Chapter 479
Lord Protector Novel
Swish!
Zeke suddenly kicked a pebble on the floor. The pebble shot toward a dark corner in the southwest direction.
âOuch!â
A wail was heard from the corner as the pebble disappeared into the darkness.
Sole Wolf hobbled out from the corner swiftly afterwards. âHow did you discover me, bro? I was even holding my breath earlier.â
âYou need to smoke less in the future. I caught whiffs of the tobacco smell on you even from afar.â
Sole Wolf was displeased. âDo you have the nose of a dog? Why are you so sensitive toward smell...â
Hm?
Zeke was infuriated. He kicked Sole Wolf forcefully.
Youâre getting too full of yourself to compare me to a dog, Sole Wolf!
âOuch!â Sole Wolf screamed in pain again.
âWhere is the assassin that we captured?â Zeke asked.
Lone Wolf pointed at a small room in the corner. âHeâs inside the detention chamber.â
Zeke said, âLetâs go and visit him.â
The trio walked toward the detention chamber.
Zeke chastened, âOne of you is the person in charge of the Provincial Military District while the other is the General North. But both of you are guarding a mere assassin in person at this place. Donât you think youâre wasting your time and talent? How many times have I told you? You couldâve just sent one of your subordinates to assist me.â
Sole Wolf chuckled. âBro, thatâs because we have missed you.â
âCut the crap. Why do you miss me? Both of you are not getting any younger. Itâs time for you to consider marriage. Does any one of you have a girl that you like? I can ask Lacey to fix you up.â
Sole Wolf replied in a hurry, âBro, we are not getting married before you do. By the way, whatâs going on with you and Lacey? When are you hosting a wedding ceremony?â
âSoon. Weâve accomplished all the important steps every couple must experience. All thatâs left for us to do is to get married,â Zeke answered.
Lone Wolfâs eyes gleamed. âHaha. Bro, Iâve told you right from the start. Thatâs the only element lacking in your relationship with Lacey. Have you finished all the condoms I gave you? That was a limited edition product from overseas. Iâll order more for you if youâve depleted the stock.â
Zekeâs face darkened at once. This asshole embarrassed me in front of Lacey when he gave me the Durex.
Zeke kicked Lone Wolf immediately after the latterâs speech. âIâll skin you alive if you continue to meddle in my matters.â
Above the underground casino.
A weird customer entered the hardware store.
The person was skinny and dressed in the same outfit as the shopkeeper. She was wearing a cap, so it was difficult to discern her appearance.
The aged shopkeeper glanced at the personâs peculiar behavior and sensed something odd. âWhat are you looking for?â
âIâm looking for a key.â
âWhat key?â
âThe key to the basement.â
The aged man shook his head. âIâm sorry. I donât have that.â
âThe key to the basementâ was a code phrase used by gamblers to enter the underground casino in the past.
The code phrase was no longer valid after the casino was shut down.
But the suspicious person did not show any intention to leave.
She sneered, âIâll have to enter by force if you do not have the key.â
The person advanced in the aged manâs direction with malicious intent after she spoke.
The shopkeeper tensed up instantaneously as a thought popped into his mind. This person is up to no good!
He hurriedly extended his hand to take out the gun inside the drawer.
But it was too late.
The mysterious person hastened her steps forward.
Her movements were swift as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared before the aged shopkeeper and cut his throat.
The aged man passed out as everything went dark before he could even reach for the gun.
The person dragged and hid the aged manâs body behind the counter. Then she removed her cap.
That person was none other than Hadley Murphy.
