Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2273

Rick nodded hastily. “Great Marshal, feel free to ask us anything. We won't keep anything mum from you!”

Pointing at Cesar, Zeke cut to the chase. “Does he have any family members?”

“His wife and two kids are staying in the village nearby,” Rick replied right away.

“Go and bring me his family members,” Zeke instructed solemnly.

Rick asked quizzically, “Great Marshal, why do you intend to meet them?”

Sole Wolf snarled at him, “That's none of your business. Just follow Zeke's instruction!”

Rick nodded at once. “Okay! I'll go and bring them here now.”

To play safe, Zeke instructed, “Sole Wolf, go together with them. No matter what, you must get this mission accomplished!”

Sole Wolf reassured him, “Zeke, you can count on me. I'm sure as h*ll there won't be any problem bringing them back!”

Soon, he left together with Rick and the others.

After stealing a glance at Cesar, Zeke was astounded that the latter seemed to be unfazed. D*mn it! He seems oblivious to the threat! I bet he won't relent even if we threaten him with them in hand!

He was overcome by another wave of helplessness, not knowing what he should do if that was the case. The next moment, he closed his eyes and started to contemplate.

After a while, something came across his mind. At the thought, he hurriedly communicated telepathically with the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor without hesitation.

Soon, Zeke's lips curved into a faint smile. Hmm! If Cesar Muraco still doesn't give in even after we threaten him with his family members, we can only get the matter resolved through the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor!

In the meantime, Sole Wolf reached a village nearby with Rick and the others.

Shortly after, they came across a woman watering the vegetables in a vegetable garden.

At the same time, her two sons were squatting on the ground, giggling as they were trying to catch the grasshoppers.

Moments later, the woman straightened her body, massaging her waists to ease the soreness. The moment she threw a glance at her two sons, the frown on her face was prevailed by a loving smile.

She reminded the elder boy gently, “Gavin, keep an eye on your younger brother. Don't go too far, okay?”

“Okay, Mom!” the two boys replied mellifluously.

The scene was just like a beautiful painting with a harmonious blend of familial warmth and peacefulness of the village life.

Sole Wolf suddenly did not have the heart to carry out his mission.

However, when Dawn's innocent smiling face flashed across his mind, he talked himself into getting a grip of himself and stepping into the compound.

The woman was caught off guard when Sole Wolf came into sight.

Nevertheless, she heaved a sigh of relief after catching sight of Rick and the others standing behind Sole Wolf. “Ah! Rick, it's you! Why're you guys here?”

“Hmm!” the latter only murmured briefly without uttering any words.

Meanwhile, the two kids darted toward him in high spirits. “Mr. Baker, why haven't you visited us for a long time? We miss you so much!”

“I'm busy lately.” Rick had to give an excuse; his heart wrenched at his innocence.

Gavin scanned the surroundings eagerly but cast his eyes down when his father was nowhere to be seen. “Mr. Baker, where's my dad? Why isn't he coming back together with you?” There was a sense of unmissable disappointment in his voice.

Rick uttered casually, “Your dad is occupied and can't come by himself. That's why he requested me help fetch you to meet him.”

“Really?” Tickled pink, they applauded. “Yeah! We can finally go and meet Daddy!”

“Mr. Baker, let's go now. Don't keep my dad waiting. I miss him so much!” Gavin urged him excitedly.

Rick smiled bitterly. “Okay!”

No doubt, the two innocent kids could not sense anything awry. Nevertheless, their mother could smell a rat just by looking at Rick's expression.

Hence, she sent the kids away wittingly. “Go in to pack your things first and change into your new clothes.”

“Okay!” The two kids darted into the house jubilantly.

Fastening her gaze on Rick, she asked earnestly. “Rick, be frank with me. Something happened to Cesar, right? Is that why he's unable to come himself?”
