A few of Wilson’s men walked hesitantly toward Zeke and the others. They were worried that he would retaliate.
Wilson was actually hoping that Zeke would retaliate in front of Mr. Middleton. That way, Zeke would really look like a terrorist.
Mr. Middleton had just caught sight of Zeke Williams.
He hurried over and bowed deeply to Zeke.
Zeke Williams had saved his life before, and Mr. Middleton was prepared to show his gratitude at all times.
Respectfully, he greeted, “Mr. Williams, please follow me outside. This place is extremely dangerous. We should leave it to the police.”
Huh?
The officials who thought they had Zeke Williams in their clutches felt chills down their spine and stopped in their tracks.
Mr. Middleton called him “Mr. Williams”?
He even bowed to Zeke!
Who the hell is this guy? How could he be of a higher status than Mr. Middleton?
We’re in big trouble. Big, big trouble.
Harvey and Wilson glanced at each other. They were at a loss for what to do next.
Sh*t. We’d really messed up this time.
Who have they crossed now?
Things aren’t looking too great.
Susan and the others were surprised as well. They stared on in shock, gaping wide enough to accommodate a whole egg in their mouths.
They had only known of Zeke’s prowess in combat and had just witnessed his moves firsthand.
Only now did they realize that he was legally invincible, too!
Even the mayor was treating him with the utmost respect; he had bowed to Zeke!
Zeke Williams really is unbeatable!
He is effortlessly cool and managed to prove how capable he is without even lifting a finger.
Susan was getting a little short of breath.
Things had moved too quickly and too unexpectedly. Her small, weak heart couldn’t handle it!
Mr. Middleton reached out once again. “Mr. Williams, please follow me.”
However, Zeke Williams sighed and said, “I’m afraid I can’t follow you.”
Mr. Middleton was taken aback by that. “What? Why not?”
Zeke said nonchalantly, “Because I’m the terrorist they’re speaking of.”
Mr. Middleton’s brows furrowed into a deep frown and he glared at Wilson, infuriated. “Secretary Wood, what is going on here? Is Mr. Williams the terrorist you reported?”
Wilson Wood stammered, “M-Mr. Middleton, who is he to you?”
Mr. Middleton was enraged. “Just answer my question! Don’t try to beat around the bush.”
Wilson Wood took in a deep breath.
He had no way out now. All he could do was maintain his stance that Zeke Williams was a terrorist.
“We were simply doing our jobs and Zeke Williams was trying to stop us from doing so. He also attacked one of my men for no reason with extreme measures. That’s why I’m sure that he’s a terrorist.”
Harvey and the others started backing him up as well.
“Yes, Mr. Middleton, we witnessed it ourselves.”
“That’s right! He got in the way of civil matters. He broke Harry’s leg on the spot!”
“That bodyguard’s bone has pierced through his skin! It looks terrifying! How could someone ever do such a thing? Only a terrorist could be so coldblooded.”
Mr. Middleton inhaled sharply when he saw the bodyguard, who was still writhing in pain on the ground.
He did look to be in pretty bad condition.
The bodyguard started wailing. “Mr. Middleton! Please, help me out here! I got injured for t-the country, for our people.”
Mr. Middleton calmed himself down and looked at Zeke. “Mr. Williams, are they telling the truth?”
“They’re spouting bullsh*t,” Zeke Williams said calmly.
Susan quickly corroborated, “Mr. Middleton, we witnessed everything! They’re lying. This is my family’s company, and I just wanted to enter that little room to clear out some things. However, they stopped me and even tried to attack me. That was when Mr. Williams helped me block that bodyguard’s attack. If it weren’t for him, I might not be speaking to you here right now. What Mr. Williams did was an act of self-defense and he shouldn’t be prosecuted for it.”
Wilson Wood was enraged. “What lies! How could someone possibly break another’s femur in the name of self-defense? Only a fool would believe such words.”
Mr. Middleton was starting to get a headache.
That was true. How could someone’s bone have gotten broken from a simple act of self-defense?
That seemed a little unrealistic.
