Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 590

John replied, “It’s good to be vigilant, but if we are going to work together, we will need to trust each other. Do you take spicy food?”

“Sometimes,” replied Harry after deliberating for a while.

John scooped some chili and put it into Harry’s bowl and mixed it. After that, he got some of the latter’s ramen and put it in his own bowl.

Harry only relaxed after he watched John swallow the ramen that came from his bowl.

In order to show his trust, Harry started chowing down too.

However, he didn’t notice that when John got some ramen from his bowl, the latter’s thumb flicked ever so slightly.

A black pill, so small that was undetectable by the human eye, had slipped out of John’s thumb and landed in Harry’s bowl.

At that moment, Harry had swallowed the black pill.

After finishing their meals, John finally started talking business. “Harry, you know who Logan Hugh is, don’t you?”

Harry quickly nodded. “Yes. He is the staff officer of the Provincial Military District, and he used to be the major shareholder of Reagan Pharmaceutical.”

“However, he was suspected of working together with a murderer and apprehended. His shares had since been transferred to Zeke Williams.”

“Both he and Wilson Wood are currently locked in the same prison.”

“I’m glad you know about it,” said John, nodding slightly

He took three small bronze wind chimes out. They were only about the size of a palm, delicate and beautiful.

They rang up with a melodious tune when they shook.

John handed those wind chimes to Harry and instructed, “Go visit Wilson Wood, Harvey Hoffman, and Logan Hugh in prison today. Hand them the wind chimes and tell them to place these by the window of their cells at midnight.

My rescue party will be there, and they will need the wind chimes to locate the right cells.”

Harry seemed troubled and said, “John, that might be a little difficult. Food is the only thing we can bring to prison. Everything else is forbidden, and that is especially true for metallic objects.”

John grinned and hung a wind chime on Harry’s outfit before suggesting, “This is just a decorative on your clothes, so it is not a forbidden item.”

Harry smiled and gave John a thumbs up. “That is brilliant. By the way, you said you will let me replace Wilson Wood.”

John sighed deeply and replied, “Wilson and the others will be wanted men once we break them out of jail. They can no longer show their faces in public. I can’t have outsiders take over their prominent positions, which are extremely useful to me. As Wilson’s driver, you are most familiar with his daily work routine; you are the best candidate to replace him as the municipal secretary.”

Harry was touched. “Thank you for your help, John. From now on, I will follow you wherever you lead.”

Harry left immediately to prepare for his visit to the prison in Oakheart City.

He had just exited the restaurant when the owner of the ramen restaurant walked in. “Is everything prepped, John?”

“Yeah. We need only to wait for the last piece of the puzzle to come.”

He walked to the window and looked up at the dark sky before commenting, “Hopefully, the tornado will hit the city as predicted by the weather forecast.

Wilson, Harvey and Logan, it’s not that I don’t want to rescue you. All three of you failed to protect the drug production base even after teaming up. That caused our employer to lose a lot of money. Useless people like you must die. Your deaths will turn that investigation into a dead end and protect our boss. Jeffrey won’t be able to find anything through you.”

The owner of the ramen restaurant sighed and reminded, “John, you should know that their deaths might not end the investigation. Don’t forget about Logan’s son, Jacob. He’s also one of the boss’ subordinates, but we could not find him even after spending so much time.”

John felt a headache coming, and he massaged his temple. “That ba****d can really hide. Keep looking. We must find him and kill him!”
