Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2369

Zeke's gaze fell on Grayson and Lenard. “Are these two your aides?”

Tavian quickly explained, “Not exactly. I just thought I should put them in charge of Redwood Capital because they're quite skilled in business-related matters. As for aides, well, they don't have the right to become my aides yet. Are you saying these two were taking bribes and abusing their power?”

Zeke nodded.

Both Grayson and Lenard were terrified to the bones. They smashed their foreheads on the floor as a sign of apology so hard that they were bleeding.

“We were wrong. We were truly wrong.”

“Please forgive us! We'll definitely change!”

“Please be merciful and forgive us! Please, just think of us as nothing but a piece of trash to be thrown away and let us go!”

Tavian's mind had already been filled with rage. He rushed forward, kicked both of them to the ground, and started beating them like a madman.

“How dare you two bully Zeke! Are you two sick of living already? I worship him as a deity every day. What right do you two have to bully him? If I don't kick you both to death today, I'll die a horrible death!” He was a member of Dragon Guards, so it was easy to imagine just how strong he was.

There was no way Grayson and Lenard could endure his attacks.

Not long after, both of them were foaming at their mouths. Blood was bleeding out of their facial orifices. At any moment, they could go into shock.

Since both of them were still useful, Zeke waved his hand and stopped Tavian. “That's enough, Tavvy. Don't kill them.”

Only then did Tavian stop and spit on them. “You two should be thankful that Zeke stopped me. Otherwise, both of you would've been dead in my hands!”

“Hand both of them to the authorities and have them investigated. They must be punished severely.”

“Understood!”

Grayson and Lenard promptly thanked Zeke for sparing them.

They thought they were going to die after insulting and trying to kill the boss of their boss.

Yet they were surprised at how forgiving Zeke was and how he only wanted to sanction them by law. They had assumed they would be punished privately.

Zeke glanced at Lenard. “You, come over here!”

Like a dog, Lenard crawled toward Zeke. “I'm sorry, Zeke. I'll do whatever you—”

Tavian kicked Lenard again, causing the latter to stumble on the ground. “F*ck off! You don't get to call him by his name!”

“I'm sorry, Sir!” Lenard quickly changed how he called Zeke.

“Tell me everything about your deal with Daisy.” Zeke's tone was as cold as ice.

Of course, Lenard didn't have the guts to hide anything as he spilled the beans.

Once Tavian finished listening to the story, he exploded in anger again. “How dare you take bribes! I'm going to kick you to death, motherf*cker! Also, you have some nerve to work with Zeke's enemies! Are you that eager to visit the afterlife?”

“All right, that's enough.” Zeke quickly stopped him. “I've told you this guy's still useful to me. If you kick him to death, you'll affect my plan.”

Only then did Tavian stop.

Zeke told Lenard his plan in detail.

Lenard quickly nodded. “Don't worry, Sir. I'll definitely do as you ask.”

“If anything goes wrong, I won't stop Tavian from doing things to you.”

“Yes, yes.”

Zeke glanced at the time. “All right, I have things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now. Tavvy, take good care of Redwood Capital. Clear out all unsavory elements left in the company.”

“Don't worry, Zeke. I won't disappoint you again,” Tavian replied. “One more thing, Zeke.”

Zeke stopped in his tracks. “Speak.”

“I beg you, Zeke. Can you stop making me take care of Redwood Capital? I'm not a business guy, and I want to help out our old war buddies. Please let me return to the battlefield. I'd rather die on the battlefield to atone for my sins than stay here.”
