Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 534

The reporters got nervous instantly and pointed out, “Mr. Terence, that is not right. We did as you asked and shared the news. The truth being exposed is not our fault. It’s yours.”

Mr. Terence then replied, “I can bank in the remaining fund if you do me a favor.”

“Just tell us what to do,” said the reporters.

Mr. Terence instructed, “You cannot retract this fake news and cannot let Linton Group to clarify the situation.”

“If this news trends for over ten days, I will bank in every penny that I’ve promised you.”

If that news lasted for ten days, everyone would assume that it was real even if it weren’t.

The reporters pondered about it for a while, in the end, they nodded and agreed to the terms. “No problem, we can do that,” stated one reporter.

After settling the matter, the reporters returned to their respective homes.

Gordon, however, returned to the hospital with the recorded evidence on his phone. He needed to hand in his assignment to Zeke.

Inside the patient’s room, Adam had already fallen asleep, and Daniel was sitting beside his bed.

When Zeke entered the room, Daniel stood up quickly.

Daniel wanted to thank Zeke, but the former wasn’t good with words. In the end, a thousand thankful words were condensed into a single sentence, “Zeke, I will be a full-time babysitter for your kids.”

Lacey blushed and said, “Dad, what are you talking about?”

Zeke grinned and replied, “You don’t need to thank me, dad. You are the one who brought grandpa back from the brink of death, and you should be thankful to your own medical skill.”

Daniel grinned and pointed out, “Zeke, you may be able to fool everyone else, but you can’t fool me.”

“You’re the one that performed the miracle and brought him back to life, and I was nothing more than an opportunist who rode on your coattails.”

“Tell me how you revived your grandpa, Zeke.”

Zeke answered, “It’s simple. I gave grandpa the life-preserving needles on the day before.”

“This technique can prolong a man’s life by one day as long as the man isn’t beheaded or had his blood drained.”

“Grandpa simply had an allergic reaction, so it saved his life.”

Lacey chimed in and inquired, “Zeke, what was the plant you gave my dad? I noticed that my grandpa looked a lot better after taking it.”

Zeke clarified, “That’s the Rhodiola Rosea, it’s an herb that can cure all poison. It neutralized the content of the amoxicillin, so naturally, grandpa was a lot better after taking it.”

Realization hit everyone.

They didn’t know how precious the Rhodiola Rosea was, though, and assumed that it was just a normal herb.

Daniel stared intently at Zeke and asked, “Zeke, tell me the truth. What’s the relationship between you and the Great Marshal?”

Zeke was inexplicably nervous when he heard that question. “Darn it! How did he figure it out?”

Lacey and Hannah, however, were both speechless.

“Seriously, honey, has your mind gone rusty? How could Zeke possibly know the Great Marshal?”

“Right? This husband of mine is so arrogant that if he actually knows the Great Marshal, he would’ve been flaunting all day long.”

Daniel then clarified, “You girls don’t know about it, but the Ammo Needle is the best acupuncture technique in all of Eurasia and was created by the Great Marshal himself.”

“Only a handful of the Great Marshal’s relatives and disciples know how to perform those acupuncture techniques. How could Zeke have learned those techniques if he doesn’t know the Great Marshal?”

After hearing that, both Lacey and Hannah turned serious.

Lacey looked troubled when she turned to Zeke and asked, “Zeke, h-how do you know the Great Marshal?”

“Anyone who has any connection with the Great Marshal has to be pretty powerful. Why are you in a small city like Oakheart City? D-do you have an ulterior motive for staying by my side?”
