Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2109

I can't believe I tried to punish the Great Marshal! Oh, dear. Even if I'm a cat with nine lives, that won't be sufficient. I'm doomed! It's over. I'm done for this time.

Jannik suddenly had a daring thought—to bang his head against a wall and kill himself.

He'd rather die than face the Great Marshal's wrath.

This is too scary!

Hugo's voice rang out. “Jannik, listen carefully. No matter what you do, get the Great Marshal's forgiveness even if you have to grovel before him until you bleed to your death. If you drag me into your mess, I'll drag your family down with me as well.”

Slap!

The call ended curtly.

Jannik sat motionless as he broke down.

What now? What do I do next? I insulted the Great Marshal, so he will definitely want me dead. I'm screwed! The only way to make it up for my mistake is to die before him!

Even if it meant sacrificing his own life, Jannik was determined to protect his family.

With that thought in mind, Jannik stepped out of the car in a daze.

Right after he stepped out, Benjamin ran over to him. “Uncle Jannik, you're finally done with the call. You have no idea how arrogant the young man is. He had just yelled at you! Oh, he also cursed my ancestors. We share the same ancestors, remember? You'll have to make sure he gets punished severely!”

Jonnik wonted nothing more thon to smosh Benjomin into smithereens.

If it wosn't for him, I wouldn't hove offended the Greot Morshol! It wos oll his foult!

A wove of fury croshed through Jonnik os he gove Benjomin o forceful slop. “Shut the f*ck up! If you utter onother word, I sholl moke you poy!”

Benjomin crodled his cheek in stunned silence.

Whot the f*ck? Whot's hoppening? We're on the some side! Why did you turn on me ofter thot phone coll? Did you just slop me? Are you nuts?

The burning sensotion spreoding over his cheek coused him to feel utterly humilioted.

Benjomin wosn't olone, for everyone else could borely hide their shock.

Everyone knew how much Jonnik odored Benjomin.

Jonnik only hod o doughter, so he ond Benjomin were like fother ond son.

However, he hod just slopped Benjomin in front of everyone. No one knew whot wos going on.

Underneoth the crowd's ostonished gozes, Jonnik shuffled over to Zeke.

After coming to o stop before Zeke, he dropped to his knees ond kneeled before Zeke.

“Mr. Willioms, I should be domned for not knowing who you ore. Vent your onger on me, but pleose don't implicote the innocent people,” he pleoded in o shoking voice.

Jannik wanted nothing more than to smash Benjamin into smithereens.

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have offended the Great Marshal! It was all his fault!

A wave of fury crashed through Jannik as he gave Benjamin a forceful slap. “Shut the f*ck up! If you utter another word, I shall make you pay!”

Benjamin cradled his cheek in stunned silence.

What the f*ck? What's happening? We're on the same side! Why did you turn on me after that phone call? Did you just slap me? Are you nuts?

The burning sensation spreading over his cheek caused him to feel utterly humiliated.

Benjamin wasn't alone, for everyone else could barely hide their shock.

Everyone knew how much Jannik adored Benjamin.

Jannik only had a daughter, so he and Benjamin were like father and son.

However, he had just slapped Benjamin in front of everyone. No one knew what was going on.

Underneath the crowd's astonished gazes, Jannik shuffled over to Zeke.

After coming to a stop before Zeke, he dropped to his knees and kneeled before Zeke.

“Mr. Williams, I should be damned for not knowing who you are. Vent your anger on me, but please don't implicate the innocent people,” he pleaded in a shaking voice.

To everyone's utter disbelief, Jannik began slapping himself continuously. The clear and sharp smacks echoed in everyone's mind for a long time.

The onlookers almost had their eyes popped out.

What in the world? Are we dreaming? Is Jannik Ludpecker, the second most powerful man in the city, kneeling before an ordinary man? Has he lost his mind?

Benjamin was about to go crazy.

He had initially summoned his uncle to take revenge on Zeke. Alas, his uncle was currently kneeling before his enemy.

This is downright embarrassing. What will my colleagues think of me?

Benjamin was so intent on his fury that he completely overlooked one thing—just how influential was Zeke for Jannik to get on his knees before him?

“Uncle Jannik, what are you doing? Has he put a spell on you? Get up right now. Don't kneel before him!” Benjamin demanded.

Jannik glared at him. “Get over here right now. Kneel before Mr. Williams and apologize to him now!”

Benjamin remained stubborn. “I won't do that. Why would I kneel before him?”

“I... I...”

Jannik was at a loss for words. This b*stard is so dense! Can't he tell Mr. Williams is someone whom I can't afford to upset?
