Chapter 745


    A boss who would choose to sacrifice thepany’s profits for the sake of his employees’ well-being


    was someone worth sticking around for.


    Jessie didn’t go to the hospital in the end.


    Her face was only slightly swollen. She would be seen as melodramatic if she went to the hospital to


    treat a tiny injury.


    Zeke summoned Jessie into his office and queried, “Do you know the identities of the people who came


    here to cause trouble?”


    Jessie nodded solemnly. “Yes. It was Eleven from the Thirteen Guardians.”


    Upon seeing the clueless look on Zeke’s face, she borated, “The Thirteen Guardians are basically


    killer machines under Reuben Mack’smand. They are very well-known in Eastend.”


    Zeke wore an unimpressed look and asked, “Reuben Mack? Never heard of him. Is he rted to Mr.


    Quin in any way?”


    “Yes. Reuben Mack is one of the three generals working for Mr. Quin. His domain is ‘power’. His


    position is on par with Gavin Zachary’s and Sim Owens’.” Jessie answered.


    Following Jessie’s detailed exnation, Zeke nodded. “Got it. You can get back to work now.”


    Before she left, Zeke remembered something. “By the way, give me a report on the number of injured


    and their respective conditions as soon as you can.”


    With a nod, Jessie turned and left.


    Zeke drummed his fingers on his desk. The crisp tapping sounds were an ominous sign of what was to


    come.


    “The Thirteen Guardians, huh? Before me, you’re thirteen pests at best.”


    He beganing up with a course of action. “These thirteen pests are too scattered, so I can’t take


    them down all at once. This means I have to find backup... But there’s hardly anyone I can count on in


    Eastend. Now that the passage connecting Rivermouth and Eastend has been blocked, it’d be


    impossible to mobilize people over from there.”


    Of course, Twelve and his men who sealed off the border had not been able to escape Zeke’s eyes.

    He just had not been bothered by them.


    After much deliberation, Zeke finally thought of a force he could enlist help from. It was the


    Necromancer Assassin Organization that Hadley Murphy was affiliated with!


    The Necromancer Assassin Organization was the thirdrgest force in Eastend. Defeating the Thirteen


    Guardians would be easy for them.


    With that thought in mind, he immediately called Hadley. “Hadley,e to Grand Empire Group in


    Eastend. I have a new mission for you.”


    Hadley sighed, “You should stop causing trouble in Eastend. That’s where our Necromancer Assassin


    Organization is based. The Young Matriarch has already told me about your love-hate rtionship with


    my leader. Isn’t it because of your guilt towards my leader that you’re scared to let her know you’re still


    alive?”


    When Zeke didn’t answer, Hadley continued. “If you create too big of a ruckus here and my leader finds


    out, she might kill the heartless man you are in a fit of rage...”


    “Hadley, do you know why my master could live for over a hundred years?” Zeke interrupted her.


    Hadley was bewildered. “Why?”


    “Because my master was never a nosey parker,” Zeke replied in a deadpan voice.


    Hadley snapped, “Oh, f*** off!”


    Zeke hesitated for a moment before deciding to check up on Mia.


    He called her, saying, “Mia, cooperate with Linton Group on the promotional video shooting for this


    period of time, and don’te to Eastend. Mr. Quin is making his move again, so it’s not safe for you


    here.”


    Mia bowed her head and remained silent as remorse lined her features.


    Sigh. I thought that by aligning myself with Grand Empire Group, my worries would all be vanquished.


    But now, it seems like all of that was wishful thinking.


    During this period of time, she had specifically inquired about Zeke andter found that he barely had


    any influence in Rivermouth.


    She didn’t even know if he had any power or influence in Eastend.


    But whatever amount of power he had was definitely not worth mentioning before Mr. Quin.


    She knew for certain that Zeke couldn’t protect her and that she might even end up dragging him and


    Linton Group down with her because of this.


    After a long bout of contemtion, Mia dismissed Zeke’s orders, hopped into her car and sped towards


    Eastend.
