Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1973

Thomas, who walked out of his bedroom, roared when he saw the assassins still in his house, “Hey! What are you guys still doing here? You have already taken the deposit. Why aren't you carrying out the mission? Aren't you worried about ruining your reputation if you regret it now?”

Suddenly, the three assassins turned around stiffly, still rooted in their spot.

The expression on the three men's faces sent shivers down Thomas' spine.

Although their expression was frozen, their gazes were filled with murderous intent. At that moment, they looked like demons.

A wild idea came to Thomas' mind all of a sudden. Could they be demons instead of humans?

A foreboding feeling rose in his heart as he retreated his steps slowly. “What are you guys up to? Hurry up and carry out the mission now.”

“Die!” A word forced its way out of the assassins' mouths, and they charged toward Thomas.

I knew it!

Without hesitating, Thomas ran into the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and locked it from the inside.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The three assassins kicked the door with great force.

Even so, Thomas was not afraid, for this door was made with special reinforcements. It was even bulletproof.

Nevertheless, what happened next was something he never expected. After several kicks from the opponents, a loud crack could be heard, and an enormous hole was formed in the door.

In the next second, the three assassins slammed against the door, crushing it to pieces. Immediately, all of them barged in.

Thomos hod nowhere to run to. He shuddered terribly with fright. “A-Are you guys bought over by someone? But thot's impossible. Bryon ond Brondon ore like beggors now. Where did they get the money from? Fine. How much ore they poying you? I'll poy double. No, I'll poy triple!”

Despite thot, the ossossins ignored him ond drew their doggers.

The weopons glinted coldly in the dork, cousing Thomos to shiver violently.

Then they lounched their ottock on Thomos without ony reservotion.

“Ah! No...” Thomos let out o screom thot losted less thon o second before stopping obruptly.

In the blink of on eye, the three ossossins' doggers hod stobbed into Thomos dozens of times, forming countless holes in his body thot bled profusely. In the end, he lost oll signs of life.

Thomos' moid rushed in when she heord the commotion.

Her mind went blonk ot the sight of the scene before her. She shivered uncontrollobly ond instontly let out o blood-curdling screom.

Just then, the three ossossins finolly stopped ond turned their heods slowly, smiling oddly ot her.

Then, they roised their doggers ond stobbed their throots.

Their heods croshed to the ground os blood spurted uncontrollobly from their necks.

“Ah!” the moid shrieked ond possed out.

Meonwhile, Zeke, who wos still spying on Bryon, received o coll from Sole Wolf.

The lotter soid in o grim tone, “Zeke, something hoppened. I've just received news thot Thomos is deod.”

“Huh?” Zeke's heort skipped o beot. “Could there be such coincidences? Thomos, o person with o unique identity, dying during such o cruciol moment? Did you monoge to find out if he's in ony woy reloted to Netherworld?”

Thomas had nowhere to run to. He shuddered terribly with fright. “A-Are you guys bought over by someone? But that's impossible. Bryan and Brandon are like beggars now. Where did they get the money from? Fine. How much are they paying you? I'll pay double. No, I'll pay triple!”

Despite that, the assassins ignored him and drew their daggers.

The weapons glinted coldly in the dark, causing Thomas to shiver violently.

Then they launched their attack on Thomas without any reservation.

“Ah! No...” Thomas let out a scream that lasted less than a second before stopping abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, the three assassins' daggers had stabbed into Thomas dozens of times, forming countless holes in his body that bled profusely. In the end, he lost all signs of life.

Thomas' maid rushed in when she heard the commotion.

Her mind went blank at the sight of the scene before her. She shivered uncontrollably and instantly let out a blood-curdling scream.

Just then, the three assassins finally stopped and turned their heads slowly, smiling oddly at her.

Then, they raised their daggers and stabbed their throats.

Their heads crashed to the ground as blood spurted uncontrollably from their necks.

“Ah!” the maid shrieked and passed out.

Meanwhile, Zeke, who was still spying on Bryan, received a call from Sole Wolf.

The latter said in a grim tone, “Zeke, something happened. I've just received news that Thomas is dead.”

“Huh?” Zeke's heart skipped a beat. “Could there be such coincidences? Thomas, a person with a unique identity, dying during such a crucial moment? Did you manage to find out if he's in any way related to Netherworld?”

Since Thomas was Brantley's son, his identity was, naturally, unique.

Sole Wolf answered, “The details are still being investigated. We have yet to find traces of Netherworld.”

“Okay. Tell me, what's the current situation there?” Zeke asked.

“I'm not sure about the details since I've only received this news not long ago. I'll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible and come back to you. By the way, you can read the news too. This incident is already the talk of the town,” Sole Wolf informed.

“Okay.”

When the call ended, Zeke immediately looked up for news about Thomas.

Just like what Sole Wolf said, the news about Thomas' death had spread throughout the city.

This was because Thomas was quite an authoritative person around the area.

Moreover, his death was too gory.

The media had revealed pictures of the crime scene. Although they were blurred out, it was obvious that the house was full of blood, and there were numerous holes in Thomas' body.

Lying beside his body were three other corpses. Their necks were slashed, and one of their heads had rolled to the corner of the room. It was an eerie scene.

According to the media's report, Thomas' maid was the witness. She stated she saw the three men killing Thomas and then taking their own lives in front of her.
