Lord Protector Novel

Zeke grabbed the transferal agreement and tore it into pieces right where he was.

After that, Dawn gave Zeke a thumbs up and said, “Good job, Zeke!”

A smile appeared on Nancy’s face. “You’re amazing.”

The guests went into an uproar.

How dare Zeke be so proud and presumptuous when he’s reduced to an ordinary man now?

Is he not afraid of being targeted?

Zeke is no match for his rival, even when he is in his prime.

After all, he is facing off a King Class expert and a Great Marshal with unparalleled power.

Sure enough, Emily was enraged at his action. “Zeke, what are you trying to do? How dare you mess up my grand ceremony!

Zeke sneered at Emily, “Some people just never learn their lessons. Let me teach you another lesson today.”

Emily replied, “Hmph! There’s no place for monkey business here. You’d better apologize to me right now and come up with another transferal agreement; otherwise, you’ll certainly regret it.”

Lacey seemed to have thought of something. She swiftly tugged at Zeke’s arms and whispered to him, “Forget it, Zeke. She’ll sue you for treason if we don’t agree with her.”

Zeke patted Lacey’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Lacey. I’ll take care of this.”

Lacey was stunned when she met Zeke’s confident gaze.

Zeke made her feel that he was still the Great Marshal and that he had yet to pass his peak.

For a fleeting moment, she could not decide whether she should trust him.

Zeke’s gaze turned icy as he turned to glance at Emily. “You’re so vicious, and you have no regard for human life.”

Emily promptly denied, “What nonsense are you talking about? Lacey gave it to me willingly as a token of appreciation.”

Zeke scoffed, “A token of appreciation? You’ve forced Lacey into a dead-end. Why should she thank you for this? This is ridiculous!”

Emily shouted at him, “You should cut the nonsense instead! Everybody witnessed how I helped Lacy. She owed her business partner liquidated damages of two billion, but she could not afford it and was at risk of imprisonment. I was the one who paid the liquidated damages, so she didn’t have to go to jail. It’s only fair that she repays my kindness.”

Zeke laughed at her. “Haha. Do you think everyone here is that dumb? You’ve obviously plotted this together with her business partner to set her up. Linton Group has yet to go into bankruptcy, so we can still collaborate with her business partner. Given that scenario, why should we pay liquidated damages? It’s her business partner who first refused to collaborate with Linton Group. Hence, he’s the one who should pay us the liquidated damages.
