Chapter 782
Only then did Shannon realize she had misunderstood Zeke.
He hadn’t left them to fend for themselves. In fact, he had sent someone here to protect them.
Confused, Zeke asked, “Who’s Little Beggar?”
Hudson hastily exined, “It’s a long story. Oh, that’s right, there’s a b****** who’sing over soon.
You better make some room. I’m going to give him a lesson that he’ll never forget.”
“B******? What b******?”
Feeling very awkward, Shannon hastily changed the subject, “Er...let’s forget about that. Mr. Williams,
come take a look at my grandfather.”
Unbeknownst to her, she had unconsciously started addressing him as ‘Mr. Williams’ instead of just
‘Williams’.
Upon hearing that, Zeke hastily rushed forward to take a look at Paul.
Once he was done, the expression on his face grew serious.
“Part of the poison in your grandfather’s body has been activated,” Zeke concluded gravely, “It’s now
attacking his brain, veins and many other vital organs. If we don’t do anything and allow his mind to
remain dormant, he might be able tost a few more days.”
“But if I were tomence treatment now, he mighte around. However, he’ll probably onlyst a
couple of minutes, maybe even only a couple of seconds. That’s because once there is more activity in
his brain, the poison will attack his brain even more ferociously and cause him to die faster,” Zeke
added,
What?
Shannon looked as though she had just been struck by lightning. She slumped into her chair.
An apologetic look shed across Hudson’s face. “I’m really sorry, Zeke. It’s my fault that this
happened. I had originally thought that the enemy wouldn’t be able to hurt him as long as they stayed
outside. Little did I know...”

Patting Hudson on the shoulders, Zeke assured him, “It’s not your fault. I was the one who didn’t tell
you about that.”
He then turned towards Shannon and said gently, “Shannon, before you make your decision, I have to
tell you something.”
“John was the one who Voodooed your grandfather. And the man he’s working for is this scoundrel that
I’ve been investigating. The only reason that he would go to such lengths to kill your grandfather would
be that your grandfather had dug up something that he didn’t want anybody to know about. If your
grandfather were to die just like that, that secret is going to follow him to his grave.”
“But if we can get him toe around, even for just a few minutes, he will be able to tell us this secret.
Then, we would be able to incriminate that scoundrel and undo the damage he’s done! Whether your
grandfather lives for a few more days ores around just for another few minutes is entirely up to
you,” He added.
After a moment’s hesitation, Shannon steeled her heart and said, “Grandpa has always been incredibly
loyal to his country. He would do anything to protect thisnd and the people on it. If he were to really
bring this secret to his grave, I think that his soul will never truly be put to rest.”
“Wake him up, even if it is just for a few seconds,” Shannon said decidedly.
Great!
Zeke proceeded to give Paul and Shannon a salute before he pulled out his needles and started
performing acupuncture on Paul.
After a nerve-wracking procedure, Paul suddenly spat out some blood, and his body started
convulsing. His eyes shot open as he made an effort to sit up.
Zeke hastily stopped him. “Mr. Hunt, your body is still too weak. You shouldn’t move about too much.”
“Do you have something to say?”
Paul mustered everyst bit of his strength and croaked, “The ck Pentagon... Drugs... Firearms...”
Hmph?
Zeke’s brows furrowed.
Has Paul been investigating the ck Pentagon back when he went to Queenstown?
The ck Pentagon was this ce in Queenstown that was known all over the world for its
lawlessness.
Nearly 70% of drugs and firearms within Eurasia’s borders came from that ce.
Furthermore, more than 50% of the world’s grey goods came from there.
However, the mysterious master of the ck Pentagon was a very powerful person. That master even
had his or her own private army.
That was why the ck Pentagon problem had been unresolved for so many years!
“Mr. Hunt,” Zeke reminded him, “Please keep it simple. You only have a few minutes, maybe even only
a few seconds.”
