Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1845

Zeke stopped Sole Wolf.

He already had a plan in mind to deal with a menial character like Edmund Pieck.

Edmund was aghast at the sight of the group of people rushing in.

He scanned the group of people and finally transfixed his gaze at Killer Wolf.

At the sight of the man, Edmund shuddered in fear and stuttered, “G-General Cosmopolis... Are you General Cosmopolis?”

The others were quite surprised to find that Edmund actually recognized General Cosmopolis.

Killer Wolf then eyed Edmund from head to toe and asked, “Who are you? How do you know me?”

Edmund was overwhelmed with fear the moment he confirmed that Killer Wolf was indeed General Cosmopolis. He wailed and kneeled before Killer Wolf.

“Please forgive me, General Cosmopolis. I've learned my mistake.”

Everyone cast puzzled looks at Killer Wolf. “Did you train this man?”

As a matter of fact, Killer Wolf was stumped as well. He could not figure out where he had seen Edmund before and asked, “How did you know me?”

Edmund then hurriedly added, “I've served you as an army chief three years ago, General Cosmopolis. Though I did not work under you directly, I had once witnessed your caliber at the military parade...”

Killer Wolf was enraged and unsheathed his sword. “You really were my soldier! What a disgrace. I'd be better off killing you so that you can no longer embarrass me!”

Edmund was scared beyond his wits and pleaded for mercy.

Zeke managed to stop Killer Wolf in time and said, “Spare the man. I still have use for him.”

Edmund broke down in tears as he regretted his actions immensely. “General Cosmopolis, I had no idea that you knew Zeke Williams. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have come after him in the first place.”

Killer Wolf sent the man flying with a kick and bellowed, “How dare you call the Great Marshal by his name? Do you have a death wish?”

Edmund was stumped. His jaws dropped as he could not believe his ears.

Zeke Williams is the Great Marshal? My ears must be playing tricks on me.

He felt chills down his spine and asked cautiously, “General Cosmopolis, d-did you s-say... Great Marshal?”

Killer Wolf announced, “He is the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams!”

Edmund felt his mind going blank with Killer Wolf's words as all colors drained from his face.

Zeke Williams is the Great Marshal! I'm a nobody, and yet I had the audacity to take his life. He can sentence me to death a thousand times and over just for this alone...

Edmund slumped to the floor upon the realization of his grave mistake. At that moment, he wished he was dead instead.

Edmund would rather die and face Hades than bring himself to confront Zeke.

Damn both of you, Adrian and Robert! Do you guys even know how much trouble you've gotten me in?”

“Great Marshal, I have committed an unforgivable sin!” Edmund expressed his penitence in despair.

“I am willing to die as atonement for my sins.”

Zeke snorted, “Death is much too easy a way out for you.”

Edmund could not even begin to contemplate the punishment that Zeke had in mind if he thought dying was an easy way out for the former.

The man was at a total loss.

“However, I will give you another chance to redeem yourself,” Zeke suddenly said. “I may consider letting you live if you accomplish the mission.”

Edmund's eyes glinted as he saw a glimmer of hope. “Really? Thank you for sparing me, Great Marshal. I will give in my all and not disappoint you.”

“Go back and report to your Boss that you have accomplished your mission. Everyone, including me, are all dead as a result of your poisoning,” Zeke ordered.

“And then?”

“That is all. Just wait for my instruction for your next course of action,” Zeke said.

Edmund nodded his head. “Yes, yes. I will do everything as you say, Great Marshal.”

Zeke shot him a glare, and Edmund did not dare to linger further as he scurried to leave.

“You guys have to arrange a secret funeral for me now,” Zeke said as he turned to Sole Wolf.
