Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2157

Zeke hastily consoled, “Calm down. I've already assigned multiple lookouts around Emma's office. The moment any danger appears, they'll be able to inform me about it right away even if they can't give Emma full protection. For now, they haven't sent me any message, so that means Emma should be fine.”

At that, David sighed in relief. Nevertheless, he took out his phone to call her as he was still worried about Emma.

It was only after the call went through and Emma reassured him that she was fine then did David finally became at ease.

Zeke then said, “Come in and have a meal first. From now on, we'll have to have at least one person staying behind to take care of Amelia.

The others nodded in agreement.

Right as Zeke was about to enter the house, his phone abruptly rang. When he fished it out of his pocket, he realized it was a call from Rhett.

“That's weird.” Zeke frowned. “Why would Rhett call me all of a sudden? He knows that'll make me feel disgusted by him.”

It was an unusual occurrence, and thus, Zeke picked up the call.

However, Rhett's voice was not the voice on the other end of the line. Instead, an unfamiliar middle-aged man's voice traveled into Zeke's ears.

“Hello, may I know if you're Rhett Mitxel's family or friend?”

Zeke furrowed his brows. “I'm Rhett's friend. Who are you? Why are you calling me with Rhett's phone?”

The other man promptly replied, “I'm from the police station. Something has happened to your friend Rhett Mitxel. He's a foreigner, and he only has one Eurasian in his contacts, which is you. I hope you'll be able to come here and help with his case for a little.”

Thump!

Zeke's heart skipped a beat.

Oh, da*n it! Kush Clan must have done this. They've been wanting to get the right to work on Project Mitxel since the beginning. Rhett got in their way to getting a great fortune, so it's no surprise that Kush Clan has gotten rid of him! Bollocks, I should've sent someone to protect Rhett.

A hint of guilt flashed past his mind.

“Zeke, what's the matter?” Sole Wolf realized that Zeke fell silent and still after picking up a call, so he figured out something must have happened.

Zeke then quietly said, “David, stay here. The rest of you come with me.”

Zeke was genuinely livid after Kush Clan's continuous provocation. He was going to take his revenge, and he was going to teach Kush Clan a lesson!

The moment Zeke turned solemn, the others turned grave as well.

David stayed behind to protect Amelia and Madeline while the others went with Zeke.

Madeline did not insist that they stay for the meal.

By then, she could guess that Zeke and the others were no ordinary people. She was sure that they had something important to work on, so she was not going to make things even harder for them.

On their way there, Sole Wolf tentatively asked, “Zeke, what happened?”

Zeke replied, “Kush Clan has made a move against Rhett.”

The few of them inhaled sharply.

Killer Wolf then whispered, “Zeke, say, is there any connection between Killer Wolf looking for Amelia before going after Rhett?”

Zeke drew his brows together. “I'm not very sure either. However, Kush Clan never does anything unnecessary. There must be a reason for them to look for Amelia before Rhett. Be careful. Kush Clan is much slyer than we think they are.”

“Okay.”

They nodded.

Soon, they came to Haleton Hotel.

The police had already barricaded the outside of Haleton Hotel. Many curious people were standing behind the tapes, speculating and discussing the matter.

Zeke then instructed Sole Wolf and the others, “Look around the place to see if you can find any traces of Kush Clan or any other evidence.”

“Got it!”

Sole Wolf and the others then dispersed to scour through the surroundings.

Meanwhile, Zeke squeezed through the crowd, but he was stopped by an officer before he could enter the barricaded area.

Immediately, he informed the officer that he was the friend of the victim. With that, the officer let him in.
