Lord Protector Novel

The only thing he had in his mind at that moment was the cursed maggots.

Jeffrey couldn’t believe something such as a cursed maggot actually existed in the world.

He was delighted because he finally found someone capable of saving his benefactor.

The worked-up Jeffrey sat upright and held Zeke’s hand as though he was afraid the latter would run away. “Sir, please save my benefactor! Please!”

As he got overly worked-up, he forgot the excruciating sensation he felt.

Once again, the onlookers were confused by Jeffrey’s words.

They couldn’t figure out the correlation between Zeke and Jeffrey’s benefactor.

He’s not even out of the woods and yet he’s thinking about his benefactor at such a critical juncture?

Zeke got confused as well. “Your benefactor is?”

Immediately, Jeffrey explained, “He’s a government official as well, but his identity has to be kept confidential. Ten years ago, he was dispatched to Queenstown to investigate a mysterious incident. However, since he made his way back from Queenstown, he had a high fever. We had visited all sorts of specialists back then, but none of them could do anything about it. Eventually, he turned into a vegetative patient.”

“I believe he has been cursed as well. That must have been why none of the doctors could treat him. Sir, you’re the only one who can save my benefactor. He’s the only one who knows the outcome of the investigation. We need him and the result of his investigation desperately because the outcome of his investigation may influence the wellbeing of Eurasia.”

Zeke seemed to have something in his mind when he heard Jeffrey’s words. In the end, he nodded and expressed his agreement.

The methods to place such a traditional curse were a double-edged sword. If those who were up to no good were to get their hands on it, it would endanger mankind’s wellbeing.

However, it would be a powerful tool to protect the nation should Zeke get his hands on the methods to place such a traditional curse.

Hence, Zeke was determined to get his hands on said methods.

He nodded and assured Jeffrey, “We’ll talk about this matter soon. For now, let’s deal with the cursed maggots within your system.”

However, Jeffrey stopped Zeke and requested, “Sir, please promise me! You have to save my benefactor. My safety seems relatively insignificant as compared to his! Even if anything happens to me, I can be easily replaced by others. However, my benefactor is the only one who knows the truth of the mysterious incident. You have to save him!”

As Zeke was moved by Jeffrey’s words, he replied with a bright smile, “Alright. I’m glad to hear that. It’s rare to come across loyal government officials like you. Don’t worry. I’ll drop by and check on your benefactor once I’m free. In the meantime, I have quite a few things on my plate.”

After all, Lacey’s matter would be Zeke’s utmost priority. They had to take over Reagan Pharmaceutical as soon as possible.

As of now, Zeke had to win those from the Reagan Pharmaceutical over to their side.

Jeffrey thought Zeke was talking about the termination of the hospital’s operation. He assured Zeke immediately, “Mr. Williams, don’t worry. I’ll dispatch a team immediately. I’ll get them to investigate Griffin General Hospital as soon as possible. If something is wrong with the hospital, I’ll definitely terminate the operation of the hospital.”

When Zeke heard Jeffrey’s words, he turned around and took a glance at the director of the hospital.

The director had an awful look on his face. He seemed as though he had aged over ten years in the span of a few hours.

In the end, he didn’t get to defend his hospital.

Zeke asked, “I believe a patient with the name of Laura is here, right? I’m here for her.”
