Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1859

He felt safer after he reached his hand into his pocket and touched his pistol.

Edmund walked toward the door to the office and kicked it open.

The room was a complete mess. Not only were Robert and Jason beaten up badly, but they were also kneeling on the floor.

Adrian couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the state Robert was in. After all, he was one of the richest men alive.

There were three people standing beside them - a man and two women.

Adrian had no clue those were the three people Edmund was supposed to have killed. They were Zeke, Nancy, and Dawn.

Adrian looked at Robert and asked, “Robert, these three are the culprits?”

Robert stared back at Adrian furiously. “Adrian, what the hell happened? Why is your subordinate so useless?”

Those words stunned Adrian. “What do you mean, Robert? What does this have to do with me?”

“If not you, then who? These are the three people I asked Edmund to get rid of! He told me he'd already killed them, so how did these three people still show up at my doorstep?” Robert demanded.

“Huh?” Adrian took a glance at Zeke and the others before glaring at Edmund and roaring, “Edmund, what the hell is going on?”

Edmund lowered his head in faux guilt and shame. “Maybe they pretended to be dead, and I fell for it.”

“Screw you!” Robert thundered. “That's all you have to say for yourself? This is all your fault! You must take responsibility for what happened to me!”

Adrian then chimed in, “Enough! Now is not the time for bickering. We ought to get rid of our enemies first.”

He quickly shifted his gaze toward Zeke. “Not only did you manage to fool Edmund, but you're also regarded as S-ranked in Robert's list of dangerous people. Without a doubt, you're capable. But still, in my eyes, you're not worthy. Thus, I'm giving you a chance to get out of here alive. I want you to kneel before me and beg for forgiveness. Then, I want you to break your own arms and legs. If you don't comply, I promise I'll make you suffer and wish you were dead.”

In response, Zeke smirked and said, “Sure! I'd like to see how you'd do that.”

“You just don't know when to give up, do you?” Adrian roared and took out his pistol before pointing it at Zeke.

Nancy and Dawn suddenly tensed up.

They knew how capable Zeke was, but they were wondering how he would fare against a bullet.

Unlike them, Zeke remained calm and unbothered. A bullet? I won't even flinch if you launched an atomic bomb at me.

Adrian aimed at Zeke's head before gradually shifting his aim toward Zeke's kneecap.

“Hmm, I'm getting on in the years, so I wonder if I'm still able to hit the kneecaps. Young man, I'm giving you a choice now. You can either kneel right this instance, or I'll make you by shooting your legs. However, please be reminded that I might miss and accidentally put a bullet into your heart instead,” Adrian taunted.

Zeke's gaze fell upon Edmund. “Hey Edmund, which option do you think I should take?”

Zeke's words left both Adrian and Robert stunned. They were wondering why Zeke was asking for Edmund's opinion during such a dire situation.

At that moment, Adrian realized something fishy was going on. He glared at Edmund and asked, “Edmund, you better tell me what's going on here!”

“Mr. Conrad, there's something you should know,” Edmund answered with a low voice.

“Spill it!” Adrian ordered.

With a slight jerk of Edmund's arm, a blade slipped from under his sleeve and into his hand. He gripped the handle tightly, and with a slash of his blade, he instantly severed the hand Adrian was holding his pistol with from the wrist.

Blood spurted out to a distance of a few meters.

Zeke swiftly released his energy to prevent the blood from splashing on Nancy and Dawn.
