The Protector Novel

Mikael’s three companions laughed and added, “Don’t think of pulling any tricks up your sleeves! Resistance is futile! We can kill you all easily before your reinforcements arrive.”

“Be a good boy and hand us the goods. We’re not out for blood.”

They had expected it to be an easy fight.

“Over my dead body! Trying to steal our cargo? You must be joking!” Drakon scoffed.

Panthera roared, “That’s right! If you want to take our cargo, you’ll have to go through us.”

The sixteen men in the four squads had mentally prepared themselves for a fight to the death despite realizing that they were no match for their enemies.

It would be too late when the reinforcements finally arrived. Their cargo might be gone by then.

It was a moment of extreme danger.

Lenix complained. “We should’ve listened to Levi’s warning! None of this would’ve happened if we changed our route!”

“He guessed correctly. But how could his guess be anything but pure luck?” Phenix grumbled.

“If Levi was so confident, he should’ve insisted on us changing routes! He relented to our decision in the end! He wasn’t sure as well!”

“It’s all Levi’s fault that we took so much damage.”

Complaints abounded that instant.
