Lord Protector Novel

Although Rhett despised Jared very much, he didn't want to kill his own brother and be labeled as a person who murdered one's own family member.

Still, he dared not defy Zeke's orders and could only nod. “Yes, sir.”

“Now scram.”

Rhett turned to Jared with a glare. “Well, what are you waiting for? Come with me.”

“Rhett, my dear brother, please,” Jared began pleading again. “I'm your sibling! You can't do this to me. Help me beg for the Great Marshal's mercy. You want to become the head of the family, don't you? I'll support you from now on. You can make me do whatever you want.”

“You're a disgrace to the Mitxel family! Come with me right now!” Rhett bellowed.

Just as Jared was about to beg for mercy again, Logan began to strike him with the cane. “Look at you crying and whining in public like that! You're making such a fool out of yourself! I hereby announce that you're no longer a member of the Mitxel household. From now on, you have nothing to do with our family!”

Those words were meant for Zeke.

He wanted to let Zeke know that Jared's prior actions had nothing to do with the rest of the Mitxels, so it was unnecessary to lump the whole family together with him.

In truth, there was no way Logan would ever cut off his own son.

Yet, Jared had taken his father's announcement seriously.

“You dare kick me out of the family, you geezer? How dare you exile me?” he roared. “You're no human! You don't deserve to be my father! I'll kill you!”

Then, he suddenly lunged forward, tackled Logan to the ground, and began punching the latter's face.

Chaos erupted at the sight of a father being struck by his own son, and a number of Linton Group's employees as well as passersby started to gather at the scene.

Many recognized both Logan and Jared.

“Holy crap. Am I seeing things? Isn't that Logan Mitxel?”

“Logan Mitxel? You mean the Logan Mitxel? The one who was named the world's richest man of last century?”

“Who else would I be talking about? I used to work for him, so I recognize him.”

“So, who is the world's richest man getting into a fight with, and why is he doing the fighting himself?

“It might seem hard to believe, but the person beating him up is his own son, Jared.”

“What the hell? Are you kidding me? The world's richest man is getting clobbered by his own son? That's a first.”

“Should we go help him out? Who knows, he might just give us a couple hundred million for saving his life!”
