Lord Protector Novel

To put it plainly, he wanted Zeke to become his successor.

“I’m sorry, I don’t favor tea.” Zeke smiled and made a tacit statement.

Hades was slightly disappointed. “Well, I respect your decision. I’ll invite you for tea if you ever change your mind.”

With that, Hades left.

Zeke pulled out his phone and gave Sole Wolf a call, “Sole Wolf, help me check on Caleb Castaneda who is serving in the Northern Xinjiang Military District.”

“Also, look up on his family background.”

“Roger that!” Sole Wolf answered.

......

Emily and Madeleine walked their way home. They have sold their car to raise money to save Sam Clemons, Emily’s brother.

Recently, Madeleine was planning to sell their house as well.

Logan was the one who fetched them when they first came to Love in a Fallen City.

However, now Logan had no time to care about them since he was in deep trouble himself.

On their way home, people on the streets were all talking about the sudden snowfall.

“A sudden snowfall is always coupled with tragedy. Now it’s snowing in the mid of June, is it a telltale sign of a disaster?”

“Nonsense! I heard from the news that a rich man has prepared the snowfall to propose to the love of his life.”

“What?! You must be joking! Even if he is rich, how is it possible for him to control the weather?”

“You know nothing about it. That rich man is capable of hiring more than ten aircraft to produce the snowfall effect.”

“Oh, and I’ve heard that Hades and the eight gang leaders have also come to support him. Each one of them has prepared one hundred million worth of money gifts.”

“I’ve heard that a high-ranking officer addressed the rich man ‘Sir’ in front of everyone.”

“Holy moly, now I agree that money is everything!”

Emily sped off as she felt even more miserable as the townspeople’s voices found their way into her ears.

I’m the one who’s supposed to be the heroine in the limelight!

But mom ruined my future because of her greed!

I hate her!

The two reached their neighborhood shortly after. Madeleine could no longer hold her sorrow, so she let out a wail.

“Oh, my poor son! There’s no hope to bail him out of jail now!”

“Now even Logan Hugh has submitted to that devil. Oh, Sam! My dear son, how can I save you?”

Her loud wail had attracted the public’s attention.

Emily was embarrassed and she quickly halted Madeleine. “Mom, stop crying. Everyone’s staring at us.”

Emily’s words ignited Madeleine’s fury. “Emily Clemons, what do you mean? Your brother is going to spend the rest of his life in prison! Am I not allowed to cry?”

“Look at you, you’re indifferent! Don’t you want your brother out of prison?”

“Bear in mind that once you get married, you’re counting on your brother to stand up for you if your husband’s family treats you badly...”

Madeleine’s eyes gleamed all of a sudden and said excitedly, “Emi, I have a great idea to save your brother. You’re beautiful. You can marry a high-ranking official or maybe become their mistress! The higher their position, the better! They could get your brother out of jail effortlessly.”
