Lord Protector Novel

Robert arched his brows in disbelief when he heard Zeke. He asked, “Are you serious?”

Instead of answering his question, Zeke asked, “Do I look like I'm kidding? I have no intention to lie against a nobody like you!”

“That's more like it!” Robert ignored the pain he felt and reached for his phone.

Seconds after Adrian answered the call, Robert gasped out his request, “A-Adrian, I need your help! This is an emergency! I want you to gather everyone to save me! As long as you save me, I'll grant you everything you desire, including the share of United Group!”

A few seconds later, the man nodded and hung up the call. He turned around and glared at Zeke, thinking Zeke wouldn't get to make it out alive once Adrian joined them at the headquarter.

On the other hand, Adrian was in a state of bewilderment after he hung up the call with Robert.

He remained seated in his exclusive room at Royal Casino until he had everything in mind sorted out.

What kind of emergency is it? What's going on with Robert? It must be something life-threatening! If not, there's no way he's offering the share of United Group!

As much as he tried to make sense of the situation, Adrian thought it wasn't time to question the details since Robert's life was at stake.

He turned around and instructed Edmund, “I want you to gather everyone! Tell them to join us at the headquarter of United Group immediately!”

Edmund gasped in silence. A few seconds later, he asked, “Is everything fine, Mr. Conrad?”

Adrian let out a long sigh and answered, “Robert has requested my aid to resolve a crisis. It seems like he's in a life-threatening situation.”

Edmund's pupils constricted as he was certain Zeke had returned to get his revenge against Robert.

He knew it was only a matter of time until Robert and Adrian would be taken out.

Adrian urged, “Hello? Can you hear me? What's taking you so long? Just get going and gather everyone!”

Once Edmund returned to his senses, he stuttered, “O-Okay! I-I'll gather everyone at once.”

When Edmund was a step away from the entrance, Adrian murmured to himself, “I'm afraid not even you possess the capability to resolve the crisis! Just to be safe, I'll tag along in case of the worst!”

Edmund nodded and played along with Adrian when he knew Adrian was about to take a one-way trip to hell. After all, their foe was none other than the almighty Great Marshal.

In less than half an hour, Edmund gathered more than three thousand men at the entrance of the casino.

Adrian was proud of the party he had gathered. He was sure no one was capable of turning the table against him.

He had faith in the ones he gathered and instructed them to depart.

Others were afraid of getting in their way since there were so many of them.

Almost everyone, including the high-rank officials of the city, was aware Adrian was the one leading the rest.

In spite of the upcoming bloodshed, they turned a blind eye since Adrian had dropped by to pay them a visit beforehand.
