Lord Protector Novel

In the video, a burly man passed the griffin badge to Harry personally. He even reminded Harry to serve the nation well and not disappoint the people of Eurasia.

It's really Great Marshal! Oh my God! I didn't expect Harry to be related to Great Marshal.

Since the griffin badge represented Great Marshal, Bill fell to his knees in front of Harry without hesitation.

“Greetings, Great Marshal. I'm Bill Zimmer. I sincerely apologize for offending you earlier. Harry, please... please forgive me. I was being too ignorant!”

Harry was overjoyed.

It feels so good now that my superior is groveling to me and seeking my forgiveness!

Feeling good about himself, Harry said, “It's fine, Mr. Zimmer. We are acquaintances, so you don't have to stand on ceremony with me.”

Only then did Bill stand up carefully. “Harry... No, Mr. Hudson, I didn't know that you've been appointed by Great Marshal personally. It's a waste of your talent if you remain as a mere superintendent. I'm lacking a deputy now. Why don't you work for me?”

Harry panicked and quickly refused, “Thank you, Mr. Zimmer. However, I'd rather stay here for now. I don't have any plans to leave yet.”

Bill replied, “Mr. Hudson, are you worried that there'll be no one taking care of your wife and children here? Just leave it to me. I'll find a better job for your wife. As for your children, I'll send them to an elite school. My children are studying there too. They can take care of each other.”

Bill was planning ahead.

Since Harry is taking over Great Marshal's role, it means that he's Great Marshal's apprentice. His future would definitely be bright. At the very least, he'll be three ranks higher than me. If I build a good relationship with him, it'll only benefit me.

However, Harry still refused. “I'm sorry, Mr. Zimmer. I'm still not experienced enough, so people might gossip if I suddenly become your deputy. It's better if I just wait it out. I'd like to make my way up by relying on my abilities.”

Harry refused because he had his own plans.

Great Marshal's mission for him was to protect Linton Group and Lacey. If he left the place to become Bill's deputy, it would be harder for him to manage Linton Group.

If this made Great Marshal unhappy, he would have ruined his future.

However, Bill refused to give up yet and continued persuading Harry.

In the end, Harry had no choice but to admit honestly, “Mr. Zimmer, let me be honest with you. Actually, Great Marshal's task for me requires that I stay here. If I leave this place, I'll be disobeying his instructions.”
