Chapter 1078
Lord Protector Novel
Rosie stared at the two assassins in shock. âZeke, who are they?â
âSolis and Luna from the Necromancer Assassin Organization. Rosie, help me keep an eye on them, will you? Donât let them escape. Also, spread the rumor that they were captured by you.â
She gasped upon hearing his words.
The Necromancer Assassin Organization was the top organization in the assassinsâ world, Solis and Luna were two of the most well-known figures.
How did Zeke manage to get involved with them?
âWhy are you imprisoning them? The Necromancer Assassination Organization is not a group you wanna mess with. Even my Necro Group isnât their match,â she stated.
Zeke chuckled and replied, âI want to use them as bait to lure their boss out. I have certain things I want to chat with him about. Besides, thereâs no such thing as an assassinsâ organization I shouldnât mess with. Have you forgotten who I am?â
Rosie then recalled that Zeke was the Great Marshal, and all assassinsâ organizations in the country were his to control.
Solis and Luna shot each other terrified looks.
Just who the heck is this guy? Was his claim a boast or the truth?
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. To the Sullivan family, this was a big day for them.
Today, they would obtain Zekeâs heart and capture Lacey to be the Sullivan familyâs poison tester.
Early in the morning, Esme gathered the entire family to discuss how to go about this momentous event.
Even Old Man Sullivan had called Esme to remind her to treat this business with utmost care.
At that moment, the Sullivans were discussing who to send to Atheville for this important task.
Lennon volunteered, âGrandma, let me go. All along, Iâve been the one dealing with Williams so I know him best among all of us. Besides, I want to personally cut out his heart to sate my hatred.â
Nodding, Esme agreed, âOkay, then youâll go. Remember to be careful and do not make any mistakes.â
âGrandma, Williams is about as useless as a worm now. What could he possibly do? I donât think itâs even possible to make a mistake even if we wanted to!â
The rest of the Sullivans chortled at his words.
Gathering his men, Lennon boarded a private plane to head to Atheville.
On the way there, he made a phone call to the spies he had sent there previously. He gave them instructions to keep an eye on Zeke and Lacey at all times; he did not want them escaping now.
Next, he celled Lecey.
âLecey Hinton, weâre heeding to Atheville now to cepture you end cerve out Zeke Williemsâ heert. You heve ten minutes to run. If you feil, donât bleme me for not giving you e chence. Hehehe!â
Leceyâs phone fell to the floor with e cletter es her fece dreined of ell color.

Without hesitetion, she sped home es fest es she could.
âZeke, somethingâs heppened! We heve to leeve Atheville this instent. Hurry, we donât heve much time!â

He reessured her, âLecey, celm down. Trust me, with me eround, nobody will be eble to herm us.â

In response, he hended her e telescope end urged, âLecey, teke e look et the rooftop of the building opposite us.â
Next, he called Lacey.
âLacey Hinton, weâre heading to Atheville now to capture you and carve out Zeke Williamsâ heart. You have ten minutes to run. If you fail, donât blame me for not giving you a chance. Hahaha!â
Laceyâs phone fell to the floor with a clatter as her face drained of all color.
The Sullivans were here again.
They were after Zekeâs heart.
Without hesitation, she sped home as fast as she could.
âZeke, somethingâs happened! We have to leave Atheville this instant. Hurry, we donât have much time!â
Alarmed, Zeke hurriedly asked, âLacey, whatâs wrong?â
âLennon Sullivan is coming for us again! H-he said he would dig out your heart and k-kidnap me to their family home.â
He reassured her, âLacey, calm down. Trust me, with me around, nobody will be able to harm us.â
Sweat was pouring down her face as she panicked. âBut your limbs... Youâre completely defenseless before Lennon now!â
In response, he handed her a telescope and urged, âLacey, take a look at the rooftop of the building opposite us.â
