Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355

Hades let out a laugh before saying, “Now go.”

“If things proceed smoothly, I’ll appoint the Hinton’s as the leading family in Riverdale.”

“The Forrest Family has failed me. They are not worthy of leading the Riverdale District.”

Aaron was so excited that he was on the verge of tears. “Rest assured Mr. Yate, I won’t disappoint you.”

As soon as he hung up, Aaron immediately summoned Michael.

“Michael, contact the exhumation team right away, as soon as possible.”

“Grandpa, why do we need an exhumation team? Whose grave are we moving?” asked Michael.

“Moving the grave is simply a front,” answered Aaron.

“The real purpose is for us to become filthy rich, replacing the Forrest family as the leaders of the Riverdale District.”

Michael had even more questions than answers.

However, this was not the time to be asking questions as his grandfather had just emphasized the urgency of the matter.

Meanwhile, Zeke was driving Lacey and Nancy to an apparel store.

The reason why they were heading there was that Zeke had wanted to participate in the ceremony. To his misfortune, he had no appropriate outfits to wear. Lacey had no choice but to bring him to the nearest apparel store.

On the way there, Zeke received a call from Sole Wolf.

He hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided to answer.

“Brother, are you participating in the Hinton family’s ceremony? I’ll be attending too,” announced Sole Wolf from the other side of the phone.

Zeke furrowed his brows before saying, “What for?”

Sole Wolf sighed, “Remember when I’d helped you get rid of Samuel a few days back? There are rumors spreading that I was doing it for you.”

“In order to conceal your identity, I had no choice but to fabricate a lie, saying that I was indebted to a certain ancestor of the Hinton’s.”

“The story has it that I initially came here to attend the ceremony, as I was indebted to a certain ancestor of the Hinton’s. Nonetheless, it was pure coincidence that I was met with the ruckus, created by the underworld thugs. Hence, I had them sorted, out of justice.”

“You are smarter than I thought,” commended Zeke.

“Hehe, it was actually my officer’s idea,” pronounced Sole Wolf gleefully. It was apparent that he was elated by that quasi-compliment.

“Haha, I knew it. Come over if you wish,” offered Zeke.

“Alright brother.”

“Zeke, who was on the phone?” asked Lacey impatiently, as soon as the call ended.

“It was General North, he’s said that he will be attending the ceremony,” answered Zeke.

Nancy glanced at Zeke before she nonchalantly took out her cellphone. “Hello is this the Great Marshal? There’s a braggart over here and I don’t think I can deal with this,” mocked Nancy, pretending to be speaking on the phone.

This rendered Zeke speechless.

Fine, you win this time.

The three of them arrived at a western apparel shop.

Lacey carefully selected a tuxedo suit before she had Zeke try it out.

“Hmmph, such a nice suit would be wasted on a man like him. You can’t change a man’s innate trait, no matter what kind of clothes you have him put on,” drawled Nancy sarcastically.

Lacey was at a loss for words. “Nancy, isn’t that a little too much? What makes you dislike him so much anyway?”

“What do you mean? I was actually going easy on him.”

“I’ll have him know that it isn’t that easy to leech on my sister.”

“Fine, do as you wish,” relented Lacey as she shrugged.

It did not take long for Zeke to come out of the fitting room. “Honey, isn’t this a little tight?”

“I think I’m more comfortable with the casual clothes.”

“Honey, say something. What do you think Nancy?”

“What is going on with you two?”
