Lord Protector Novel

“Rhett, after struggling against each other for our entire lives, it's time to end our conflict. Remember what you always said when you lost to me previously? 'He who laughs last, laughs best.' Look, am I not the one laughing last now? Go now in peace. Don't worry. I'll take good care of the Mitxel family.”

After Jared gave his bodyguards a call, they quickly arrived in the room.

The gruesome scene that greeted the bodyguards caused their faces to lose all color and their bodies to shudder.

Obviously, they weren't shocked by the sight of the corpse, for they were used to seeing dead men all the time.

Instead, they were taken aback by the fact that Jared would actually kill his own brother, Rhett.

Since it was an internal family affair, the bodyguards didn't comment, as their responsibility was to execute Jared's instructions.

Upon regaining their composure, they looked calmly at Jared. “Mr. Jared, how can we be of service?”

Jared threw his blood-stained handkerchief to them. “Take care of this corpse.”

“Understood!”

With one in front and the other at the back, the bodyguards carried Rhett's body out.

Suddenly, Jared added, “By the way, I suppose both of you know him.”

The statement confused the two bodyguards, who were oblivious to Jared's intentions.

Rhett is like half a boss to us, so how can we not know him? Why is Mr. Jared asking the obvious?

Jared began to grow exasperated. “I'm asking you a question. Do you know him or not?”

The two bodyguards nodded carefully. “Mr. Jared, isn't he your brother—”

“Shut up!”

They didn't expect Jared to be further infuriated. “He isn't my brother. Rhett was killed by Zeke long ago. And now, I'm going to take down Linton Group to exact revenge on my brother's behalf! As for this man, I don't even know him at all. He barged in all of a sudden, trying to assassinate me. I had no choice but to kill him in self-defense.”

It quickly dawned upon the bodyguards that Jared wanted them to keep their mouths shut.

Hence, they nodded at once. “Understood, Mr. Jared. We don't know him either. He's an assassin sent here to kill you, and you were forced to kill him in self-defense.”

Only then did Jared give a satisfactory nod. “Yes, that's the story. All right, just get rid of the body first.”

“Understood!”

Once the two bodyguards were gone, Jared let out a sigh of disappointment.

“Those two guys are really dim-witted. Why do I even need to remind them about something like that? Moreover, their acting skills are terrible. I'm sorry, but I don't believe both of you will keep your lips sealed. I only trust dead men.”

Jared took out his phone and made a call. “Jayden, help me dispose of two men. Make it clean, as I don't want anyone to pick up their tracks.”
