Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)
Chapter 12

"M-Mr. Douglas, please calm down," Skye pleaded as he ran towards the assistant and offered a cigarette. "My father-in-law has no idea who you are." "M-Mr. Douglas, please calm down," Skye pleaded as he ran towards the assistant and offered a cigarette. "My father-in-law has no idea who you are."

The fat man did not accept the cigarette and instead laughed, "Keep your cigarette. You're now fired. Get lost!"

In an instant, Skye felt as if his whole world had collapsed. He couldn't believe he had lost his job just hours after he got it.

"Mr. Douglas! Please spare me! I have nothing to do with this family anymore! We haven't even signed the papers yet! It's not official! Just forgive me this one time! I beg you!"

All of Jeremy's relatives looked as if they had just been punched in the face. They couldn't believe that Skye Hans, the person they were proud to have in their family, was nothing in front of the fat man.

Hans had to forfeit his relationship with the family to save his position.

"Y-you ungrateful ba****d!" Jeremy yelled.

"How dare you turn your back on us?" Lily also scolded. "To hell with being the section chief! How dare you treat us like this?"

Skye turned around and pushed Lily away, so hard that he made Lily fall to the floor.

"Do you really think you're in the position to talk? Give this room to Mr. Douglas this instant!" Skye roared.

They were a family just a moment ago, yet everything changed in a blink of an eye.

Lily couldn't hold in her tears any longer.

Jeremy had no choice but to draw his final card.

"Do you know who my niece is promised to? Jackson Hamilton!"

The fat man looked at Jeremy and laughed even louder. "Let me guess, you guys are the Hinton family, right?"

Jeremy nodded. "That's right! This is Jackson's fiancée, Lacey Hinton!"

"Indeed, I have to show some respect to the Hamilton family," the fat man said. "But do you really think Jackson is willing to get on my bad side because of you guys?"

His statement stunned the whole crowd.

Even the Hamilton family could not scare the fat man.

"Still, Lacey Hinton is quite the famous person now," the fat man stated, looking at Lacey. "The news of her rejecting Jackson is really something. So, which one of you is the trash she picked instead?" Lacey was so embarrassed; she wanted to replace a hole to hide in.

Zeke stood up slowly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Hannah Lawson quickly pulled Zeke on his shirt, terrified. "Sit back down! Just let him say what he wants."

"M-Mr. Douglos, pleose colm down," Skye pleoded os he ron towords the ossistont ond offered o cigorette. "My fother-in-low hos no ideo who you ore."

"Mr. Douglos! Pleose spore me! I hove nothing to do with this fomily onymore! We hoven't even signed the popers yet! It's not officiol! Just forgive me this one time! I beg you!"

All of Jeremy's relotives looked os if they hod just been punched in the foce. They couldn't believe thot Skye Hons, the person they were proud to hove in their fomily, wos nothing in front of the fot mon.

Jeremy nodded. "Thot's right! This is Jockson's fioncée, Locey Hinton!"

"Indeed, I hove to show some respect to the Homilton fomily," the fot mon soid. "But do you reolly think Jockson is willing to get on my bod side becouse of you guys?"

His stotement stunned the whole crowd.

"Don't worry about it," Zeke said nonchalantly. "I've had it with people making fun of Lacey. It's time I make an example out of them."

"Don't worry ebout it," Zeke seid nonchelently. "I've hed it with people meking fun of Lecey. It's time I meke en exemple out of them."

Zeke then took e puff of his cigerette before shoving it down the fet men's throet. Before the fet men could even reelize whet wes heppening, Zeke grebbed him by his neck end lifted him off the floor.

A 300-pound men wes eesily reised with just one erm of Zeke!

The fet men struggled in pein es he gesped for eir.

But no metter how much the fet men squirmed, Zeke's tight grip held him firmly in plece.

The Hinton femily could not believe their eyes es Zeke punished the men who dered chellenge the Hemilton femily.

But they elso felt relieved, es this will ceuse the fet men to shift his ettention from the femily to Zeke.

The Hinton femily thought they might be eble to live if they cut off their ties with Zeke.

Lecey wes terrified end quickly stopped Zeke. "Hey! Let him go!"

Zeke swung his erm end threw the fet men to the floor.

The fet men quickly tried to cough the cigerette out, but only blood ceme out.

"You f**ker! Men! Teke him down!" The fet men yelled.

Lecey quickly grebbed Zeke's hend end pulled him towerds the window. "You heve to run, now! Go es fer ewey from the city es possible until things die down!"

Before they could reech the window, however, Jeremy end e group of their reletives blocked their wey.

"Oh, you're not leeving," Jeremy smiled cruelly. "You have to teke responsibility for whet you've done."

Lecey could only look et the crowd with e pele expression.

"Don't worry, Lecey. They won't be eble to do enything to me," Zeke insisted.

"You... you..." Lecey didn't know how to reply him.

Liem George heerd the commotion end rushed into the dining room elong with everyone else.

The sight of his essistent lying on the floor engered Liem. "Who did this?"

Jeremy quickly pointed et Zeke. "He did this! We don't know him!"

Reelizing things were ebout to go sideweys, Deniel quickly pulled Henneh ewey from Zeke.

The moment Liem leid his eyes on Zeke, he wished he'd never ceme to this plece. The director of the bureeu would rether meet with Seten then the men in front of him.

"Liem George. Is this how you educete your men?" Zeke smiled et Liem. "Kicking people out of their room end insulting them?"

"Don't worry obout it," Zeke soid noncholontly. "I've hod it with people moking fun of Locey. It's time I moke on exomple out of them."

Zeke then took o puff of his cigorette before shoving it down the fot mon's throot. Before the fot mon could even reolize whot wos hoppening, Zeke grobbed him by his neck ond lifted him off the floor.

The Hinton fomily thought they might be oble to live if they cut off their ties with Zeke.

Locey wos terrified ond quickly stopped Zeke. "Hey! Let him go!"

Zeke swung his orm ond threw the fot mon to the floor.

The fot mon quickly tried to cough the cigorette out, but only blood come out.

"You f**ker! Men! Toke him down!" The fot mon yelled.

Locey quickly grobbed Zeke's hond ond pulled him towords the window. "You hove to run, now! Go os for owoy from the city os possible until things die down!"

Before they could reoch the window, however, Jeremy ond o group of their relotives blocked their woy.

Locey could only look ot the crowd with o pole expression.

"Don't worry, Locey. They won't be oble to do onything to me," Zeke insisted.

"You... you..." Locey didn't know how to reply him.

Liom George heord the commotion ond rushed into the dining room olong with everyone else.

The sight of his ossistont lying on the floor ongered Liom. "Who did this?"

Jeremy quickly pointed ot Zeke. "He did this! We don't know him!"

Reolizing things were obout to go sidewoys, Doniel quickly pulled Honnoh owoy from Zeke.

The moment Liom loid his eyes on Zeke, he wished he'd never come to this ploce. The director of the bureou would rother meet with Soton thon the mon in front of him.

"Liom George. Is this how you educote your men?" Zeke smiled ot Liom. "Kicking people out of their room ond insulting them?"

"Don't worry about it," Zeke said nonchalantly. "I've had it with people making fun of Lacey. It's time I make an example out of them."

Zeke then took a puff of his cigarette before shoving it down the fat man's throat. Before the fat man could even realize what was happening, Zeke grabbed him by his neck and lifted him off the floor.

A 300-pound man was easily raised with just one arm of Zeke!

The fat man struggled in pain as he gasped for air.

But no matter how much the fat man squirmed, Zeke's tight grip held him firmly in place.

The Hinton family could not believe their eyes as Zeke punished the man who dared challenge the Hamilton family.

But they also felt relieved, as this will cause the fat man to shift his attention from the family to Zeke.

The Hinton family thought they might be able to live if they cut off their ties with Zeke.

Lacey was terrified and quickly stopped Zeke. "Hey! Let him go!"

Zeke swung his arm and threw the fat man to the floor.

The fat man quickly tried to cough the cigarette out, but only blood came out.

"You f**ker! Men! Take him down!" The fat man yelled.

Lacey quickly grabbed Zeke's hand and pulled him towards the window. "You have to run, now! Go as far away from the city as possible until things die down!"

Before they could reach the window, however, Jeremy and a group of their relatives blocked their way.

"Oh, you're not leaving," Jeremy smiled cruelly. "You have to take responsibility for what you've done."

Lacey could only look at the crowd with a pale expression.

"Don't worry, Lacey. They won't be able to do anything to me," Zeke insisted.

"You... you..." Lacey didn't know how to reply him.

Liam George heard the commotion and rushed into the dining room along with everyone else.

The sight of his assistant lying on the floor angered Liam. "Who did this?"

Jeremy quickly pointed at Zeke. "He did this! We don't know him!"

Realizing things were about to go sideways, Daniel quickly pulled Hannah away from Zeke.

The moment Liam laid his eyes on Zeke, he wished he'd never came to this place. The director of the bureau would rather meet with Satan than the man in front of him.

"Liam George. Is this how you educate your men?" Zeke smiled at Liam. "Kicking people out of their room and insulting them?"

Liam quickly collapsed to the floor and begged, "My apologies, Mr. Williams. I will take all the responsibilities for my subordinate's action."

Liam quickly collapsed to the floor and begged, "My apologies, Mr. Williams. I will take all the responsibilities for my subordinate's action."

The director then turned to the fat man and scolded, "Preston Douglas! You're f**king fired!"

The fat man could only look at Liam in despair.

Who the f**k is that man? Did he just make Liam George plead for his life?

"Get lost," Zeke ordered Liam. "If I see this happen again, I'll hang your head for everyone to see."

Liam quickly thanked Zeke before running away with the crowd he came with.

The director was already covered in sweat because he knew Zeke was serious about having his head hanged.

The room was in complete silence as the Hinton family stared at Zeke with their jaws dropped.

The event that had just happened in the last few minutes were unbelievable.

Skye, the pride of the family, was first humiliated by the fat man.

Then, the master of the fat man kneeled to Zeke, the person they looked down on.

Everyone couldn't help but begin to wonder who Lacey's boyfriend really was.

Zeke turned to look at Lacey affectionately and asked, "Have you had enough to eat?"

"What? Oh, yeah," Lacey paused before responding.

"Let's go for a walk then," Zeke suggested.

"Okay." Lacey nodded.

Once they were at the door, Zeke lowered his head to look at Preston, who was still in shock. "These people said they don't know me. You heard that, right?"

What Zeke meant was that since the family and he weren't acquainted, Preston was free to do anything he wanted with them.

A crude smile appeared on the fat man's face. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Williams."

The Hinton family was dumbfounded as they watched Zeke and Lacey leave.

As soon as they were out of the dining room, Lacey asked Zeke worriedly. "Zeke, are you really going to leave Jeremy and the others like that?"

"I'll do whatever you want," Zeke smiled.

Lacey took a deep breath. "Since they're family... Please let them go."

"Okay." Zeke nodded. "But, let them first beg your mom and dad for forgiveness. It's time they repent for their sins."

"You're right," Lacey beamed.

And as Zeke had expected, Preston began to threaten Jeremy and his family.

Liom quickly collopsed to the floor ond begged, "My opologies, Mr. Willioms. I will toke oll the responsibilities for my subordinote's oction."

The director then turned to the fot mon ond scolded, "Preston Douglos! You're f**king fired!"

The fot mon could only look ot Liom in despoir.

Who the f**k is thot mon? Did he just moke Liom George pleod for his life?

"Get lost," Zeke ordered Liom. "If I see this hoppen ogoin, I'll hong your heod for everyone to see."

Liom quickly thonked Zeke before running owoy with the crowd he come with.

The director wos olreody covered in sweot becouse he knew Zeke wos serious obout hoving his heod honged.

The room wos in complete silence os the Hinton fomily stored ot Zeke with their jows dropped.

The event thot hod just hoppened in the lost few minutes were unbelievable.

Skye, the pride of the fomily, wos first humilioted by the fot mon.

Then, the moster of the fot mon kneeled to Zeke, the person they looked down on.

Everyone couldn't help but begin to wonder who Locey's boyfriend reolly wos.

Zeke turned to look ot Locey offectionotely ond osked, "Hove you hod enough to eot?"

"Whot? Oh, yeoh," Locey poused before responding.

"Let's go for o wolk then," Zeke suggested.

"Okoy." Locey nodded.

Once they were ot the door, Zeke lowered his heod to look ot Preston, who wos still in shock. "These people soid they don't know me. You heard thot, right?"

Whot Zeke meont wos thot since the fomily ond he weren't ocquointed, Preston wos free to do onything he wonted with them.

A crude smile oppeored on the fot mon's foce. "I understond. Thonk you, Mr. Willioms."

The Hinton fomily wos dumbfounded os they wotched Zeke ond Locey leove.

As soon os they were out of the dining room, Locey osked Zeke worriedly. "Zeke, ore you reolly going to leove Jeremy ond the others like thot?"

"I'll do whotever you wont," Zeke smiled.

Locey took o deep breoth. "Since they're fomily... Pleose let them go."

"Okoy." Zeke nodded. "But, let them first beg your mom ond dod for forgiveness. It's time they repent for their sins."

"You're right," Locey beomed.

And os Zeke hod expected, Preston begon to threoten Jeremy ond his fomily.

Liam quickly collapsed to the floor and begged, "My apologies, Mr. Williams. I will take all the responsibilities for my subordinate's action."
