Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 790

Lone Wolf consoled him, “Zeke, this piece of news hasn’t been confirmed. I’m not sure how true it is.”

“Take good care of Hunting Wolf’s sister for me. I’ll protect her for the rest of my life,” He added.

Sole Wolf panicked, “Lone Wolf, how can you steal the one I love from me? Hunting Wolf has approved of me to be his sister’s husband!”

A faint bitter smile was on Lone Wolf’s face. “I knew he wasn’t going to hand his sister to me easily. We’ll have to have a fair fight over her.”

Sole Wolf agreed, “A fair fight.”

Lone Wolf responded, “Deal.”

Sole Wolf nodded in the direction of the river. “Hunting Wolf, rest in peace. I will never forgive the ones that had a hand in your death. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of your sister.”

He turned and returned to the car, not wanting Zeke to see the tears in his eyes.

Zeke had told him in the past that only women cried.

Yet, he did not realize that even the Great Marshal’s eyes were damp.

Octagon Row used to be a popular red-light district in Atheville.

After a revolution, however, the place had ended up becoming a slum.

Trey Alley in Octagon Row was only three inches wide; it was the worst area within the slum.

Zeke felt guilty. How could a brave soldier live in a place like this with his family? It’s my fault.

He soon found the fourth house in Trey Alley.

The house was in disrepair. It looked as if it could collapse at any time.

Sole Wolf gently knocked on the door.

“Is anyone home?”

There came no reply.


There came no reply.

Sole Wolf knocked again, but there was still no reply.

“Who are you?” A middle-aged woman who was passing by asked.

Zeke answered her, “We’re Frederick’s battle comrades. We’ve come to visit his family.”

The woman scoffed in disdain, “I didn’t know deserters had friends. How funny.”

What?

Both Zeke and Sole Wolf froze.

Deserters?

Someone was calling the man who had bathed in the blood of the enemies as he bravely fought the battles for his people a deserter.

It was a sentences that was humiliating him.

Sole Wolf fumed, “Preposterous! My friend protected his nation! He’s a good soldier. How can you accuse him of being a deserter? You must be seeking death!”

The woman sneered, “Everyone in Octagon Row knows that Frederick is an infamous deserter. I won’t believe any words of yours.”

Asshole!

Anger was shooting out of Sole Wolf’s eyes, and if looks could kill, the woman would have already been dead.

Fortunately, Zeke hurriedly stopped Sole Wolf. “Where’s his family? Why isn’t there anyone at home?”

The woman answered, “Sage is having her wedding at Paradise Hotel today. If you hurry, you might be able to attend it.”

The light in Sole Wolf’s eyes dimmed.

I’m too late. Sage is marrying someone else.

“Let’s go.” Zeke led Sole Wolf away from the house.

“Sole Wolf,” He repeated.

“Okay.”

“She’s marrying. We should be happy for her.”



“Yes, of course. As long as she’s happy, I’m happy... But Lone Wolf might be crying under his blankets if he learns about this.”

“Yes. Give the Central Military District a call and get them to prepare a wedding gift. We have to make sure not to embarrass her with a cheap gift.”

“Of course.”

“Also, will you take the fact that our brother-in-arms is called a deserter by others silently?”

“As if. I’ll punch whoever calls him a deserter,” Sole Wolf snarled.

“Let’s clear his name on the day of his sister’s wedding.”

“We have to!”

Soon, the two reached Paradise Hotel.

Paradise Hotel was a five-star hotel with a luxurious interior. It looked as if it was a palace.

Zeke smiled, feeling at ease.

It seemed like Sage’s husband was from a prestigious family. Otherwise, they would not hold their wedding here.

He was somewhat worthy of Sage.

The two walked up to the door when they noticed the guards chasing an old married couple out.

“Get lost. This isn’t the place for you to come. Scram! You stink!”

The old married couple was begging them, almost in tears. ”Young man, let us in, please.”

The guard fumed as he took out his baton. “Are you getting lost now? If not, I’ll hit you with this.”

The couple paled at the sight of the baton, but they still courageously said, “Young man, we’re the bride’s parents. Our daughter is marrying today. How can we not attend her wedding and give her our blessings?”
