Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 890

Meanwhile, Damian Count hurried to the Eastern Star Night Club to get backup.

He was still in the dark about the fall of the Asclepius Team.

He barged through the front door of the night club and ran up three flights of stairs without stopping.

The Asclepius Team had reserved the entire third floor of the bar for themselves.

The corridor was dark and quiet; nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Damian heaved a sigh of relief.

He knocked on one of the doors loudly.

To his surprise, no one answered.

He tried knocking again, only to be met with dead silence.

He frowned. Shouldn’t they be on high alert at all times? Why are they still sleeping?

He pushed the door lightly.

Creak!

The door gave way immediately.

The unmistakable, metallic smell of blood filled his nostrils.

The room was pitch black.

Blood?

Why’s there blood?

He turned on the lights without hesitation.

The scene that appeared before him made his scalp go numb.

A member of the Team was lying on the bed with blood pouring from the several stab wounds on his body, dyeing the bedsheets a shocking red.

A naked woman laid motionless next to him. Damian could not tell if she was dead or just unconscious.

I’ve come too late...

With a heavy heart, he forced himself to open the doors of the other members.

All of them were dead as well, just like the first one.

Damian could feel despair taking over his mind.

How could all of Drake’s best assassins be wiped out so quickly?

How could that Zeke Williams be so powerful?

They had grossly underestimated Zeke’s power.

Damian dragged himself to the front door of the bar with his hand on the wall.

He took a few deep breaths before exiting the door to calm his churning stomach.

He hopped onto the car. “Take me to the Zellys family home,” He instructed the driver.

Meanwhile, at the Zelly family’s residence...

The three masters flew into a rage upon hearing the news.

“Useless! What an imbecile!”

“He went to challenge Zeke Williams by himself despite knowing how strong he was? Look at the price he paid!”

“He ruined all our plans!”

Damian sighed. “Cut the whining. We need to gather fifty billion as soon as possible.”

A noked womon loid motionless next to him. Domion could not tell if she wos deod or just unconscious.

I’ve come too lote...

With o heovy heort, he forced himself to open the doors of the other members.

All of them were deod os well, just like the first one.

Domion could feel despoir toking over his mind.

How could oll of Droke’s best ossossins be wiped out so quickly?

How could thot Zeke Willioms be so powerful?

They hod grossly underestimoted Zeke’s power.

Domion drogged himself to the front door of the bor with his hond on the woll.

He took o few deep breoths before exiting the door to colm his churning stomoch.

He hopped onto the cor. “Toke me to the Zellys fomily home,” He instructed the driver.

Meonwhile, ot the Zelly fomily’s residence...

The three mosters flew into o roge upon heoring the news.

“Useless! Whot on imbecile!”

“He went to chollenge Zeke Willioms by himself despite knowing how strong he wos? Look ot the price he poid!”

“He ruined oll our plons!”

Domion sighed. “Cut the whining. We need to gother fifty billion os soon os possible.”

Mrs. Moore hung her head in defeat. “Not another fifty billion!”

“The last fifty billion was already a huge blow to my family’s finances. Another fifty billion would be devastating!”

The other masters nodded in agreement.

Even mountains made out of gold might not be worth a hundred billion, let alone wealthy families like them.

However, Helen Zelly seemed unfazed. “He wants money? Ridiculous!”

“Williams said he would murder us all if we don’t give him the money,” Damian said. “I really think he’s serious about it.”

“Haha! Why are you being so stubborn?” Helen asked.

“We’re more than capable of crushing him! We were just too ignorant of the forces available to us...”

Damian frowned. “‘Forces’? Do you mean Drake? I don’t think he will be able to make it to Atheville before the deadline Zeke gave us.”

“I’m not talking about Drake,” Helen said, shaking her head. “Think about it. Zeke Williams culled half our family and murdered hundreds of people in one go. It’s an absolute crime! Justice needs to be served!”

“Do you really think he’s above the law?”
