Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 351

Choosing to remain silent, Lacey took quite a while before she had finally begun to speak.

“Zeke, it’s not that I don’t trust you. Rather, I simply don’t see how this is viable, especially when you aren’t planning on utilizing the Linton Group’s funds nor our resources... Let’s be real here. How do would we secure this project, when even the Linton Group has insufficient resources in the Riverdale District?” admitted Lacey as she revealed a wry smile.

“The only way that I see this possible, is for Nancy’s hero to secure this project, appointing both you and Nancy to collaborate on it.”

This rendered Zeke speechless.

The world was always advancing, and so was a human’s knack for cunning.

It had never occurred to him that a Great Marshal such as himself would eventually meet his nemesis.

Unfortunately, that day had now arrived. His nemesis so happened to be Nancy Hinton.

“I’d prefer for you have a sense of integrity, rather than for you to accomplish such an amazing feat,” huffed Nancy.

“Not only have you taken the glory that wasn’t yours, rather, but you’d also said that you were the one who’d conquered Whiteridge. You’ve also named yourself to be the boss of the underworld.”

“I’ve got to warn you. Should you persist with such distasteful actions, I’ll have Lacey divorce you.”

“I can only hope that you’d have at least a tenth of my hero’s virtue.”

There was nothing that Zeke could retort with, so he got into the car angrily, attempting to ignore her.

Lacey followed suit and questioned Zeke mockingly, “Are you mad?”

“Alright! Alright! Just get over it. It’s Nancy’s fault for not taking into account your feelings. She’s always been such a straightforward girl.”

“Even if it were the truth, that you were living off from me, what can they do about it? I have the capability to do that. You’ll just have to remain by my side,” quipped Lacey.

Zeke could feel his head begin to ache.

He was not mad about that.

I am simply worried. What if Nancy discovers that I was her hero? Would she start to cling onto me?

At Grand Imperial Tea House.

In the past, Hades would be praying at this hour.

However, he was so restless recently, that he could not sit still for even a minute.

The reason behind his restlessness was due to him being upset that the underworld forces of Riverdale District were taken by someone.

Besides, he was also anxious at the fact that he had yet to conquer Love in a Fallen City yet. If he were to delay the welcoming ceremony for the almighty general and was blamed for it by his lord, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

However, he did not have the intention to deal with Zeke Williams just yet.

At least not until the investigation of the ‘mysterious disappearance of five hundred henchmen in the underworld’ had been done.

His instincts were telling him that it would not be easy to reveal Zeke Williams as the culprit.

After three days of disappearance, the man that Hades had long anticipated for had finally returned.

“Have a seat, my friend,” urged Hades as he poured some tea for Eclipse.

Eclipse sat right before Hades and took a sip of the tea. “We have completed the investigation.”
