Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 828

The Walters let out a collective gasp.

Everyone was too afraid to entertain the idea of Zeke being more than met the eye.

The lieutenant handed Wolf’s Greed a military shoulder badge, which Wolf’s Greed carefully received before walking toward the shrine.

“Attention, Hunting Wolf!” Wolf’s Greed’s voice boomed through space.

Hunting Wolf?

Who’s Hunting Wolf?

Zeke offered a warm smile towards Sage. “Sage, what are you waiting for? Come on over with your brother’s tablet.”

“My brother is Hunting Wolf!” Sage exclaimed in surprise before quickly picking up the tablet from the servant’s altar.

Wolf’s Greed’s voice was commanding and powerful as he spoke, “Hunting Wolf has fought bravely to protect the country. The Great Marshal has decided to confer the rank of general upon Hunting Wolf.”

“My fellow comrade, Hunting Wolf, please accept your badge.”

Wolf’s Greed carefully hung the badge on Hunting Wolf’s tablet.

On the badge were three dazzling stars that shone brightly.

Outside, thousands of soldiers began chanting in unison, “For Eurasia! For General Hunting Wolf!”

Their voices were so loud that even the ground shook beneath their feet.

The Walters family were more shaken than anyone or anything else.

Thunderbolts struck them one after another, leaving their minds in shambles.

General.

That deserter, is now a general.

One who carries three stars!

The title of general was countless grades higher than that of a martyr and held much more merit.

Generals were the pride of the country; insulting them would be like insulting God Himself!

However, they had actually intended to place a general’s memorial tablet on a servant’s altar. This act was punishable by death!

They could be beheaded!

Wolf’s Greed admonished all of the Walters, “Don’t you know you should kneel before a general?”

Thud! Thud!

Every single one of the Walters’ legs went limp, and they fell to their knees.

The deserter back then was now someone completely beyond their reach.

Kneeling before him was an honor!

Wolf’s Greed saluted Hunting Wolf, then uttered, “General, rest in peace.”

Sage had already teared up, and those tears were now rolling freely down her cheeks.

She was holding a general in her arms. It was too huge an honor.

Her hands were trembling slightly, and she had almost dropped the tablet a few times.

Sage finally snapped out of her daze when Zeke called out to her once more.

She instinctively wanted to place the memorial tablet back to its original spot at the servant’s altar.

“Wait a minute,” Wolf’s Greed stopped Sage. “Hunting Wolf is a general. His place shouldn’t be with the servants.”

“My... My uncle was the one who arranged this spot for my brother,” Sage blurted out.

Wolf’s Greed’s pupils contracted with rage. “Who is this uncle of yours? Tell him to come out.”

Peter became frantic.

He had disrespected a general, and it was an unforgivable sin.

He shot up into a standing position and pleaded, “General, please, let me explain...”

Smack!

Without a word, Wolf’s Greed backhanded Peter.

Smack!

Without a word, Wolf’s Greed backhanded Peter.

The force of it sent Peter falling to the ground. “Insulting a general is punishable by death!”

“Yes, yes. I deserve to die!”

Peter started slapping himself until his face became red and swollen. He then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his ancestors.

“Ancestors, Fred is the pride of the Walters. He has brought honor to the family!”

“Fred has the rank of a general. He’s the Walters greatest treasure. His accomplishments are unprecedented. Fred deserves to be laid to rest at the most respected spot!”

With that, he carefully took Hunting Wolf’s tablet and placed it on the highest spot.

Peter then knelt again and kowtowed repeatedly.

Every Walters family member followed his lead. It was hard to tell if they were atoning for their sins or paying their respects from the bottom of their hearts.

Zeke glanced at Wolf’s Greed with a hint of amusement lining his eyes. “General Wolf’s Greed, someone called you and Hunting Wolf dogs just now. What are you going to do about it?”

What!

Wolf’s Greed was beside himself with rage. “Who dared insult us?”

Zeke cast his gaze at Joseph.

Joseph was already beyond petrified, almost soiling his pants from the fear coursing through him.

Before this, he had intended to put General Hunting Wolf’s tablet into a black plastic bag.

He had also encouraged the Walters to use the matter with Hunting Wolf’s tablet to threaten Zeke Williams.

He had literally signed his own death warrant.
