Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1397

However, it was still a Grand Ceremony. It certainly was more than enough to cause a stir across the nation.

As far as Ares was concerned, that plan was good enough for him.

Amidst the eager anticipation of everyone, the Grand Ceremony commenced as scheduled.

Ares wasn’t as mysterious as a First King.

Although the First King had turned up at his Grand Ceremony, he had addressed the crowd with a mask on his face.

Ares, on the other hand, presented himself to the crowd without a mask.

After his speech, Ares turned to the guests in the audience and gave them a suggestive look. “I would like to thank all of you for attending my Grand Ceremony.”

“If there is anything you guys need my help for in the future, please feel free to ask.”

With that, the crowd broke into applause.

Of course, they knew that Ares was just being polite.

They certainly wouldn’t take his words seriously.

A King certainly wasn’t going to do them a favor just because they had turned up for his Grand Ceremony. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

But much to the audience’s astonishment, there was one girl who took what he had said very seriously.

Getting to her feet, she announced, “I would like you to help me out, Ares.”

This girl was none other than Emily.

Everyone in the audience was startled and began staring at her.

She looks rather normal. Why would she do something so unhinged?

Ares nodded his head. “Please, tell me what it is you wish for me to help you with.”

“I want to lodge a complaint against someone,” Emily replied, “I hope that you would be able to help me seek redress, Ares.”

“Who do you wish to lodge a complaint against?” asked Ares.

“The Great Marshal, Zeke Williams!”

“What!”

A commotion instantly broke out among the crowd.

Everybody knew that Zeke’s wife was Lacey, Ares’ biological daughter who had gone missing for many years.

In other words, Zeke was actually Ares’ son-in-law.

She’s attempting to lodge a complaint against his son-in-law on the day of his Grand Ceremony? Is she looking for trouble?

Waving his hands to signal for everyone to calm down, Ares said, “Everyone, please stay quiet.”

“Tell me, why do you want to make a complaint against Zeke?”

“The Great Marshal is a heartless playboy!” Emily accused, “He toys with the feelings of women and dumped his wife for a vixen.”

“He’s a brute who is no better than a pig!”

“Who is this vixen?” Ares asked.

“That would be his current wife,” replied Emily.

This immediately caused an uproar amongst the crowd.

Holy f***! The Great Marshal’s current wife? That’s Ares’ daughter, Lacey Hinton!

She actually has the gall to call Ares’ daughter a vixen...

She’s dead meat!

There’s no way Ares will spare her life.

As expected, Ares was furious.

“I would say that I have a rather good understanding of the Great Marshal. Naturally, I don’t believe that he has done such a thing.”

“If you can’t produce sufficient evidence, I will sue you for defamation.”

“Of course, I have the evidence.” Emily then fished out her phone and projected a picture of Zeke and her onto the big screen.

“Here’s a picture of me and Zeke Williams. I stood by him when he was at his poorest.”

“I spent five years of my youth on him.”

“Little did I know, he actually dumped in return.”

“This is a picture of Zeke proposing to Lacey Hinton in front of my family and me.”

“Not only did he hook up with my best friend, Lacey Hinton, behind closed doors but he also proposed to her in front of everybody at an extremely important event.”

“He humiliated me and crushed me emotionally so that I wouldn’t pester him anymore.”

“Boohoo! He may seem like a gentleman, but he does all kinds of cruel things behind closed doors.”

Emily’s wails echoed across the crowd.

Furthermore, it was being broadcast live across the whole of Eurasia.
