Lord Protector Novel

Harry replied, “Our initial investigation points to the culprit being the Dullioud of the North. We're not sure if someone else is behind the Dullioud, pulling their strings, though. Further investigation would be needed.”

The Dullioud of the North?

Confused, Lacey asked, “What's a Dullioud?”

She was just a regular citizen, so it was normal for her to know nothing about the Dullioud.

Harry didn't bother to explain anything, though. He simply said, “This issue is a little complicated, Ms. Hinton, so I think it's better if you talk to the Great Marshal about it. Please let him determine what the best course of action is.”

Lacey replied, “I thought about asking Zeke to help as well, but he is too busy. He has so much on his plate and has to make sure that everything in Eurasia functions as it should. How can I possibly further burden him with something as minor as this?”

Harry firmly informed, “I'll be honest with you then, Ms. Hinton. This is definitely not a minor issue. It is so grave that your life hangs in the balance... Actually, it might even threaten the safety of Eurasia.”

What?

Lacey was so surprised that her heart thumped faster. “This is just normal corporate competition and dispute, right? How can that possibly threaten Eurasia? Mr. Hudson, a-are you making up this story to scare me?”

Harry shook his head and answered, “Of course not. Everything I said earlier is true. You have no idea how powerful the Dullioud is, so please, tell the Great Marshal about this immediately.”

Lacey panicked when she heard how the issue might get Eurasia in danger. She didn't dilly dally and called Zeke right away.

The number she dialed was Zeke's personal number, and less than five people have access to it.

Hence, the call was picked up almost as soon as the line was established.

Zeke's powerful voice carried a hint of tenderness and love when he spoke. “Lacey, what got you to call me?”

Lacey's voice was filled with sorrow and disappointment when she asked, “Zeke, are you busy?”

Zeke replied, “What's wrong, Lacey? Why do you sound unhappy? Did someone mess with you?”

Lacey sighed and answered, “Yeah, someone did come after Linton Group.”

She told him every single thing that had happened after that.

Hearing the story made Zeke burn with rage. “F*ck that a*shole! How dare he insult my wife? I'll kill him.”

Lacey replied, “Zeke, that is not the point. The point is that Dullioud thing. It might get Eurasia in danger, and I think that is rather important. That is why I'm calling you to tell you about it.”

Zeke instructed, “Lacey, go to Harry right now. He will protect you. Don't worry. I will hurry home right away, and I promise I won't let anything happen to you again.”

Naturally, Zeke knew how powerful Dullioud was. That was a group of people who didn't fear death and would risk their lives just to kill Lacey.

Harry, who had been standing at the side, immediately replied, “Don't worry, Great Marshal. I will stay by Ms. Hinton's side and ensure her safety. In fact, I will lay down my life to protect your wife, so please rest assured.”
