Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2461

Adonis quickly replied, “Don't get angry, Great Marshal. The president actually has two homes. He usually stays in the other place instead of this one. I'll take you to his other home right now.”

Zeke ordered, “Let's go!”

Once again, Adonis drove the three of them to their destination.

Not long after, they arrived at the former president's “other home,” which was a luxurious mansion in a fancy residential area.

Frank asked, “Are you sure he lives in this area, Mr. Valentine? He's not a rich person. How can he have the money to buy an expensive mansion like this? This must cost at least a million.”

With a bitter smile, Adonis informed, “Mr. Martell, the mansions here are at least twenty million. The one he owns has a market value of fifty million. I'll be honest with you, Mr. Martell. This mansion only cost less than a hundredth of the previous president's fortune.”

“What?” Frank stared at Adonis in disbelief as his body shook. “You're saying he's worth at least five billion?”

“At the very least, yes.”

Frank's voice trembled. “Where did he get so much money? H-How did he get them? I've never seen him do anything illegal before.”

“I was curious where he got the money, too. But, no matter how many times I asked him, he refused to tell me. He was very secretive about it.”

“All right, that's enough,” Zeke interjected. “Stop talking and let's go in.”

Without delay, Adonis brought them to the mansion's door before knocking on it.

No response.

Hence, he knocked on the door with even greater force. “It's me, Adonis! Open the door. I'm here to visit you.”

Still no response.

Strange. He muttered, “He's usually inside his house at this time of day. How can he not be at home? His car is still here.”

Annoyed, Zeke said, “I couldn't care less about that.”

He then kicked the door open and entered the building.

There was no one inside the empty living room.

Despite the huge commotion, no one bothered to come and check what was going on.

“Let's split up! We must find him!” Zeke declared.

“Okay!” the other two replied.

All three of them promptly went searching through all the rooms.

The mansion was huge, considering it had three floors and was nearly seven hundred square meters in size.

After looking for a while, Adonis suddenly shouted on the third floor. “A dead person! Come quickly! There's a dead person here!”

Not good! Zeke's heart dropped. Is it the former president?

Moving like a lightning bolt, he arrived on the third floor in a blink of an eye.

As he stood next to Adonis, he saw the latter slumped at the bedroom entrance. Adonis was staring wide-eyed at something inside the bedroom with a twisted and fearful expression.

Zeke quickly rushed in and took a look at what was inside.

There was an old man with white hair hanging on a large chandelier and swaying in the wind.

His tongue was stuck out of his mouth, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were rolled back, and his face was purple. Clearly, he had been dead for a while.

Zeke quickly asked Adonis, “Who is he?”

Adonis' answer disappointed Zeke. “He's the previous president.”

I can't believe he's dead, too. D*mmit! Another lead lost. Zeke gritted his teeth upon hearing the answer.

It was then Frank arrived after hearing the commotion.

When he saw the old man hanging on the chandelier, he suddenly felt light-headed and almost fell to the ground. Thankfully, he was caught by Zeke in time.

Mortified, he yelled, “S-Save him! Mr. Valentine, call the ambulance!”

Adonis stammered, “He's already dead, Mr. Martell. There's no saving him—”

“Bullsh*t!” Frank ran toward the corpse and attempted to save his former teacher. “Hang in there! I'll save you. I can save you...”
