Lord Protector Novel

General North nodded. “Get me the manager of the Linton Group medical services division.”

The assistant jogged over to Linton Group and asked the staff, “May I ask if the manager of your medical division is around? General North would like to meet him.”

The staff began to panic.

Why did General North take a sudden interest in Linton Group?

Are we going to suffer just like Raider Group?

Zeke looked at Daniel and smiled. “Dad, you’re the manager. You should go and meet General North. Maybe he wants to reward you.”

Daniel took a deep breath and told the assistant, “That would be me.”

I’ll be glad if I can make it out of there alive...

He rushed over to General North’s side on unsteady legs.

“N-nice to meet you, G-General North. I’m Daniel Hinton, th-the manager of Linton Group’s medical division!” he stammered.

General North hummed approvingly and said, “The new drug that your company and Reinz Pharmaceutical jointly produced has saved plenty of lives in my battalions. Well done.”

Wow!

Daniel was overwhelmed with happiness.

He had just been praised by General North!

His ancestors would be proud of him.

General North waved his hand again. “Bring me my calligraphy tools.”

Within seconds, a table was set up with a scroll, ink and brush sitting on it.

General North picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink and swept it across the paper, producing the words ‘Conscientious Business’ in large, dark letters. He handed the scroll over to Daniel and said, “Thank you for saving the lives of my men. Here is a little something I would like to give in return.”

Daniel could almost cry tears of joy from looking at the scroll in his hand.

How is this ‘a little something’?

This is absolutely priceless!

It could become the lucky charm of Linton Group.

Those words would make them almost invincible against the scheming con artists in the industry.

Daniel did not know what to do besides bowing to General North over and over again while repeating the words, “Thank you! Thank you so much, General North!”

“Retreat!” General North ordered, before getting onto his limousine and leaving the scene.

Sole Wolf had wanted to attend the opening ceremony of Linton Group to raise its reputation, but Zeke was concerned that Lacey and Dawn would recognize him from the construction sites, where he spent months moving bricks.

That was why Zeke told Sole Wolf to write those words for Linton Group instead.

The crowd buzzed as General North disappeared into the distance.

Mance, who had been basking in the limelight just moments ago, had fallen from grace in just seconds. He might even be facing the death penalty for the crimes he had committed.

The opening ceremony had become a funeral, while Linton Group made an impressive comeback and made themselves the star of the day.
