Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1014

Zeke chided, “I will spare your life, but you must pay for what you did. As a doctor, you were supposed to save lives, but you chose to lie and instill fear in your patient. Your tongue is a deadly weapon, and something must be done with it.”

Then Zeke turned to Bloodthirsty Wolf and commanded, “Cut it off now.”

“Yes!”

A cry broke out, and the director’s tongue was severed. The dead doctor’s, too.

Taking a deep breath, Zeke uttered, “Follow me to Luna Manor now.”

An eye for an eye, John Connor must die!

Back at Luna Manor in Atheville.

Theodore asked John, “How’s everything with Lacey Hinton?”

“Everything is well taken care of,” replied John. “Not wanting to implicate Zeke Williams, she ran away to the backcountry waiting for her death to come.”

Theodore nodded his head and questioned again, “So, you’re absolutely sure that she’d die from the poison that you had planted in her?”

John smiled and responded, “Not to worry because nobody in the world has the antidote for the poison, not even myself.”

Theodore nodded his head again, looking pleased. “That’s good. Even if Zeke finds her, he can only watch her die.”

“It would definitely shatter him into pieces for the rest of his life,” John smirked. “How dare you hit me! This is a lesson you’ll never forget.”

Right then, a commotion broke out outside Luna Manor.

In just seconds, two guards who were stationed at the door flew across the room, knocking over a sandalwood table that broke into pieces.

Enraged, Theodore shouted, “Who is that? How dare you barge into Luna Manor?”

Zeke walked in slowly, with a terrifying, murderous look on his face.

Theodore spoke in a crisp voice, “Williams, you must be insane to walk in like this. For years, Luna Manor has been our military home, not a place for an inferior like you to cause trouble at.”

Zeke sneered, “Are you even worthy of being a military man? You are a disgrace to the military regime for all your evil doings!”

“Nonsense. Evil doings? What proof do you have? Don’t talk without any proof or you’d be sued for defaming a retired general!”

Zeke took a quick look at John and said, “Well, if I’m not wrong, this wretch planted the worms in Lacey. He also instructed the doctors to make a misdiagnosis of Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma.”

John was infuriated, especially when the Zeke regarded him as ‘the wretch’!

Hmph! This pompous brat is about to die!

Theodore refuted, “I have no idea what you’re saying.”

Zeke scorned, “You are as stubborn as a mule.” Then, he took out a wooden box and chucked it at Theodore.

Baffled, the latter opened the wooden box and saw two bloody tongues. His hands started shaking.

How barbaric of him to cut off the doctors’ tongues just because they had misdiagnosed Lacey?

Theodore knew he couldn’t deny it anymore, so he decided to let the cat out of the bag.

“So what, if I was involved? Other than watching her die, what else can you do?”

“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but your plan has backfired. Lacey is as alive as ever. I’m here today to watch somebody else die.”

“Come and kill this wretch now!” Zeke roared.

Outraged by the insult, John could no longer suppress his anger. He fumed, “Stop lying. The worm that I planted in your wife was the most poisonous worm in the world. Nobody in the world has the antidote, not even myself!”

Feeling disdainful, Zeke smirked, “The most poisonous worm? Lacey’s body could break down the worms on its own. Are you sure that was the most poisonous worm? What a joke!”

He continued, “Don’t you feel embarrassed calling yourself the master of poisonous worms?”

“You jerk!” John thundered. “How dare you insult my skills!”
