Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2175

Zeke is Great Marshal, while I am the General North. Why do I feel that that prick doesn't show us any respect? Why would a lowly public servant act arrogantly like the Colonel?

The next moment, Zeke asked, “Will you still lock me up if I give you the chance to repeat the scenario?”

When Bertram swallowed nervously, Zeke added, “Just speak your mind.”

Bertram said, “I... I will!”

“Why?” Zeke asked.

Bertram replied, “No one... is above the law.”

“Haha!”

Zeke let out a hearty laugh and said, “Indeed, no one is above the law! I'll remember you! Now, I'll give you something.”

The first thing that popped into everyone's head was that Zeke wanted to throw a punch at Bertram.

Surprisingly, Great Marshal took out a purple badge and hung it around his neck. “Keep it as a present. I hope that you will remain true to yourself forever.”

What is that?

Everyone gazed at the item around Bertram's neck in curiosity.

At the same time, Bertram also grabbed the badge and studied it.

Later, everyone was startled upon realizing that it was the legendary purple griffin badge.

It was said that Great Marshal always carried the purple griffin badge with him. Whoever owned the griffin badge could exercise Great Marshal's authority.

In other words, the griffin badge represented the authority of Great Marshal!

What is Great Marshal doing? Why didn't he blame Bertram even after he locked him up? Furthermore, he even gifted Bertram the purple griffin badge! Why did Great Marshal show kindness to Bertram instead of punishing him?

Bertram was also confused. “Great Marshal, you...”

Zeke patted his shoulder and said, “Bertram, not bad! I'm touched by how determined you are to stay true to yourself. I hope you can keep it that way as you progress. Also, don't bow and scrape before the rich and powerful. Remember what you've said—no one is above the law. If any influential figure violates the law, you can show the griffin badge and execute him on the spot. I've given you the authority to do so!”

Bertram was emotional. “Thank you, Great Marshal. I will work harder and not disappoint you. Just for confirmation, am I allowed to punish anyone who violates the law regardless of their status?”
