Chapter 663
Lord Protector Novel
Zeke shouted at Darren, âWho told you all to come?â
Darren responded, âMr. Williams, we just found out you were in danger...â
âWhat? Do you think Iâm so weak that I canât deal with this on my own?â Zeke sneered.
Though Zeke sounded arrogant, Darren knew what he said was true!
âThe rest of you, leave. Darren, you stay back!â ordered Zeke.
âOkay!â Darren immediately dismissed his men. âWhat can I do for you, Mr. Williams?â
Zeke took a glance at Sleek Rat.
While Zeke was busy dealing with other things, Sleek Rat had managed to get one of his men to help him escape.
âFollow that guy and check his background.â
âGot it!â Darren hopped into his car and started tailing Sleek Rat.
Nancy was still at a loss. âWhy did you hide this from me?â she said tearfully. âAre you trying to make me look stupid?â
Zeke replied, âHide what from you? Since when did I make you look stupid?â
âYou were my hero. Why didnât you tell me? Were you glad to see how I behaved like a lovesick woman?â Nancy lamented.
Zeke quickly denied, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? What makes you think Iâm your hero?â
âYour back is exactly the same as my heroâs! You are my hero!â insisted Nancy.
Zeke did not know whether to laugh or cry. âAre you kidding me? The backs of all men from Eurasia look more or less the same. How could you jump to this conclusion just like that?â
âBut the aura you exuded when all those men kneeled before you was just extraordinary, and Iâve seen the same extraordinary aura in my hero! This is not something anyone can fake easily!â said Nancy.
Zeke tried to clarify. âLet me ask you this. Who were those people who kneeled before your hero?
Armies or henchmen?â
âArmies,â replied Nancy.
He continued, âSee? Those men who bowed before me were just a group of henchmen. I donât have the power to get a group of armies to do that!â
Nancy thought about it and finally put on a smile. âYouâre right. I should have thought of that. Youâre capable - well, sort of, but Iâm sure you donât have such great power to get armies to bow before you.
Damn it. I must have lost my mind in making that association. Youâre just a kept... Um, businessman.
Of course, youâre not my hero!â
Zeke was speechless.
Do you have to be so cheerful after finding out Iâm not your hero?
In the meantime, Nancy noticed Michael was trying to sneak away. She went up and kicked him to the ground.
âHow dare you run away, jerk? Iâll make sure youâll be charged with attempted murder. Get ready to go to prison!â
Michael pleaded, âPlease, weâre a family. Please donât be so cruel. The Hintons are still counting on me to produce an heir for the family. Itâll be the end of our family if I go to prison.â
Nancy roared, âShut up! Have you thought of me as your family when you tried to kill me? Sofia, do me a favor. Call the police!â
âStop!â A loud voice emerged from a distance.
It was Aaron Hinton who had arrived with the rest of the Hinton family.
Michael had secretly called Aaron for help while the others were busy dealing with the mess earlier.
No one else but only Aaron could save him now.
Upon seeing how miserable Michael was, Aaron yelled, âNancy, how dare you work with outsiders to torture your own family member! Youâre a traitor!â
Nancy explained, âListen to me, grandpa. He tried to kill me...â
Michael immediately stepped in. âIâm innocent! Donât listen to her! How could I kill her? Sheâs my cousin! Grandpa, it was all because of Zeke. He was not happy that weâre on Manceâs side. Hence, he wanted to take revenge on me!â
He continued, âZeke worked with Nancy and tried to frame me for murder. They used this to threaten me to support Linton Group! Then, they attacked me because they wanted me to sign an agreement that forces me to attend their listing ceremony instead of Manceâs opening ceremony! Grandpa! Help me!â
âThis is atrocious!â Aaron flew into a fit of rage and was about to slap Nancy. âDid we raise you to become a traitor to the family? Kneel down, right now, and apologize to Aaron. I want you to swear that youâll not keep in touch with Zeke anymore. If you refuse, Iâll kick you out of the family. Iâll even have your parentsâ graves removed from the ancestral graveyard!â
