The assassin leader rejected Zeke without hesitation, “This is treason! I will be punished by the gods!”
Is that so?
Not saying another word, Zeke took out his phone and dialed a number.
As soon as the call was picked up, he turned on the loudspeaker.
“Have you finished the assignment I gave you?”
The voice from the other side of the line replied, “Mission accomplished, Sir.”
“Good, “ Zeke answered. “Let me speak to the old woman.”
Soon, a raspy voice of an old lady came from the phone, “Hello, Sir. I am Billy’s mother. Thank you so much for
looking out for Billy.”
The assassin leader knitted his brows worriedly when he realized that the voice over the phone belonged to his

Zeke smiled politely, “You’re welcome, Madam. It’s my pleasure. By the way, have you received the prize and
certificate of commendation from my employee?”
“Yes, I have! Thank you for regarding my son so highly. I will tell him to perform better so that he can repay your
kindness!” The old woman’s voice was full of delight.
“You’re welcome.” Zeke ended the call.
The assassin leader was stumped.
Shit! Zeke Williams already found Mom and even sent ‘prizes’ and ‘certificates’ to her!
He was left with no other choice but to give in.
Zeke said coldly, “You know what to do next, don’t you?”
The assassin leader finally surrendered, “Fine. I’ll... I’ll do as you say. Please don’t hurt my mother. That’s my only
wish.”
Zeke replied, “Don’t worry. You’ll be rewarded once you have accomplished the task. Aren’t you curious about the
amount of money I sent to your mother?”
“How much did you give her?” the assassin leader asked.
“Ten million,” Zeke said indifferently.
Oh my gosh!
The group of assassins inhaled sharply at once.
Ten million was a sum that none of them could get even if they worked non-stop for the rest of their lives, and yet
Zeke Williams gave their leader ten million so easily.
With that amount of money, they would be able to live a wealthy life without ever having to work again.
It seemed like Zeke Williams had planned ahead for them as well.
Zeke glanced at the other assassins. “If all of you cooperate with me, each person will get ten million too. The
choice is yours—to spend the ten million while you’re alive or spend it in hell.”
Needless to say, even the toughest assassins would succumb to Zeke’s threats and bribery.
They only risked their lives as assassins in the first place because life rendered them choiceless.
Who would want to live on the edge when one could be rich?
“We are willing to cooperate with you!” the assassins declared collectively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter regaining his composure, the head of the assassins made a call.
“Mission accomplished, Sir. We have caught Zeke Williams, but I’m afraid that we can’t transfer him anywhere else
as the city is in lockdown due to the mess we caused. It’s better if you come personally, Sir.”
An authoritative voice sounded from the other side. “Hand the phone over to Number 5.”
The assassin leader immediately handed his phone to one of the assassins. “Number 5, the boss wants a
confirmation from you.”
Assassin Number 5 answered hurriedly, “Sir, Number 1 is telling the truth.”
Good.
The boss believed them. “Where are you now? I’m coming over.”
Number 5 replied, “We’re in an abandoned building ten kilometers away from the Raider family mansion. We’ll be
waiting for you, Sir.”
After that, the boss hung up.
Zeke ordered, “Sole Wolf! Bring these guys downstairs and keep an eye on them. I will let them go only after I’ve
met their boss.”
