Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 458

Lacey and her family were left scratching their heads over Zeke’s words.

Zeke is so mysterious.

How could a tiny USB threaten grandpa and Daniel’s lives?

Although they were clueless, they didn’t prod Zeke for an answer.

“Everyone, I’m sorry for the disturbance and I apologize for the commotion earlier. Now I would like to invite you back into the hall to continue our inauguration ceremony.” Lacey led the guests into the hall.

“We have arranged some performances and also a lunch buffet. I hope you will enjoy it.”

“Alright!” The crowd was pleased as they entered the hall.

“Oh... no... no... no... Ms. Lacey, it’s not a disturbance at all. It’s a surprise!”

“Yes, it’s a real eye-opener with the artificial snow falling display, the mountain of cash and the appearance of the eight gang leaders.”

“I posted the video on the Internet and it became viral within ten minutes.”

“Really? Then I’m going to post it as well. Maybe I’ll rise to fame and become an Internet celebrity.”

Lacey heaved a sigh of relief and turn towards Zeke. “Zeke, ask the plane to stop the artificial snow. It’s a splurge to begin with. What’s more, it might affect the vegetation of nearby farmlands.”

Zeke curled his lip into an assuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve communicated with the farmers to compensate for all their losses.”

Lacey asked curiously, “Zeke Williams, tell me, how much did you spend on these arrangements?”

Zeke shrugged his shoulder. “Not much, just one billion.”

Zeke came up with a random figure. But in actual fact, the expenditure had far exceeded one billion.

Sole Wolf’s fifty thousand armies alone had already cost more than that.

The crowd couldn’t help wincing at the money spent. Even Hades and Eclipse were no exception.

One billion for an artificial snowfall... Oh, Lord... Money really is the key to happiness.

Lacey asked dubiously, “Did you use the money from the Linton Group’s account?”

Zeke showed an innocent face. “Oh Lacey, I’m just a petty salesperson working under you. I have no access to the company’s account.”

“Then tell me, where did you get the one billion from?” Lacey pumped Zeke.

Nancy chimed in, “Isn’t the answer obvious? He sold the two jadeites he bade from the auction.”

“Zeke Williams, how much did you sell the two jadeites for?”

Zeke answered, “One billion.”

“Oh my god! One billion!” Nancy hit the roof when she heard the figure. “You... You’re truly a damn fool!” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I could offer you at least two billion for the two jadeites. But you sell it off for one billion?! Oh, you’re a true bumpkin!”

“Those two jadeites cost you a lifetime worth of luck, but now you’ve wasted it all. Bravo, my country cousin! That’s what happens when you are uncultured and illiterate. Dang!”

Zeke could stand her bombardment no more. “Hey, Nancy Hinton! How much money do I actually owe you? I’ll pay you back, but can you not be prejudiced against me? You’re always picking on me no matter what I do.”

“Yeah, I’m prejudiced against you! So what?” Nancy was tearing a strip off Zeke. “You’re a kept man. On top of that, you’re impotent.”

Last time, when Nancy went to the auction, Zeke left his seat to use the washroom. Unbeknownst to Nancy, Zeke had left to ‘return’ the wallet to Hadley.

Zeke returned to his seat shortly after returning the wallet.

However, Nancy had mistaken that Zeke had a weak kidney based on his short duration of time using the washroom.

Zeke was dumbstruck.
