Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 407

Ken sighed. “Mr. Williams, we have overstretched ourselves with too many underground businesses here at Rivervale, so we are rather tight on cash. Also, Mr. Collins has closed quite a few of his illegal businesses, such as the casino and the tobacco clubs, hence the lack of cash. Right now, we owe a lot of money to the creditors, so three hundred thousand is nearly impossible for us to collect now.”

Zeke took a deep breath and said, “This is my fault. I did not consider my brothers.”

Ken immediately protested, “No, no, no, Mr. Williams, you should not be feeling guilty at all. All that you have done has been more than enough. We know that this situation is just temporary. When we can take over the underworld of Riverdale, all of us will be insanely successful...”

Zeke said, “Let’s do this, go to Linton Group and get five hundred thousand for your mom’s medical bills. I will think of another way to help my brothers settle the situation.”

Ken and his men were taken aback.

For someone of Mr. Williams’ stature to care so much for them.... who were they to deserve this?

Ken was almost moved to tears. “Mr. Williams, no... no. There is no need. You have already done enough for us...”

Zeke said, “I’m only lending you the five hundred thousand. When you have the money, you can return it to me. Let’s settle it like this.”

With that, Zeke turned and left.

Ken and his gang fell silent.

It took a while before Ken looked up and admonished his men. “Mr. Williams is the most honorable of them all! From now on, if anyone were to wrong Mr. Williams, I will be the first to murder him with my bare hands!”

His men all echoed. “We will follow Mr. Williams for life!”

While Zeke and Sharon were on their way home, he got a phone call from Evan Schneider.

Evan informed, “Mr. Williams, I have already sent someone to be in touch with the head company of Wisdom Isle Kindergarten, and we have communicated our initial interest in acquiring it. If I am not wrong, we should be able to get it for about a hundred million.”

Now that this branded kindergarten had been shut indefinitely, their value had dropped greatly as they were as good as closed down.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to acquire it for one hundred million!

Zeke nodded. “Mmhm, send the acquisition contract to Linton Group.”

Evan replied, “No problem. The moment the acquisition is confirmed, I will send the contract over to you immediately.”

Evan’s Scheider Group belonged to Zeke as well.

To present this chain brand to Linton Group was merely passing it from one’s right hand to one’s left hand.

The moment he hung up; Zeke found himself deep in thought.

“Now that I have brought such a big project to the Linton Group, Lacey should raise my salary. With just another few thousand, I will be considered a white-collared staff.”

....

At the same time, Humpty took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.
