Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2169

Zeke would never allow Teddy to go off just like that before interrogating him.

He then gathered a ball of energy and went directed it at Teddy. It successfully pinned him down on the floor.

At that instant, Teddy felt as if tonnes of weight were on his body, suffocating him and he could not move an inch.

Whoa! What on earth is going on?

He felt that his mind had gone haywire.

Seconds ago, I was still perfectly fine. But now, I feel like all my bones are crushed to pieces. This weight on me is unbearable! Oh no, am I possessed by some evil spirits?

“Ah, what's up, Teddy? Are you okay? I see that you're badly injured,” said Bertram.

“Jake, please send the casualty to the hospital,” instructed Bertram.

Jake took note of the order received and tossed Sheldon into the car.

Zeke thought about the whole situation for a moment and let Sheldon go.

He can't die yet, for he's the remaining clue left to help me get to Kush Clan.

Bertram requested, “Zeke, we'll perform an investigation on this case. As the only suspect, please cooperate with us. Get down on the floor now and place your hands behind your head.”

Zeke negotiated, “I can do as you say but on one condition.”

“Go ahead,” said Bertram.

“I want to see Clement Bedzra personally, your immediate superior.”

“Why is that so?” Bertram was puzzled.

Zeke answered, “Because you're not in any position to engage in a conversation with me. Besides, I have some classified information for him.”

“I...” Bertram was infuriated, but compromised in the end.

“Sure, I'll contact Mr. Bedzra.”

This matter had a serious implication, and it had blown up beyond what Bertram could handle.

Since Zeke had some classified news to share with Clement, it must be something very important. Bertram could not afford to make any mistake by delaying it.

Hence, he fished out his phone and made a call.

Right then, Clement was having a jolly good time with a masseuse at a hot spring resort under Intercontinental Group.

Needless to say, it was pre-arranged by Sheldon.

When he saw the caller ID, a nasty feeling started brewing in the pit of his stomach.

He answered the call cautiously, “Yes, Bertram. Anything?”

“Mr. Bedzra, something happened. I'm afraid I need you to make a trip here,” Bertram uttered.

“What happened?” Clement asked.

“The suspect, Zeke Williams, set up a fire and tried to escape prison. We haven't had him subdued, and this matter is getting slightly out of hand. Apart from that, he claimed to have some top secrets for you. I conjectured it's about the murder case. Therefore, we need you here, Mr. Bedzra,” explained Bertram.

Oh boy!

“All right, I'm on my way.”

He hung up, got dressed hastily, and left for the police station.

Enraged, Clement was cursing Sheldon in his mind.

D*mn you, Sheldon. The plan was to get Zeke entangled in the quagmire and then murder him once and for all. Now, he's still alive and even tried to prison break. If this escalates, I might get into trouble too. Stupid Sheldon, what an incompetent b*stard! Had I known this would happen, I would have refused to help him from the start.

He tried to reach for Sheldon when he was on the road, but no one picked up his calls.

Alternatively, he called Bertram.

The call went through really quickly.

Bertram asked, “Do you have any instructions for me, Mr. Bedzra?”

Clement replied with a question, “How's the situation there?”

Bertram reported, “Everything's under control, and the suspect is very composed.”

Clement reminded, “It might all be an act. Perhaps, it's the calm before the storm. Anyhow, don't let your guard down. Continue to watch him vigilantly. If there are any suspicious acts, just shoot him. Rest assured that I'll bear the consequences. Your lives matter, so... it doesn't matter if he's mistakenly killed. It's better to be safe than sorry.”
