Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 700

Zeke sighed in relief, “Oh, it’s fine. I’ve seen scenes like this. Missing these once or twice will be fine.”

Zeke thought to himself, Can this even be called a battle?

The real battle was at Northern Xinjiang, where we had to fight for our lives. It was way more intense than this one.

Zeke urged, “Lacey, let’s go.”

Lacey shook her head.

“Not yet. We haven’t thanked Master Williams yet.”

Zeke fell silent.

I’m afraid you won’t be able to find him.

Without any other options, Zeke messaged Eclipse: [Eclipse, come and tell everyone that Master Williams has left.]

Soon, Eclipse reached his location.

When the crowd saw Eclipse, they went wild. The sounds of their applause were louder than the thunder.

This was the master, the hero, and the peacekeeper of Rivermouth!

He was the pride of Rivermouth.

Naturally, everyone was supportive of him.

Not a fan of glory like this, Eclipse waved his hand and said, “Alright. The enemies have retreated, and Rivermouth is safe. You can all go back home. Master Williams and the nameless hero he has brought with him have left the place.”

His words dampened the crowd’s spirits.

They were in disbelief that they could not get a glimpse of Master Williams himself; none had a photo of his face.

Eclipse continued, “Master Williams told me to tell you something. As long as you do your job, you can leave the peacekeeping to us. From now on, we welcome investors and contributors to Rivermouth with open arms. However, those who are here to stir up trouble will be our enemies. We won’t forgive each and every one of them.”

The crowd erupted.

“Long live Master Williams!”

“Long live Eclipse!”

“Long live the nameless hero!”

The corner of Zeke’s lips twitched.

When the hell did I say this?

Eclipse is using my name to pretend to be cool.

What a sly fox.

Lacey sighed, “What a pity we couldn’t thank Master Williams in person. But I’m sure someone like him wouldn’t care if we thank him or not. Zeke, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

With Lacey’s arm around Zeke’s, they left.

Outside the seating area, Franklin was beaten up by members of the Martial Arts Association as they assumed he had created fake tickets.

Just as he had a moment of respite, he saw Zeke and Lacey walking past him arm-in-arm.

“You b*stard! Williams, you just f*cking wait. I’ll never forgive you. Are you still thinking of working with Grand Empire Group? Ha! Don’t even think of entering the Eastend market!”

Grand Empire Group was one of the top companies in Eastend. For Zeke to work with them, he would have to enter the Eastend market.

If he could not, the partnering would not happen.

...

If Barnaby’s incident had revealed the presence of Master Williams, then this battle had made Master Williams’ reputation grow exponentially.

The Martial Arts Association had made a new ranking of masters in Eurasia.

Master Williams had leaped from an unknown figure to the top three.

He was only a rank below Mr. Quin from Eastend and Drake from the Northwest Region.

That did not mean that Master Williams was weaker than them.

It was because Mr. Quin and Drake rarely showed themselves, so no one knew their true capabilities. Naturally, it would be impossible to compare them.

The rankings were a representation of their reputation.

As a newly instilled master, Master Williams was not as reputable as the other two.

John led his defeated men and escaped to Eastend. Only then did they stop.
