Chapter 355
Lord Protector Novel
Hades let out a laugh before saying, âNow go.â
âIf things proceed smoothly, Iâll appoint the Hintonâs as the leading family in Riverdale.â
âThe Forrest Family has failed me. They are not worthy of leading the Riverdale District.â
Aaron was so excited that he was on the verge of tears. âRest assured Mr. Yate, I wonât disappoint you.â
As soon as he hung up, Aaron immediately summoned Michael.
âMichael, contact the exhumation team right away, as soon as possible.â
âGrandpa, why do we need an exhumation team? Whose grave are we moving?â asked Michael.
âMoving the grave is simply a front,â answered Aaron.
âThe real purpose is for us to become filthy rich, replacing the Forrest family as the leaders of the Riverdale District.â
Michael had even more questions than answers.
However, this was not the time to be asking questions as his grandfather had just emphasized the urgency of the matter.
Meanwhile, Zeke was driving Lacey and Nancy to an apparel store.
The reason why they were heading there was that Zeke had wanted to participate in the ceremony. To his misfortune, he had no appropriate outfits to wear. Lacey had no choice but to bring him to the nearest apparel store.
On the way there, Zeke received a call from Sole Wolf.
He hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided to answer.
âBrother, are you participating in the Hinton familyâs ceremony? Iâll be attending too,â announced Sole Wolf from the other side of the phone.
Zeke furrowed his brows before saying, âWhat for?â
Sole Wolf sighed, âRemember when Iâd helped you get rid of Samuel a few days back? There are rumors spreading that I was doing it for you.â
âIn order to conceal your identity, I had no choice but to fabricate a lie, saying that I was indebted to a certain ancestor of the Hintonâs.â
âThe story has it that I initially came here to attend the ceremony, as I was indebted to a certain ancestor of the Hintonâs. Nonetheless, it was pure coincidence that I was met with the ruckus, created by the underworld thugs. Hence, I had them sorted, out of justice.â
âYou are smarter than I thought,â commended Zeke.
âHehe, it was actually my officerâs idea,â pronounced Sole Wolf gleefully. It was apparent that he was elated by that quasi-compliment.
âHaha, I knew it. Come over if you wish,â offered Zeke.
âAlright brother.â
âZeke, who was on the phone?â asked Lacey impatiently, as soon as the call ended.
âIt was General North, heâs said that he will be attending the ceremony,â answered Zeke.
Nancy glanced at Zeke before she nonchalantly took out her cellphone. âHello is this the Great Marshal? Thereâs a braggart over here and I donât think I can deal with this,â mocked Nancy, pretending to be speaking on the phone.
This rendered Zeke speechless.
Fine, you win this time.
The three of them arrived at a western apparel shop.
Lacey carefully selected a tuxedo suit before she had Zeke try it out.
âHmmph, such a nice suit would be wasted on a man like him. You canât change a manâs innate trait, no matter what kind of clothes you have him put on,â drawled Nancy sarcastically.
Lacey was at a loss for words. âNancy, isnât that a little too much? What makes you dislike him so much anyway?â
âWhat do you mean? I was actually going easy on him.â
âIâll have him know that it isnât that easy to leech on my sister.â
âFine, do as you wish,â relented Lacey as she shrugged.
It did not take long for Zeke to come out of the fitting room. âHoney, isnât this a little tight?â
âI think Iâm more comfortable with the casual clothes.â
âHoney, say something. What do you think Nancy?â
âWhat is going on with you two?â
