Chapter 417

“Mr. Williams, may I know how do you view Necro?” Hades asked out of curiosity.

“They are nothing,” Zeke replied without thinking.

Both Hades and Eclipse jumped in surprise as they wondered if they’d heard Zeke wrongly. “Nothing?”

“Yes. I could annihilate them anytime if I want to,” Zeke nodded.

The statement made Hades and Eclipse sweat.

The Necro Group was the biggest assassin organization in all three states of the country. They even extended their business to other countries as well.

Even a person like Hades was nothing to them.

Yet, Zeke claimed that they posed no threat to him and he what’s more, he could annihilate the organization if he wanted to.

Hades and Eclipse began to wonder who Zeke really was as they realized they’d underestimated Zeke’s power.

But then again, they also wondered why someone that powerful would stay in a small city like Oakheart.

“You guys just stick to the plan,” Zeke said. “Leave Necro to me.”

“Okay!”

...

The underworld of Rivermouth had been stable for the past few decades, yet a news managed to rock the underworld.

Hades was dead!

The person who had led Rivermouth for years died overnight.

The mafia was left without a leader and was in a complete mess.

Speculation spread like a wildfire, stating that Hades’ death had something to do with Zeke.

The news only made everyone in the underworld even more worried as Hades had been shielding them from Zeke.

If Hades had perished under Zeke’s hand, they knew Zeke would soon trample over them.

The underworld wasn’t the only one who was shocked by Hades’ death, even the normal citizens were shocked by it as well.

All because Hades was the state representative for the People’s Congress.

Every news outlets were reporting on Hades’ death.

The heads of each city’s mafia quickly gathered at the Grand Imperial Tea House to meet with Eclipse.

With Hades gone, it was natural for Eclipse to take over his place.

The usual prideful Eclipse was in utter silence. It was evident how impactful Hades’ death was to him.

Solomon, leader of Lerwick City, spoke first, “Sir, please, tell us, does Hades’ death has anything to do with Zeke?”

“It remains unclear,” Eclipse shook his head.

His answer drained the colors from everyone’s face as they began to whisper to each other.

Based on their understanding of Eclipse, Zeke was most-likely involved in Hades’ death.

A single action from Zeke was enough to invoke fear into everyone’s heart.

“Quiet down!” Solomon clapped his hands. “Sir, what should we do next?”

“Everything remains the same,” Eclipse replied after taking a deep breath.

“It won’t be easy,” Solomon smiled bitterly. “Hades was our belief, and when that belief dies, we are left in chaos. With Zeke eyeing for an opportunity, some of us are even thinking of calling quits. Our regions might not be ours soon. What we need now is a huge fund to calm everyone down and maintain our operations.”

With that, everyone turned to Eclipse. He was the only who could approve the fund now.

What Solomon meant basically was that things would remain normal if there was money, or else everything would be lost.
