Lord Protector Novel

John merely smiled and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mance. I didn’t know Jeffrey would be at the cocktail. I thought I would tell you after it was over.”

Mance rolled his eyes at his response. I would be a fool to believe a word you say. You are such an evil man!

You saw how I underestimated the rival! You made me embarrass myself intentionally just so I would have my eyes on the enemy!

John quickly changed the topic. “Mance, he is going to come out of the coma in a month because of Zeke. Disaster is going to happen if he awakes and points out Boss. Hence, you only have a month to execute the Big Plan.”

Mance replied coldly, “A month? You underestimate me. To tell you the truth, the Big Plan has already started. I guarantee that Zeke Williams will die in ten days. Not only will I kill him, but I will also carve him open and take his heart out!”

“Also, have you invited General North to attend the launch party like I told you to?”

John nodded. “I’ve already sent the invitation card, but General North has not replied. I’m not sure whether he’s coming.”

Mance replied, “Alright. Put out the news that General North will be attending Raider Group’s launch party.”

“Mm?” John was slightly taken aback.

“Mance, perhaps I didn’t make myself clear earlier, or you misheard me,” He noted.

“General North didn’t agree to come to the launch party,” He clarified.

Mance said, “In today’s world, only those who are daring and take risks will succeed. Without courage, you will never achieve anything! It would be nice if he can come. But if not, I will just get someone to pretend that he’s General North.”

The color immediately drained from John’s face as he reminded, “Mance, it’s an offence to pass off as a military officer. It can get you beheaded! This plan sounds very daring, but if I were to be blunt, it sounds rasher and more reckless...”

Mance remarked, “Why are you panicking?”

“General North is an important man who has a busy itinerary every day. He wouldn’t even take note of this. Also, even if we get exposed, we will just get the impostor to be the scapegoat.”

He continued, “All we have to do is to deny the whole incident and say that we thought that he was the real General North since we never met him before. Just push all fault to that impostor.”

John’s heart raced quickly, and he hesitated, “I still think it’s not a foolproof plan...”

Mance immediately turned upset and snapped, “Alright, let’s leave it as it is. It’s been decided. Have you brought the two whom I asked you to search for?”

John nodded. “Yes, they are here. However, why did you decide to save them? They are such insignificant figures.”

Mance replied, “You are clueless. Normally, these insignificant figures can become extremely useful. Our plan depends on these two.”

“Bring them in.”

“Alright,” John waved towards the door, and a couple entered.

They were none other than Zeke Williams’ ex-girlfriend, Emily Clemons, and her brother, Sam Clemons.

They had been sent to prison by Zeke Williams. The former had been charged with trafficking and consuming drugs, while the latter was accused of murder.

The duo thought they would spend the rest of their life in prison.

It was unexpected John would rescue them out of that place.

However, it was all weird because they did not know John.

All he told them was that this was all his boss’ wish.

Emily Clemons looked at Mance with uncertainty and asked, “You are John’s boss? Were you the one who wanted to save us?”

Mance nodded with a faint smile. “Yes.”

“Who are you? Why would you do that?” Emily asked.
