Chapter 1543
Lord Protector Novel
The old man seemed nervous, as he quickly shot a look at the parrot.
In an instant, the parrot flew back to its original spot.
However, Zeke had noticed the old manâs actions. Now, he was certain, that the old man was the parrotâs owner.
It was impossible for the parrot to understand him with a mere look unless it had been with him for decades.
A hint of disappointment seeped into his heart.
He had thought that the owner of the parrot would be Pietro.
Zeke walked toward him and muttered, âMister, you must be the owner of the parrot.â
The old man shook his head. âWhat parrot? I donât know what youâre talking about.â
Zeke laughed.
Not everyone could lie through their teeth in his face, without so much as batting an eyelash. Especially not a mere attendant.
This man isnât a simple man.
Zeke turned to Jaime. âI want this old man.â
What?
The old man thundered, âWhat do you want an old man for? Iâm not going to come with you. My familyâs been working for the Carter sect for generations. The Carter sect will be the place Iâll remain at, until my death. I wonât leave the Carter sect.â
Zeke uttered, âThatâs not up to your decision.â
âGive up. I wonât come with you,â the old man repeated.
With that, he took a step towards the courtyard, planning to return.
However, Zeke grabbed the parrot and threatened, âIf you donât come with me, Iâll crush it.â
What the f***...
The old man was close to cursing aloud.
Heâs the Great Marshal. Why is he acting like a thug?
Jaimeâs brows furrowed.
He still could not understand why Zeke was adamant, about taking an attendant away.
It seemed like the attendant was no ordinary man.
He must have had some secrets with him.
Jaime swiftly interrupted, âStop, Great Marshal. He was born into the Carter sect, and heâll die as a man of the Carter sect. How can you just take him away like this?â
Zeke looked at him. âDo remember that Iâm ordering you, not discussing with you. He has to come with me. If you stop me, Iâll blow up the Carter sect.â
You...
Jaime was purple with rage.
Zeke then grabbed the old man and started dragging him away.
The old man shrieked hysterically, âSir, save me! Please let me work for the Carter sect for the rest of my life! Stop this man!â
The expression on Jaimeâs face drastically changed, and he thought of stopping Zeke several times.
However, when he thought about their hundred-year plan, he stopped himself.
It was not worth it, for him to destroy the hundred-year plan for an old man.
When the old man realized that Jaime was not going to intervene, he fell silent, with a look of disappointment.
Iâd been hoping that Zeke and Jaime would fight.
It seems like Iâve overestimated my worth.
Zeke inquired, âWhatâs your name?â
The old man replied, âThey call me Nameless.â
Zeke continued, âMr. Nameless, why did you send me the message about Ares?â
Nameless answered, âIâve told you that the parrotâs not mine. Iâm not the one whoâd sent you the message.â
Zeke hummed, âI didnât say the message was sent to me with the parrot.â
The old man fell silent.
D*** it. I was too careless.
Zeke then asked, âMr. Nameless, may I ask what is the relationship you have with my mentor, Master Pietro? Iâm sure that you know where he is right now, donât you?â
Nameless answered nonchalantly, âI donât even know you. Why would I know your mentor?â
Zeke smirked. âIs that so? Iâm sure youâll tell me.â
Abruptly, he picked up his speed.
