Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1372

Just as he stepped into the house, he noticed tears at the corners of Lacey’s eyes.

Zeke frowned and thought to himself, Did someone bully Lacey?

He didn’t wake Lacey as he could tell that she was tired and wanted her to have a good rest.

But not too long after, Lacey woke up.

The moment she saw Zeke, she couldn’t contain her indignancy, and it all showed in her eyes.

“Zeke, you’re back.” Lacey greeted Zeke as she choked back tears.

Zeke quickly asked, “What happened, Lacey?”

“You sound unhappy.”

Lacey sighed and told Zeke the whole story of how she had been mistreated when she was in Thisleton Manor.

He frowned after listening to her story.

This was not good!

Even if Zeke put aside Ares’ sudden change in attitude towards Lacey, the fact that Ares became a King Class warrior out of the blue was just unrealistic.

Previously, Zeke and Ares had joined forces to battle against their enemy.

Ares had been badly injured and almost lost his life.

It was a miracle that he could keep himself alive back then.

It’s impossible for him to be a King Class warrior!

Zeke instantly called the headquarters of Cygnus Room to get a better understanding of the incident.

The reply he got was exactly what he expected.

It was already a miracle that Ares could regain 80-90% of his capability.

Hence, it was impossible that he was a King Class warrior.

Zeke was puzzled.

He wondered if Ares had a fortuitous encounter that made a King Class warrior.

It hadn’t crossed his mind that someone was impersonating Ares.

The truth was, a King Class warrior was impersonating a warrior of a lower class.

At this moment, Lacey’s phone rang.

It was Dawn who called.

Lacey quickly picked up the call.

Dawn asked, “Where are you, Lacey? You need to come to the company at once.”

“The scum from the Thisleton family demanded us to hand over our authority. It seems like he wants to take over Linton Group!

“Oh no,” Lacey whispered.

The scum from the Thisleton family was undoubtedly Julian.

She never thought he would act so fast and go to the company so soon.

Together with Zeke, Lacey raced to Linton Group.

The highest floor of the Linton Group company building was the office for the company’s higher management.

At this moment, Julian led a group of people and occupied the highest floor.

The managements were all cornered and shaking in fear.

Dawn was still stubbornly arguing with Julian, “Linton Group is the fruit of our blood, sweat, and tears. Who are you to say that you’re taking over?”

“Even if we were to surrender our authority, we’ll surrender it to my sister and Zeke, and not to you.”

Julian sneered, “Who am I to take over? This is an order from the King Class warrior. What do you have to say?”

“Take this girl away and hand her over to Sir to be dealt with.”

“Anyone who doesn’t obey the orders will be seen as committing treason and will be punished accordingly.”

“Stop!” Lacey shouted angrily and ran towards Dawn to protect her just as Julian’s men were about to take her down. Lacey said, “Julian, you do not have the right to touch my people.”

Julian scoffed, “Your people? They’re mine now.”

“Lacey, do you intend to disobey the leader’s order?”

Lacey argued, “Linton Group is not a property of the Thisleton family, and it has no connection to the Thisleton family.”

“The leader of the Thisleton family has no rights to deal with Linton Group.”

“Please leave now.”

Julian lashed out, “Shut up.”

“Sir is a King Class warrior, and his orders are equivalent to the King’s order. Putting aside the Linton Group, even if Sir were to demand your life, you would have no choice but to surrender yourself to him.”

Zeke, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly sighed and said, “Julian, do you know what my greatest regret is?”
