Chapter 739
Lord Protector Novel
What use was money in the face of life and death?
Even the boss had knelt. The other workers followed suit, even the snipers who had been in hiding the whole time.
Five minutes. That was all they had.
If Zeke didnât reverse these transactions within the next five minutes, theyâd all be done for.
Zeke finally took out his phone and made another call. âReverse the transactions. Get rid of all the evidence.â
The crowdâs nervousness finally got resolved.
âGet up,â Zeke Williams said. âWe shouldnât lose our morals over business now, should we?â
The crowd got up slowly.
Lily quickly brought a chair forward. âMr. Williams, please have a seat.â
Zeke sat down and looked at Caleb coldly. âTell me, how exactly you and Gavin planning to get rid of my family?â
Caleb no longer dared to hide anything from Zeke, so he told him the full story, even the little details.
After speaking, Caleb slapped himself in the face. âI should not have done that. This is all my fault.
Donât worry, Iâll arrange for that money to be returned to you right now.â
Zeke shook his head. âSince itâs already in my account, I donât think itâd be very appropriate to take it back out.â
Caleb instantly understood what he meant and said, âOkay, that four billion shall be our apology to you.
Iâll arrange for that money to be laundered right away.â
Zeke continued, âSince Gavin enjoys transferring money to me so much, letâs just let him continue.â
Caleb smiled. âOf course. Lily, go and launder the four billion for Mr. Williams. Iâll contact Gavin now.â
He pulled out his phone and called Gavin right in front of Zeke.
âMr. Zachary, the plan is going extremely smoothly. The Linton Group has caught the attention of the National Security Service for being involved in the illegal selling of military weaponry. However, the four billion you invested at first is, unfortunately, running out. If you really want him and his family destroyed, you have to transfer a little bit more. Hear me out. Donât be mad. You only need to transfer another two billion this time. Thatâll ensure neither Zeke Williams nor the Hinton family will be alive by the end of all this. Iâll wait for you to let me know.â
Zeke then left with Dawn.
The people in Chase Bank finally sighed in relief.
They soon realized that their backs had been drenched with sweat.
They all looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Chase Bank had always been on the very top of the social ladder and had never feared being looked down upon, not for the last hundred years.
Zeke drove Dawn back to Linton Group.
On the way there, Dawn looked at Zeke and snickered. âZeke, do you know what my childhood dream was?â
Zeke shook his head. âWhat was it?â
Dawn replied, âI wanted to be killed by money. Before this, itâs always been just that: a dream. I never expected that it could come true. So, Zeke, promise me that when I die of old age or something, find a way to kill me with money.â
Zeke replied, âWhat if I want to kill you right now?â
Gavin was more annoyed than usual.
He had already invested six billion in Chase Bank.
To think that this has barely satisfied them. I even have to add on another two billion on top of that.
He had already invested eight billion at this point.
âDumb f******g Chase Bank. Are they incompetent or something?â
Caleb called him right as he was pacing around.
Gavin quickly picked up and asked, âCaleb, howâs everything going?â
âGood news!â Caleb guffawed, âThe National Security Service has given the Linton Group a death sentence. As the CEO for Linton Group, Lacey Hinton, is definitely done for. However, as a mere worker under Linton Group, Zeke Williams might end up going scot-free this time.â
âWhat?â Gavin yelled in anger. âI wanted you to get rid of Zeke Williams in the first place. Lacey was just extra baggage! What do you mean heâll go scot-free?â
