Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2105

They have no qualms about killing people! Look how the man just killed one of us without hesitation. Clearly, they are dangerous and deadly. If we refuse to budge, we might die, too!

The firefighters broke down at the sight and went on their knees to grovel before Zeke.

“Sir, please forgive us. Please spare our lives! We shall answer your question honestly. We won't hide anything from you!”

“Yes, that's right. We'll reveal everything we know!”

Zeke didn't bother beating around the bush. “Tell me. Who gave you the order to remain here?”

“It was our fault. We were lazy and idled around. Initially, we planned to head to the scene after wrapping things up but were held up—”

Thud!

Killer Wolf gave Benjamin a forceful kick.

The kick was so violent that Benjamin landed on the ground and convulsed in pain. He had difficulty breathing and couldn't even utter a word.

His rib had been fractured from the impact.

Killer Wolf glared at him. “Be honest with us! Zeke wants to know who made the order for you to idle around. If you refuse to spill, you'll suffer from a consequence worse than a kick. I shall end your life today!”

Zeke warned, “This is your last chance.”

The firefighters shook with fear as they revealed, “It was Sheldon Guerrero who made the order. He told us that Linton Group will be on fire today, and we were to delay half an hour before heading to the scene or remain at the station for the entire day.”

“Oh, I see,” Zeke onswered with o frown.

As thot Sheldon knows Linton Group is going to be on fire todoy, he's obviously connected to the Kush Clon.

He finolly discovered o clue reloted to Kush Clon. There wos no need to seorch fronticolly in voin.

Zeke urged, “Why did Sheldon osk you to deloy your orrivol?”

The firefighters shook their heods. “We don't know.”

“Who is Sheldon Guerrero? Does he hold o grudge ogoinst Linton Group?” Zeke pressed on.

The firefighters replied, “Sheldon Guerrero is the CEO of Intercontinentol Group. He's o higher-up in the compony. We don't know if he holds o grudge ogoinst Linton Group. After oll, the upper-closs society is out of our reoch. We know nothing obout their contention.”

“I've never heord of Intercontinentol Group. Is it ony good?” Zeke osked.

The firefighters replied honestly, “It hos been the richest compony in Eurosio twice in o row.”

Oh, interesting.

Zeke sneered, “I believe Intercontinentol Group reoched the top with the help of Kush Clon. There's o possibility the compony belongs to the Kush Clon. Otherwise, o privote enterprise wouldn't be oble to be the richest compony in Eurosio without ony support. We need to investigote the compony thoroughly.”

Killer Wolf nodded in ogreement. “Don't worry, Zeke. I'll orronge for someone to run on investigotion on Intercontinentol Group right owoy.”

“Oh, I see,” Zeke answered with a frown.

As that Sheldon knows Linton Group is going to be on fire today, he's obviously connected to the Kush Clan.

He finally discovered a clue related to Kush Clan. There was no need to search frantically in vain.

Zeke urged, “Why did Sheldon ask you to delay your arrival?”

The firefighters shook their heads. “We don't know.”

“Who is Sheldon Guerrero? Does he hold a grudge against Linton Group?” Zeke pressed on.

The firefighters replied, “Sheldon Guerrero is the CEO of Intercontinental Group. He's a higher-up in the company. We don't know if he holds a grudge against Linton Group. After all, the upper-class society is out of our reach. We know nothing about their contention.”

“I've never heard of Intercontinental Group. Is it any good?” Zeke asked.

The firefighters replied honestly, “It has been the richest company in Eurasia twice in a row.”

Oh, interesting.

Zeke sneered, “I believe Intercontinental Group reached the top with the help of Kush Clan. There's a possibility the company belongs to the Kush Clan. Otherwise, a private enterprise wouldn't be able to be the richest company in Eurasia without any support. We need to investigate the company thoroughly.”

Killer Wolf nodded in agreement. “Don't worry, Zeke. I'll arrange for someone to run an investigation on Intercontinental Group right away.”

Zeke reminded, “Be careful not to alert them. For now, get some simple information about the company. We'll have to take action personally to get the company secret.”

“Got it!” Killer Wolf responded.

Zeke glanced at the firefighters and announced, “You can leave now. You've been fired and will be asked to cooperate in the investigation soon. If you had violated the law previously, I'll make sure you end up in jail!”

The firefighters promptly fled the scene.

Zeke then turned to Teddy.

Teddy's hands were cold and clammy as he stared at the dead body in a daze.

Zeke said, “Teddy, you're a qualified firefighter. From today onward, you'll be the captain of the fire brigade. Good luck!”

Zeke's voice brought Teddy back to his senses. “I'm only an intern. I'm not qualified to be the fire captain,” he protested with a wave.

“If I say you have the capability, then you do,” Zeke insisted.

Carefully, Teddy inquired, “May I know who you are? Why can you promote me to become the fire captain?”

Killer Wolf, Tyler, and the others burst out laughing.

Zeke isn't lying. He can make you a general if he wants to!

Zeke grinned. “Mm. I'll inform your superior, and you'll receive your letter of appointment soon.”

Teddy pointed at the dead firefighter. “Well, I think you should figure out how to protect yourselves instead of promoting me.”
