He walked up to Zeke nonchalantly, took a deep breath, and said, “Are you Zeke Williams?”
Zeke nodded slightly. “That's right. Are you the previous head of the Mitxel family?”
Logan replied, “Yes.”
Only then did Zeke look up lazily and glance at Logan. “How can I help you?”
Zeke's indifference and blatant disregard for Logan's presence prompted the latter to feel insulted.
Logan's temper rose. “I believe you should know better than anyone else why I'm here.”
Zeke shook his head. “I'm sorry, but I really don't know why you're here. If you're not going to be frank, please
leave and do not distract my employees from focusing on their work.”
All the employees in the company exchanged glances as astonished expressions spread across their faces.
They were well aware of Logan's status in the business world as he was one of the most influential figures of his

Zeke's staff thought their boss was simply incredible for dismissing Logan so casually.
Logan gritted his teeth and said, “Great. I see you are adept at feigning ignorance. Very well. In that case, I shall
make myself clear. Let me ask you. Why did you kill my son, Rhett, and try to harm my eldest son, Jared? You even
encouraged the Genesis Chamber of Commerce to work together to bring down Mitxel Group, forcing our company
into a corner.”
Zeke smiled impassively. “First of all, I did not kill your son, Rhett. Secondly, Jared has repeatedly provoked me, so
his death is inevitable. Third, Mitxel Group had a lapse in judgment and made a poor choice by attempting to
destroy Linton Group. I am merely letting you all have a taste of your medicine.”
Logan was infuriated. “Nonsense! What a load of crap! Do you really think I don't know the truth? You were angered
because Rhett did not pay tribute to you when he arrived in Eurasia, so you murdered him!”
Zeke laughed. “You're turning senile. Why should Rhett pay tribute to me? Why should I kill him for not paying
tribute to me? These obvious lies are only effective to deceive an old fool like you.”
Logan suddenly realized that seemed to be the case after listening to Zeke's reminder.
Why should Rhett pay tribute to the Great Marshal? I've never heard of such a custom previously. Moreover,
everyone knows the Great Marshal's wealth is greater than the nation's treasury. There's no way he would set his
eyes on such petty riches. It seems like there's something suspicious about this motive.
Still, Logan could not back down now by going against his own statement, so he retorted righteously, “Even if the
tribute is not the reason behind the murder, there's no doubt you killed Rhett.”
Zeke sneered. “Hah!”
Logan pressed the matter further. “Not only did you do away with my son, but you are also trying to put an end to
Mitxel Group. Don't you think you're going over the line?”

“Returning the favor? Haha! What a joke. Are you saying that Mitxel Group made an effort to drive you to the brink
of desperation too?”
“Oh my. It seems like you are truly clueless about the whole incident. Don't you know that Mitxel Group tried to
exterminate my Linton Group? Fortunately, Linton Group survived after receiving help from Redwood Capital.”
Logan was shocked. “When did that happen? Why am I not aware of this?”
Zeke elaborated, “Are you oblivious toward the investment of the Mitxel family's three hundred billion into Eurasia's
Intercontinental Group? This three hundred billion was the capital used to suppress Linton Group.”
Logan looked at Jared. “Jared, tell me. Is that the case? Didn't you say the three hundred billion was invested in the
research and development for an effective treatment for AIDS?”
Jared hurriedly explained, “Dad, as Zeke said, the three hundred billion was indeed channeled into Eurasia's
Intercontinental Group and was also used to target Linton Group. My heart ached deeply because he killed Rhett. I
wanted to avenge Rhett, so I did all I could to repress Linton Group. I did not tell you the truth because I was
worried you would not agree with my plans...”
