Chapter 613

Lacey joined in the criticism. “That’s right. Zeke, your behavior today was atrocious.”

Zeke sighed repeatedly. “You don’t know him well enough. Despite how pleasant Mance is on the surface, he is a very dangerous man.”

Nancy scowled, “Shut up. You’re just envious that he is more successful than you. He’s richer and more powerful than you ever could be. Other than bad-mouthing him, you are capable of nothing else.”

Zeke shot a glance at Nancy. “Say whatever you want. You will regret it one day. Also, stop drinking for the next few days.”

Most of the poisonous worms were sensitive to alcohol. By drinking, Nancy would only speed up the poison’s spread.

She rolled her eyes at Zeke. “How can you not drink during a banquet? It would be rude not to do so.

Are you asking me to offend all the important guests there? It doesn’t matter, I’m don’t care what you do. Lacey, I’ll pick you up later and we’ll attend the banquet together.”

With that, Nancy left.

Meanwhile, Lacey took a deep breath and said, “Zeke, can you not attend the banquet? You despise Mance anyway. Out of sight, out of mind, you know.”

She was worried that Zeke’s presence would disrupt her plans.

But he would never agree to that.

Since he confirmed that Mance and John were in the same line as Logan, he knew they were his mortal enemies.

They were cold-blooded killers, and their attempt at cozying up to Nancy and Lacey was filled with ill intentions.

How could two defenseless women be safe when they were walking into a trap?

Zeke replied, “We will talk again tonight.”

Inside Mance’s Bentley.

John carefully pried, “Mance, do you know Zeke is the one that our boss wants you to destroy?”

Mance nodded. “Of course, I do.”

John continued, “In that case, why are you sharing a meal with him?”

“We have to know our enemy before we strike. I’m just trying to get a feel of who he is.”

John laughed wryly.

He didn’t believe Mance’s lousy excuse as he knew the latter was simply there for the girls.

He sighed, “Very well.”

“Mance, a friendly piece of advice. Don’t let your lust mess up the boss’ grand plan.”

Mance smiled smugly. “You must think that I’m cozying up to the girls simply for fun. You’re absolutely wrong. This is one of my schemes to deal with Zeke.”

John’s curiosity was piqued. “Please, elaborate.”

Mance explained, “I know Zeke cares a lot for his wife. He values her life more than his own. If I defile his wife or even kill her, do you think it will devastate him? I intend to torment his soul before taking his life.”

John nodded after giving it some thought. “This is a wonderful idea indeed. However, you have to remember that women are just toys.”

Mance waved his hand restlessly. “I know, I know. By the way, have you implanted the poisonous worms on Nancy like I asked?”

John nodded. “It’s done.”

Mance smiled diabolically. “With the Lust Worm you implanted in her, she would be desperate for me once she drinks some wine. As for Lacey, it would be difficult to attack her with Zeke by her side.

Nevertheless, I guarantee that in less than seven days, Zeke will die, and Lacey will submit to me!”

In the evening, Zeke called Evan. “Evan, I’m sure you have been invited to the Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce banquet tonight.”
