Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1220

“Cut off the power!” Daryl Chadley screamed his order, “Hurry and cut their power! Do I need to teach you people everything?”

“It’s no use. They’ve already backed up all the data to the cloud.”

Crap!

Daryl’s vision blurred, and he almost passed out on the spot.

We’re completely out of moves! We’re completely at the mercy of the hackers!

Such a blow was almost too much to handle.

He ground his teeth together with terrifying force. “Is this your doing, Williams?”

“Stop the car now! Otherwise, I’ll take this to the proper authorities, and you’ll be finished!”

Zeke Williams casually rebuffed him, “Given that you don’t have any evidence, you better keep your mouth shut. Moreover, I guarantee you won’t find a shred of evidence no matter how hard you try. So I suggest that you best be getting on dumping all your private shares and cut your losses while you still can. It’s either that or watch as your life crumbles to shambles.”

Damn it!

How could I have neglected this?

Daryl scrambled to pull out his phone and dump all the shares he had purchased privately.

When he was done, he dialed the police without hesitation.

“I’m calling the police now, Williams. Your arrogance is about to come to an end.”

“You’re suspected of committing corporate crimes amounting upwards of 100 billion. Jail time would be the least of your punishment! I’ll make you regret ever crossing me.”

Zeke was nonplussed as he murmured, “We shall wait and see.”

He looked towards Lacey. “Lacey, since we’re renewing our marriage today, I’ve prepared a big present for you.”

“What big present?” Lacey asked, puzzled.

Zeke smirked mysteriously and replied, “You’ll find out later.”

“You haven’t changed at all, still always pulling some secret stunt!” Lacey huffed in exasperation.

The crowd once again buzzed with whisperings.

“How strange. Everyone is in a mad rush to get rid of their shares, so why is this ‘King of Darkness’ still gobbling them up?”

“Where is King of Darkness from? Is he brain-damaged somehow?”

“I don’t know. But who cares about him? As long as we keep ourselves out of it.”

About ten minutes later, the police were still nowhere to be seen. Instead, a group of soldiers arrived on the scene.

Judging from their uniforms, they held relatively high rankings.

The head of the group turned out to the General Cosmopolis, Wolf’s Greed.

Right then, Daryl’s heart pounded in his chest.

Due to the immense amount of funds involved in the business crimes, the police were out of depth. Hence, the military was sent in instead.

Daryl rushed to greet Wolf’s Greed, “Hello Colonel, can I ask if your visit is in relation to the matter of Linton Group?”

Wolf’s Greed nodded.

Daryl was overcome with emotion. “Colonel, it was all the doing of this scumbag. Take him away quickly.”

He pointed accusingly at Zeke Williams.

AT that moment, Wolf’s Greed jogged over to Zeke, and Daryl erupted into laughter.

His laughter encapsulated every ounce of joy he could muster.

That’s what you get for messing with me! Your life is over!

Wolf’s Greed ran up to Zeke Williams and chucked, “Who would’ve guessed that we’d meet this soon again.”

Zeke snapped, “Wipe that smile off your face. You’re here on official business, so act like it. Be more serious.”

Yes, Sir!

Wolf’s Greed saluted him before turning to address the crowd. “Whoever is currently in charge of Linton Group better step out now!”

Daryl felt as though someone had slapped him across the face. His head was ringing as he stood there in stunned silence, his eyes close to bulging out of their sockets.

What the hell is going on?

Why did the colonel address Zeke Williams so casually?

Aside from that, Zeke Williams even dared to scold the man!

This means he has to be a general at the very least!

Crap, how was I supposed to know Lacey Hinton’s husband was such a bigshot?

Why didn’t she just mention her husband was a general?

Wolf’s Greed continued, “I’m not going to repeat myself!”

Instantly, fear drained the strength from Daryl’s legs, and he fell to his knees.
