Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1996

Cain had no choice but to agree.

Before leaving, Yazmin called out to Zeke loudly, “Handsome, come to my house too. I will serve you my best drink.”

It was only then that Cain noticed Zeke.

He eyed Zeke with caution and asked, “Who are you?”

Before Zeke could answer, Yazmin cut in. “Cain, he is a special guest whom the Holy Maiden has invited to the village.”

There was a distinct tone of provocation in her statement.

When Cain heard that, he asked, “Special guest? What kind of special guest?”

Turning to Erwen, he questioned, “Erwen, is he your friend?”

One could detect the hint of jealousy in his question.

The Holy Maiden was as silent as ever.

She could not be bothered to explain anything. Her sixth sense told her that maintaining her silence was the best way to go.

If Cain misinterpreted her silence, it was even better for her. Perhaps, this man may turn out to be my shield.

Nevertheless, it was a one-in-a-million chance, but she was still hopeful.

She had no wish to marry Cain.

True enough, Cain misunderstood as she had expected.

Through gritted teeth, he said, “Why are you keeping quiet? Is that a yes? Hmph! Nobody is going to take away the woman I want!”

He stared at Zeke with a murderous look. “I don't care who you are or where you are from. I want you out of here before the night ends! Erwen is mine! I will kill whoever tries to covet her for sure! Don't doubt my skills. I have a thousand ways to torture you!”

Zeke responded with disdain, “Don't worry about how we are related. Your threat alone is enough for me to slaughter your entire family. Get lost! Or else, I will seal your fate right now!”

F*cker!

Cain was pissed off. “This is my territory. What gives you the right to judge me! If you don't get lost right now, I will give it to you!”

With that, Cain charged at Zeke with his fist up.

The moment Cain raised his arm, a slap from Zeke landed on Cain's face.

Slap!

Then, Cain's body flew in a perfect arc across the sky, and he smashed into the pond nearby.

Both Erwen and Yazmin were staring in shock. That was so impressive!

The pond was deep, and Cain did not know how to swim. He started struggling to stay afloat and looked extremely pathetic.

“Help, help!”

His calls for help spread far and wide. Eight men came rushing out of the third floor of the clan leader's house.

The eight of them, who were dressed in black, had accompanied Cain to deliver the wedding dowry.

When they saw Cain struggling in the pond, they turned pale with fright and started yelling, “Quick, save His Highness. Save him!”

“Holy sh*t! We will show whoever hits His Highness no mercy!”

“The person who dared to do this must be sick and tired of living.”

The eight of them scrambled to pull Cain out of the pond. Once Cain was out, he started vomiting and was unable to speak.

Once Cain was done with his purging, his men asked him, “Your Highness, who did this to you?”

They knew that Cain had been thrown into the water because of the prominent slap mark on his face.

Cain stared daggers at Zeke. “It's him. Kill him. F*ck! I want to chop his body up and feed it to the pigs.”

The eight men dressed in black picked up their weapons and charged at Zeke without another word.

At that moment, the immediate reaction of the Holy Maiden was to defend Zeke.

“Stop! As the Holy Maiden, I command you to stop right now!”

Zeke was confused. Why is she protecting me?

Even the Holy Maiden was shocked by her own action.

Oh dear, why am I protecting him?

He has beaten my guards up and even destroyed my sedan chair. He has even forced me to bring him here.

Rightfully, we should be enemies!
