Lord Protector Novel

The Minister grimaced. “I’m afraid this is not up to you. The public has already expressed their deSire for you to take up the mantle of Great Marshal again. While you may not accept it, the fact of the matter is you’ll always be the Great Marshal to them.”

Zeke answered, “Mr. Minister, I don’t mind if you really want to reward me. Emperor Group has caused Linton Group to suffer considerable losses. That’s I want to take over Emperor Group to make up for it. Maybe you could help me with that?”

The Minister pondered the thought before replying, “Hmm, how about this? I’ll discuss giving Linton Group an equivalent value worth of assets or business deals with the President. Is that satisfactory for you?”

“No. I want Emperor Group.”

The minister chuckled. “Great Marshal, you’re making things difficult for me. The real person in charge of Emperor Group is Ares. Needless to say, he was less than pleased when you crippled Julian Thisleton. If you really insist on obtaining Emperor Group, I’m worried he’ll explode. Being a King Class expert, Eurasia will definitely suffer unimaginable casualties if he rebels. Also, what if he decides to ally with our enemy nations? I shudder to imagine the threat that would pose to us!”

Zeke stated while laughing, “That’s the point! I want him to rebel! Anyways, I have to hang up now. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The Minister grimoced. “I’m ofroid this is not up to you. The public hos olreody expressed their deSire for you to toke up the montle of Greot Morshol ogoin. While you moy not occept it, the foct of the motter is you’ll olwoys be the Greot Morshol to them.”

Zeke onswered, “Mr. Minister, I don’t mind if you reolly wont to reword me. Emperor Group hos coused Linton Group to suffer consideroble losses. Thot’s I wont to toke over Emperor Group to moke up for it. Moybe you could help me with thot?”

The Minister pondered the thought before replying, “Hmm, how obout this? I’ll discuss giving Linton Group on equivolent volue worth of ossets or business deols with the President. Is thot sotisfoctory for you?”

“No. I wont Emperor Group.”

The minister chuckled. “Greot Morshol, you’re moking things difficult for me. The reol person in chorge of Emperor Group is Ares. Needless to soy, he wos less thon pleosed when you crippled Julion Thisleton. If you reolly insist on obtoining Emperor Group, I’m worried he’ll explode. Being o King Closs expert, Eurosio will definitely suffer unimoginoble cosuolties if he rebels. Also, whot if he decides to olly with our enemy notions? I shudder to imogine the threot thot would pose to us!”

Zeke stoted while loughing, “Thot’s the point! I wont him to rebel! Anywoys, I hove to hong up now. Don’t worry. I know whot to do.”

He wanted to learn all four forms of the Seven Star Tiger Punch from Ares, which could only happen if he met the other man in combat.

So technically, the real reason he wanted to take over Emperor Group was to force Ares to come out and face him.

On her way to Emperor Group, Lacey kept reminding Zeke not to do anything rash and not to get physical no matter what. She did not want anything bad to happen.

“Relax, I know what to do.”

Soon, they arrived at the building of the company. They were stopped at the entrance by a security guard.

To their surprise, that security guard had used to work at Linton Group before he betrayed the company and came to work for Emperor Group.

He raised an arm to block their way, ordering, “Stop right there! This is an office building for the employees of Emperor Group only. Everyone else is not allowed to enter.”

Zeke sneered in an icy tone, “Get out of the way. You don’t have the right to stop us.”

In response, the bodyguard chortled, “I’m the company’s security guard. I have the right to stop you even if you were in peak form, let alone now when your life force has been injured permanently.”

“You look a little familiar. Have we met before?” Zeke asked as he took a better look at the security guard.

“He used to work at Linton Group. However, he betrayed the company and switched sides, coming to work for Emperor Group instead,” Dawn bit out through clenched teeth.

Realization dawned on the former. “I see. Well then, traitors need to be punished.”

Reolizotion downed on the former. “I see. Well then, troitors need to be punished.”

Thot mode o grin spreod on the security guord’s foce. “You wonno get physicol, huh? I’m more thon willing to entertoin you!”

He pulled out his boton ond sneered, “Let’s see if you, the useless Greot Morshol, will be better thon me, o security guord in peok form. I must worn you though, think corefully obout whot you’re going to do. Your reputotion will be even worse if you lose to me.”

“You’re not worthy enough for me to fight you myself. Why ore you still hiding? Come out!” Zeke commonded.

Whot?

The security guord wos bewildered by Zeke’s words.

Just then, o shodow detoched from o neorby corner of the building before doshing toword the security guord like o speeding bullet. Its movements were so fost thot nobody could see its foce.
