Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 757

Ever since this little squad of assassins had been assembled, they had not been sent on any mission.

This was because there wasn’t any target worthy of being assassinated by them.

Thus, Zeke was going to be the squad’s very first assassination!

The call went through really quickly.

“Good morning, Mr. Quin,” Sim greeted him.

“Owens, how many people in your assassin squad are in Eastend?” Mr. Quin asked.

“The captain, Haros, and the vice-captain, Charon, are both in Eastend,” Sim replied.

“All the other members are scattered over the country helping you expand your territory.”

Mr. Quin felt much more at ease all of a sudden.

The Ferrymen of the Dead were the two strongest assassins in the squad.

A combined attack from both of them would be more than enough to take out Zeke.

“Tell the Ferrymen of the Dead to come and look for me,” Mr. Quin instructed, “I’ve got an important mission for them.”

Sim gasped, “You want the two of them on the same mission? Who on earth is the target?”

“Even a Master wouldn’t be able to take on the both of them together.”

“The target isn’t a Master,” Mr. Quin grimaced, “Unfortunately, he poses a bigger threat to us than a Master.”

“Understood,” Sim replied, “I’ll make the necessary arrangements right now.”

......

After news that the Ferrymen of the Dead were going after Zeke Williams broke out, Eastend’s underworld forces calmed down significantly.

All the mayhem and chaos here in Eastend had been singlehandedly caused by Zeke.

If he were killed by the Ferrymen of the Dead, things would naturally go back to the way they were before.

However, whether the Ferrymen of the Dead could perform their duty and kill Zeke was never a question that had even crossed their minds.

The Ferrymen of the Dead’s reputation was certainly no less illustrious than Mr. Quin’s.

This was because their prowess rivalled that of a Master’s.

In fact, a major media outlet even described them as ‘Eurasia’s 11th Master’ and ‘Unparalleled Among All Beneath The Master Rank’.

Unless Zeke was a Master himself or he would be dead meat.

And was Zeke a Master? He most certainly wasn’t!

Otherwise, why was his name not among the ranking for Master?

The streets and open areas around the Grand Empire Group were packed like sardines.

All the people here wanted to witness for themselves this historic moment where the Ferrymen of the Dead killed Zeke.

......

Hadley brought a team of assassins along with her and camped outside Grand Empire Group.

Nevertheless, this had up Zeke. “Hey, are you out of your mind? This is a legitimate business I’m running. How would it look if a bunch of shady people camped at my doorstep all day?”

Hadley rolled her eyes at him. “Classic example of biting the hand that feeds you!”

“Since when did you bite my hand? And I’m not feeding you either,” Zeke replied.

“I’ll f***ing...” Hadley nearly had a fit.

Not only did he tie the knot with a gorgeous woman, but he’s got such a sharp tongue as well! I haven’t even won any of our arguments yet! This is so unfair!

“Well, don’t you know why we’re camping out here?” Hadley huffed.

“The Ferrymen of the Dead are out there to get you.”

“The Leader has said that you are not to die at the hands of the Ferrymen of the Dead. Only by killing you herself will she be able to fulfill her urge for revenge.”

“Why didn’t she come to see me?” Zeke sighed exasperatedly.

A dejected expression flashed across her face all of a sudden. “She has missed you over the years. And it’s taken quite a toll on her mental state.”

“She said that she needed some time to get back in the right frame of mind. That way, it’ll be much easier when she kills you.”

“But I think she wants you to see her at her best... It’s the first time you two have met again in a really long time. She wants to leave a good impression.”

“And that is what baffles me. What’s so great about men? They’re filthy and they smell. Now, look at women! They smell good, they’re soft and their voices sound really nice...”

“Haha,” Zeke scoffed, “If everybody were to think like you, humans would have gone into extinction a long time ago.”

“Alright, you guys can go back now. The Ferrymen of the Dead certainly are no match for me! I don’t need you guys to protect me!”
