Lord Protector Novel

“Is that so?” Caleb said with a slightly apologetic tone. “Mr. Zachary, you should have reminded me before everything. I was under the impression that your main target was Linton Group. What about this? Mr. Zachary, if you transfer another two billion, I’ll get my boss to personally talk to the National Security Service and ensure that Zeke Williams dies painfully and tragically.”

“You need more money?” Gavin asked in anger.

“Mr. Zachary, please make a decision as soon as possible. We’re running out of time,” Caleb said.

Henry started pleading, “God-father, no matter how much money it takes, Zeke Williams must die. If needed, I’ll- I’ll agree to your previous proposition.”

Gavin glared at Henry before gritting his teeth. “Okay. I’ll transfer the money instantly.”

Caleb replied, “Nice. In half an hour, you can drop by to collect the bodies of Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton.”

After hanging up, Gavin walked out. “Come on, Henry. We’re going to Linton Group. I want to see Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton die with my own eyes.”

“Okay, sure!” Henry followed hurriedly, holding onto Gavin’s arm. “God-father, you’re the best!”

In about twenty minutes, the two of them had reached the Linton Group.

There were only ten more minutes until the time Caleb had claimed they could watch Zeke and Lacey die.

In the CEO’s office, Lacey was nagging at Zeke and Dawn. “Where did you two run off to? The company needs all the help we can get right now. Oh, right, Dawnie, have you contacted Paul Venture Capitalist yet?”

Dawn quickly replied, “Yup. He said the money was entered into the wrong account by accident, and that it was sent to us. However, they’re too lazy to go through with the procedure to take the money back because it’s apparently too much of a hassle. That’s why they’re investing it in us.”

Lacey nodded, seemingly in deep thought. “As expected, a business of their size is pretty generous. They barely even see 1.5 billion as money.”

At that very moment, the door was kicked open. Henry and Gavin walked in as they laughed maniacally. They sat down as if they owned the place.

“Ms. Hinton! I hope you’re doing well,” Gavin scoffed.

Lacey’s expression was cold. “Who let you two in? Get out.”

Gavin smirked. “As the CEO of this company, you have absolutely zero manners. You deserve to be shut down. Henry, how much longer do they have?”

“Five minutes,” Henry replied.

“Then we’ll wait patiently for another five minutes,” Gavin said in glee.

Lacey was confused. “What are you two going on about?”

“Are you really stupid or are you pretending?” Gavin rolled his eyes. “Linton Group has been involved in illegal dealing of military weaponry. You’ve already caught the attention of the National Security Service.”

“Liar,” Lacey said. “Military weaponry is an absolute red zone law-wise in Eurasia. We wouldn’t just set ourselves up for failure. Don’t try to frame us.”

Gavin just replied, “We’ll see whether that’s true or false in five more minutes.”

Lacey tried to say something, but Zeke cut her off. “Lacey, ignore them. These two lunatics forgot to take their medicine today. Just do what you need to do.”
