Lord Protector Novel

“Argh!” Howling in pain, Adrian fell to his knees while holding his severed wrist.

Nancy and Dawn's faces blanched in horror as they had never seen such a gruesome scene before. Hence, Zeke told them to get out of the room immediately.

Adrian then gave Edmund a death glare. “Edmund, f**k you! What are you doing!”

“Mr. Conrad, I'm sorry. You're just not worthy to be my boss. He's my true boss!” Edmund knelt before Zeke unhesitatingly.

That was when Robert and Adrian both realized Edmund had betrayed them. They had been led on all along.

Adrian was coughing out blood in rage. He had never expected his most trusted subordinate to turn on him.

Zeke sat down and poured himself a glass of water. With a cold glare on his face, he taunted, “So, what did you say you were going to do to me again? Go on now. Do it. This is your chance.”

Adrian coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood and muttered, “You're impressive, Zeke, I'll give you that. You were able to win Edmund over. However, Edmund is not all that I've got.”

Despite the agonizing pain, he stood up and walked toward the window before glancing out. “Hey, Williams. Why don't you come and take a look outside?”

Zeke walked toward him and looked out the window.

There were about three thousand men who had the United Group building surrounded.

Adrian spat out the blood in his mouth and boasted, “With a wave of my hand, these three thousand men will swarm the United Group building. You'd be dead for sure.”

Zeke smiled. “Really? Give it a try, then.”

Adrian thought Zeke was bluffing. “Enough, Zeke. Drop the act. I know you must be trembling with fear inside. How about this? We'll make a deal. You can take me hostage, and I'll lead you out of this mess. At the same time, you must guarantee my survival. But if I die here, these men will storm the building, and you'll die with me.”

Zeke was amused by his words. “Haha! Fear? Do I look like I'm afraid of you?”

Edmund, too, sniggered to himself inwardly. Who are you kidding, Adrian? Do you think the Great Marshal would be scared of you? How shameless of you!

Adrian clenched his teeth in frustration. “Williams, you're leaving me no choice. If you wish to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!”

Zeke sneered, “I'm sorry, but you're in no position to threaten me.”

Backed into a corner, Adrian panicked and yelled, “Damn it! Fine! If that's the case, I'm bringing you down to hell with me! Boys, come in and kill him!”

“Yes, sir!” the three thousand men answered all at once.

Soon after that, the ground started shaking when the men stomped toward the building.

Zeke leisurely took out his phone and declared, “Now.”

“Yes, sir!” A voice was heard coming from the other end of the phone.
