Lord Protector Novel

Could it be a newly found disease? After all, I haven't paid close attention to the latest development in the medical field for several years.

After giving it some thought, Zeke took out his phone to call the person in charge of the Cygnus Room.

Soon, a man with an elderly-sounding voice answered the call. “Great Marshal, good morning.”

Without wasting time, Zeke asked for the information he wanted. “Mr. Ladkins, may I ask if you've heard of Horzdo-hidrosis?”

Mr. Ladkins was dumbfounded once he heard the term. “Did you say Horzdo-hidrosis? What is that? Please don't tell me it's a disease.”

Zeke replied, “Yes, someone told me it's a rare disease.”

Instantly, Mr. Ladkins rebutted, “Nonsense. It's a complete bullsh*t. I know every type of disease in the world and have never heard of it. I'm confident that such a disease doesn't exist. I've only heard of hyperhidrosis. Anyway, Horzdo-hidrosis sounds too lowly.”

Meanwhile, a thought flashed across Zeke's mind when Mr. Ladkins mentioned hyperhidrosis.

Could the attending physician make up a disease's name with the term hyperhidrosis?

He purposely claimed that it's a nearly incurable disease to con us!

Later, Zeke asked Lacey, “Lacey, how much did the attending physician ask for the medical fee?”

Lacey answered honestly. “Based on his conservative estimate, it would cost fifty million!”

Fifty million!

Zeke nearly jumped in alarm.

Now I can confirm the attending physician wants to scam us of our money!

As Zeke was deep in thought, Dawn took a deep breath. “Fifty million! I don't want to get the treatment—”

Lacey interjected, “Dawnie, I won't talk to you if you spew nonsense again. If something happens to you, I'm better off dead as well! Even if the surgery costs five hundred million, I'm willing to spend it to make sure that you recover.”

Dawn heaved a sigh and said, “Lacey, considering our company's situation, I think we can't even withdraw five million in cash from it.”

Although Lacey understood the difficulty, she reassured Dawn, “No worries. I've thought about the way to get the money. I've decided to sell the company building.”

Nancy quickly interrupted, “Well, you guys don't have to be that pessimistic. Didn't Zeke say he could cure Dawnie's illness? If Zeke can do it, we don't have to worry about getting the money to foot the medical bill.”

Lacey nodded in response. “You're right. Dawnie, Zeke can cure your illness. Don't worry about it.”

While they were talking, Zeke frowned deeply, for he had sensed that something was off in Lacey's words.

Lacey is forced to sell Linton Group's headquarters!

Once Linton Group sells its headquarters, it will also declare bankruptcy.

Now, who wishes to see Linton Group go bankrupt the most?

No doubt, it's Daisy from Eminent Group.

Zeke began to suspect that it was Daisy's plot to force Lacey to sell the headquarters.

After a while, Zeke asked Lacey tentatively, “Lacey, did anyone contact you and ask to acquire the headquarters of Linton Group?”
