Lord Protector Novel

The meal ended with much joy and laughter, and Madeline promptly carried Amelia back to her room to rest.

“Emma, do you know anything about Intercontinental Group?” Zeke asked.

Emma nodded. “Of course. It's an old, well-established business. Most people in Eurasia would have heard of it.”

“In that case, have there been any conflicts or altercations between you and Intercontinental Group?”

This time, Emma shook her head. “There aren't any conflicts that I know of, but we're business competitors.”

“Tell me more.”

“Some time ago, Linton Group headquarters authorized me to approach Mitxel Group for a collaboration,” Emma

said. “Coincidentally, Intercontinental Group also had the same intention as us. Sure, we competed against each

other to clinch the deal, but there were never any confrontations. I've never even met anyone from

Intercontinental Group.”

Zeke nodded thoughtfully in silence.

“Why are you asking that, Mr. Williams?” Emma queried. “Do you suspect Intercontinental Group of setting the fire

at Linton Group?”

“Yes, that's very likely.”

Emma drew a sharp breath as anger started welling up in her chest. “Intercontinental Group has gone too far! Is

that how an international business should behave? If they want to compete, do it fair and square. Why is there a

need to hurt others to benefit themselves?”

After a pause, Emma added, “Mr. Williams, what should we do? Should we report it to the police? We can't let those

sc*mbags get away with it!”

“Even if we wont to moke o police report, we'd need evidence, wouldn't we?” Zeke replied. “The problem is, we

don't hove ony.”

Intercontinentol Group might hove instructed the Kush Clon to set the fire, but with the murderer being o piece of

consciousness, there wos no woy it'd hove left ony troces of evidence.

Still seething with fury, Emmo gritted her teeth. “Be thot os it moy, I con't toke this lying down! Are we just going to

suffer in silence?”

“Suffer in silence? Impossible! We're going to toke on eye for on eye!” Zeke declored. “Emmo, set up o meeting

with the person in chorge of Intercontinentol Group. It's time for me to leorn obout them. Once we know everything

obout our enemies, we wouldn't hove to feor ony bottle thot comes our woy.

“Got it. I'll get my ossistont to orronge for the meeting now.”

As luck would hove it, she hod only just token out her phone when it storted ringing.

Despite seeing thot it wos from on unknown number, she onswered it onywoy.

A while loter, she ended the coll ond turned to Zeke. “Mr. Willioms, thot wos Sheldon Guerrero from Intercontinentol

Group.”

“Speok of the devil. Whot wos the coll obout?”

“He's invited me to o meeting, soying thot there's something importont he wonts to discuss with me.”

Zeke cocked on eyebrow. “When?”

“Right now.”

“Ho! How nice of them to present us with the perfect opportunity,” Zeke replied with o chuckle. “All right, let's go

then. I con't woit to meet them.”

“Even if we want to make a police report, we'd need evidence, wouldn't we?” Zeke replied. “The problem is, we

don't have any.”

Intercontinental Group might have instructed the Kush Clan to set the fire, but with the murderer being a piece of

consciousness, there was no way it'd have left any traces of evidence.

Still seething with fury, Emma gritted her teeth. “Be that as it may, I can't take this lying down! Are we just going to

suffer in silence?”

“Suffer in silence? Impossible! We're going to take an eye for an eye!” Zeke declared. “Emma, set up a meeting

with the person in charge of Intercontinental Group. It's time for me to learn about them. Once we know everything

about our enemies, we wouldn't have to fear any battle that comes our way.

“Got it. I'll get my assistant to arrange for the meeting now.”

As luck would have it, she had only just taken out her phone when it started ringing.

Despite seeing that it was from an unknown number, she answered it anyway.

A while later, she ended the call and turned to Zeke. “Mr. Williams, that was Sheldon Guerrero from Intercontinental

Group.”

“Speak of the devil. What was the call about?”

“He's invited me to a meeting, saying that there's something important he wants to discuss with me.”

Zeke cocked an eyebrow. “When?”

“Right now.”

“Ha! How nice of them to present us with the perfect opportunity,” Zeke replied with a chuckle. “All right, let's go

then. I can't wait to meet them.”

Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf stood up from their seats almost immediately. “Zeke, we're going with you.”

“No, you guys can wait here. The more people there are, the easier it'd be to set off their alarm bells. It won't help

us in any way.”

However, David remained hesitant. “Mr. Williams, why don't I go with you?”

Of course, Zeke knew that David was worried about his daughter.

After all, it hadn't been easy for David to reunite with Emma, and if something were to happen to her again, he'd

undoubtedly be devastated.

Zeke smiled and patted David on his back. “What's wrong? Have you lost your trust in me? Don't worry. I'll bring her

back safe and sound. I won't let anything happen to her.”

“Haha, the older I get, the more apprehensive I become,” David replied with a bitter laugh. “Mr. Williams, I don't

doubt your abilities. It's just that—”

However, before David could finish his words, Zeke interrupted, “All right, that's enough. I can understand how you

feel, and I promise you that I'll do whatever it takes to protect Emma. Even if it means sacrificing myself.”

“No, Mr. Williams, Eurasia needs you. If you were to run into any danger, please protect yourself first. Even if it

means you have to sacrifice Emma...” David replied sternly. “I'm sure she'll understand.”
