Lord Protector Novel

He had almost forgotten the name ‘Frederick’.

But Frederick’s friend had returned recently, and his methods were shockingly cruel. He had buried Xander alive and had actually thrown Joseph Zelly off a building.

Thus, Patrick had been thinking about Frederick recently.

Now that this strange man before him mentioned Frederick...

An ominous feeling crept upon him, and he asked, “Who are you?”

Zeke put on his white gloves slowly and replied, “Stupid fool. Haven’t you guessed my identity by now?”

Patrick replied solemnly, “ You’re Zeke Williams, Frederick’s buddy. Are you the culprit behind the two recent murders in Atheville?”

Zeke nodded.

Patrick took a deep breath before replying, “I knew you would look for me eventually, but I didn’t know you would come so soon. Fine. I shall send you to your death earlier than what I have planned initially.”

With that, Patrick whipped out his gun from behind him. he was about to shoot Zeke when Wolf’s Greed leapt into action before Patrick pulled the trigger.

With a slight move of Wolf’s Greed’s hand, a dagger slipped from under his sleeve into his hand.

Grabbing the dagger, he threw it at Patrick’s wrist in a move as fast as lightning.

“Ah!”

Patrick yelled a painful cry. The dagger pierced through his wrist and stuck on the wall, effectively pinning Patrick against it. The gun in Patrick’s hand had long dropped onto the ground.

The wall was stained red with his blood.

“Murder! Someone is committing murder now!”

Everyone who caught sight of this terrifying scene screamed in shock and scrambled out of the way.

Indeed, in this time and age, an ordinary person would never be exposed to such a bloody scene in their entire lifetime. It was no wonder everyone had run off in terror.

Zeke rolled his eyes at Wolf’s Greed. “Could you have been any slower? You must have been slacking off from your usual martial arts practice.”

Guilt flashed across Wolf’s Greed’s face as he apologized, “Zeke, I’m sorry. I did not expect this fellow to carry a gun on him.”

Anyone who overheard their conversation would be utterly astonished. Any ordinary person would not react in time before Patrick almost pulled the trigger just now. Wolf’s Greed was already fast as lightning, yet Zeke had scolded him for being too slow. That was crazy!

Zeke stated, “Someone told me that my buddy, Frederick, was severely injured by you after his return to Atheville. Tell me, how did you hurt him? I will hurt you in the same way!

Patrick was not terrified upon hearing Zeke’s words. The man had actually smiled.

His smile was eerily scary, with the blood dripping down from the corners of his mouth to his chin.

“Fine. I have underestimated you. Not only will I let you know how I have hurt him, but I will also show you who has hurt him today.”
