Chapter 839
Lord Protector Novel
He had almost forgotten the name âFrederickâ.
But Frederickâs friend had returned recently, and his methods were shockingly cruel. He had buried Xander alive and had actually thrown Joseph Zelly off a building.
Thus, Patrick had been thinking about Frederick recently.
Now that this strange man before him mentioned Frederick...
An ominous feeling crept upon him, and he asked, âWho are you?â
Zeke put on his white gloves slowly and replied, âStupid fool. Havenât you guessed my identity by now?â
Patrick replied solemnly, â Youâre Zeke Williams, Frederickâs buddy. Are you the culprit behind the two recent murders in Atheville?â
Zeke nodded.
Patrick took a deep breath before replying, âI knew you would look for me eventually, but I didnât know you would come so soon. Fine. I shall send you to your death earlier than what I have planned initially.â
With that, Patrick whipped out his gun from behind him. he was about to shoot Zeke when Wolfâs Greed leapt into action before Patrick pulled the trigger.
With a slight move of Wolfâs Greedâs hand, a dagger slipped from under his sleeve into his hand.
Grabbing the dagger, he threw it at Patrickâs wrist in a move as fast as lightning.
âAh!â
Patrick yelled a painful cry. The dagger pierced through his wrist and stuck on the wall, effectively pinning Patrick against it. The gun in Patrickâs hand had long dropped onto the ground.
The wall was stained red with his blood.
âMurder! Someone is committing murder now!â
Everyone who caught sight of this terrifying scene screamed in shock and scrambled out of the way.
Indeed, in this time and age, an ordinary person would never be exposed to such a bloody scene in their entire lifetime. It was no wonder everyone had run off in terror.
Zeke rolled his eyes at Wolfâs Greed. âCould you have been any slower? You must have been slacking off from your usual martial arts practice.â
Guilt flashed across Wolfâs Greedâs face as he apologized, âZeke, Iâm sorry. I did not expect this fellow to carry a gun on him.â
Anyone who overheard their conversation would be utterly astonished. Any ordinary person would not react in time before Patrick almost pulled the trigger just now. Wolfâs Greed was already fast as lightning, yet Zeke had scolded him for being too slow. That was crazy!
Zeke stated, âSomeone told me that my buddy, Frederick, was severely injured by you after his return to Atheville. Tell me, how did you hurt him? I will hurt you in the same way!
Patrick was not terrified upon hearing Zekeâs words. The man had actually smiled.
His smile was eerily scary, with the blood dripping down from the corners of his mouth to his chin.
âFine. I have underestimated you. Not only will I let you know how I have hurt him, but I will also show you who has hurt him today.â
âFine. I have underestimated you. Not only will I let you know how I have hurt him, but I will also show you who has hurt him today.â
Patrick had been no match for Hunting Wolf, so he had sought help from his accomplices to kill him together.
Patrick yelled in the direction of the door, âCome out if you have seen enough.â
The door of Patrickâs car opened, and four burly men got out of the car.
The four men were unshaven, but the murderous aura emitting from them was enough to strike fear in anyone.
The sales agents kept a far distance away from them.
At the sight of the four men, Serena, who had been initially terrified to the core, returned to her arrogant ways.
âThe Four Divinities! The Four Divinities have actually shown up personally! Williams, you will surely be dead today!â
Zeke curiously looked at Wolfâs Greed. âWho are they?â
âThereâs a group of bandits in the Earth Emperorâs Mountains, and these four men are among the strongest in that group. Others named them as âThe Four Divinitiesâ, as their martial arts prowess is better than anyone else other than the leader of the bandits.â
Zeke raised a brow. âThere are still bandits in this era now? Why doesnât anyone get rid of them?â
