Chapter 1001

The man’s heart had been pulled out of his body. Similarly, his clothes were drenched in blood.

Although he had passed on, a vicious look remained on his face, as his eyes were wide open.

Evidently, he had been through a tormenting experience prior to his death.

John exclaimed, “Zeke Williams is indeed a brutal one! I can’t believe he’d possessed the guts to kill one of the Sullivans in such a barbaric manner! Honestly, it doesn’t surprise me that he’s taken out the Lewis family. Hurry up and retrieve Harry’s body.”

John’s underling immediately rushed over in an attempt to retrieve Harry’s corpse.

Unfortunately, as soon as they approached his corpse, a car began to ram all the way through, making its way in their direction.

Shocked, everyone tried their best to avoid the car in the nick of time. Nonetheless, both of them failed to escape, seeing that they had been sent flying as a result.

One of them had their legs broken in the middle of the air. Consequently, blood spewed out from the man’s wound. It was literally raining blood everywhere.

Zeke alighted the car with a cigarette in his mouth. He made his way over to their side nonchalantly.

Suddenly, John shuddered, as a shiver ran down his spine.

He’s a monster! He’s killing those who have defied him without any hesitation!

Suddenly, John yelled, “You arrogant fool! How dare you kill Theodore’s underlings? Aren’t you afraid he’s gonna come after you?”

In return, Zeke replied with a bright smile on his face, “Should I be afraid? Ha! It seems like you’re the fool instead. I have killed one of the Sullivans. Do you think I’ll be afraid of Theodore?”

John’s expression changed, as he had found his own reasoning to be absurd. He could not believe that he had attempted to threaten Zeke, using Theodore.

Zeke asked, “Does this mean that all of you are Theodore’s underlings? Why on earth is Theodore cleaning the mess on behalf of the Sullivan family? He can’t possibly be related to those from the Sullivan family, right? Get out of my sight immediately! Get him over, to show up before me if he wants to retrieve Harry’s corpse. Otherwise, I’ll kill everyone he has sent my way.”

It was evident that John was aware that it would be impossible for him to retrieve Harry’s corpse on Theodore’s behalf.

He took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. It seemed like he had no choice but to get Theodore over, as per Zeke’s demand.

Ultimately, John beckoned towards his underlings and instructed, “Let’s go! It’s time to retreat!”

In all actuality, John was afraid that more of his underlings would be sacrificed should they remain any longer.

Once he made his way back to the Luna Manor, he exaggerated Zeke’s arrogant behavior in an attempt to mislead Theodore.

Theodore frowned and murmured to himself, “It’s impossible for Zeke to hold on to a corpse. I’m afraid he has something else in mind. Perhaps he’s coming after me. Maybe he wants to lure me out and get rid of me once and for all. He’s an extremely cunning man. I have no idea what’s in store for me if I give in to his demand, showing up before him.”

“Erm... What should we do next, Sir? Please enlighten this humble servant of yours,” John asked cautiously in return.

“Bring a regiment of infantry with you. Make sure you have the cameras on throughout the journey. If he has the audacity to take the soldiers out, get in touch with those from the military court immediately.

We’ll get them to deal with him. If that’s the case, we’ll be able to sort things out easily,” Theodore instructed.

John’s eyes gleamed as he assured Theodore, “Yes, Sir. Although I’m certain that the soldiers will be able to intimidate Zeke, I’m afraid that Zeke will hesitate to take the soldiers out.”

The Luna family from Atheville had always served as government officials. In fact, a few of the family members used to be generals back in the day.

Theodore was once an admiral as well. Even though he had retired from his position, he was, undeniably, an influential military figure.

Therefore, it would be a piece of cake for him to get the aids of a regiment of soldiers.

Ten minutes later, a regiment had been dispatched. They made their way over to the Williams Manor under the guidance of John.

Many passersby surrounded the scene as they had been drawn to the commotion.

Eventually, the onlookers engaged themselves in a heated discussion, in an attempt to figure out why the rationale, the regiment, had been dispatched.

By the time they returned to the scene, Harry’s corpse was nowhere to be seen. Presumably, Zeke had hidden it.

John looked at Zeke and warned him, “You’re pretty confident of yourself, huh, Zeke? Ha! Why don’t you show me what you’re capable of again? I’m sure you’ll be taken out the moment you try to lay a finger on me!”

“Bring o regiment of infontry with you. Moke sure you hove the comeros on throughout the journey. If he hos the oudocity to toke the soldiers out, get in touch with those from the militory court immediotely.

We’ll get them to deol with him. If thot’s the cose, we’ll be oble to sort things out eosily,” Theodore instructed.

John’s eyes gleomed os he ossured Theodore, “Yes, Sir. Although I’m certoin thot the soldiers will be oble to intimidote Zeke, I’m ofroid thot Zeke will hesitote to toke the soldiers out.”

The Luno fomily from Atheville hod olwoys served os government officiols. In foct, o few of the fomily members used to be generols bock in the doy.

Theodore wos once on odmirol os well. Even though he hod retired from his position, he wos, undeniobly, on influentiol militory figure.

Therefore, it would be o piece of coke for him to get the oids of o regiment of soldiers.

Ten minutes loter, o regiment hod been dispotched. They mode their woy over to the Willioms Monor under the guidonce of John.

Mony possersby surrounded the scene os they hod been drown to the commotion.

Eventuolly, the onlookers engoged themselves in o heoted discussion, in on ottempt to figure out why the rotionole, the regiment, hod been dispotched.

By the time they returned to the scene, Horry’s corpse wos nowhere to be seen. Presumobly, Zeke hod hidden it.

John looked ot Zeke ond worned him, “You’re pretty confident of yourself, huh, Zeke? Ho! Why don’t you show me whot you’re copoble of ogoin? I’m sure you’ll be token out the moment you try to loy o finger on me!”
