Lord Protector Novel

“Traitor! I’ll kill all your family members!”

Little did he know that Zeke really did hold Scorpio hostage.

When Zeke was dealing with Senior Panther and Young Panther, he did not reveal his strength. He did so to give Mance the wrong impression that they could easily take him down.

“Shit. Now that Zeke has rescued Dawn, he would probably rescue Nancy next. If Nancy returns, she would be a threat to the opening ceremony of Raider Group,” muttered Mance to himself.

Mance was a perfectionist. He would not allow anyone to get in his way.

Nancy, guess I’ll just have to destroy you! Oh, yes. I heard she’s working on the Whiteridge tourist destination development project with Linton Group? If we sabotage the Whiteridge project, and the project fails, it just might be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. Ha! Let’s do this. I’m a genius!

The thought of it got him excited.

Yet, he was in a quandary about which candidate to choose to execute his plan.

First of all, the Hintons’ patriarch Aaron Hinton was out of the picture.

Nancy was his biological granddaughter, after all. He would not have the heart to kill her.

Michael Hinton! That’s right. Let’s get Michael to do this. Michael has been at loggerheads with her for quite some time. He must have had the thought of getting rid of her too.

Mance took out his phone and texted Michael. [Get rid of Nancy and take over her project in Whiteridge.]

He had only met Michael twice!

The first time they met each other was at a Michelin restaurant, where Michael made fun of him and Nancy for not being able to dine there. He was later beaten up quite badly.

The second time was when Michael visited him and apologized to him after learning his identity.

At that time, Mance thought this man was rather venomous, and he might be able to use him in future. Hence, he asked for his contact number.

Now the time had come.

...

At the Hinton family’s home in Riverdale.

Upon receiving Mance’s text message, Michael could not help but shudder.

What a cruel man Mance is. He wants Nancy dead?

Between his cousin, whom he viewed as his direct competitor in taking over the Hinton family, and an influential man, who could give him all the wealth he ever dreamed of, he would choose to side with the latter without a doubt.

Nancy should have been dead for years!

After deciding to carry out Mance’s plan, he walked towards the room where Nancy was locked in.

Of course, he did not plan to tell his grandpa Aaron about it.

Nancy was Aaron’s granddaughter, after all. He would have stopped him if he found out what Michael planned to do.

Besides, he could not kill her in the Hinton residence. It would be disastrous if the police made him the primary suspect of the murder case.

So, it was best to lure her to a godforsaken land, finish her off, and not leave a trace behind.
