Lord Protector Novel

Since the existence of Ares and the Thisleton family was a threat to both Zeke and Eurasia, Zeke decided that he would eliminate Ares if he could find him.

He asked the Demon, “You’re doing all this to protect Lacey?”

The Demon replied, “Of course.”

Zeke continued, “Then I shall spare your life. As for Ares, I will eliminate him myself, but I need your help.”

The Demon hurriedly replied, “I will do anything to help Ms. Hinton.”

Zeke ordered, “Keep an eye on the Thisletons. Why would they choose to show themselves now when they have stayed hidden for the past decade? They must be targeting Lacey. If any of the Thisletons show up, let me know immediately.”

“Yes, Sir!” The Demon promised and left.

Zeke took out a cigarette and lit it.

This situation is getting out of hand with Ares’ involvement. My identity as the Great Marshal may not remain hidden for long.

I should marry Lacey sooner. Even if she’s dissatisfied with my identity as the Great Marshal, she can’t do anything about it once we have held the wedding.

Meanwhile, at Williams Manor in Atheville, Lucille Williams had been keeping tabs on Zeke all this time.

After Francis Sullivan poisoned and crippled Zeke, she was able to kick him out of the family and replace him as the head of the household.

She thought that the Sullivans would have killed Zeke by now, but contrary to her expectations, he was still alive.

Unless the Sullivans find it unnecessary to kill a crippled man who hardly poses as a threat?

That must be it.

“Even if the Sullivans spared him, I can’t do the same. I will never forgive him for the shame he brought upon our family! I’m going to give him a taste of his own medicine!”

Right then, Joshua Williams, the grandson of Lucille Williams, barged into the room.

When Zach Williams was still alive, Lucille doted on him the most. Now that Zach was dead, Joshua became her favorite grandson.

“Grandma, breaking news! Breaking news!” Joshua was panting for breath.

She asked out of curiosity, “What breaking news are you talking about, Joshua? Is Zeke dead?”

Joshua shook his head. “No. It’s something even more shocking than that. You know about the Thisletons, right?”

Lucille nodded. “Of course. The head of the Thisletons is Ares.”

Joshua continued, “That’s right. Have you heard of the long-lost direct descendant of the Thisletons? The girl went missing twenty years ago and has yet to be found.”

Lucille eyed Joshua suspiciously. “I know. Why are you telling me all this, Joshua?”

Joshua piped up, “Grandma, there have been rumors that Zeke’s fiancée, Lacey Hinton, is the missing heiress of the Thisleton family!”
