Chapter 847
Lord Protector Novel
Wolfâs Greed scoffed in disdain, âI donât mind teaching you a lesson myself, but if you delay my time, Patrick might end up dead. It wonât be my responsibility but yours.â
Damianâs heart skipped a beat.
His dignity was worth nothing in comparison with his sonâs safety.
He bellowed, âStop!â
The bodyguard quickly stood still as they held back on their fury.
Damian kneeled on the ground as he stared at Zeke with reddened eyes. âPlease return my son to me.â
Zeke uttered, âBefore they clear their debts with Dr. Collins, I wonât give you your son back.â
Damian was about to argue but he knew that it was pointless to argue with him. All it would do was just delaying the time.
Zeke was a ruthless man who would bury someone alive; he would not listen to my words.
Now, time was crucial to Patrickâs life.
He looked at Uriel and the rest. âTen minutes. Iâll give you ten minutes to clear your debts. If your delay cost my son his life, Iâll murder every one of you.â
Uriel and the rest shut their eyes in desperation.
They had been hoping for Damian to stand up for them, but Zeke had leverage over Damian. Damian had become a tool for his revenge.
They had to pay ten times the amount they owed; they did not know where to find the money to settle their debt.
Even if they were to go bankrupt, they might not be able to cover the amount.
However, if they did not come up with the money, their families would be doomed. A man like Zeke would definitely not go back on his words.
The one who was most frustrated in the crowd was Seamus.
Originally, all he had to pay was two hundred million, but he had raised it to one billion himself.
He was a fool for suggesting that.
There was no way he could come up with the sum even if he sold himself, so he had prepared to escape.
Damian fumed, âWhy are you all still standing here? Hurry up and sell your assets to repay your debts!â
They all rushed out of the door. Now, their lives were dependent on time. If they did not repay their debts in ten minutes, they were all bound for death.
Harry said gratefully, âYoung man, I-I donât know how to thank you. Garden Grove is a family business that had been passed down for generations. If I ruined it, I donât know how much guilt I would feel.
Youâve protected Garden Grove. Youâre the savior of the Collins family.â
Zeke waved his hands dismissively. âThis is nothing. I need to restore your reputation too. For doctors, reputation is vital.â
He then looked in the direction of Faith and the others. âConfess how youâve tarnished Dr. Collinsâ
reputation.â
At that moment, Faith wished that she could kill herself on the spot.
If she had known that these two young men were as powerful, she would not have come up to them in the first place.
Now, she had doomed the tycoons of the pharmaceutical industry in Atheville, and she was the one who caused the head of the Count family to apologize on his knees.
Moreover, the few of them would be lucky to get off with tarnished reputation and constant mocking from people around them. In a worst-case scenario, they could even lose their lives.
When Zeke noticed their hesitation in answering, he asked Wolfâs Greed, âHow much longer will Patrick be alive for?â
Wolfâs Greed replied, âTen minutes? Nine? Maybe eight. Only God knows.â
Damian widened his eyes and glared at Faith.âF*ck, confess now!â
Faith and the others shuddered at his volume as they immediately confessed.
âIâll say it. Three years ago, the patient that died from Harryâs supposed medical malpractice was my husband. I was the one who poisoned him. Two years ago, I was the one who had swapped the medications when Harry supposedly sold fake medicines. Weâve been lying all these years to slander Harry and ruin his reputation.â
The others swiftly confessed too.
At that moment, Faith wished that she could kill herself on the spot.
