Chapter 1253
Lord Protector Novel
At the same time, he would intimidate the Thisletons with his identity as the Great Marshal to not mess around with Lacey anymore.
Suddenly, the butler rushed in. âYoung Master Clyde, something bad...â
When he entered, his words paused mid-sentence after seeing the bloody scene in front of him.
Clyde, the head of the family, had his limbs cut off!
Lying pathetically in a pool of blood, he was on the verge of dying.
Feeling chills run down his spine, the butler yelled, âWho dares to be so vicious to Young Master Clyde?â
When Clyde saw the butler, a hopeful look appeared in his eyes.
âSave me... Send me to the hospital quickly.â
âYes, Young Master!â The butler walked towards Clyde briskly.
âWho dares to do so?â bellowed Zeke furiously.
His voice was so deafeningly loud that the butler felt a sharp ringing in his ears as blood shot up to his brain.
It was as if he were about to faint.
Forcing himself to stop mid-way, the butler dared not to move a step.
Zeke continued, âTell your boss about what happened.â
The butler glanced at Clyde hesitatingly.
âTell me,â mumbled Clyde with much difficulty.
Hence, the butler said, âThe Great Marshal suddenly issued an Ultimate Command. Now, all the borders of Atheville have been sealed!â
What?
Clyde shuddered, feeling like this was all too surreal.
No. It canât be! The Great Marshal issued an Ultimate Command and sealed Atheville?
Is everything merely a coincidence?
Impossible! How can there be such a huge coincidence in this world?
Unless... Zeke is really the Great Marshal!
No wonder the Thisleton family did not do anything to Zeke after he crippled Julian.
Itâs because he is the Great Marshal!
Iâve been opposing the Great Marshal all this while, even bullying his wife.
Oh God... Iâve been digging my own grave!
The sheer terror was too much for Clyde, causing him to faint right then.
Even Lacey was paralyzed in shock as she stared at Zeke, her mouth agape.
With an apologetic look, Zeke said, âIâm sorry for hiding it from you for so long, Lacey. I concealed my identity because I was too worried about losing you.â
Taking a deep breath, Lacey exclaimed, âSo, youâre the one whom Iâve proposed to during the Great Marshalâs ceremony.â
Zeke nodded his head solemnly.
Lacey continued, âThe beggar whom I saved in the past was you too?â
Again, Zeke nodded.
Suddenly, tears gushed out of Laceyâs eyes as she stroked Zekeâs head tenderly.
âFrom a miserable beggar, you became the mighty Great Marshal. What have you experienced over all these years? You must have been living a hellish life.â
Zeke heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Lacey was not resenting him for now.
At that moment, Zekeâs phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Wolfâs Greed, Zeke accepted it.
Wolfâs Greed said, âSir, Iâve managed to track Ichiro Yamano down and cornered him to the rooftop of a shopping mall. He is guarded by the Four Great Ninjas, so I cannot defeat them alone. Hence, Iâve contacted Lone Wolf and Sole Wolf. Theyâll come and back me up soon.â
Zeke said, âNever mind. Tell Sole Wolf and Lone Wolf to stay at their posts. Iâll act personally. Since theyâve held my daughter hostage, I can only guarantee her safety by taking action myself.â
With a hesitant tone, Wolfâs Greed warned, âSir, youâre still severely injured. If you fight them, your injuries might worsen...â
But Zeke replied, âIt doesnât matter. Just do what I say and stall him. Iâll arrive shortly.â
âYes, Sir!â
After hanging up the call, Zeke assured Lacey, âIâm going to save Missy now. Stay here and donât go anywhere.â
