Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 857

“Let’s not get too disheartened,” Helen assured the rest, “We might not be a match for Williams, but we can always bring in some help.”

“Damian, I heard you’re related to the strongest Master in Eurasia -- Drake?”

The head of the Count family, Damian, nodded. “Yes, he’s a distant relative of mine. But...”

“Do whatever you can to get him to help us,” Helen cut in, “No ifs, ands or buts.”

Steeling his heart, Damian nodded his head and agreed to do so.

“Wayde,” Helen continued, “I want you to find a way to get in touch with Master Williams from Rivermouth. He’s been getting rather famous lately.”

Wayde grimaced. “Master Williams is really elusive. I don’t think I’ll be able to get in touch with him.”

“I’ll introduce you to someone,” Helen said, “He can help you get in touch with Master Williams.”

“Who?” Wayde asked curiously.

“Not too long ago, some old guy who went by the name John came looking for me. He claimed to be Zeke Williams’ enemy. He said he could help us get our revenge on Zeke. He used to work in Rivermouth and is on quite good terms with Hades. Hades and Eclipse both know Master Williams.”

“Great!” Wayde cheered, “Then it’s settled.”

Helen turned to look at the woman from the Moore family, who was also Xander’s mother. “Mrs. Moore, I heard you’re on quite good terms with the leader of the Earth Emperor’s Mountains. Could I trouble you to get in touch with him and ask him and his bandits to lay siege on Zeke Williams?”

Drawing in a deep breath, Mrs. Moore replied, “Aright.”

“I’m sure the leader will be happy to help. Especially since The Four Divinities Zeke defeated belongs to the Earth Emperor’s Mountains.”

“Ms. Zelly, now that we all have our missions, what’s yours?” Wayde asked.

“That b****** tarnished my name,” Helen cursed, “Now, I’ve got to restore my reputation. Otherwise, all those companies under my name are going to go bust.”

She then proceeded to fish out a phone and call someone named Lily Rogers.

“Lily, I need you to do me a favor. After it’s over, I’ll give you a billion.”

A seductive voice rang from the other end. “Deal.”

Just as everybody was calling Helen a scheming b**** for murdering her fiancé and swallowing his family’s assets, she came forward to clear the air.

Helen claimed that Frederick had led a sordid lifestyle and had hooked up with someone else’s wife.

After this was discovered by his mistress’ husband, the man had led a group of people to kill him.

Seconds away from his death, Frederick felt that he had wronged Helen, so he left her with all of his family’s assets.

She claimed that Frederick’s death had nothing to do with her. She was a victim as well.

The ‘mistress’, Lily Rogers, held a press conference after admitting to everything Helen had said was true and that she did have an extramarital affair with Frederick.

She also claimed that Frederick had threatened to use his authority in the military to send her to military court if she refused to be his mistress.

Thus, she had no choice but to accede to his demands.

As expected, this worked beautifully and quelled the dissent against Helen significantly.

As this story became increasingly complex, everybody began discussing if it was really the truth.

......

At that moment, Zeke happened to be making preparations for the ceremony of moving Hunting Wolf’s grave.

Just then, Wolf’s Greed came in and said, “Zeke, we’ve got a problem.”

As he spoke, he showed Zeke the report regarding Helen accusing Hunting Wolf of having an affair.

“She’s got a death wish!” After seeing the report, Zeke’s eyes lit up with a malicious glint. “If I had known she was so unrepentant, I would have punished her more severely.”

“Who is this Lily Rogers?”

“She’s a socialite who frequently mingles with the crowds of the higher class,” Wolf’s Greed replied, “To put it bluntly, she’s just a higher-end prostitute. A plaything of the rich.”

“I heard that the top ten richest men of Atheville have all engaged her services before.”

Zeke scoffed. “How can the name of a cheap woman like her be associated with Frederick’s? Come. Let’s go teach her a lesson.”


She also claimed that Frederick had threatened to use his authority in the military to send her to military court if she refused to be his mistress.
