Lord Protector Novel

She owed Zeke her life, and the last thing she wanted to do was drag him into this mess.

It wasn’t a big deal. She just needed to admit defeat to Mr. Quin.

Sigh. Why is it so difficult for a woman to make a living for herself?

On the 403 Highway that connected Rivermouth and Eastend.

Twelve was overseeing his men as they blocked the main road. Anyone related to Zeke Williams wasn’t allowed to enter.

From a distance, Twelve felt that the incoming car seemed a little familiar.

He was surprised and quickly ordered, “That’s Mia Young’s car. Stop her.”

His men immediately got to work, putting up roadblocks and even parking one of their cars sideways to make sure that she couldn’t break through the barrier.

Since Mia had already decided to surrender to Mr. Quin, she didn’t have any intention to resist.

She parked her car in front of the barrier and got down. “I’m Mia Young, the woman Mr. Quin has been looking for. Please take me to him.”

Twelve sneered in contempt. “You should’ve done this earlier instead of letting things become messier than necessary.”

He then gestured towards the car. “Get in. We’ll take you to Mr. Quin.”

Once Mia boarded the car, Twelve gave Thirteen a call. “Hey, are you still looking for Mia Young?”

“Damn it! I don’t think she’s in Eastend. I combed through the whole city but couldn’t find her,” Thirteen cursed.

Twelve chuckled. “You can stop looking for her. I’ve completed your task for you. She’s in my car now.”

Thirteen was shocked. “The f***! Where did that damned woman go? I had to look all around for her like an idiot. She’s gonna get it from me when I see her!”

Zeke had no clue about Mia’s act of self-surrender and was proceeding according to his plan.

He had asked Hadley to get him ten elite killers from the Necromancer Assassin Organization.

Zeke narrowed his eyes into slits at the ten killers standing before him and questioned, “I want you to capture the Thirteen Guardians alive. What’s the success rate?”

“I’m guessing it’ll be about fifty percent,” Hadley answered.

Zeke asked, “What about the success rate of assassinating all of them?”

“A hundred percent,” Hadley said without hesitation.

With that, Zeke gave his final order. “Then, just go ahead and kill them to avoid further complications.”

“Wait,” Hadley called out to Zeke.

“Is there anything else?” Zeke raised his brows.

“The leader of the Thirteen Guardians used to participate in illegal fighting. He won the underground boxing championship for seven consecutive years. He’s strong and ruthless, so I’m not entirely sure if we can kill him,” Hadley stated her concerns.

Zeke cracked his neck from side to side. “Since I have some time on my hands, I’ll get rid of the leader of the Thirteen Guardians for you. I’ll leave the rest of them to you guys. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Hadley nodded in response.

Zeke turned around to leave but was stopped by Hadley once again. “Wait.”

Zeke grew slightly impatient. “Spit it out, whatever it is.”

Hadley pursed her lips. “How much is the reward money? You haven’t mentioned anything about it. We’re not going to do charity work for you if that’s what you were hoping.”

Zeke pondered for a while before declaring, “Ten million for an ear. Come and collect your reward money from me after the job’s done.”

The assassins were more than tempted by it.
