The Protector Novel

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!”

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.
