Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 702

Eclipse and Hades were shocked.

It turned out that Master Williams was very ambitious. He had been eyeing Eastend for quite some time already!

“Mr. Williams, please heed my advice. Eastend isn’t an easy land to conquer.” Hades cautiously surmised.

“Mr. Quin is the one ruling over Eastend, and his family has never fallen, even for over hundreds of years, which goes to show how strong their foundation is. Besides, Mr. Quin himself is the second most powerful master in Eurasia, meaning that he’s a few rankings higher than you. He’s immensely powerful, and not someone who should be trifled with.”

Zeke was slightly infuriated when he heard this. “Oh? His ranking is higher than mine? All the more reason for me to go there and meet him.”

Eclipse and Hades were both speechless.

They would just be wasting their breaths, trying to warn him.

At a construction site in Eastend, front-line workers were working overtime beneath the scorching sun.

This was a project collaboration between Linton Group and Grand Empire Group, and these workers were sent by Linton Group.

In an air-conditioned office at the construction site, Franklin Jackman and a bald man were seated leisurely as they enjoyed the cool air, sipping on their ice lemon tea.

Franklin and the bald man were supervisors sent by the Grand Empire Group.

Although Franklin had been kicked out of the Martial Arts Association, he was still allowed to keep his position in the Grand Empire Group.

He watched the workers on the construction site with a scornful expression. “A bunch of rabbles. You all deserve to die, working for Linton Group. If I could succeed in forming a collaboration between Linton Group and the Grand Empire Group, then I sure as hell can break it up.”

Then, he looked at the bald man. “Kev, my legs have gone numb from sitting for so long. Shall we get up and move around for a bit?”

Even now, Franklin was oblivious of the fact that the Grand Empire Group was Zeke’s property.

The bald man sitting opposite him, Kevin Stewart, smiled and questioned, “Frank, this is the seventh time you’re stopping construction. Just how much do you hate Linton Group? “

Franklin gritted his teeth and muttered, “Imagine someone stealing your wife; that’s how much I hate them. Do you still think I’m going overboard by stopping construction?”

“Well, if that’s the case, even an execution wouldn’t be too much,” Kevin replied. “Let’s go and stretch our legs for a bit then!”

Both of them headed to the construction site, and Franklin kicked over a wall that the workers had just started building. “The f***? What kind of shitty construction work is this? It crumbled with a mere kick. Tear the bricks apart and rebuild it!”

The workers’ faces paled with anger.

This was the seventh time that the supervisors from the Grand Empire Group had asked them to demolish and rebuild.

Even though they had been working overtime over the span of the past three days, doing so from day to night, the project construction had barely made any progress!

The team leader was p***** and argued, “Mr. Jackman, this wall was just built, and the cement hasn’t even dried yet. So, of course, it would fall over with one kick.”

Slap!

Unexpectedly, Franklin slapped the team leader without hesitation. “F***! Do you dare to talk back to me? If I say that the quality isn’t up to standard, then it isn’t up to standard! If you disagree, get out of the construction site! Now, demolish and rebuild! When I return after half an hour, I hope that I won’t have to see this kind of half-assed construction again!”

Thereafter, Franklin and Kevin walked away laughing.

The workers quickly helped their leader up. “Sir, are you alright?”

The leader spat out a tooth and some blood.

Franklin was a martial artist. The force of his backhanded slap was so large that he had broken one of the leader’s teeth.

The leader was purple with rage and gritted out, “I think that the two of them are deliberately making things difficult for us. We can’t go on like this. We won’t be able to make any progress. The moment we’ve built it, those two will only return to bring it down once again. It’s a vicious cycle.”

He frowned and murmured, “We don’t have a choice. We have to call Madam Hinton.”

“Yes, Sir!” One of the workers immediately took out his phone and contacted Lacey.

When Lacey received a call from her workers, her temples began to throb, with the onset of a headache.

Their collaboration with the Grand Empire Group was their first step in expanding beyond Rivermouth, so she took this project very seriously. Hence, she had sent her most elite team to be in charge of the construction.

However, Franklin had rejected their construction work seven times in total, even going as far as to hit one of her workers.

Franklin himself had also called her earlier, using his position as supervisor from the Grand Empire Group to threaten her. He argued, announcing that if the quality of their work had continued to be substandard, he would terminate the contract with Linton Group, on behalf of the Grand Empire Group, and she would need to pay for the liquidated damages.
