Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 482

Lone Wolf and Sole Wolf were petrified.

Kept-man? How dare she refers the Great Marshal as a kept-man? She must have a death wish. But that’s not the point. I can’t believe the Great Marshal is not furious at all. He’s unfazed as if he’s used to this description. What’s the matter with you, Great Marshal? This is unlike you!

Zeke was already immune to that description because Nancy was frequently addressing him in that manner. So he did not seem to care too much about Hadley’s comment.

Zeke said coldly, “I do not have much time, Hadley Murphy. You should confess your crimes as soon as possible. If you do, I can consider showing you mercy.”

Hadley replied, “Go to hell! I won’t tell you anything.”

“I guarantee you will spill out the truth on your own accord.”

“Impossible!”

“To me, there’s nothing impossible in this world!”

Hadley took a step back with the gun in her hand. “Stay where you are and do not take a step forward. Clear a path for me to leave this place at once. I know the three of you are skilled, and it will be difficult for me to kill all three of you. But I can tell you with utmost certainty. The first person to approach me will die.”

“Well, I don’t believe you,” Zeke mocked her.

“You don’t believe me? Then why don’t you give it a try?”

“Sure, why not?” Zeke suddenly yelped while looking behind Hadley fearfully, “Damn it, Finn! Don’t kill her. We need to keep her alive...”

Hadley was shocked. She was about to turn around to look behind her subconsciously. There’s another person! How many professionals are actually hiding in the shadows?

But she quickly regained her senses. This ba****d must be tricking me. He wants to steal my gun the moment I turn around. I cannot do as he wishes.

Hadley forced herself to stay still.

As she expected, Hadley did not hear a sound from behind her.

She felt relieved. Luckily, I did not fall for his trick.

Although Hadley was not deceived, she was distracted for a few seconds.

Those few seconds were sufficient for Zeke to end Hadley’s life.

Zeke flicked his wrist while Hadley was distracted. A silver needle shot out and pierced Hadley’s wrist.

A numbing sensation spread across her hand as she loosened her grip around the gun. Then the weapon fell out of Hadley’s hand.

Hadley was mind-blown. She hurriedly bent down to pick up the gun.

That gun was her only hope to stay alive.

But Lone Wolf had anticipated that. He kicked the stool beside him. Then the stool skidded forward and hit Hadley.

Hadley staggered backward after the collision while the stool shattered into broken pieces.

Sole Wolf pounced on Hadley before she could regain her stability. He caught her arms and held her wrists together behind her back to subdue her.

The three of them cooperated smoothly during the entire process. Hadley did not stand a chance against them.

She could only lay on the ground helplessly.

Hadley was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

I can’t believe I failed to put up any significant resistance while facing them. They subdued me effortlessly in one fluid motion.

Hadley was plagued by self-doubt at that moment.

I used to think of myself as a competent person. I would not say I am the best, but at the very least, I could escape from one of the most elite fighters even if I could not win. But that’s not the case. I am weak. I am inadequate. I can’t even win against three thugs. I am disgusted by myself. I do not even qualify as an assassin.

But Hadley did not know she should not be blaming herself for losing to Zeke and the others.

Hadley could never imagine herself to be facing the Great Marshal and his proteges instead of some random thugs on the streets.

It would be a miracle if she had gained the upper hand in the battle.

Hadley quickly recollected her thoughts. She began planning on her next move.

The first rule of being an assassin: If the chances of escaping the situation alive are lesser than 70%, then the assassin should perish together with the enemy. Otherwise, the assassin should commit suicide by consuming poison.
