The Protector Novel

After leaving Deity Lab, Nedley immediately placed a call to Triple Group’s headquarters.

“I’m afraid things aren’t going our way. Jared’s a smart guy, and he knows we need him. I can tell he already has other plans,” Nedley said nervously.

“I hope you can come up with a proposal. If this weapon falls into the hands of others, especially Erudia’s, it’s going to spell disaster for us!”

Sensing the urgency in Nedley’s tone, the voice on the other end replied, “Okay, we’ll call for a meeting immediately!”

Back at the Deity Lab, Jared’s assistant was equally curious about what he had in mind.

“Mr. Schmidt, I see you haven’t agreed to their proposal. Does that mean you have other plans?”

Jared had a twinkle in his eye as he sneered, “Of course. I know better than anyone just how highly valued I am now. That’s why I’m not going to limit myself to only Triple Group!”

His assistant nodded in excitement before chiming in, “That’s right! If news of our weapon gets out into the public, the whole world would be in an uproar! When that time comes, you’re going to be the man that everyone wants to work with!”

“Exactly! The sky’s the limit when it comes to my options. I’ll work with the party who can offer me the best benefits. But more than anything else, I wish to work with Erudia!”

A look of eager anticipation crossed Jared’s face as he continued, “I hope they can satisfy all my terms and conditions so I can become the most prominent person in Erudia. When that happens, I’m sure that woman would stop looking down on me!”
