Chapter 737
Lord Protector Novel
Caleb Nolan brought the two of them to a saleswoman named Lily. âLily, these two are our VIP customers. Treat them well, okay?â
Lily nodded gracefully and said in a gentle tone, âMr. Williams, Ms. Castaneda, what is it the two of you would like to look at today?â
Before arriving at the bank, Caleb had already sent Zeke and Dawnâs information to Lily.
Zeke replied, âMoney laundering.â
Lily smiled and nodded. âWould it be possible for Mr. Williams to elaborate further? Maybe about the Linton Groupâs business structure and financial situation-â
Zeke shook his head. âThatâs out of the question. Go and call your boss. The two of you have no right to serve me.â
Caleb and Lily were taken aback, and both of them started feeling slightly awkward.
Caleb tried his best to soothe the tense atmosphere. âMr. Williams, Iâm actually qualified to deal with any cases under ten billion. If you think Iâm below your level, Iâd be more than happy to call upon my supervisor. He deals with anything under fifty billion.â
Zeke replied, âWhat about a trillion?â
Real estate worth a trillion?
Caleb and Lily barely managed to hold their laughter back.
They had both made deals with various rich higher-ups all the time, some of whom were the richest men in their cities. Yet, they had never seen anyone try to brag in such an incredulous manner.
Caleb snickered. âMr. Williams, you arenât here to launder money, are you? Are you secretly here to buy our underground bank?â
Lily smiled mockingly. âMr. Williams, I didnât take you for a jokester.â
Zeke shook his head. âSorry. Iâm not really interested in your banksâ minuscule finances.â
Caleb and Lilyâs expressions slowly darkened. They soon realized Zeke was not joking.
What could this man be up to?
Zeke suddenly started saying, âOne oâclock. Three oâclock. Five oâclock. Six oâclock. Seven, nine, ten, and eleven oâclock.â
Caleb and Lily were confused. What is he talking about?
After a mere second, however, their expressions became tense.
Zeke was pointing out the positions of every sniper in front of him!
How did he know there were snipers in here? How did he manage to point out all of their exact positions?
Has he known since he stepped in here?
These snipers were all SEAL veterans whose capacity for criminal investigation was better than most.
They couldnât have been easily spotted at such short notice.
He must have researched Chase Bank beforehand; Caleb could tell that he was dangerous and a definite threat to Chase Bank.
Caleb finally realized how much more out of control the situation was getting.
He couldnât invite his boss at this point.
He immediately glanced at Lily, who understood at once and pressed the red emergency button under the table before calling their boss.
The whole of Chase Bank was in a state of emergency the moment the alarm went off. Some of the snipers were already aiming at Zeke, and even the old man who watched over the hotel upstairs had his bullets loaded.
Dawnâs palms were slick from sweat as she clutched onto Zekeâs arm nervously. âZeke, what do we do now?â
Zeke just patted Dawnâs shoulder reassuringly. âDonât worry. Nothing can happen when Iâm around.â
After a few minutes, a heavyset man came striding over.
Four intimidating bodyguards who had two pistols each hanging off their belts followed after him.
This man has to be the boss of Chase Bank.
He looked at Zeke with an expressionless face. âAre you the one whoâs looking to launder a trillion?
Transfer the money over then. Weâll make sure the money comes back to you all clean. However, if we get even a penny less than a trillion, youâll know whatâs coming. The only ones who are allowed to enter this place are either business partners or the soon-to-be-dead.â
Zeke picked up his phone and made a call. âTake action.â
Caleb walked to his boss with an apologetic face. âIâm sorry, Sir. I didnât do a thorough enough background check on him beforehand. I never imagined that he would be a threat to our bank.â
