Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2456

The other villagers quickly piped up, “Let me do it. You only need to give me eight hundred!”

“Five hundred!”

“D*mn it! A hundred. I'll do it for a hundred!”

Since the two graves were likely empty graves, the villagers were no longer worried about the consequences of digging them. Hence, they fought against each other for the task.

However, Lev grinned and said, “Stop f*cking fighting. I won't even give ten, let alone a hundred. I've been unlucky my whole life, but I've finally had a change in luck. Do you really think that I'll let you take the opportunity instead? Keep dreaming.”

Lev then spat on his hand before digging the graves.

The villagers watched him work with resentment and envy on their faces.

They did not care why the graves were empty at all.

All they cared about was money.

Not long after, Lev was done digging up the two coffins. Unsurprisingly, the coffins were empty, and the elderly couple's bodies were gone.

That helped affirm Zeke's guesses.

Since Yannick and Yoshua were still alive, Zeke could continue investigating the lead.

Nevertheless, the question of how he should find Yannick and Yoshua in this big world remained.

It was impossible for surveillance cameras to exist in the remote village.

With that thought in mind, Zeke looked at the elderly village chief as his head pounded. “Sir, do Yannick and Yoshua not have any other relatives here?”






























The elderly village chief shook his head, but he soon stated, “I just remembered something. Yannick has been engaged to my daughter since they were young. Yannick even mentioned this when he came back, and of course, I agreed to it. Would my daughter be considered his family?”

Zeke asked, “Oh. Which is your daughter?”

The elderly village chief turned to the crowd and said, “Come on out, Sherry.”

A girl stepped out of the crowd.

She was tall, and she had a pretty face. Although her clothes were a little old-fashioned, her good looks still salvaged her overall appearance.

Yannick must like her face. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned his engagement to the old village chief. I wonder if Yannick will come back to bring Sherry away.

Thus, Sherry became the only lead Zeke had.

Zeke then said to the old village chief, “All right. I won't disturb you any longer, so go back to split up the money among yourselves.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr. Williams.”

Finally, everything was done, and the old village chief swiftly ran back home.

The villagers followed closely behind, talking loudly as they went.

In the meantime, Sole Wolf was staring at the graves resentfully. “F*ck, we finally got a lead, but is this all it is? I can't accept this.”

Zeke told him, “The lead still works. Sherry's also a lead. Now, we can only hope that Yannick can't forget about Sherry and come back for her.”

Sole Wolf nodded. “That's right.”

“Sole Wolf, keep a close eye on Sherry. If you notice anyone suspicious targeting Sherry, take them down.”

“Got it!”

Zeke continued, “I'm going to check the situation at Yannick's university, so I might not be around for the next few days. Contact me directly if anything happens.”

Sole Wolf hummed. “Zeke, Yannick and Yoshua have already graduated from university two years ago. What would you be able to find out there?”

“I suspect that Yannick and Yoshua have already come into contact with the mysterious huge hand since their university days,” Zeke explained. “Their plan started when they entered Linton Group.”

“That makes sense.”

At that, without further ado, Zeke leaped and disappeared from Sole Wolf's line of sight.

A while later, Zeke came to the university at which Yannick and Yoshua used to study—a finance and economics university.

He had already told Cygnus Room about the matter, so Cygnus Room had pulled strings and asked the head of the university to greet Zeke personally.

The old university president, Frank Martell, had gray hair, but his intelligent eyes were bright.

By the time Zeke arrived, Frank had been waiting for Zeke by the entrance for a long time.

The moment Zeke arrived, Frank hurried over and bowed at Zeke.

“It's an honor to meet you, Great Marshal!”
