Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1779

Delighted, Missy started dancing with the crowd.

Zeke, on the other hand, was keeping an eye on their surroundings.

There's a high possibility that the people from Netherworld would come to purloin the Fortuna here.

If that happens, all hell would break loose.

Eventually, Zeke saw Sole Wolf, Tyler, and the others standing in the crowd.

They were here under Zeke's orders.

They were wearing normal clothing, which allowed them to blend into the crowd.

Although they were covered with clothing from head to toe, Zeke was still able to recognize them based on their physique.

Tyler was pretending to be an old man who sold candied apples.

His face turned ashen when he noticed that Zeke was staring at him. How the f*ck did he recognize me? My face is all covered up.

Tyler took a candied apple and gave it to Missy.

“This little girl is so adorable. Here, you can have a candied apple on the house.”

Even though Missy wanted the candied apple, she abstained from taking it.

“Thank you, but Mommy told me that I can't just take other people's things without giving anything in return.”

Missy didn't know the person in front of her was Tyler.

“I'm not giving you the candied apple for free. I want something in return,” Tyler replied.

“What do I need to give you in exchange for the candied apple?”

“Just let me pinch your face.”

Missy pondered for a while before responding, “Okay, I'll let you pinch my face. But be gentle, okay?”

Amused, Tyler burst out laughing.

Lacey didn't recognize Tyler and was unwilling to let him pinch her daughter's face. Hence, she handed some money over to Tyler and asked him to leave.

After Tyler left, an old woman in ragged clothing approached Lacey.

The old woman looked like she was about eighty years old.

“What a cute little girl we have here. Would you like a balloon? I'll even give you a fifty percent discount.” The old woman's voice sounded hoarse.

Missy gazed at the old woman with her eyes widened. “Do I know you? You look very familiar...”

The old woman cleared her throat and let out a chuckle. “Hmm, I feel like I've met you before as well. Fate must've brought us together.”

She paused for a while before adding on, “I haven't eaten in three days. Could you buy a balloon so that I can afford food?”

Missy's eyes suddenly lit up. “Grandpa, it's you, right? Why are you dressed like an old woman?”

The old woman was bewildered.

How did she recognize me and not Tyler?

The person pretending to be an old woman was indeed Missy's grandfather, Ares.

“I think you've mistaken me for someone else, little girl. As you can see, I'm an old woman. How could I be your grandfather?” replied Ares.

Zeke's lips curled into a faint smile.

Missy possesses strong sensing capabilities and is especially sensitive to people who share her bloodline.

Hence, it isn't weird that she'd be able to recognize Ares.

Lacey scolded Missy, “Stop spouting nonsense, Lacey. Hurry up and apologize to the old woman.”

Miffed, Missy pouted. “But he's my grandfather. Mommy, do you not recognize him?”

Lacey hurriedly apologized to Ares, “Forgive my daughter's impudence. Missy, don't make me repeat myself. Apologize to the old woman.”

Missy reluctantly apologized to the old woman.

Ares felt bad for her and decided to give her a balloon. “It's okay, little girl. Here, have a balloon.”
