Chapter 742
Lord Protector Novel
Caleb sighed on the other end of the line. âMr. Zachary, donât be too upset about it. Itâs nothing personal. We had no choice but to do this. There are certain people we really canât afford to offend.â
Gavin let out a mocking laugh. âYou even have no qualms admitting it? Very well. Just you wait. Iâll report this to Mr. Quin, and weâll see what his next orders are.â
Caleb sighed again before responding, âMr. Zachary, let me give you a piece of advice. Isnât it better to live your life as it is? Why do you have to bring trouble to your own doorstep? People like us canât afford to offend people like him, and Mr. Quin is no exception...â
âP*** off!â Gavin cursed. âYou deserve to f*****g die for insulting Mr. Quin!â
Mr. Quin had always been as steady as a mountain. However, the moment he heard that Gavin had failed to get rid of Zeke, and had even gotten swindled out of ten billion, he completely lost it and exploded with anger.
In a fit of rage, he threw the pet rabbit in his hand harshly to the ground, causing blood to splatter everywhere as the rabbit died from the impact.
âTrash! That good-for-nothing canât even deal with a foreign dog. What use do I have of him?â
His personal advisor, Draco, cautiously said, âMr. Quin, thereâs more to that Williams guy than meets the eye. So, itâs not completely surprising that Zachary played right into his hand.â
Mr. Quin shot a glare at Draco. âI know youâre on good terms with Gavin, but donât find excuses for him.
A failure is a failure. Itâs inexcusable.â
Draco dared not speak again.
Mr. Quin continued, âGet in touch with Reuben Mack and get him to kill Zeke Williams. Also, get back the ten billion that was cheated from us while youâre at it.â
Reuben Mack was a general under Mr. Quin, whose domain was âpowerâ. He had a position that was on par with Gavinâs.
Draco immediately nodded. âYes, Sir.â
Mr. Quin continued training the Siberian wolves he had just acquired.
âMy boys, grow up fast and strong. Iâm counting on you to support me.â
Inside the largest underground casino in Eastend.
Reuben welcomed Draco in an office filled with cash.
Draco looked at the pile of cash and smiled faintly. âIt seems like youâve hit the jackpot, Reub.â
Reuben casually threw a Yellow Crane Tower towards Draco. âJackpot my a**. No matter how much money I make, I still have to give it to that dog Gavin Zachary for safekeeping.â
Draco smirked. He knew that Reuben and Gavin had always been at odds with each other, so there was nothing much he could say.
He lit a cigarette and said, âReub, Mr. Quin was the one who sent me here this time. He has a mission for you.â
âGo on,â said Reuben.
Draco wasted no time. âMr. Quin wants you to eliminate Zeke Williams.â
âZeke Williams?â A frown formed between Reubenâs brows. âDidnât Gavin already accept this mission?â
Draco heaved a sigh. âGavin failed. He didnât just fail to kill Zeke Williams. He also lost ten billion to him... Mr. Quin is very angry.â
âHuh? Hahaha!â Reuben burst into laughter when he heard this. âI knew it! Gavin Zachary only knows how to make money, but heâs complete sh*t when it comes to killing people. I really donât know where he even got the courage to accept a mission that involved killing someone.â
When his laughter finally died down, Reuben said to Draco, âHead back and tell Mr. Quin to give me three days. I guarantee Iâll make Zeke Williams atone for his sins, and heâll be begging to be killed when Iâm finally done with him.â
Draco inhaled sharply before warning, âReub, let me remind you, this man isnât as easy to deal with as youâd think. Please donât underestimate him. A large part of Gavinâs failure was because he underestimated him.â
âYeah, yeah. I know.â Reuben impatiently responded. âIâll release my Thirteen Guardians upon him.
That should be enough, right?â
Draco shook his head. âReub, I think you should see to it personally and make sure the job is done.â
