Lord Protector Novel

Mr. Blackwood was surprised because he had never once received a call from General Cosmopolis.

He answered the call promptly and replied politely.

However, the moment he hung up, he shuddered and collapsed to the ground, in front of John and Theodore.

He dropped his phone as a dejected look crossed his face.

“What’s wrong?” Theodore and John asked anxiously because they could no longer hold back their curiosity.

They could not wait to figure out what had happened.

In return, Mr. Blackwood uttered in a quivering voice, “I... I have received an order from the Great Marshal. I... It seems as though I’d been expelled from the military.”

What!

Theodore and John were dumbfounded by Mr. Blackwood’s words.

However, Theodore calmed himself as he assured Mr. Blackwood, “That’s impossible! You’re nothing but a trivial commander! The Great Marshal can’t possibly be aware of your presence!”

Gradually, John returned to his senses as well. He reassured the dejected man, “He’s right, Mr. Blackwood. Unless Zeke is affiliated with the Great Marshal, it’s impossible for the Great Marshal to have been aware of such a trivial incident! If he truly were acquainted with such a noble figure, he wouldn’t have had such a hard time dealing with those from the Lewis family and the Williams family. I’m certain that you’ve been deceived, Mr. Blackwood!”

“That would be impossible because the General Cosmopolis was the one who had made the call personally,” Mr. Blackwood responded.

What!

Unmistakably, Theodore and John were shocked. Their faces paled all of a sudden. If that was the case, Zeke might have been a close acquaintance of the Great Marshal as they had suspected.

Theodore took a seat in his chair because he felt light-headed all of a sudden.

If Zeke is a close acquaintance of the Great Marshal, doesn’t that mean that I’d been playing with fire all along, since I’d picked on him repeatedly?

John recalled something when they were about to fall into a vicious cycle of despair. He told everyone, “I saw something previously! It’s impossible for Zeke to be a close acquaintance of the Great Marshal. Previously, when we were there to take Zeke into custody, I saw a government official’s ride passing by on the street. I’m certain that the Great Marshal was the one who was inside the car. Perhaps he had delivered the instructions because he was aware of what had happened.”

Since John’s statement appeared to be logical and trustworthy, the dejected Mr. Blackwood and Theodore finally felt a sense of relief.

Not before long, Theodore heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “That must be the case! It must have been a coincidence. I can’t believe that I’d almost bought into the idea that Zeke was a close acquaintance of the Great Marshal. I must have lost my mind! Forget about it. If that’s the case, I’ll personally drop by since the Sullivan family is backing me up. Although my identity as the mastermind of the incident that had occurred in Black Pentagon might have been exposed, they’d be able to easily get rid of the potential consequences on my behalf. I shouldn’t have been afraid of Zeke, since he’s nothing but an ordinary citizen!”

John suggested, “Sir, Harry was but a slave of the Sullivan family, right? Is it really necessary for you to show up to retrieve the corpse? I mean, it’s not worthy of your time and energy, right? Perhaps we should forget about it as well.”



“You’re wrong, John. This is the mission assigned to me by the Sullivan family. If I can’t complete the mission, I can’t possibly prove myself worthy. If that’s the case, they won’t place great emphasis on me anymore in the future,” Theodore replied, explaining the rationale behind his actions.

Ultimately, John nodded and expressed his acknowledgment.

Suddenly, Mr. Blackwood broke the silence and asked, “Theodore, w... What should I do next? Since I have been expelled by the Great Marshal, it’s over for me!”

Theodore peeked over at Mr. Blackwood. His eyes glinted with strong, murderous intent. Mr. Blackwood could no longer be of use to him since he had been expelled.

In fact, if the Great Marshal were to come after the mastermind behind it, he might eventually discover that Theodore was the one behind everything. Therefore, Theodore knew that he had to take Mr. Blackwood out as well.

He took a deep breath and replied, “Allow me to introduce you to another friend of mine. For the time being, you should take cover at his place.”

“Alright!” Mr. Blackwood answered immediately. He did not even bother to hesitate at all.

Soon, Theodore brought Mr. Blackwood into a confined space.
