Lord Protector Novel

What?

Benjamin and Mr. Collins were dumbfounded.

After going through all the trouble to capture Rowan, the Great Marshal wants to let him go even before questioning him?

What is going on in the Great Marshal’s mind?

Mr. Collins said in an unsatisfied tone, “Great Marshal, thousands of our comrades from the Seal Mercenary have died at his hands. Why are you acquitting him so easily?”

Zeke responded, “Hold on, let me explain first. I found out that it was Connor from the Prince’s Residence who transferred Benjamin from Northern Xinjiang to Atheville. So the sniper who attacked me the other day was most likely sent by him.”

“Also, Connor is the main reason why Rowan managed to rise through the ranks from a small mercenary. As it turns out, Rowan is just his mere puppet. Back then, Connor had instructed him to massacre the Seal Mercenary. Since Rowan has told us everything, he should be released without charges,” he added.

Rowan interjected angrily, “I don’t know anyone named Connor. Also, when did I tell you everything? You’re just rambling nonsense! You actually believe what was said?”

Zeke then said, “Of course we don’t believe it. Nevertheless, your boss Connor would think you betrayed him once we let you go! If you didn’t, why would we release you? Tell me, what consequences would you face for betraying Connor?”

Mr. Collins and Benjamin looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.

The Great Marshal is such a devious rascal.

He is intentionally sowing discord.

Rowan almost blew his top.

You are the Great Marshal. How could do such a despicable thing!

Mr. Collins released Rowan and said, “You can leave now. I’m glad that you finally submitted to the Great Marshal!”

Nevertheless, Rowan refused to leave.

If he left Cygnus Room in one piece, Connor would suspect that he exchanged confidential information for his freedom, and his family would not be safe at that point.

What should I do?

Zeke took out Rowan’s confiscated phone and gave it to him, saying, “Oh right, a young girl called to look for you just now. I’ve sent some men to protect her.”

When Rowan saw the phone number, a cold shiver ran down his spine.

It was his daughter’s number.

He looked up at Zeke and said fiercely, “What are you trying to do to my daughter?”

Zeke replied, “Nothing. I just made sure she has undercover security. If you come clean, I promise your family will be safe. If not, my men will just stand aside and watch Connor attack your family.”

Rowan sank into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of each option.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and said, “I just want my family to be safe. Please ask your men to send them to this place.”
