Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 491

Logan Hugh lowered his head and pondered.

After a moment, he looked up and said, “Deal! Ten minutes it is!”

Logan was confident that with his power and resources, he was able to escape within ten minutes.

Zeke pulled out a contract he had prepared beforehand and threw it at Logan.

Logan signed the contract without any hesitation.

Zeke kept the contract and said, “Let’s make another deal now. Just answer my question. If I’m satisfied with the answer, you’ll get another ten minutes to escape.”

Logan quickly asked, “What is it?”

“Who exactly is your boss?” asked Zeke.

Logan’s lips tugged into a miserable smile, “I’m sorry. I can’t answer that question. I’m just a small pawn in the eyes of my boss. I have never come in contact with him directly. He will usually give me instructions via a middleman.”

Zeke said thoughtfully, “You’re a staff officer of the Military District. Yet you don’t even have the right to contact him. Your boss must be a powerful man then. One last question. Who’s the middleman between you and your boss?”

Logan shook his head, “Sorry, I won’t answer that question. If I betray the middleman, he’s going to kill my family. Even if I die, I can’t get my family involved.”

Zeke sighed, “I have no other choice if you don’t appreciate the chance I have given you.”

Zeke knew that Logan would never say anything that would get his family involved. So he didn’t question Logan anymore because he knew that would be useless.

Zeke pulled out his phone and turned on the timer. “Your ten minutes starts now.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Logan jumped to his feet and rushed for the windows. He jumped out of it and with a blink of an eye, he was gone.

Logan was a military officer after all. Of course he had the ability to do so.

Hadley asked Zeke carefully, “You’re letting him go just like that?”

Zeke smiled nonchalantly, “Letting him go? You think too much. There’s no escape for him.”

Logan was already in Sole Wolf and Lone Wolf’s trap.

If both the generals couldn’t even capture Logan, they can pack their stuff and feed the pigs at the logistics department.

Zeke brought the two back to the private room.

Harvey Hoffman stayed put and didn’t do anything to Lacey the whole time.

But Emily was busy crying and complaining to the reporters about Zeke’s beastly behavior.

Emily’s acting skills were good. She wept with great sorrow. Those who heard her story felt sad for her and some were even in tears. Quite a few reporters were even looking at Emily with sympathetic eyes.

Especially one of the reporters with gold-rimmed glasses. She was cursing and insulting Zeke just to comfort Emily.

Zeke rolled his eyes angrily at the reporter with gold-rimmed glasses.

The reporter worked under Logan’s entertainment company. Now that Logan had handed over the company to Zeke, it meant that the reporter was now Zeke’s employee.

Just wait to be fired if you’re going to berate your boss in front of everyone.

Harvey Hoffman frowned when he noticed that Zeke was back alone. Where is Logan Hugh? Where did he go?

But the more important thing right now is controlling Williams.

Harvey immediately ordered his men, “Arrest Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton.”

Lacey panicked and grabbed Zeke’s hand, “What should we do now?”

Zeke brushed the dust off of Lacey’s shoulders and said, “Mr. Hoffman, why exactly are you arresting us?”

“Hmph! You’re asking this on purpose. It’s a fact that you’ve been taking drugs. The evidence is right in front of you! What else is there to say?” said Harvey.

“Did you see with your own eyes that we have taken drugs?” asked Zeke.

“It seems like you want to do this the hard way. Lab technician, Lacey Hinton and Emily Clemons’ blood samples have been tested, right?” asked Harvey.

The blood inspector quickly answered, “I just finished testing them.”

“Come on. Announce the results to us.”

The lab technician picked up the test report and read it out, “Based on the tests, Ms. Lacey Hinton’s results came out negative and Ms. Emily Clemons’ results came out positive. In other words, there are drugs in Ms. Emily Clemon and there’s none in Ms. Lacey Hinton.”

Lacey heaved a sigh of relief.

But Emily was dumbfounded at the results. “Bullsh*t! This is f**king bullsh*t! What kind of crappy lab technician are you? You got this all wrong! I’ve never touched drugs in my life. How could there be drugs in my system?”
