Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 621

“Yeah, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone saying that Jeffrey was sick.”

“I’m the president of Clearview General Hospital. Jeffrey came to my house for a checkup the other day, and he was totally fine.”

“Hmm, could Mance be right? Is this fellow trying to fool Jeffrey?”

“Damn it! If that was true, then it’d be unforgivable.”

Nancy snorted, “Are you guys finally seeing his true colors? He’s a sly fox masquerading as a tiger, lying to everyone around him.”

The others cast a puzzled look at Zeke Williams.

Zeke replied nonchalantly, “You guys are just deceiving yourselves.”

To this, Mance replied, “For what it’s worth, what could you do even if you do know Jeffrey?”

“Guys, truth to be told, Jeffrey is not the VIP of today’s cocktail party. I’ve invited another guest who is way above the totem pole compared to Jeffrey.”

What?

The others were taken aback with surprise.

Way more significant than Jeffrey? He must be some kind of big shot then?

At the very least, he must be some kingpin of the city, right?

The others were quite curious about the identity of the VIP, so they asked Mance, “Mr. Raider, don’t keep us guessing further. Why don’t you just let us know who’s the VIP you’ve invited here tonight?”

Mance merely smiled, “Do you guys know about General North?”

The others nodded in reply, “General North? Who in Eurasia doesn’t know him?”

“Yes, he’s one of the four Gods of War in Eurasia, as well as the second defender of Eurasia.”

“I heard that he’s the disciple of the Great Marshal as well.”

“Mr. Raider, why did you suddenly mention General North? Could it be that...”

Mance did not beat around the bush further, “That’s right. The VIP I’ve invited is none other than the General North himself.”

“I invited him yesterday and he said he would attend the cocktail party tonight.”

“However, it’s such a pity that he had an emergency mission today and had to go to Riverdale District. I don’t think he could make it back in time, though.”

The others went abuzz at the revelation.

Unbelievable!

Mance Raider has connections to the General!

So what if Zeke Williams knows Jeffrey? Jeffrey is nobody compared to General North.

It looks like Mance is truly the chosen one.

Everyone then started to butter up to Mance.

Nancy cast a taunting gaze at Zeke. “Hah! Now it’s crystal clear that Mance is indeed the chosen one. He’s the type to shine bright. You’re nothing more than a shattered piece of glass. Even if you are glowing, you are merely reflecting the light of others. It’s best that you know your place as a kept man. Don’t try to get into someone else’s limelight.”

Zeke could only smile bitterly to himself. These people are truly fence-sitters, bending with the wind.

He did not keep quiet and retorted, “To my knowledge, the General North is not out for any emergency mission. He has been in Oakheart City all this while.”

Mance cast a dubious look at Mance and snorted, “Hah. You’re only a kept man. How would you know the whereabouts of the General? Moreover, emergency missions are highly confidential information. I don’t think even Jeffrey knows, let alone someone like you. You’re clearly talking nonsense.”

The others also looked down upon Zeke. They thought that he was bluffing and was just trying to be the center of attention again.

Zeke did not say anything further; he merely sent the General North a text.

Please come to the Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce. I’m being bullied here! One more thing, bring more people with you!

The General North, Sole Wolf, burned with fury at the sight of the text.

Damn it! How dare they bully the Great Marshal!
