Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 573

“Call the police. Call the police right now,” Jacob said through gritted teeth.

“Hey, Zeke. You better pray that you didn’t leave any trace behind.”

“Otherwise, if I find even half of a clue, I’ll make sure you’ll rot in prison.”

Zeke merely laughed out loud at that.

“What the hell are you laughing at?” Jacob asked coldly.

“Do you really think this will be a big problem to me?”

“Let me tell you something. Caleb is my cousin. Do you really think that he’ll censure me just for two billion?”

Caleb looked displeased. “Jacob, stop the nonsense and pay the debt right now. I have to report about it as soon as possible.”

Jacob took a deep breath. “As you can see, I’m in a difficult position right now, Caleb. I may not be able to pay for it for a while. Please give me a few days more.”

“Sigh. I can grant you that if the money was mine. You can even not repay me. But the money belongs to Chase Bank. I have no say in this,” Caleb uttered.

“So please pay it right now.”

“Caleb, we’re family. Please help me think of ways to intercede with the higher-ups,” Jacob pleaded.

“Even siblings settle accounts with each other, never mind cousins. Pay it right now!”

Jacob was a bit nervous now.

What is going on?

Why is he suddenly acting so cold towards me and hassling me about the debts? Could it be...

A terrifying thought crept into his mind.

He forced out a calm front and said, “Caleb, let’s talk privately.”

“Less talking and pay the debt right now!” Caleb demanded impatiently. “If you don’t, I may have to notify Chase Bank to issue a Storm Order against you.”

With that, Caleb took out his phone to call Chase Bank.

What the hell! Storm Order?!

Jacob trembled wildly as if he was struck by lightning.

If the bank really issued him the Storm Order, he would undoubtedly die.

From ancient times until now, everyone who was issued the said order had all died!

No one survived. Not even the royals and noblemen!

He’s forcing me to pay even if it means death! He’s betraying me!

He hurriedly pleaded, “Caleb, let’s talk things out first. Please don’t issue me the Storm Order.”

“Stop with the bullshit! Only money can save you now,” Caleb uttered strictly.

Jacob’s face turned as pale as a ghost’s.

But all my money has been stolen! Where can I find 2.5 billion now?

At this moment, Zeke, who has been remaining silent at the side voiced out suddenly, “Caleb, I don’t think that this is a good idea. You guys are blood-related, after all. It’d be too cruel to force your family to death.”

“How about I give you a chance, Jacob?”

“Return the equity to me. Let me become the company’s boss and I’ll bear this debt.”

Jacob shot daggers at him and he wished that he could rip him apart.

No wonder he easily handed me the equity earlier. He has been waiting for this moment.

“Fine. I’ll return the fifty-percent shares to you,” he stated.

Zeke shook his head. “It seems like you’ve misinterpreted my words. I’m not asking back for my fifty-percent, I am asking for all of it.”

“In your dreams,” Jacob blurted out.

“Issue the Storm Order then,” Zeke responded.

“Wait,” Jacob quickly said, “Sixty-percent. I’ll give you sixty-percent.”

“Huh. Do I really need to repeat myself? I want one-hundred percent.”

Jacob gritted his teeth. “Seventy-percent. This is my last offer.”

“Then let’s just go with the Storm Order.”
