Lord Protector Novel

Even though they were pretty sure the previous president did some dirty deeds and wasn't really a good person, he was still Frank's teacher. So, Frank still viewed him with respect.

A sigh left Zeke's mouth before he helped Frank get the former president down.

Frank speedily gave his teacher CPR.

While he was doing that, Zeke examined the dead man's physiological characteristics. It seems like he has already been dead for at least an hour. Even gods can't save him now. D*mmit, another dead end.

Dissatisfied, he examined the corpse, hoping to find some clues.

Then he noticed something odd on the corpse's hand.

Despite the fact that the old man had been dead for quite a while already, his right hand was still holding onto something tightly.

Maybe he's holding something important? That idea reignited hope in Zeke's heart.

Hastily, he peeled the previous president's hand open and saw a note inside.

When he opened the note, he saw three words written on it: I am free.

Is the previous president saying his death meant he could be free? Free from what? Could it be that he was suffering while he was working for the mysterious big hand with Yannick and Yoshua? Maybe they had no choice but to work for that mysterious giant palm? It's very likely. Just as Zeke was lamenting the fact that he was too late, his phone rang.

Sole Wolf was calling him.

After Zeke answered the phone, Sole Wolf informed, “Bad news, Zeke. Gregory's daughter, the one you asked me to look after, is dead.”

What? That shocked Zeke. Then he spoke in a reprimanding tone. “Didn't I ask you to watch over her? How could you let her die?”

In a remorseful tone, Sole Wolf informed, “I admit, I should've been more careful. My negligence led to the failure of my mission. I'm willing to accept my punishment...”

“Wait for me. I'll head there right away.”

After ending the call, Zeke turned to Frank. “Mr. Martell, I need to leave now because of an emergency. I promise I'll send someone to investigate what happened to the former president. Don't worry—while I'll never let a criminal go unpunished, I won't wrong a good man either.”

With a nod, Frank requested, “I have one request that I hope you'll be willing to fulfill, Great Marshal.”

“Speak.”

“Regardless of whether my teacher is a criminal or not, I want to bury his corpse myself. I can't just ignore our relationship as a teacher and student.”

“I promise you. Additionally, Mr. Valentine, you better cooperate with the Special Unit's investigation. If you do, we'll sentence you according to the crime you've committed. If you refuse or try to run away, I can promise you that you'll be losing your life.”

Immediately, Adonis kneeled in front of Zeke. “Don't worry, Great Marshal. I'll definitely cooperate with the investigation and turn over a new leaf.”

When he raised his head again, he saw Zeke was already gone.

A long sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he slumped to the ground.
