Chapter 807
Lord Protector Novel
Unbeknownst to him, Sole Wolf was busy consoling Sage. He didnât have the time to think about his friend.
Zeke returned to find everyone paying their respects to Frederick. Standing in front of the manâs photograph, they began to express their sincere regrets and well wishes.
The Walters family was no longer what they used to be. With the protection of the Atheville army and the Great Marshal, they were now the prized treasure of Octagon Row.
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf was going through a phone.
He quickly walked up to Zeke after seeing him. âThere really is something up with Quincy Lang, Zeke.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Sole Wolf handed the phone over. âThis is the phone Quincy left behind. I found a five-million transfer notice in it. How would he have so much money? Heâs just a small-town doctor.â
âWhen was the transfer made?â Zeke asked sternly.
âJust an hour ago.â
Zeke was rather certain that this sum of unknown origins had something to do with Quincyâs attempted murder of Joshua.
âWe have to find out where the money came from.â
âYeah. Iâve already assigned someone to get it done.â
Not long after, Sole Wolfâs phone rang.
He quickly picked it up.
A moment later, he began to exude an intimidating aura.
He said to Zeke softly, âIt came from the Moore family, one of the four major clans in Atheville. It was from Xander Moore.â
He said to Zeke softly, âIt came from the Moore family, one of the four major clans in Atheville. It was from Xander Moore.â
âXander Moore!â Zeke gritted his teeth. âHeâs definitely the one who instigated Quincy to kill Mr.
Walters. It looks like the Moore family hasnât learned their lesson. This time, weâll completely wipe them out.â
âOkay. By the way, itâs Xanderâs fatherâs death anniversary tomorrow. Why donât we take the chance to give Xander and his family a major reunion with his father?â
Zeke couldnât help but gasp. âHis fatherâs death anniversary? But theyâre holding a wedding ceremony tomorrow too. Thatâs rather strange. What if...â
âWhat are you thinking, Zeke?â Sole Wolf asked, trembling with fear.
âExactly what youâre thinking.â
F**k!
Sole Wolfâs eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his teeth. âWhat a bunch of animals! How could they do such a thing? The Moore family must die!â
After the residents were done paying their respects to Frederick, Zeke instructed them, âEverything that just happened is a national secret. The military court will come for you if any of you exposes todayâs incidents.â
Everyone immediately consented.
Thereâs no joking about this. This young man knows Shawn Thompson. Itâs also highly possible he was the one who called the army over. He must be an extremely powerful figure.
Commoners like us canât afford to cross him.
After the neighbors left, Zeke gave the Walters family a few words of comfort before asking, âCould you tell me how Frederick died, Mr. Walters?â
Joshua sighed helplessly. âWell, itâs a long story. The four major households of today didnât even exist five years ago. The Walters family stood alone as the top clan in Atheville.â
Zeke and Sole Wolf were rather surprised.
Who would have thought the Walters family were once a prominent family?
Yet, it had taken them only five years to end up in such a state.
Joshua continued, âFive years ago, Frederick, who had been part of the army for a long time, came home in the pouring rain. That night, he was covered in injuries and on the brink of death. He had practically lost consciousness, but he continued to tightly hold a document in his arms, refusing to let anyone touch it. I didnât care about that document back then. All I wanted was to save my son, so I took him to the emergency ward. Frederickâs fiancé, Helen Zelly, dropped by that night and volunteered to watch over him. Yet, he died that very night. Then, Helen suddenly went missing, along with the document Frederick was holding onto.â
