Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2412

Judging from Sheldon's tone, it seemed he was not joking. Jared began to get a clearer picture of the truth.

“Zeke Williams!” Jared gritted his teeth. “He's the culprit. He must be the one behind this! He wants to wipe me out!”

Sheldon pleaded with him, “Mr. Jared, what are we going to do? Without the money, Intercontinental Group could at most last for a couple of days.”

Jared replied, “What are we going to do? Use your f*cking brain and think of a solution! I can't even protect myself anymore. Zeke, you're dead—”

All of a sudden, Siete gave Jared a tight slap.

“How dare you speak the Great Marshal's name!”

Jared felt utterly humiliated. Never in his life had he been slapped by someone in front of his friends.

His eyes turned red, and he clenched his teeth. How he wished he could fight to the death with Siete.

Yet, Jared knew he was no match for the latter.

Moreover, the entire Mitxel family, including his wife and children, would be exterminated if he died.

Jared did not let his emotions get the better of him because he understood the burden he had to shoulder.

Upon realizing the cruel reality, he could only swallow his pride and give in.

Though the humiliation was unbearable and utterly degrading, Jared still gritted his teeth and called Zeke.

The call went through, and Zeke answered in a nonchalant voice, “Who is this?”

Jared wished he could kill Zeke, but he contained his anger and clenched his teeth. “Zeke, or perhaps I should call you the Great Marshal instead? I'm Jared Mitxel from the Mitxel family.”

Zeke responded, “Jared Mixtel. I've heard a lot about you. Why did you call me since I don't know you?”

Jared took a deep breath and replied, “Great Marshal, let's not beat around the bush anymore. I believe you know I'm the culprit behind the attacks on Linton Group. I've learned my mistake and want to apologize for my stupid actions. I'm sorry, Great Marshal, and I hope you can forgive me. Let's not dwell on our past anymore, shall we? It's not going to do us any good.”

Zeke sighed. “I've given you a chance before this, but you didn't appreciate it...”

Jared said, “Great Marshal, I know you still hold a grudge against me, and I don't expect you to forgive me. How about this? I'll pay you one hundred billion to compensate all your losses.”

“Jared, did Rhett not tell you my terms and conditions?” Zeke replied with a cold snort.

Jared knitted his brows. “Nope. Could you tell me how much you asked for? I believe one hundred billion is more than enough to cover all the damages I've caused.”

“Nope. It's far from enough,” Zeke replied.

Jared said, “All right. Tell me your terms and conditions. Let's have a discussion together.”

Zeke explained, “I told Rhett that I want three hundred billion from you in addition to half of Mixtel Group's fixed assets.”

Jared bounced up from his seat. What?

“No way. Don't even think about it! Three hundred million is all of Mitxel Group's cash flow. Our company will not be able to operate if we give you all the money. If you take half of our fixed assets away, the Mitxel family will collapse in two days!” he exclaimed.

Zeke let out a mirthless laugh. “Think about it before giving me an answer. The Mitxel family could still live a considerably comfortable life even if I've taken three hundred billion and half of the fixed assets away from your company. Don't give me a reason to exterminate the entire family. I don't want my actions to give me a bad name either.”

“However, if you refuse to fulfill my requirements, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid the Mitxel family will vanish from the face of the earth by midnight. I guess I don't mind tarnishing my reputation, after all.”
