Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 745

A boss who would choose to sacrifice the company’s profits for the sake of his employees’ well-being was someone worth sticking around for.

Jessie didn’t go to the hospital in the end.

Her face was only slightly swollen. She would be seen as melodramatic if she went to the hospital to treat a tiny injury.

Zeke summoned Jessie into his office and queried, “Do you know the identities of the people who came here to cause trouble?”

Jessie nodded solemnly. “Yes. It was Eleven from the Thirteen Guardians.”

Upon seeing the clueless look on Zeke’s face, she elaborated, “The Thirteen Guardians are basically killer machines under Reuben Mack’s command. They are very well-known in Eastend.”

Zeke wore an unimpressed look and asked, “Reuben Mack? Never heard of him. Is he related to Mr. Quin in any way?”

“Yes. Reuben Mack is one of the three generals working for Mr. Quin. His domain is ‘power’. His position is on par with Gavin Zachary’s and Sim Owens’.” Jessie answered.

Following Jessie’s detailed explanation, Zeke nodded. “Got it. You can get back to work now.”

Before she left, Zeke remembered something. “By the way, give me a report on the number of injured and their respective conditions as soon as you can.”

With a nod, Jessie turned and left.

Zeke drummed his fingers on his desk. The crisp tapping sounds were an ominous sign of what was to come.

“The Thirteen Guardians, huh? Before me, you’re thirteen pests at best.”

He began coming up with a course of action. “These thirteen pests are too scattered, so I can’t take them down all at once. This means I have to find backup... But there’s hardly anyone I can count on in Eastend. Now that the passage connecting Rivermouth and Eastend has been blocked, it’d be impossible to mobilize people over from there.”

Of course, Twelve and his men who sealed off the border had not been able to escape Zeke’s eyes.

He just had not been bothered by them.

After much deliberation, Zeke finally thought of a force he could enlist help from. It was the Necromancer Assassin Organization that Hadley Murphy was affiliated with!

The Necromancer Assassin Organization was the third-largest force in Eastend. Defeating the Thirteen Guardians would be easy for them.

With that thought in mind, he immediately called Hadley. “Hadley, come to Grand Empire Group in Eastend. I have a new mission for you.”

Hadley sighed, “You should stop causing trouble in Eastend. That’s where our Necromancer Assassin Organization is based. The Young Matriarch has already told me about your love-hate relationship with my leader. Isn’t it because of your guilt towards my leader that you’re scared to let her know you’re still alive?”

When Zeke didn’t answer, Hadley continued. “If you create too big of a ruckus here and my leader finds out, she might kill the heartless man you are in a fit of rage...”

“Hadley, do you know why my master could live for over a hundred years?” Zeke interrupted her.

Hadley was bewildered. “Why?”

“Because my master was never a nosey parker,” Zeke replied in a deadpan voice.

Hadley snapped, “Oh, f*** off!”

Zeke hesitated for a moment before deciding to check up on Mia.

He called her, saying, “Mia, cooperate with Linton Group on the promotional video shooting for this period of time, and don’t come to Eastend. Mr. Quin is making his move again, so it’s not safe for you here.”

Mia bowed her head and remained silent as remorse lined her features.

Sigh. I thought that by aligning myself with Grand Empire Group, my worries would all be vanquished.

But now, it seems like all of that was wishful thinking.

During this period of time, she had specifically inquired about Zeke and later found that he barely had any influence in Rivermouth.

She didn’t even know if he had any power or influence in Eastend.

But whatever amount of power he had was definitely not worth mentioning before Mr. Quin.

She knew for certain that Zeke couldn’t protect her and that she might even end up dragging him and Linton Group down with her because of this.

After a long bout of contemplation, Mia dismissed Zeke’s orders, hopped into her car and sped towards Eastend.
