Lord Protector Novel

Yet, Zeke spoke up, “Don’t give up easily, Lacey. Let’s at least wait till the listing ceremony. Perhaps things might turn around for us.”

The women shook their heads. “How can we go public in this kind of condition? It’s nothing worth celebrating at all.”

“You’ll never know till you try,” answered Zeke.

At this time, Sharon Edward, the person-in-charge of Linton Group’s Nutel Entertainment walked in.

“I have bad news, Ms. Hinton. We’ve just received an announcement that Raider Group has invited Master Healer Lowe to attend their opening ceremony, and they promised that Master Healer Lowe would handpick ten patients and treat them for free.”

Sharon continued, “This announcement has topped the list of the trendiest news in search engines. The buzz that they created has almost the same impact as that of General North.”

What?

Lacey and the other women were dumbfounded. They then felt defeated.

Raider Group had successfully invited Master Healer Lowe to their opening ceremony!

So many royal families were willing to spend a fortune on him so he could administer treatment to their sick family members, and many of them were still on the waiting list.

In other words, it would be impossible for ordinary folks to receive Master Healer Lowe’s medical treatment.

Yet, Mance gave these people an opportunity to enjoy this special privilege. This would definitely draw a large crowd to Raider Group’s opening ceremony!

That’s the end of Linton Group. We are totally crushed.

Lacey cried in desperation, “Zeke, that’s it for Linton Group. It’s all over now. We might even have to declare bankruptcy and start from scratch in another city. The fact that Raider Group was able to invite General North and Master Healer Lowe to their ceremony shows that they’re truly formidable. What if they view Linton Group as their arch enemy? We can’t afford to compete with them.”

Zeke patted Lacey’s shoulder and turned around to look at Sharon. “Ms. Edward, please release an announcement and tell the public that General North and Master Healer Lowe will attend Linton Group’s listing ceremony.”

Huh?

All the women gave him a confused look.

What was this man trying to do?

Sharon felt awkward doing what Zeke told her to do. “Mr. Williams, I don’t think we should release fake news. This will undermine Nutel Entertainment’s credibility. Besides, it’ll also tarnish Linton Group’s reputation...”

Zeke said firmly, “Just do as I say.”

Sharon had no choice but to obey his instructions. “Alright then.”

Lacey and the rest all sighed repeatedly.

They thought Zeke must be trying to steal Raider Group’s spotlight by mentioning the two names, so the public could also pay attention to Linton Group’s listing ceremony.




But what was the point?

It was pointless to get the public’s attention when they could not solve the internal crisis in Linton Group. A fake announcement like this could even lower their credibility as a corporation.

But since they were about to declare bankruptcy, they just gave up and let him do what he wanted.

Zeke left the office and gave Master Healer Lowe a call. “I heard you’re going to attend Raider Group’s opening ceremony.”

Master Healer Lowe answered, “So you’ve heard about it. Yes, Raider Group did invite me. They promised to give me Rhodiola rosea if I go. I need it urgently to develop a new type of medicine, so I agreed.”

Zeke simply responded, “Raider Group is my arch enemy.”

Master Healer Lowe panicked. “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams. I had no idea before this. But I know what to do now.”

“Okay,” Zeke responded.

He sighed after ending the call.

Zeke never thought that the Rhodiola rosea was so precious that even the renowned Master Healer Lowe had to swallow his pride just to get his hands on the plant.

In fact, he knew the plant was grown all over an herb plantation in the Hill village when he visited the place before.
