Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 456

However, it wasn’t long before they changed their thoughts.

Soon, Nancy showed up with a small cart with a big smile on her face. “Quick, put them in the cart! We can carry all of them in one go.”

“...” Dawn was flabbergasted.

“Nancy, what happened to you? Where are your principles?”

“This has nothing to do with principles. I am only afraid that all this money might block the entrance,” Nancy justified herself.

“I like your cheek,” Zeke remarked. Though I must agree that this huge pile of cash is indeed clogging up the traffic.

Hadley was staring at the pile of cash. Suddenly, something crossed her mind, and she scolded Freya and the others, “Damn, you are all traitors! It’s not worth working with you guys.”

“Now, I want my money back! I’m not gonna waste my time on you guys.”

“Your money? What money are you talking about?” Solomon and the others played dumb.

“Don’t play dumb with me!” Hadley was not buying it as she retorted, “Where’s the one billion that I gave you to stabilize the stock market? Give it back to me now.”

Solomon shook his head. “I’m sorry but I’ve never seen your money.”

Then, she turned to face Ox. “Ox, have you seen the one billion?”

“One billion? Nope, never seen it.” Ox couldn’t look more clueless.

“Finn, Larry, did you guys pocket the money?”

“No, we didn’t,” denied the both of them.

“No idea.”

“Never seen it.”

Hadley was left fuming.

These ba****ds! They are obviously lying through their teeth!

It looks like they are going to welsh on the agreement no matter what.

It is one freaking billion we are talking about! That’s my lifetime savings!

These ba****ds have used up all my savings to gratify Zeke?

F*** these shameless punks!

Now she finally realized that Hades had faked his death in order to gull her into forking out the money.

Of course, this was not the truth. Zeke couldn’t care less about the money.

For Zeke, one billion was just a petty amount of money.

His purpose was to lure all of Logan Hugh’s underlings.

Now it seemed that his plan had worked. At least they managed to lure the Necromancer Assassin Organization out.

Hadley glowered at Zeke as she said, “Zeke Williams, you’re getting on my last nerve. This is war!”

“You know what?” Zeke snarled as he crushed an ant beneath his foot. “To me, you’re nothing more than a tiny little ant.”

Hadley countered, “Huh, don’t forget I’m not alone. I have an army with me.”

“Oh, what army?” Zeke seemed to be intrigued.

“Ne...” Hadley almost let the cat out of the bag.

“None of your business!” She gave him a put-off before the word ‘Necromancer’ escaped her mouth.

Zeke would have the perfect reason to arrest her if she ever claimed to be a member of the Necromancer Assassin Organization.

Zeke was obviously disappointed that Hadley sidestepped his question.

Hadley rolled her eyes at Zeke and left.

Zeke shifted his gaze to Emily. “Emily Clemons, it’s pretty daring of you to force my wife to transfer the ownership of the Linton Group to you. Looks like you haven’t learnt your lesson. It’s the worst mistake of my life to let you off for the previous times.”

Emily’s facial expression was a mixture of fury and terror.

On one hand, she was angry at Logan for screwing up such a perfect plan. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

On the other hand, she was afraid of Zeke, as the latter was supported by Hades, a man who was powerful enough to crush her like an ant.

Emily took a deep breath and regained her composure. She decided that it was time to beat a hasty retreat.

Emily grabbed Madeleine’s hand and was about to leave.

“You’re not going anywhere!” Zeke roared.
