The Protector Novel

Why aren’t they here yet?

There wasn’t the slightest ruffle detected throughout the ship, which was unusual.

Their previous looting sprees started around seven to eight hours into the journey, as it was the golden hour for their scheme.

Now it was past that period, and from how fast the ship was cruising, it’d be only a few hours before they’d arrive at the agreed location that was within Zarain’s territory.

“Mr. Johnston, do you think that our opponents are scared? I mean, look at the size of our troops. Anyone would quiver in fear!”

“He’s right! I bet they’ve calculated the risks and concluded that it’s not worth it this time. Maybe that’s why they gave up?”

“That’s very probable. If they were in to rob us, they would’ve struck hours ago!”

Bruce’s men started giving their two cents, and he did share the same sentiments.

“Regardless, we still aren’t out of the woods yet as long as we haven’t set foot in Zarain. Do not let your guards down!” again, he reminded them.

A few seconds later, Fiery Demon reported his situation—there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, Levi was with Phoenix and her men somewhere outside Erudia.

He was chilling and sipping his tea, a behavior that stirred disbelief among his subordinates.
