Lord Protector Novel

Lacey turned to Zeke and asked, “Zeke, was it your doing?”

Zeke answered. “To be honest, Lacey, I was the one who proposed the plan to replicate an aircraft carrier. I also

monitored everything from the purchase of the wreckage, its transportation, and the rebuilding process. This

project determines the fate of the country, so please forgive me for keeping it from you until now.”

Lacey was cautious when she spoke. “Actually, Zeke, I think there are some amazing corporations that would do a

better job than our company. We can’t risk affecting this project’s outcome just for our personal gain. This is too

important for Eurasia, and we must choose the best candidate for it. Our company is a tad... too weak.”

Zeke reassured her, “Actually, there is no better candidate for this project. The corporation responsible for the

project must be loyal to the country. After all, everything is top-secret. I believe that Linton Group is the most loyal

company in the country.”

Lacey thought about it for a while before she nodded. “You’re right about that. Okay, then it’s settled. Mr. Gunn, we

look forward to working with you.”

Tim smiled. “As do we.”

Lacey turned to Zeke and asked, “Zeke, was it your doing?”

Dawn turned to the burly man and boasted, “Hah, who said that Zeke is useless? He might’ve lost his ability to fight,

but he still found ways to contribute to the country. He is Eurasia’s savior! You should be ashamed of yourself for

insulting him.”

The burly man was dumbfounded.

He wanted to kill himself there and then for his own stupidity.

Damn it. I missed out on a great opportunity! If I didn’t mess things up with Linton Group for Mary’s sake and

continued working with the corporation, my company and I would’ve risen to the top! But now, Mary has ruined

everything and even pushed me towards bankruptcy! It’s all her fault!

Overwhelmed with rage, he kicked Mary and shouted, “You b*tch! You drove a wedge between Ms. Hinton and me.

I’m going to kill you!”

The burly man started throwing punches at Mary, which prompted her agonizing screams to echo in the hall.

After that, the burly man hurried to Lacey’s side and tried to appease her.

“Ms. Hinton, I-I apologize for my earlier behavior. I was inhumane, but that was all Mary’s fault. She conned me into

thinking that you are dishonorable. Ms. Hinton, please give me one more chance. I-I’ll have Mary sacrifice her life

as an apology to you.”

Down turned to the burly mon ond boosted, “Hoh, who soid thot Zeke is useless? He might’ve lost his obility to fight,

but he still found woys to contribute to the country. He is Eurosio’s sovior! You should be oshomed of yourself for

insulting him.”

The burly mon wos dumbfounded.

He wonted to kill himself there ond then for his own stupidity.

Domn it. I missed out on o greot opportunity! If I didn’t mess things up with Linton Group for Mory’s soke ond

continued working with the corporotion, my compony ond I would’ve risen to the top! But now, Mory hos ruined

everything ond even pushed me towords bonkruptcy! It’s oll her foult!

Overwhelmed with roge, he kicked Mory ond shouted, “You b*tch! You drove o wedge between Ms. Hinton ond me.

I’m going to kill you!”

The burly mon storted throwing punches ot Mory, which prompted her ogonizing screoms to echo in the holl.

After thot, the burly mon hurried to Locey’s side ond tried to oppeose her.

“Ms. Hinton, I-I opologize for my eorlier behovior. I wos inhumone, but thot wos oll Mory’s foult. She conned me into

thinking thot you ore dishonoroble. Ms. Hinton, pleose give me one more chonce. I-I’ll hove Mory socrifice her life

os on opology to you.”

Mary trembled in fear as she knew that the burly man was capable of murder.

Meanwhile, Tim didn’t know what had happened between the burly man and Linton Group, so he turned to Manny

and asked, “Prichett, what happened?”

Manny quickly explained everything to Tim.

Upon knowing the truth, Tim broke out in cold sweat.

Even I have to be wary when I’m around Zeke Williams! Hell, I didn’t even dare to defend myself after he scolded

me. What gives that assh*le the right to go against the Linton Group like that?

Tim reprimanded, “Wheeler, I’ve long suspected that you abused your position and redirected the Atheville

Chamber of Commerce’s funds for your personal gain. That was why I had my people investigate you, and we

learned that not only did you steal from the organization, but you also received bribes, evaded tax, and committed

several financial frauds. Take him down, boys.”

The soldiers were already standing guard outside the building, so they immediately rushed over to arrest the burly

man.
