Lord Protector Novel

Zeke became the center of attention immediately.

He seemed calm; despite the quizzical looks everyone was giving him. “Lacey told me to do it. She wanted to invite him for our opening ceremony. It’s my duty to complete my wife’s requests.”

Everyone struggled to understand what he meant.

Lacey had just been joking, and no one would have expected him to actually send an invite to the Master Healer.

More importantly, everyone had underestimated just how capable Zeke Williams was!

“How did you get him to come?” Lacey asked.

“Simple. He owed me a favor,” Zeke said. “He’s just repaying me for my kindness.”

Lacey looked at Master Healer Lowe curiously. “Is that true, Mr. Lowe?”

The Master Healer nodded. “That is true. Mr. Williams once saved me from certain death.”

If Zeke had not given him some timely assistance back then, he would have lost his hard-earned reputation.

As a doctor, his reputation mattered more than his own life. It was not an exaggeration to say that Zeke had saved him from certain death.

The people at the scene gasped in realization.

Lacey looked at Zeke pleadingly. “Zeke, just how many secrets are you hiding? Just tell us everything!”

Zeke chuckled like a child.

You would be frozen in shock for the rest of the year if I tell you all my secrets!

Meanwhile, Mance Raider was fuming as he watched the crowd rush over to Linton Group.

His grand plan to monopolize the market was going to fail, but he refused to back down just yet.

He took a few steps forward and snarled, “Don’t celebrate just yet, Zeke Williams! General North knows about your unlawful advertisements! He told me that he’ll punish you as soon as possible. Linton Group won’t be spared from this!”

He looked at the crowds and yelled, “All of you will suffer too! You’re supporting a scammer! Get ready to face the music!”

The crowd began to back away from Linton Group out of fear.

Getting noticed by General North for the wrong reasons would not end well for them.

The commotion in front of Linton Group died down as quickly as it appeared.

Lacey and her party began to feel depressed all over again.

Lacey looked at Zeke. “What should we do?”

Zeke simply pulled out his phone to check the time. “Yeah, he should be here soon.”

Everyone was confused.

What do you mean by ‘he should be here soon’?

Suddenly, the buzz of the crowd returned.

“Oh my! Look at that! It’s another motorcade!”

“It’s so much grander than the one General North had!”

“Could this person be above General North?”

“Could it be... The Great Marshal himself?”

“Oh dear! Raider Group would be undefeatable if they managed to invite the Great Marshal!”

Everyone rushed to take a closer look at the motorcade.
