Chapter 784

“What?”

“Haha!” Lone Wolf exclaimed, “That little rascal told me back then that he would introduce me to his younger sister! I’m going to make sure he honors his bet.”

“Don’t get too excited yet,” Zeke said gravely, “Right now, I’m still unsure if he’s alive... After all, he hasn’t contacted us in so many years.”

“I want you to go dig up on all the residents living in Octagon Row, Atheville. See if any of their details match those of Hunting Wolf’s.”

“No problem!” Lone Wolf replied, “I’ll get to work immediately.”

Right after Zeke hung up, Lacey rang him up yet again.

Zeke hastily picked up the call.

Lacey, however, sounded quite glum. “Where are you right now, Zeke?”

“I’m on the way home,” Zeke replied, “What’s wrong?”

She sighed, “I think you should come over to the Riverdale Hintons’ ancestral tomb.”

Zeke could vaguely make out the sounds of people crying in the background.

This immediately sent him into a rage.

Damn it! Don’t tell me the Riverdale Hinton Family has refused to pass on the position of family head to Lacey and has made things difficult for Lacey and her family!

Those b******s!

“I’ll be right there!” Zeke hung up the phone and turned to Hudson. “Hudson, we’re going to the Riverdale Hintons’ ancestral tomb.”

“Alright!” Hudson replied as he floored the accelerator.

After half an hour, both of them reached the Riverdale Hintons’ ancestral tomb.

After half an hour, both of them reached the Riverdale Hintons’ ancestral tomb.

The Riverdale and Oakheart Hinton families were both present. Everybody had extremely solemn looks on their faces.

Lacey’s grandfather, Adam, was bawling his eyes out.

Zeke didn’t really have a good impression of him.

In the past, the man had always been biased towards his older son’s family and neglected Daniel’s family as a result. Furthermore, he had made things difficult for Daniel on behalf of his older son on countless occasions.

It was only till he discovered that his older son, Jeremy, was plotting to kill him to inherit his fortunes did he slowly become more biased towards Daniel’s family.

However, he was still Lacey’s grandfather, after all.

At a time like this, Zeke had no choice but to stand up for him.

“Who made Grandpa cry?” He demanded, “I’ll forgive you if you own up now and break one of your own legs.”

Lacey hastily walked up to him. “That’s enough, Zeke. Nobody made Grandpa cry.”

Zeke’s brows furrowed. “Then why’s he crying?”

All of a sudden, Adam walked up to Zeke and promptly sunk to his knees.

“Zeke, I... Ugh, I have no idea how thank you.”

Zeke was dumbfounded.

What’s gotten into the old man?

Flabbergasted, Lacey and Daniel hastily ran forward to help the old man get back on his feet.

“Grandpa, why are you kneeling before Zeke? He’s your grandson-in-law.”

“Come on, Dad, get up. We’re a family. If you really want to thank him, you just have to say the words.

There’s no need to kneel in front of him.”

This, however, didn’t quite fly with Hannah.

“My son-in-law’s the one who helped him take back the Riverdale Hintons. Should he not be thanking Zeke on his knees? What are you two stopping him for?”

Zeke gave Adam a half-hearted tug to help him up as well. “Grandpa, why are you kowtowing to me all of a sudden?”

Lacey proceeded to explain to him what had happened.

Back when Aaron and Adam were young, the Riverdale Hintons was in its prime and the power struggle between the both of them had never ceased.

Eventually, Adam had lost the role of family head to Aaron. Aaron subsequently rid him of the Riverdale Hintons.

Ever since then, Adam essentially became the Riverdale Hintons’ slave and did all kinds of things for them with a smile on his face. Alas, they despised him and deliberately distanced themselves from him in return.

Now, not only had Zeke helped them join the Riverdale Hintons once again, but he had also helped pry the position of family head out of Aaron’s hands. Adam was certainly very grateful for that.
