“Remember? Zeke Williams was also known as ‘Master Williams’,” Helen reminded them. “Many people of the
nobility yearned to establish ties with Master Williams, so it makes sense for him to know a few of them. I bet he got
someone to bail him out!”
Everyone drew in a sharp gasp.
“Yeah, that sounds reasonable. We shouldn’t have tried...”
“What about the money? He’s asking for a hundred billion now...”
“This might be the end of my family... it’s all his fault!”
“Don’t worry. I’m sure we can get past this hurdle united as one.”
“He’s dead meat once Drake arrives!”
Cobra, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “Send me to Trust Media first.”
“Why?” Helen asked, ignorant of the fact that Cobra had been forced to kneel before the doors of Trust Media just
hours before.
“I... I want to haunt him like a ghost!” Cobra growled, his face a beet red. He was too embarrassed to speak the

“Nice!” Helen said, giving him a thumbs-up.
Meanwhile, at Trust Media...
Lacey sat at her desk, looking utterly defeated.
She did not have the energy to clean up the mess before her anymore.
All she could do was rack her brains and try to come up with a way to rescue Zeke.
Suddenly, Zeke and Brent burst into the office.
Pleasantly surprised, Lacey rushed up to Zeke and asked, “Is everything alright?”
“Apologies, Ms. Hinton. We arrested your husband without proper investigation,” Brent said hurriedly. “Mr. Williams
is innocent, and we sincerely apologize for the trouble we have caused for both of you.”
Lacey heaved a huge sigh of relief as happy tears spilled from her eyes.
“I was so scared, Zeke! I couldn’t imagine how I was going to live without you...”
“I’m fine, Lacey! No need to worry,” Zeke cooed, wiping her tears away with his fingers. “Let’s clean up the office
first.”
Lacey nodded. “Okay.”
Brent looked at the mess in the office and asked curiously, “Ms. Hinton, did someone trash the office?”
Lacey nodded again.
“Leave it to us. I promise this kind of nonsense won’t happen ever again!” Brent said confidently. “Just drop us a call
whenever someone intrudes upon your property!”
Brent took out a copy of his name card from his pocket and handed it to Lacey with both hands.
Lacey was delighted by his gesture.
There’s no need to fear when the director of the police station is on our side!
Brent exited the office only after seeking approval from Zeke.
He ran into Cobra, who had been kneeling at the door with an anguished expression, the moment he stepped out of
the building.
“I’ll let you off this time, Zeke Williams! Once Drake arrives tomorrow, I’ll break every bone in your body with my
bare hands!” He snarled.
That night, the four most prominent families managed to put together a hundred billion for Zeke just barely ahead
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof his deadline.
After losing a total of a hundred and fifty billion, their finances had taken a massive blow.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they have essentially been sucked dry.
The public was once again shocked by this unbelievable series of events.
Not only did Zeke get rid of half their family members, but they also even had to pay him a hundred and fifty billion
with no strings attached.
The four most prominent families? More like the four most pitiful losers!
Never have they been so thoroughly defeated before...
Drake is coming tomorrow! Maybe he can turn everything around...
Everyone looked forward to the showdown.
The next morning, the roads outside Trust Media were crammed with curious people eager to catch a glimpse of
Drake when he arrived that evening.
However, a rumbling sound shook the ground at around ten o’clock in the morning, which was way ahead of the
time that Drake was supposed to arrive.
A helicopter had emerged from the clouds, and it hovered just above the crowds of people standing outside.
