Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2295

Meanwhile, Zeke gave the Progenitor a solemn warning. “Progenitor, now that Dawn is in your care, you are responsible for her safety. If she so far has a scratch on her, I will make sure you pay for it.”

The Progenitor reassured Zeke at once, “Don't worry. I swear upon my life that if anything happens to Dawn, my entire species will pay for it with their lives. Also, if I deploy the Myriad Worm Formation, few in this world will be able to stand against me.”

It was only then that Zeke allowed the Progenitor and Dawn to go.

Once they were gone, Lacey gave Zeke a worried look. “Zeke, now that Linton Group is in a mess, there's no chance of recovering from it. Worse comes to worst, let's just forget about it.”

Breaking into a slight grin, Zeke tousled Lacey's hair. “Lacey, don't you worry. With me around, Linton Group will not fall. In fact, I have put in place a plan behind the scenes. However, the time isn't right now. Once the opportunity arrives, the plan I have arranged will automatically be set in motion. When that happens, I will hand Linton Group back to you in all its glory.”

Lacey's eyes sparkled. “Zeke, is what you say true?”

He beamed. “Since when have I lied to you before?”

Lacey nodded. “Mmm-hmm. I knew that you would never disappoint me.”

Zeke added, “Lacey, as of now, I have an important task for you.”

Lacey nodded. “Sure, whatever it is, just tell me. I promise to do my best to complete it.”

Zeke explained, “You should take a break and not worry about Linton Group's affairs anymore. Look at what it has done to you? Your eyebags are starting to appear.”

Lacey nodded. “Mmm-hmm. All right then, I'll take your advice. By the way, Zeke, when will you be home to visit Missy? She has been missing you a lot.”

The thought of Missy's adorable smile warmed Zeke's heart.

Despite the urge to go to her side, he was forced to keep his distance from her.

Now that he was faced with a huge group of enemies, they might set their sights on Missy if he got too close to her. Therefore, it wasn't worth the risk to do so.

Zeke gave Lacey an apologetic look. “Lacey, I'm sorry. I can't be too close to both of you at the moment. Or else, I'll be putting the two of you in danger due to my special status.”

Lacey cracked a smile. “Zeke, don't worry. I understand. There's no need for you to explain. Also, you don't have to worry about Missy, for I'll take good care of her.”

“As for Linton Group and whatever else, there's no need for you to worry about them. All I care about is that you and Missy are safe.”

Zeke pulled Lacey into his embrace. “Lacey, you can rest assured that once I'm done with everything, I'll take you and Missy on a holiday.”

Lacey nodded.

At the same time, Zeke noticed a figure flash past the window and disappear.

Furrowing his brows, he grew vigilant at once.

He instructed Lacey, “Lacey, go home with Nancy now, and don't go back to the office. As for Daisy from Eminent Group, just ignore her. I will go and see him when I'm free.”

Lacey nodded. “All right. I'll do as you ask.”

After Lacey and Nancy had left, Zeke gave chase to the figure that had flashed past the window earlier.

After pursuing the figure to a quiet place in the southwest corner of the hospital, he finally caught sight of it.

It turned out to be Sole Wolf who had just sent Ernest to the military court.

Zeke demanded with a frown, “Sole Wolf, why are you running? Why didn't you show yourself to me?”

After hesitating a few times, Sole Wolf used his energy to communicate instead. “Zeke, I felt someone powerful following me. Hence, I didn't dare reveal myself for fear of exposing Lacey to the enemy.”
