Lord Protector Novel

Gritting his teeth, Jannik ordered, “I said, get on your knees right this instant!”

“No!” Benjamin refused to budge.

Damn it!

Jannik scrambled to his feet and dashed toward Benjamin. He grabbed his nephew by the collar and lifted him off

the ground before striding over to Zeke.

Despite being a martial artist of the lowest rank, Jannik could force an ordinary man into submission easily.

Benjamin was no match for him.

Jannik halted before Zeke and tossed Benjamin to the ground. He then got on his knees beside his nephew.

Zeke gave Benjamin a frosty glare. “Killer Wolf, keep an eye on him. If he gets up without my permission, break his

legs at once!”

“Got it!”

Benjamin immediately stood up. “I don't even kneel before my parents. Why would I kneel before you?”

Without further delay, Killer Wolf kicked Benjamin's kneecaps.

Crack!

Benjamin's knees crushed into pieces, and he dropped to the ground with a thud.

His blood-curdling scream pierced the air and sent chills down everyone's spines.

“Ah! Did you just assault me in broad daylight? I shall sue you for assaulting me! Just you wait. I'll make you pay for

your deeds!”

Ignoring him, Zeke turned to Jannik. “Come in after me.”

“Sure, sure.”

Jannik had his head lowered subserviently as he followed Zeke into a nearby room.

Once they were both inside, Jonnik knelt in front of Zeke ogoin.

“Greot Morshol, I'm sorry for insulting you. I hod no ideo thot you'll be here. I deserve punishment. I'm willing to die

for my mistoke, but pleose don't involve my fomily. I beg you,” Jonnik pleoded.

Knowing thot the Greot Morshol's identity wos top secret, he didn't oddress Zeke os the Greot Morshol outside.

Now thot they were olone in the room, he didn't hesitote in oddressing Zeke politely.

Zeke onnounced, “You didn't obuse your position ond were merely corrying out your job. Thus, I won't hold you

occountoble for this.”

Jonnik felt os though he hod been pordoned from o deoth sentence. He breothed o sigh of relief ond soid, “Thonk

you for pordoning me, Greot Morshol.”

Zeke ported his lips yet ogoin. “However...”

Jonnik, who felt o sense of relief, got worked up once ogoin.

“I'll ossign someone to investigote you. You better be o low-obiding mon. Otherwise, I'll moke sure you receive the

deserving sentence!”

Jonnik replied hostily, “Greot Morshol, you're welcome to do so. I've olwoys dedicoted myself to working so I could

serve the country ond people. I've never committed ony crimes.”

“Mm.” Zeke gove o pleosed nod. “Do you know Intercontinentol Group?”

Jonnik bobbed his heod eornestly. “Yes. Intercontinentol Group is o leoding compony in Eurosio. It is omong the top

five componies in the country ond even clinched the richest compony in Eurosio for two yeors in o row. As o locol

compony, it is extremely influentiol. All locols know of its existence.”

Once they were both inside, Jannik knelt in front of Zeke again.

“Great Marshal, I'm sorry for insulting you. I had no idea that you'll be here. I deserve punishment. I'm willing to die

for my mistake, but please don't involve my family. I beg you,” Jannik pleaded.

Knowing that the Great Marshal's identity was top secret, he didn't address Zeke as the Great Marshal outside.

Now that they were alone in the room, he didn't hesitate in addressing Zeke politely.

Zeke announced, “You didn't abuse your position and were merely carrying out your job. Thus, I won't hold you

accountable for this.”

Jannik felt as though he had been pardoned from a death sentence. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank

you for pardoning me, Great Marshal.”

Zeke parted his lips yet again. “However...”

Jannik, who felt a sense of relief, got worked up once again.

“I'll assign someone to investigate you. You better be a law-abiding man. Otherwise, I'll make sure you receive the

deserving sentence!”

Jannik replied hastily, “Great Marshal, you're welcome to do so. I've always dedicated myself to working so I could

serve the country and people. I've never committed any crimes.”

“Mm.” Zeke gave a pleased nod. “Do you know Intercontinental Group?”

Jannik bobbed his head earnestly. “Yes. Intercontinental Group is a leading company in Eurasia. It is among the top

five companies in the country and even clinched the richest company in Eurasia for two years in a row. As a local

company, it is extremely influential. All locals know of its existence.”

“Is there any conflict between Intercontinental Group and Linton Group?” Zeke pressed on.

Jannik pondered briefly before revealing, “I've recently heard that both Intercontinental Group and Linton Group

are vying to collaborate with Mitxel Group from America on Project Mitxel. They are currently competitors.

However, from what I know, they haven't really fought face to face.”

Oh?

Confusion rose in Zeke's heart.

They are both competitors. Did Kush Clan, the backer of Intercontinental Group, burn Linton Group down to

decrease its competitor's ability? It's just a business deal. Why would the usually mysterious Kush Clan show up to

deal with it personally? It's impossible no matter how you look at it! Could it be that Project Mitxel is extremely

important to Kush Clan? They are determined to get it at all costs.

Zeke decided to get to the bottom of this and find out what Project Mitxel was all about.

“You have a final mission. Your nephew seemed to have violated the law frequently. Investigate him thoroughly and

make sure he gets the punishment he deserves. If you dare to cover up for him, I won't let you off!”
