Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2161

Bertram continued to act composed as he sat before Zeke. “Mr. Williams, I'm done taking your statements. Thank you for cooperating.”

“Can I leave now?” the latter asked.

“Of course.”

At that, Zeke stood up to leave.

However, just as he turned around, Bertram pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head.

“Stop right there, Mr. Williams.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned around. Even though he saw Bertram pointing a gun at him, he wasn't surprised at all.

Eric and the others had already reported him, so it would be a miracle if Bertram had let him off the hook just like that.

“What is the meaning of this?” Zeke asked.

“Do you really have to ask? You know exactly what you've done.”

“Sorry. I really don't.”

“All right, then. Let me remind you. Why did you kill Rhett?”

“Why are you so sure that I was the one who killed him? Is it all because of that piece of fabric?”

“That's not all, of course. Tell me, where were you an hour before he died?”

“I was obviously at home.”

“Liar! You had clearly gone to a hotel with Rhett, and even had a fight with him in one of the rooms.”

“Don't spew nonsense if you don't have any evidence. Otherwise. you'd have to bear the legal consequences for what you just said.”

“Fine. You want evidence? I'll give you evidence. Do you know who Ms. Lucy is?”

“Ms. Lucy from Mitxel Group?”

“Of course.”

“Yes, I know her.”

“There was once a contradiction between you, Rhett, and Ms. Lucy, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, where is Ms. Lucy now?”

“How would I know?”

“Hmph! You're still trying to hide the truth! You've killed her and buried her somewhere near your company, didn't you?”

Lucy is dead?

Zeke wasn't expecting this.

If I'm not wrong, this must be Sheldon's doing. He must have blamed it on me.

Both Sheldon and Kush Clan are really ruthless.

It's only been a day, but they managed to get me involved in two murders.

“I didn't kill them.”

“There are so many pieces of evidence to prove that you were the one who killed them. What's there to refute now? I advise you to just give up. Stop resisting and turn yourself in obediently.”

Just as both sides were raring to fight, someone barged into the room.

Bertram couldn't stop his heart from racing at the sight of the person who had just come in.

It was Clement, his immediate superior.

Why is he here?

It'd be troublesome if Zeke accidentally hurts him.

“Please stop right there, Mr. Bedzra! There's someone dangerous here. I'm worried that he would hurt you,” he quickly warned.

“What happened? What's going on?”

“It's hard to explain in just a few sentences. I'll report to you in detail later. Long story short, this person right here is a murderer. He's extremely brutal, so please leave the room, Mr. Bedzra.”

A murderer!

Clement's wicked gaze landed on Zeke.

“I'm here because of a murder case.”

“Huh? Are you reporting a murder? Who's the victim?” Bertram asked curiously.

“My Yartranian friend, Lucy.”

Lucy!

“I can't believe Lucy's your friend!”

“What? You know about Lucy too?”

A wry smile appeared on Bertram's face.

He didn't expect the murder victim to be his superior's friend. Even if he had caught the murderer, Clement would still blame everything on him.
