Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2177

“You are in no position to negotiate with me, but you may go ahead and say what you have to say. I will consider it if your statement interests me,” Zeke said coldly.

Clement nodded profusely. “Okay, sure! I'm sure you will take great interest in my statement, Great Marshal! You see, Sheldon gave me a huge sum of money and even promised me immortality!”

“Pfft! Zeke is as strong as a Celestial Class fighter, and even he can only live up to three or four hundred years! You, an ordinary man, expect to gain immortality? How could you believe such bullsh*t?” Sole Wolf asked with a snicker.

“Please, you guys have to believe me! Sheldon really is capable of granting me immortality! That's because...”

Clement then lowered his voice to a whisper as he continued, “Because Sheldon has an immortal by his side.”

Immortal?

Zeke and Sole Wolf exchanged glances when they realized Clement could be referring to Kush Clan.

“You believe in immortals? Have you ever seen one?” Zeke asked.

“Well, you could say that. I didn't believe Sheldon at first when he told me he could grant me immortality. He said an immortal would visit me in my dream and give me something. Surely enough, I dreamt of that immortal that very night. He told me that I would achieve immortality if I help Sheldon and that I could even ascend to the world of immortals once I gained enough experience. Honestly, I was still unconvinced about the existence of that immortal when I first woke up. I figured I only dreamed of him because I kept thinking about the whole immortal thing during the day. However, something happened after I woke up and got me fully convinced that the immortal really does exist!” Clement replied.

“Oh? And what's that?” Sole Wolf asked.

“I found a photograph in my room. In that photograph, I could be seen having a conversation with that immortal. He looked exactly like he did in my dream. His appearance, his physique, his clothing, and even some minor details... Either Sheldon is able to take a photo of my dream, or that immortal really did visit me in my dream,” Clement explained.

Zeke and Sole Wolf went into deep thought after hearing that.

Visiting people in their dreams is a piece of cake for those from Kush Clan. They can easily affect a person's thoughts and emotions.

Infuriated, Bertram jabbed a finger at Clement and shouted, “You b*stard! You don't deserve to live! Not only are you ungrateful toward your taxpayers, but you even teamed up with businessmen to con them? You've betrayed the public's trust and the organization that brought you up! I'll dishonor my family name if I don't arrest you today!!”

Clement kept his head low in shame. “I'm sorry, I really am. I'm willing to give you my full cooperation in this investigation, Bertram. All I ask is that you give me a chance to make things right.”

He knew full well that the griffin badge Bertram owned would grant him the same authority that Zeke had. As such, Bertram was the only other person with the power to give him a lighter sentence.

Bertram is an idiot! All I have to do is put up a little act and he'll believe me fully!

Zeke glanced at Bertram and asked, “Will you be able to give the public the justice they deserve if I hand Clement over to you?”

“Don't worry, Great Marshal! I will be sure to investigate all of his crimes thoroughly and punish him accordingly!” Bertram replied with a salute.

“All right. I'll leave him to you, then. Oh, and let's not forget Teddy...” Zeke said as he shifted his gaze toward Teddy, who was lying unconscious on the floor.

He had fainted from shock the moment Zeke revealed his identity to him earlier.
