Chapter 980
Lord Protector Novel
Lucilleâs face turned bright red from anger. âDid you just call me an old witch?â
âYeah. Repeat after me... An old witch,â Nancy answered, drawing out the last three words in emphasis.
Dawn blinked dumbly.
Hahahaha!
Here I was, thinking that this old witch was mean. Nancy is on a whole different level, and in a really satisfying way!
Lucille was so furious that she could not speak.
Nancy pressed forth, âZeke, show the evidence to this old witch and prove our innocence.â
Zeke threw his phone towards Lucille.
Lucille felt nothing but blind terror after she finished watching the video.
In the video, Ryker was kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at his own head, with a look of remorse sprawled on his face.
âIâd colluded with bandits and framed innocent civilians. I have committed a grave crime. I have broken the principles of the military and also the trust of the people.â
âIâm willing to offer my life as penance!â
Bang!
A gunshot sounded and Ryker fell onto his own a pool of blood.
His eyes were still wide open as though his soul was in eternal torment!
The phone in Lucilleâs hand dropped to the ground.
Her face paled with disbelief.
Ryker took his own life? How is that possible?
He mustâve been forced by Zeke!
Lucilleâs face turned bright red from anger. âDid you just call me an old witch?â
It turns out that Iâd greatly underestimated Zekeâs capabilities!
She took a deep breath and recomposed herself before gritting out, âVery well. It seems like I have underestimated you, Zeke Williams.â
âJust you wait. Now that youâve driven Ryker to his death, the Lewis family will do everything in their power to destroy you.â
âDonât forget, the Lewis family has a secret weapon!â
âYou and your Linton Group will perish!â
She walked out on unsteady feet, looking like she had just aged at least a decade.
Before she was out of the room, Zeke spoke, âThis is my last warning to you. Youâd better give up your control over the Williams family...â He paused abruptly.
âOh, I forgot. The Williams family has become the Lewis familyâs puppet, and you donât have a say in anything.â
âI will take down the Lewis family first, then make you watch as I take over the Williams family.â
âI want to prove to you that you made an extremely stupid decision for sending me to prison back then, supporting my twin brother as the head of the family.â
Lucille looked at Zeke with conflicting emotions. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Finally, she left without another word.
A sense of foreboding filled her heart. What he said, might very well become a reality!
As soon as Lucille left, everything surrounded Zeke.
âZeke, I really never expected that youâd come from a wealthy family such as the Williams family.â
âZeke, did that old witch really personally send you to prison?â
They sighed, âZeke, you mustâve suffered a lot in the Williams family.â
Zeke was peppered with questions, one after another.
He patiently cleared all of their doubts.
Hannah heaved a sigh, âZeke, I have also heard of the Lewis family. They are amongst the top powerful families in the whole of Eurasia.â
âWeâre now being targeted by them. What are you planning to do next?â
Zeke replied calmly, âIâm planning to move the Linton Group Headquarters to Atheville.â
âAtheville has a bigger market and more opportunities. The Linton Group can expand into a conglomerate. We can become nobles or even royalty!â
Hannah looked slightly worried. âBut Atheville is the Lewis familyâs territory. Wonât we be walking into the lionâs den by venturing there? Itâd be even easier for them to bring us down.â
âDo you all know what Iâm most worried about now?â Zeke asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
âWhat Iâm most worried about is that they wonât come to me, looking for trouble.â
âIf they donât, I wonât have an excuse to take them down.â
