Lord Protector Novel

Ryker nodded. “That’s what I was thinking about too. The Great Marshal will be arriving soon. Let’s have some patience.”

Zeke uttered, “Actually, the Great Marshal has arrived. However, he didn’t reveal himself. It’s true that the Great Marshal treasures his men, but these few soldiers are bullies, and they’ve abused their power. They’re not soldiers. It’s impossible for the Great Marshal to stand up for you.”

Ryker spat, “You’re lying through your teeth. Whenever the Great Marshal travels, a troop of soldiers will be escorting him. How can we not know if he has arrived? Stop looking for excuses.”

Zeke shrugged. “If the Great Marshal does come, you can consider yourself the winner.”

Robin jeered, “I can prove that the Great Marshal is here. Didn’t this guy just say that he’s the Great Marshal?”

“Hahaha!”

Everyone laughed.

Before they stopped laughing, a group of men swarmed in and surrounded the hall.

Ryker recognized them with one glance... Atheville’s military.

The leading man was Colonel David Lowe.

Thinking that the colonel was the escort for the Great Marshal, the crowd swiftly stood up to welcome the Great Marshal.

Meanwhile, Ryker sped out in preparation to invite the Great Marshal into the hall.

However, David stopped him. “Stop right there. Do not leave the hall without permission.”

Ryker anxiously uttered, “Let me out to welcome the Great Marshal. If the Great Marshal is neglected even for a second, you’ll be the one to bear the consequences.”

David shook his head. “Great Marshal? We’re not here to escort him.”

Huh? They’re not?

Ryker’s heart sank. “Then you must be here for the wedding. Please, take a seat.”

Conrad was glad.

He had not thought that Ryker would be putting so much effort into the wedding.

Not only did he invite the Great Marshal, rather, but he had also invited the army.

However, having the Great Marshal alone was more than enough for the event.

Inviting the men from Atheville’s military was a superfluous act.

David shook his head again. “We’re not here for the wedding. I’m here to arrest you.”

Arrest me?

A shudder ran down Ryker’s spine. “Why are you arresting me?”

David coldly replied, “Ryker Lewis, you have been reported for sheltering criminals and allowing your family to kill. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”

The color drained from Ryker’s face.

F***. It’s already been exposed?

It’ll affect the wedding if I’m arrested now, but most importantly, I’ll leave a bad impression on the Great Marshal!

No. I can’t be arrested.

Ryker hurriedly spat out, “Y... You can’t arrest me. I have to welcome the Great Marshal later. You can’t afford to bear the responsibility for making the Great Marshal upset.”

As expected, David was put in a tight spot. “Great Marshal? He’s coming to attend the wedding?”

Ryker answered, “Of course. He’s about to arrive. I’m going to call him now.”
