Chapter 783
Lord Protector Novel
After taking a sweeping glance at the people before him, he pulled Shannon to his side and said urgently, âShannon...go...go to Octagon Row in Atheville and find a retired soldier named Hunting Wolf.â
âBack when...when I was investigating the Black Pentagon, I intercepted a letter...â
âThat letter was meant for the master of the Black Pentagon.â
âAlas, I...I was discovered before I could see who the receiver was.â
âBefore I passed out, a guy named Hunting Wolf saved me... I handed him that letter...â
âYouâll be able to get the letter once you find him. The receiver of that letter would be the master of the Black Pentagon...â
âQuick...â
Before Paul could finish his sentence, his eyes rolled back into his head. His entire body went limp, and he stopped breathing.
âGrandpa!â
Shannon leapt onto her grandfather and started sobbing.
Zeke, on the other hand, became rather emotional as well.
Hunting Wolf! Hunting Wolf!
What a familiar name!
He was a member of the Alpha Suicide Squad back in the day!
After the war had ended, Hunting Wolf, along with the Ferrymen of the Dead, had fallen out of touch with the rest of the squad.
I certainly hadnât expected him to go to the Black Pentagon after he left.
He must have been trying to return to his country via the Black Pentagon. He had probably bumped into Paul as a result.
Paul told us to go to Octagon Row in Atheville to look for him.
Heâs staying in Atheville now? Who knows? He might already have made a family for himself.

But of course, the most exciting part wasnât that he had found the location of Hunting Wolf. Rather, it was the fact that they might uncover the true identity of the Black Pentagonâs master.
It had been rumored that the Black Pentagonâs master was a really powerful man working with the government.
However, no one knew what his true identity was.
This was also precisely why it had been so difficult to resolve the situation in the Black Pentagon.
If they were able to figure who he was and capture him, taking down the Black Pentagon would be a piece of cake!
Zeke turned to glance at the red flag that was flying high in the garden. He walked towards it to lower the flag.
After removing it from the pole it was on, Zeke walked back into the house and draped it over Paulâs body.
âMay you rest in peace, Mr. Hunt,â Zeke said as he gave Paul a salute.
âWhat are you doing!â Shannon spluttered as she tried to remove the flag, âThe deceased is only draped with a flag when he or she is given a state funeral. My grandfather...isnât worthy of that.â
âThis goes against military law. Weâll be punished for it.â
Zeke stopped her before she could remove the flag. âIf Mr. Hunt is not worthy of it, no one else is.â
Fishing out his phone, he rang up the highest-ranking military agency. âPaul Hunt from the Hunt family in East Skuld, Rivermouth has served his nation well. He deserves a state funeral.â
âRoger!â After hearing the reply from the other end, Zeke promptly hung up the phone.
Stunned, Shannon stared at him with her mouth agape.
Who...who on earth is he?
How did he arrange a state funeral for Grandpa over a single phone call?
Patting her on the shoulder, Zeke said, âIâm sorry for your loss.â
âIâll personally attend the funeral tomorrow.â
Zeke then proceeded to leave in a car with Hudson at the wheel.
During their journey, Hudson noticed the pensive look on Zekeâs face and asked, âWhat are you thinking about?â
âIâm wondering if the receiver of that letter Paul intercepted is really Johnâs boss,â Zeke replied.
âOtherwise, he wouldnât have ordered John to voodoo Paul and turn Paul into a vegetable. He wouldnât have sent John here today to attempt Paulâs life either.â
Hudson nodded. âThat sounds very plausible.â
âThe letter Paul gave Hunting Wolf is our only clue now,â Zeke said, âWe have to follow that lead.â
âAnd once we find that letter, not only will we be able to identify Johnâs boss, but we would also be able to figure who is really in charge of the Black Pentagon. Thatâs two birds with one stone.â
We have to find Hunting Wolf!
Extinguishing the cigarette in his hands, Zeke then rang up Lone Wolf. âLone Wolf, I think I may have found Hunting Wolf.â
