Lord Protector Novel

Slap!

Without hesitation, Zeke slapped John in the face, in front of others. He told him, “Sure! I’ll grant you your wish since that’s what you’ve wanted all along.”

“How dare you slap me in the face? D*** it! Who gave you the audacity to resort to such a reckless action when you’re merely a step away from hell!” John held on to his swollen face and looked at Zeke in disbelief.

Instantly, he turned around and reached out to the commander of the regiment. “Mr. Blackwood, I’m sure you have witnessed the brutality of this man, right? He has the audacity to beat an ordinary citizen in front of you. It seems like he isn’t taking you and the soldiers seriously. You have to avenge, me, Sir.”

In return, Mr. Blackwood looked at Nathan with a vicious smile on his face and warned him, “Well... Indeed, you’re quite an arrogant brat. In fact, you are far more arrogant than I’d thought. However, allow me to advise you. You should be aware of who you’re picking on because you have no idea of who’s in front of you.”

Once he finished his sentence, he turned around and ordered the soldiers, “Surround him and take him into custody immediately!”

The soldiers rushed over immediately and rendered Zeke incapable of motion as they suppressed him.

Nonetheless, Zeke appeared calm and collected as he asked, “Does that mean you’re trying to defend him?”

Mr. Blackwood scoffed, “That’s right! After all, John is a close acquaintance of mine. Did you think I would leave him alone? You must be kidding, right?”

Unexpectedly, Zeke reprimanded them, “Do I look like I’m kidding? The government officials and the citizens of the country have spent countless resources to nurture your talents because you have been tasked with the role of defending the country. In short, all of you are civil servants who are serving the people. However, you have decided to be the servants of the wealthy ones, accepting requests from them. Are you sure that you deserve the government officials’ and the citizens’ trust? All of you bring nothing but disgrace to the military!”

Finally, the onlookers managed to grasp the situation once they heard Zeke’s speech.

They were infuriated as well. Consequently, Mr. Blackwood and John became the target of the onlooker’s witch-hunt session.

“What? Does that mean that they’ve neglected the role of defending the nation that they have been mandated? Have they turned into the wealthy ones’ servants instead?”

“If that’s the case, they don’t deserve to proclaim themselves as part of the military at all!”

“We have to get rid of the black sheep once and for all!”

“Let’s take note of their identity numbers and report them collectively!”

As time flew by, an increasing amount of onlookers rushed over and surrounded the scene. Many of them had taken photos of Mr. Blackwood and John using their phones.

Meanwhile, John and Mr. Blackwood’s faces turned pale all of a sudden. They had not expected Zeke to leverage the emotions of the onlookers.

It was obvious that Zeke was going up against them through the power of the citizens.

John whispered and requested, “Mr. Blackwood, please take Zeke into custody immediately. We have to get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, things may spin out of control once the onlookers have gathered around.”

However, Mr. Blackwood grew cautious and rebuked him, “No! There are a lot of reporters hiding amongst the onlookers. I’m sure that they have taken plenty of photos by now. If we take Zeke into custody, we’ll be doomed, once the news has made it to the headlines!”

“Huh? Does that mean that I’d been slapped in the face for nothing?” John was upset.

“Nope! You haven’t been slapped in the face for nothing! Although we can’t get to him this round, I’m sure we’ll eventually get him once he runs out of luck. It’s impossible for him to constantly run into the reporters!” Mr. Blackwood gritted his teeth and assured John.



Zeke heaved a sigh and told them, “If you’re not going to take me out this time, I’m afraid you won’t get to lay a finger on me in the future because you’re about to lose your title, Mr. Blackwood.”

“Zeke, you’re the one behind the reporters’ presence, right? I’m sure that’s the case! It seems like you’re trying to make use of the public to come after us, huh? Do you really think that you can win the public over? I won’t allow such a thing to happen! Ha! You know what? I can easily get them fired through a call!” John replied scornfully.

“Really? If that’s the case, I can’t wait to see what else you’re capable of,” Zeke replied sarcastically.

“Hmph! It seems like you have no idea what’s in store for you! I’ll see you soon, Zeke!” John rolled his eyes and glared at Zeke as he finished his sentence.

Eventually, John and Mr. Blackwood left, along with the regiment they had brought along with them.

Upon their departure, Zeke reached for his phone and called the General Cosmopolis, Wolf’s Greed, immediately. He instructed him, “Wolf’s Greed, in the name of the Great Marshal, I want you to expel Mr. Blackwood along with his party immediately because they have offended me. They are a disgrace to the military. We have to get rid of every single black sheep in the military!”
