Chapter 794
Lord Protector Novel
Sage was in a dilemma.
She would have willingly got on her knees for her god and her parents, but not for someone like the woman in front of her.
Xander threatened, âAre you still keen on treating your father?â
âOkay. Iâll kneel.â Sage bit her lips before she slowly bent her knees.
âDonât kneel!â
A loud voice echoed in the hall.
The crowd was shocked, and they all turned in the direction of the voice.
Whoâs the one who dares to shout like this in the middle of a wedding?
Arenât they afraid of crossing the Moore family? They might chop them into pieces!
Naturally, the one who had shouted was Zeke.
No one in the crowd could recognize him; everyone launched themselves into a heated discussion.
âWho is this young man? I donât recognize his face.â
âHe doesnât look like a relative from the groomâs side. Hm? Arenât those two old people beside him the brideâs parents?â
âSh*t. Really? The brideâs parents are beggars? Didnât they say the bride came from a prestigious family?â
âYou idiot. Mr. Mooreâs obviously lying because he didnât want anyone to know heâs marrying a poor woman.â
âHaha! I canât believe Mr. Moore is marrying a beggarâs daughter. This is hilarious!â
âThe young man that shouted must be the son. He must be the brideâs brother.â
âYouâre thinking too much. The brideâs brother is a deserter. Heâs long dead. This young man must be one of the poor relatives of the bride.â
âPft!â
âHaha!â
âPft!â
âHaha!â
Laughter filled the air.
Xander was slowly losing his mind.
He had spent so much effort in concealing the fact that Sage came from a poor family.
However, this one man had ruined all his efforts.
At that moment, he wished he could skin Zeke alive and tear his spine apart!
Zeke walked up the stage.
His footsteps were steady, and his back was straight. The way he carried himself was an invisible pressure that weighed down on the guests below.
Is he really just a poor relative from the brideâs family?
Xander gritted his teeth as he looked at Zeke. âWho are you? Itâs my wedding today. I donât want to have a bloodbath here. Leave immediately.â
Zeke ignored him; it would be a waste of time for him to answer the other man.
He walked to Sageâs side and gently tidied up her messy hair. âIâm sorry. Iâm late.â
All of a sudden, Sage, who had been unconfident the entire time, had found a sense of safety from the unfamiliar young man.
She whispered, âWho are you?â
Zeke smiled. âIâm your brotherâs comrade.â
âMy brotherâs comrade!â Sage grew excited.
Her brother had left her for too long that his face was starting to fade even in her dreams.
She had never thought of a day where she could meet an old friend of her brother.
Xander laughed, âAnd here I thought you were someone important. It turns out youâre just that deserterâs comrade! Does that mean youâre a deserter too?â
Hm?
A dangerous glint flashed in Zekeâs eyes. Without any hesitation, he gave Xander a hard slap.
âYou have no right to insult me, and you have no right to insult a brave soldier.â
Hiss!
The crowd drew in their breaths.
This young man sure is daring!
Heâs just a deserter, but he has the guts to slap Xander in public.
After all, Xander belonged to one of the four main families in Atheville.
Does he not know the Moore family can easily have him killed just by lifting their finger?
Xander held onto his cheek as he looked at Zeke in disbelief. âD- Did you just hit me? Did you?â
Zeke kicked him without hesitation again.
âNot only did I just hit you, but I kicked you too.â
His kick had sent Xanderâs prosthetic leg flying.
The sight of Xander without a leg was a hilarious one.
Some started laughing despite the tense atmosphere.
F*ck!
Xanderâs face flushed red.
This is so embarrassing! This is so embarrassing for the Moore family!
âDie! You have to die!â
