Chapter 452
Lord Protector Novel
With a look of disdain, Zeke said, âI know youâre just the dog with a master behind the scenes. But your master has yet to show themselves. They donât have the guts to go against me in public. Theyâre nothing but a spineless worm.â
Logan snarled, âPreposterous! How dare you insult them. Back then, they did not show themselves because youâre not worth their time, not from fear. Itâs a waste of their time to deal with you directly, but it has changed. You have proven your capability. Moreover, youâve insulted them today. Iâm sure they will crush you personally. Expect your demise. Men, weâll take our leaves now.â
He was about to recall his men when Zeke stopped him. âHold on. Youâve brought so many men to mess up my event today, and youâve bullied my people. How can you leave without apologizing?â
Logan scoffed, âApology? My ass! Iâm from the military, and youâre from the underworld. You can never be anything in front of me. Youâre asking the great to apologize to the lowly. Dream on.â
âThe great and the lowly. Let me tell you this today. Everyone has to behave on my turf. I donât care who you are. In here, I am God.â
The crowd was silent.
Heâs beyond maniacal.
For a man who was involved in the underworld, he should be avoiding government officials like Logan at all costs. I canât believe that heâs forcing Hugh to call him âUncleâ.
Even if he does, will Williams dare to respond?
Lacey whispered, âZeke, forget it. Itâs tough for us to prove our innocence. Letâs not make things worse.â
Zeke replied firmly, âNo way. Iâm the only one allowed to bully you. No outsiders can do this. He must say âuncleâ today.â
Logan cackled, âFantastic! I want to see what you will do if I refuse to do as you say. Will you kill me?â
That was exactly what he wanted.
All he needed was to charge Zeke with police assault. It would guarantee jail time.
Suddenly, Zeke turned to Hades. âHades, according to what I know, there are traces of poison in the residue of your tonic. If thereâs poison in it, why arenât you dead?â
Hades answered, âI saw someone spiking it. Thatâs why I didnât drink it.â
Zeke inquired, âOh? Who was it?â
Hades replied, âSomeone from the Necromancer Assassin Organization.â
âYou have a grudge against someone from the Necromancer Assassin Organization?â
Hades shook his head.
Zeke continued, âThat means someone asked them to poison your tonic. Do you know who that is?â
Hades shook his head again. âThat man was strong. I couldnât stop him from escaping. Naturally, I couldnât ask who was the mastermind.â
Zeke smiled. âThe world is only so big. Where can he escape to?â
At that, he took out his phone and made a call. âHave you gotten the confession yet? Hm? Does the man refuse to say anything? Thatâs normal. Without a strong will, he wouldnât have joined the Necromancer Assassin Organization. Keep interrogating him. If you still canât get an answer, hand him over to the military. I heard that thereâs a place called Wolfâs Den in the military where no one can keep their secrets to themselves.â
