Chapter 1210
Lord Protector Novel
The leader of the platoon was General Cosmopolis, Wolfâs Greed.
As the captain of the Inspection Brigade, Wilfred recognized him instantly.
âWhatâs going on? Why is General Cosmopolis here? If heâs leading this platoon, it must be part of the Atheville army!â
Terrified, Wilfred rushed forward and saluted.
âSir, Wilfred Bradley, Captain of the Inspection Brigade, reports!â
Glancing at Wilfred, Wolfâs Greed ignored him and walked towards Zeke.
When he reached Zekeâs side, he stood up straight and saluted.
âSir, when did you come back? Why didnât you inform me? I couldâve welcomed you,â said Wolfâs Greed.
Zeke replied, âI just returned too.â
Instead of dispatching the Alpha Suicide Squad to the Southeast battlefield, Zeke instructed them to remain behind and guard their stations.
Otherwise, the Bloodsworth Syndicate might attack the base by creating a diversion.
Wolfâs Greed said, âFollow me, Sir. Iâve prepared a sumptuous feast for you.â
Zeke shook his head. âNot so fast. Let me settle the Inspection Brigade first. I heard that the captain of the Inspection Brigade is the leader of this territory. Is it true?â
His gaze landed on Wilfred.
At that moment, Wilfred felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had been plunged into icy waters.
His body went limp and he fell onto his knees, unable to control himself.
What the f***?
Which big shot did I offend?
Even Wolfâs Greed, the General Cosmopolis, addresses him as âSirâ.
Then, he must be a general too!
Wilfredâs voice quivered. âSpare my life, General. Spare my life... Iâve learnt my mistake! I wonât dare to do this again.â
Wolfâs Greed yelled furiously, âAs a civil servant, you abused your authority and made such audacious claims! Having violated the law, you should be punished harshly! Someone, send him to the military court so he can receive his punishment.â
Wilfredâs body trembled and the scent of piss permeated the air.
He wet his pants out of fear!
As he was ridden with multiple crimes, he would definitely be sentenced to death by the military court.
Hence, he started to grovel for mercy.
Zeke said coldly, âLet me ask you something, Wilfred. Who told you to target my parents?â
Wilfred looked troubled and hesitant.
However, under Zekeâs coercion and intimidation, he told everything truthfully, âItâs... Itâs Clyde Thisleton from the Thisleton family who told me to do it. He said that they wanted to save up money to pay for their grandchildâs hospital fees. However, he doesnât want their grandchild to recover, so he ordered me to take their money.â
Enraged, Zeke clenched his fists.
Missy was Clydeâs own nephew!
How could he bear to be so vicious?
What a scoundrel!
Wolfâs Greed said, âLetâs go, Sir. We shall celebrate for you today.â
However, Zeke shook his hand. âNever mind. I need to settle some things. You should return first.â
Left with no choice, Wolfâs Greed left with Scarred Face and Wilfred, who were under his restrain.
The venue was still filled with deafening silence long after they left.
The crowd was still immersed in their huge shock, unable to regain their senses.
Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would not believe what they were seeing was real.
This old couple selling fruits actually had a son-in-law who was a general!
Why were they living such a low-profile life?
It was a piece of cake for their son-in-law to give them ten times the money they wouldâve earned from selling fruits!
Yet, they were still troubled over the protection fees...
How frustrating!
The neighbors who had some fallings-out with the Hinton couple were terrified.
If their son-in-law wanted to take revenge, their entire family might be killed.
Within the blink of an eye, Daniel and Hanna were surrounded by a group of people.
Some tried to flatter them, while some apologized profusely.
