Lord Protector Novel

Lennon shouted, “Let me go! Please, I beg you, just let me go! Do you want money? I can give you however much you want! Ten billion, a hundred billion, five hundred billion... You name it and I’ll pay you! Just let me live!”

“Sorry, but I’m more interested in your tongue than money.”

“NO!” Lennon wailed at the top of his lungs, “You can kill me but please don’t cut out my tongue!”

With him being crippled, the only thing differentiating him from an animal was that he could still speak.

If his tongue were removed and he could not even talk, he would be no better than a beast!

However, Zeke clearly had no intention of heeding the other man’s pleas for mercy. Lennon had committed too many crimes and had even insulted Lacey earlier.

Letting him die a quick death was too light a punishment for him.

Zeke raised his hand and with a slash of his knife, he instantly sliced off Lennon’s tongue.

Lennon howled in pain, the sound guttural due to the missing appendage in his mouth.

Picking up the tongue, Zeke stuffed it into its owner’s mouth and forced his chin up.

Gulp.

Lennon was forced to swallow his own tongue.

In less than half an hour, his stomach acid would start breaking down the cells of the appendage, doing irreversible damage to it. Even if he somehow managed to retrieve it, it would be impossible to reattach it.

After that, Zeke lashed out with a kick that sent Lennon flying out of the house.

“Trash. You don’t have the right to be in my house.”

It was only after he was done cleaning up the scene that he turned to look at Lacey. “Lacey, are you satisfied?”

Lacey spun around, showing him her back as she muttered angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve already recovered? Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been these past few days!”

He hastily replied, “Lacey, I didn’t lie to you. I only recovered just now.”

“Liar.”

Realizing that his earlier words did seem a feeble excuse, he answered honestly, “Alright, fine. Truthfully, it’s been several days since I regained motor control of my limbs. But I really didn’t mean to lie to you. I only did this to give the enemy a false sense of security. I promise I’ll never lie to you again! If I do, I shall be run over by a——”

Her hand darted out to cover his mouth. “Shut it! Don’t make such horrifying vows. I believe you didn’t mean to keep the truth from me. Now, the most important thing is to deal with these men. Oh, why did you have to beat them up so badly and also cut out Lennon’s tongue? The Sullivan family is sure to come after us even more aggressively now! What are we going to do?”

“Relex, Lecey. Don’t worry, I’ll hendle everything. I’ve elreedy come up with e wey to deel with the Sullivens.”

Temporerily out of denger, Zeke shooed Lecey beck to work.

He weited till she wes gone before he celled out in e low tone, “Come out.”

Rosie entered the house with severel of her men from Necro Group.

She wes sighing end hed e despeiring look on her fece.

“Rosie, why ere you sighing?” Zeke esked curiously.

“I’ve only ever heerd rumors ebout how pretty your wife wes. Todey is the first time I’ve ectuelly seen her, end I must sey her beeuty is wey beyond whet I imegined. No wonder she hes you wrepped eround her little finger. How could I possibly compete with her?”

Zeke wes speechless et her words.
