Chapter 1099
Lord Protector Novel
Although Lone Wolf was Byronâs supreme commander, he had never met Lone Wolf before.
To be exact, he was not qualified to meet Lone Wolf.
When he saw the three-star badge on Lone Wolfâs shoulder, he knew a person like Lone Wolf surpassed him in terms of power and influence.
He forgot about Zeke temporarily as he led his team to welcome Lone Wolf.
âByron Hunt from County Armed Forces at your service, Colonel!â
Lone Wolf scanned the place with one glance and frowned, âWhat happened here?â
Byron answered, âThere were two gangsters who came here to cause trouble. They assaulted several men and even insulted the Colonel. According to the law, I need to arrest them.â
âI am the Colonel,â Lone Wolf said. âWho insulted me?â
Byron was overjoyed.
He didnât expect to meet the Colonel in person.
This is great. I wonât have to deal with Zeke on my own.
He pointed at Zeke. âIt was him!â
Lone Wolf furrowed his brows and walked to Zeke.
Byron and the others were elated.
Hah! The Colonel will definitely punish Zeke.
The way he insulted the Colonel just now is enough to get him killed.
However, everyone was stupefied by what happened next.
Lone Wolf stood in front of Zeke and gave him a military salute.
âBrother, what happened?â he asked.
Zeke answered, âBlake Hunt colluded with Byron Hunt. They humiliated a martyrâs family members and ruined a military wedding. On top of that, he wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.â
âIâll teach them a lesson for you.â
W-What?
Byron and the othersâ hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
Brother?
Even Lone Wolf, the Colonel, addresses him as âbrother.â
Isnât he the subordinate of a deserter?
How is he worthy of being addressed as âbrotherâ by the Colonel?
What is his background?
Mrs. Raider and Caroline had tears running down their cheeks.
If Clive knew this influential figure came to pay tribute personally, he would surely smile in his grave.
Lone Wolfâs face darkened as he roared, âByron Hunt, get over here right now!â
Byron felt as if his legs were made of lead. Each step that he took felt arduous.
He stood in front of Lone Wolf and cried, âColonel, please listen to my explanation. Commander Raider was not a martyr but a deserter.â
Zeke scoffed, âIf Commander Raider is not a martyr, no one else in the world deserves the title of a martyr.â
He reached into his chest pocket to pull out a red cloth and spread it out.
It was a red flag!
He placed the red flag carefully over Commander Raiderâs ashes and gave a military salute.
âRest in peace, Commander Raider,â he said.
Whoa!
Everyone went silent.
The national flag! This is the ritual of a state funeral!
Commander Raider only held a low position in the army, so why did he deserve a state funeral?
Mrs. Raider was frightened. âYoung lad. I mean, Colonel. My son was merely a lowly commander. He does not deserve a state funeral.
Zeke said with resolute, âHe saved my life. This alone is more than enough for him to receive a state funeral.â
âSalute!â Lone Wolf commanded.
Everyone saluted in unison.
Even the Colonel deems Commander Raider worthy of a state funeral!
Blake and Byron were flabbergasted. They might as well be dead right now.
Damn! Who on earth did we offend?
One word from Zeke was enough for Commander Raider to receive a state funeral.
Who could this person be?
How did Commander Raider know such a powerful person?
Zeke took a glance at Byron.
Disheartened by the situation, Byron immediately knelt down with a thud.
Lone Wolf asked, âBrother, how should we deal with them?â
Byron and the others trembled with fear as their lives depended on Zeke.
Zeke asked, âDo you want to live or die?â
