Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 836

Serena suggested, “Why don’t you call the bank and ask them to increase the credit limit? Banks are getting atrocious nowadays.”

Hence, James took out his phone again. Before he managed to call the bank, however, he received a call from his assistant.

James hurriedly answered it.

The assistant was in a fluster as she reported, “Sir, something bad has happened. All your assets, including the bank accounts, have been frozen. Please return to the company now. All the employees are on strike. They’re demanding their salaries.”

James’ face turned ghastly white.

All my assets have been frozen! That was exactly what Zeke threatened to do! Gosh, is this really their doing?

Serena had not overheard the phone conversation, so she was still clueless about what had happened.

Hence, she continued to urge him, “James, who called you just now? Did the bank call to apologize?”

Of course, James could not bear to tell her the truth, fearing that she would leave him the moment she learnt of his current situation.

Taking in a deep breath, he replied, “The company has run into some issues. But don’t worry. Everything will be fine by tomorrow.”

Huh?

Serena’s face fell in disappointment.

Zeke could not help but burst out laughing. “Gosh, you are really great at spinning stories! Just admit that your company has run into financial troubles and is now bankrupt.”

James was at a loss for words.

Serena chided Zeke, “Stand aside, you stupid thief. Even if James is bankrupt, he is still way better than you by over a hundred million times!”

Really?

Zeke snickered. “Swipe this card. I want to buy all the villas here. Let me see how he’s better than me by over a hundred million times.”

The sales agents were in a despondent mood by now.

We have sucked up to James and Serena for over an hour, only for our efforts to come to naught! What a waste of our time!

After a moment of hesitation, the sales agent decided to swipe Zeke’s card.

Perhaps there will be a miracle?

The action of the sales agent antagonized Serena, who chided, “Shame on you guys! A thief like him will never be so rich even if he steals from a tycoon! Yet, you guys really swiped his card...”

At that moment, the card reader beeped and announced clearly, “Transaction successful.”

What!

Everyone in the showroom was dumbfounded and gathered around the card reader in shock.

The transaction was successful? A ten billion transaction actually went through with just a simple swipe?”

After verifying that the transaction had gone through successfully, the faces of the sales agents turned ashen.

After verifying that the transaction had gone through successfully, the faces of the sales agents turned ashen.

Damn it! We spent so much effort sucking up to someone pretending to be rich and neglected the real wealthy one! We all deserve to die!

The bunch of sales agents gathered around Zeke and fawned over him by serving him tea, showing him to the seats and providing him with top-notch services.

Serena and James were stunned.

How can an abandoned son like him fork out ten billion so casually? That’s ten times James’ net worth!

James muttered in disbelief, “The reader must have made a mistake. As far as I understand, except for Bauhinia Royal Card, there is no card in the world with a credit limit of ten billion.”

Zeke waved the card before him. “You are right.”

Only then did everyone notice that Zeke’s card was purple, and the bauhinia logo imprinted on it was shining and plated with gold.

The Bauhinia Royal Card! It’s really the Bauhinia Royal Card! There are only one hundred Bauhinia Royal Cards issued in the whole world, and all of them are owned by royalty! This customer actually has this card! That means he must be related to the royalty even if he is not from the royal lineage himself!
