Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 835

After hanging up on the call, Wolf’s Greed gestured an ‘okay’ sign to Zeke. “It’s done!”

“You both are indeed shameless. I can’t be bothered to fool around with you any longer.” Serena lashed out at them and continued, “We won’t let you dampen our spirits to buy our new house today.”

“James, let us make payment for the villa now.”

James smiled sinisterly. “No hurry. Didn’t he threaten to freeze my assets within a minute? Let us wait for a minute.”

Serena cast a displeased look at him. “Why do you bother about them?”

“I’m playing with a dog.”

“Haha! You are right. We should treat this as you playing with a dog.”

Wolf’s Greed clenched his fists tightly.

He is calling me ‘a dog’ as Joseph Zelly had done previously. It seems like Joseph Zelly will have company in the netherworld!

A minute soon passed.

James passed his credit card over to a sales agent, “One minute is up. Swipe this card.”

“Serena, watch how I will make them eat their words.”

“Yes, you must,” Serena sneered.

The sales agent swiped the credit card before furrowing his brows, “Mr. Jenkins, the limit isn’t enough. Have you given me the wrong card by mistake?”

“Hmm?” James scrutinized the card before replying, “It isn’t possible. This is the right card. Is your card reader spoilt?”

The sales agent nodded hurriedly. “I’m so sorry. The reader is rather old. Maybe it is spoilt.”

With that, she swiped the card again.

But the card limit was still insufficient.

“How’s it possible that its limit is not enough? Has someone made a fraudulent transaction on this card?”

Wolf’s Greed burst into laughter. “Didn’t someone claim to let us eat our words just now? Who’s being humiliated here now?”

Zeke added, “He can’t make us eat our words, so he chooses to embarrass himself instead.”

“This is not funny! I just remembered this card is only a subsidiary card with a limited credit limit. Of course, the limit is not enough to purchase the house as it is way over the usual daily limit. I will make a call to the bank now to request an increase in the credit limit.”

Serena nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes, you are right. Make the call now! Make them eat their words!”

The call was picked up by the bank’s customer service agent quickly.

“Hello, I’m a premium member of your bank. I want to request an increase in credit limit.”

“I’m sorry. Your bank account is frozen. I’m afraid I can’t increase your credit limit for you.”

“What? Why did you freeze my bank account?” James started to panic.

“This is an SSS military order. I’m afraid I can’t tell you the reason.”

James shivered, and his phone fell from his hand to the ground.

Gosh! Why did the military freeze my bank account? I have never even crossed paths with the military before! Was the military order from the two men before me? That’s impossible! That Zeke is an ex-convict! How can someone with a criminal record like him work in the military? Even if he pulls strings to join the military, he can’t be issuing such a high-level executive order like the SSS order! This must be a pure coincidence!

Thus, he whipped out another credit card from his pocket. “I can’t increase the credit limit on that card. Try this one.”

That card was actually meant for him to return his debts to his suppliers. But at that present moment, nothing was more important than saving himself from the embarrassing situation.

With a look of admiration, Serena gushed over James, “You’re indeed so great to be able to buy such a big villa with a mere subsidiary card! It’s a pity that the card had a limited credit limit. I’m sure the principal card has a much higher limit!”

“Of course.” James smiled and passed the card to the sales agent.

The sales agent swiped the card hurriedly.

But the credit limit was also insufficient.

“What... what happened?” James panicked, “Is the credit limit in this card also limited? What on earth is the bank doing?”
