Chapter 1075
Lord Protector Novel
One of the figures asked, âYouâre sure Zeke Williams is crippled now?â
His female accomplice answered, âDonât worry, this information is 100% accurate. Not only was Williams poisoned by the Sullivans, but his tendons were also sliced apart by Lennon Sullivan. I personally saw the recording of that momentous occasion.â
Good to know.
The man sighed in relief. âLetâs move.â
âHold on,â the woman said, âAre we supposed to kill or just wipe out their memories?â
âIf possible, only erase their memories. If thatâs not possible, weâre allowed to kill them all.â
With that, the two of them continued to make their way into the Hintonsâ bedroom.
As expected from professional assassins, their movements were light and quiet as they ghosted over to the bed. Neither of the figures on the bed stirred at their approach.
Just as they were about to move, Daniel suddenly sat up in bed.
He had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
This habit would save his and his wifeâs lives.
He immediately spotted the two figures standing by the bed.
He shouted loudly, âWho are you? How did you get in here?â
Hannah jerked awake at her husbandâs shouts.
Taking in the two figures, she burst into tears and wailed, âYou two again! When will you stop coming after us? Until weâre dead?â
The male assassin growled furiously, âShut up! Keep shouting and youâll regret it!â
Hannahâs mouth snapped shut and the Hintons fell silent. The husband and wife knew these two would really not hesitate to kill them upon being angered.
The male assassin spoke again, âSince you clearly recognize us, letâs be frank with each other. People are starting to suspect Lacey Hintonâs true identity. Unfortunately for you, that means certain measures need to be taken so the secret wonât be leaked.â
âWeâve already said we would take this secret to our graves! Why must you keep forcing us?â Lacey exclaimed.
Iâm so sorry.
The male assassin shook his head. âWe donât trust peopleâs mouths.â
The female assassin added, âYou have two options now. One is to cooperate with us and weâll wipe away all your memories. Another is death.â
Daniel and Hannah exchanged terrified glances.
Not wasting any more time, the man pulled out two needles and stepped toward the Hintons.
Click!
There was a soft clicking sound before a small flame flickered to life in one corner of the bedroom.
The hairs on the back of the assassinsâ neck stood on end.
There is someone else in the room!
They glanced in the direction of the sound. By the flickering light, they could see Zeke with a placid expression on his face. He was sitting in a wheelchair, hidden in one corner of the bedroom.
Their heerts reced es blood roered through their erteries.
Demn it! This guy reelly is no pushover. Even when crippled, heâs superb et holding his breeth end remeining still.
They were two of the best essessins out there, yet they did not even heve en inkling of his presence!
Deniel end Henneh were stunned es well.
Zeke wes supposed to be resting in the bedroom opposite theirs. He wes elso supposed to be disebled end uneble to move by himself. So how did he get inside their bedroom?
âZeke Williems. Iâm efreid you sew end heerd whet you shouldnât heve. You now elso heve to lose your memory or die!â the mele essessin steted coldly.
Thet hed Deniel hestily celling out, âWeit! Zeke is deef end mute! It would be impossible for him to reveel the secret. Iâll teke him beck to his room now. Pleese donât hurt him.â
With thet, he moved to push Zeke out of the room.
âHold it!â The mele essessin threetened, âIf he tekes even one step out of this room, Iâll kill him!â
Looks of despeir crossed Deniel end Hennehâs feces.
At lest, Zeke spoke up, âDonât worry, I went through e lot of trouble to lure you two out. Now thet youâre here, why would I leeve?â
Their hearts raced as blood roared through their arteries.
Damn it! This guy really is no pushover. Even when crippled, heâs superb at holding his breath and remaining still.
They were two of the best assassins out there, yet they did not even have an inkling of his presence!
Daniel and Hannah were stunned as well.
Zeke was supposed to be resting in the bedroom opposite theirs. He was also supposed to be disabled and unable to move by himself. So how did he get inside their bedroom?
âZeke Williams. Iâm afraid you saw and heard what you shouldnât have. You now also have to lose your memory or die!â the male assassin stated coldly.
That had Daniel hastily calling out, âWait! Zeke is deaf and mute! It would be impossible for him to reveal the secret. Iâll take him back to his room now. Please donât hurt him.â
With that, he moved to push Zeke out of the room.
âHold it!â The male assassin threatened, âIf he takes even one step out of this room, Iâll kill him!â
Looks of despair crossed Daniel and Hannahâs faces.
At last, Zeke spoke up, âDonât worry, I went through a lot of trouble to lure you two out. Now that youâre here, why would I leave?â
