Chapter 1846


    Sole Wolf was stumped. “What do you have in mind, Zeke?”


    “To lure Wendy out, of course. Say, if she were to know that I was dead, would she grow suspicious of


    the rumor and try to make it to my funeral, or evene to my tomb herself to verify?”


    Sole Wolf was hit by a pang of realization and said, “Got it. We''ll get to it right away.”


    Meanwhile, in Adrian''s luxurious office in Royal Casino, Adrian, Robert, Jason, and Ivan were pacing


    back and forth in the office anxiously.


    Their anxiety intensified with each passing second as Edmund had yet to return at that hour and did not


    even attempt to contact them.


    They could not help but wonder about the progress of the mission.


    Edmund was one of Adrian''s best men and hadpleted well above 90% of missions assigned to


    him. They did not think that Edmund would disappoint them this time.


    Did Zeke Williams try anything funny?


    Sounds of hurried footsteps filled the corridor outside the office as they were ovee by anxiety.


    The group of people tensed right away as they stood to their attention.


    They could not think of another person other than Edmund who woulde to Adrian''s office at that


    particr hour.


    Robert gave his son a look.


    Jason knew what his father meant and went over to the door to nce out the office. His face beamed


    with delight at the sight before him.


    “Edmund''s back.”


    Relieved, the group rejoiced in renewed hope.


    Edmund felt his throat going dry after going into the office. He lifted a ss of water and took a big gulp


    of water to pacify himself.


    The man was actually scared out of his wits thanks to the Great Marshal.


    Robert grew impatient and asked, “Edmund, so how did the mission go?”


    Edmund wiped his mouth and said, “Mission aplished.”


    Relieved, everyone beamed with joy. “Are you saying that the mission''s sessful?”


    With a smile, Edmund nodded. “Of course. I''ve poisoned Zeke Williams, three women, and a child.


    They''re all dead.”


    Laughter reverberated in the office for a long time upon hearing Edmund''s report.


    Zeke Williams is finally dead! We have avenged ourselves!


    Curious, Jason asked, “How did you poison them, though? Our original n wasn''t to poison them.”


    Edmund replied calmly, “I knew that Zeke was a soldier the moment I first saw him. He didn''t seem like


    an ordinary man. If he truly held a high position in the military, it would be quite difficult to deal with him.


    So, I decided to just poison them all.”


    “I suppose you didn''t leave any evidence behind, right?” Jason asked.


    “Don''t worry. The poison that I used was tasteless and odorless. Nobody would be able to trace it to our


    end,” Edmund reassured him.

    “Besides, I will be the one responsible if anything goes awry. I won''t rat all of you out.”


    Pleased with his assurance, Robert tapped on Edmund''s shoulders anduded the man, “Well done,


    Edmund. Name your prize. I will dly fulfill it.”


    “Mr. Conrad saved my life. I have him to thank for everything that I have,” Edmund replied humbly.


    “Just thank Mr. Conrad if you must.”


    Robert nced at Adrian, and before he could say anything, thetter waved his hands to dismiss


    Robert, “Don''t sweat on it. It''s what I should do.”


    Robert let out a chortle. “You''re indeed a great friend! All right then, I won''t mention thanks any longer.”


    He made his way over to the window and looked outside of it as he mumbled to himself. “There''s a


    slum district right behind the Royal Casino. They''re really dragging the whole standard and feel of the


    Royal Casino down. I''m hoping to develop the slum into an entertainment city and hand it back to you. I


    hope that you''ll ept it, Adrian.”


    Adrian smiled. “I suppose I can''t decline such a gracious gift, right?”
