Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 651

Zeke got a little mad. “Dawnie, stop saying such foolish words and make me angry.”

All of a sudden, Dawn broke down in tears.

Zeke, you’ve finally rescued a damsel in distress. I don’t care if I’m going to die. It’ll be an honor to die with you, Zeke.

Sam grabbed a bench beside him and was ready to attack Zeke if he dared to retaliate.

Just when Douglas was about to take Zeke down, someone suddenly broke the door of Castaneda’s residence.

A group of armed individuals barged into the building, and the person leading the group was Shannon.

She lived in the military base that was just a street away. Hence, she was able to get here in just a short time.

The moment Shannon saw Zeke surrounded by a group of people, she yelled in anger, “Stop it!”

Shannon’s sudden appearance sent shivers down Douglas’ spine.

Damn it, what is she doing here?

Shannon was United Front Work Department’s deputy director, and the Armed Unit reported directly to this department.

In other words, Shannon was Douglas’ superior.

Douglas immediately went up and greeted, “Director Hans, what brings you here?”

Up to this point, Douglas had yet to associate Shannon with ‘Hans The Fool’.

Who on earth dared to call Shannon ‘Hans The Fool’?

Shannon said in a cold voice, “Douglas, I didn’t receive your request to conduct this operation. Did you initiate all this behind the department’s back?”

Douglas explained, “Please listen to me, Director Hans. I’m actually here to attend a wedding. Then an accident happened. This fellow injured someone in public. At that critical moment, I had no choice but to act first and report to you later.”

Shannon continued to say in a cold tone, “I’ll investigate this case.”

She then walked to Zeke and asked, “Mr. Williams, what is going on?”

What?!

Everyone’s jaws dropped.

Shannon knew who Zeke was and even addressed him as Mr. Williams!

Oh, crap. So ‘Hans The Fool’, which Zeke referred to earlier, was actually Shannon?

He must be someone authoritative who had the guts to call her a fool!

Also, he probably held more power than Shannon!

This man was not only powerful in Oakheart City. Apparently, he was just as influential in East Skuld!

This time, they had truly played with fire.

Zeke did not have the energy to explain to Shannon. “Detain Douglas and interrogate him!”

Douglas panicked. “W-Who are you to arrest me? My only mistake is that I violated the protocol. I’ll reflect on the mistake I made...”

Zeke replied, “How about the unauthorized recruitment of armies? I certainly can charge you in court for this.”

It was obvious that Douglas was working for Mance, and Mance had been recruiting armies illegally. One way or another, Douglas could never wash his hands of it.

Douglas’ face turned pale.

Damn it. He had always communicated with Scorpio in private. Besides Mance, no one else knew what happened under the table.

How did this Zeke manage to get this intel?

He swallowed the fluid lodged in his throat and defended himself, “Nonsense. Don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do. I’m a military officer, and I’ll never be in cahoots with Scorpio.”

Zeke sighed, “With your level of intelligence, I’m surprised you managed to get to where you are today. I didn’t mention anything about Scorpio. Yet, you blurted out this name out of nowhere!”

Douglas broke down right away. His nerves got the best of him, and he accidentally gave himself away.

Upon hearing that, fury surged through Shannon.

A military officer engaging in unauthorized recruitment of armies deserved the harshest punishment!

She gritted her teeth. “Detain Douglas!”
