Chapter 478
Lone Wolf said, “I’ve deliberately disclosed some hints about the assassin we captured as per your
instruction, bro. Hadley has discovered the ce where we keep the assassin. She’s moving toward
the location as we speak.”
“I’ll be there at once,” Zeke responded.
He walked out of the building and nced at the security guard, who arrived not long ago.
He was a bodyguard selected by Zeke to protect Lacey.
Zeke beckoned to the security guard and thetter fathomed Zeke’s intention at once. He advanced in
the direction of the private room Lacey was in and stood guard at the door.
The bodyguard would rush inside the room to protect Lacey if he sensed something was odd.
Zeke got into the car and sped off.
He arrived at a hardware store after 10 minutes.
The hardware store was located on a deserted street. So there wasn’t a customer in sight.
The shopkeeper was a skinny aged man with white hair. He was puffing on his cigarette while watching
the television.
He quickly got up and stubbed out his cigarette when he saw Zeke. The aged man greeted Zeke with a
slight bow, “You’re here, Mr. Williams.”
Zeke nodded. “Thank you for your hard work. Bring me to the basement.”
“Okay.”
He led Zeke toward the storage room at the back of the store and came to a halt in the southwest
corner of the room.
Arge piece of metal was ced in the southwest corner of the room. The aged man lifted the piece
of metal to expose a lid to ess the sewage.
Then the aged man opened the lid. A set of stairs was seen leading down toward the basement.
Zeke tossed a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes to him and smiled. “You should refrain from
smoking low-quality cigarettes. It’s bad for your health.”
The aged man was touched. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Williams. I will heed your advice.”
Zeke walked down the stairs without saying another word afterward.
The aged man hurriedly closed the lid and reced the piece of metal.
He reached the end of the stairs and arrived before arge metal gate after a short while.
Zeke exerted force to push open the door. The room behind the gate was cavernous.
That ce was a luxuriously-embellished underground casino. All kinds of gambling equipment and
tables decorated the spacious room.
The time on the few clocks hung on the wall showed 9 o’clock under the dim lights. The pointers on the
clocks were already unmoving.
Pin drop silence filled therge casino. The oddly quiet and deserted atmosphere was unsettling.
Darren Collins had shut down all the illegal businesses in the city ever since Zeke took control of
Riverdale District and the underworld forces of Oakheart City.
Zeke scanned the surroundings, but not a single person was in sight.

At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared from a dark corner behind Zeke’s back.
That shadowy figure moved swiftly without making a sound. He rushed forward in Zeke’s direction with
w-shaped hands, attempting to sh Zeke’s throat.
Zeke stayed still as if he did not notice anything. He did not even turn his head around.
He suddenly moved just as that shadowy figure was inches away from grazing his neck.
He raised his arm and caught the assant’s w effortlessly with his hand.
Zeke did not turn around, nor did he make any exaggerated movement with his body.
That shadowy figure sighed. “Ah, why is there such a huge difference between our skills, bro? I feel
that I’m already performing well. But I still fail toy a finger on you in an ambush.”
That shadowy figure was none other than Lone Wolf.
Zeke let go of Lone Wolf. He turned around and said coldly, “Yes. You are indeed doing well. At the
very least, you will be a better assassin than Hadley if you’re ced in the Necromancer Assassin
Organization. But do not forget this. I am the one who taught you all these skills. So how do you expect
yourself to surpass me?”
Lone Wolf was dejected. “Fine.”
“Where’s the other person?” Zeke asked.
“I’m the only person here. No one else is in this room.”
“Is that so?” Zeke sneered.
