Chapter 694
Lord Protector Novel
Once again, more than ten thousand people gathered within a space in Rivermouth.
Almost everyone had come to watch the battle.
Although they had to watch from afar, getting a glimpse of Master Williams in flesh was more than enough for them.
Martial Arts Association had also set up barriers by the borders, stopping the crowd from entering.
Only those from noble families who had tickets were allowed into the protected space to watch the battle close-up.
By the time Zeke and Lacey reached, the location was already crowded with people. They could barely walk through the crowd.
Not even a celebrityâs concert was as packed as this.
After squeezing through the crowd with difficulty, Lacey said to Zeke, âZeke, wait for me here. Iâll come back after Iâve given my thanks to Master Williams.
Without giving him a chance to reply, she went straight to the ticket validation entrance.
Zeke was at a loss for words.
Damn it. Why canât you believe that my tickets are real?
Right then, Franklin arrived. He pointed double middle fingers at Zeke before rushing after Lacey.
âLacey, these two tickets were bought with my ID. I have to be there for the tickets to be valid.â
Lacey nodded helplessly.
âOkay then.â
She handed her ticket to Franklin.
Casually, Franklin gave the two tickets to the inspector before moving to enter the area with Lacey.
However, the inspector stopped them suddenly.
âWait. These tickets are fake. Youâre not allowed into the area.â
âHow could this be?â Franklin shrieked, âIâm a member of the Martial Arts Association. These tickets are for the members. How could they be fake? You must have gotten it wrong. Check them again.â
The inspector impatiently shoved the tickets under the scanner. On the screen, a single word was displayedâ INVALID.
The inspector fumed, âAre you satisfied now? Get lost!â
Lacey glared at Franklin.
âYou lied to me!â
Franklin was dumbfounded.
âNo, I didnât. Lacey, I didnât lie to you! These tickets were given to me by the vice-president of the Martial Arts Association. How could these be fake? Iâm sure your system is faulty.â
Just then, Zeke came over and handed the inspector his tickets.
âThese are for my wife and me.â
Franklin fumed, âWilliams, arenât you persistent? Do you think the inspector is a fool? I canât believe youâre trying to get into the area with two fake tickets. Apparently my real tickets arenât valid, let alone yours...â
When the inspector saw the two VIP tickets, he was bewildered.
When the inspector saw the two VIP tickets, he was bewildered.
There were only five of these tickets, and all of them were in the hands of powerful, prominent figures.
One noble family could only get one VIP ticket at most.
However, this young man in front of him had two. That meant that he had a status higher than those of noble families.
When Lacey noticed the inspectorâs silence, she thought that Zekeâs tickets were fake as well.
Feeling embarrassed, she tugged at Zekeâs hand, signaling him to leave.
âZeke, letâs go...â
It was only then the inspector came back to his senses. His palms were now sweating.
He quickly lowered his head respectfully and uttered, âSir, Maâam, this way please. Iâll bring you to your seats.â
As he spoke, he opened the gates for them and gestured for them to enter.
Huh?
Lacey was stupefied.
Zekeâs tickets are real?
A similar look of shock was on Franklinâs face.
He refused to believe that his tickets were fake while Zekeâs were real.
What the hell is going on?
How did Williams, a kept man, get those tickets? From the inspectorâs attitude, his tickets are of a higher grade than the normal ones!
