Lord Protector Novel

Zeke waved his hand. “Of course. But, he is not the only one. Rowan’s rank is not high enough for him to risk arms smuggling and sell state secrets. There must be someone supporting him. Or a rank-and-file soldier like him could not take charge of a military factory. We must follow his tracks and find out who the mastermind behind him is.”

“

Wolf’s Greed replied, “Understood.”

Zeke then turned to Mr. Collins. “Have we found the source of the guns and ammunition?”

The latter shook his head. “There were no markings on the weapons. Someone has made privately them.”

Zeke nodded. “Rowan is our most likely suspect. He controls a military factory. To privately manufacture a batch of weapons would be very easy. He’s our only lead for now, so we can’t waste it.”

At that moment, Zeke’s phone rang.

It was Lacey.

After Zeke picked up, Lacey related everything about Rowan taking over Linton Group building in a choking voice.

After she finished, Zeke burst out laughing.

“The enemy has delivered himself to our doorstep. Just when we wanted to look for Rowan, he found us instead. Let’s go. It’s time we head to Linton Group to meet him.”

At Linton Group Tower, the company’s computers were thrown out of the building one by one.

Every time one of them crashed onto the ground, Lacey’s heart would shatter along with it.

The computers were not worth much, but the data they contained were very valuable.

Finally, the company’s main server was brought up to the roof and would be pushed off anytime.

Lacey was so nervous that she felt like suffocating.

The main server contained all the company’s data.

If the server were destroyed, Linton Group would lose half its market value in the best-case scenario.

In the worst case, it would be bankrupt.

In other words, the server was critical to the company’s existence.

As he looked at the server on the top floor, Rowan threatened, “I’ll give you one last chance. Either the company goes bust and you swim in debt, or receive two hundred million and enjoy yourselves. Your choice.”

Lacey was trapped between a rock and a hard place.

She didn’t want the company to go bust, but neither did she want to sell it to the enemy for virtually nothing.

She was speechless.

Rowan sighed, “You’re so stubborn you don’t know what’s good for you.”

As he waved toward the roof, the server which weighed half a ton came crashing down.

Lacey closed her eyes in despair as she couldn’t bring herself to see the server be destroyed.

However, after a long time, she heard nothing.

When she opened her eyes out of curiosity, she was stunned.

An old man was holding up the server by himself with both hands.
