Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1825

“Great Marshal, you were looking for me?” Professor Stewart asked.

“Yes, Professor Stewart. Do you know anything about United Group?”

Professor Stewart nodded. “Yes, of course. Cygnus Room even has business dealings with United Group.”

“All right then. They have recently announced that they had successfully invented anti-gravity equipment. To what extent do you think their claim is true?”

“That's impossible!” Professor Stewart said adamantly, “They're really capable but not to the extent of being able to come up with anti-gravity equipment. Nobody knows the United Group better than me.”

The man paused for a moment before continuing, “Well, unless...”

“Unless what, Professor Stewart? Just tell me the truth,” Zeke said.

“Well, it is very unlikely for them to have invented the equipment unless they've collaborated with an institution from America. Besides, I've got some news saying that the president of the United Group, Robert Quinn, has been going out of the country quite often these days. Maybe they're really working together.”

Zeke thought for a moment before saying, “All right, then. I will personally investigate this matter.”

After all, the anti-gravity equipment was a matter of national concern and should be given the utmost priority.

“Do you need me to sound things out in United Group?”

“No,” Zeke rejected the man's offer right away. “I am going undercover to pay them a visit.”

Zeke hung up the call and turned to look at Dawn and Lacey. “Don't expose my identity later.”

“Why?” They were stumped by his request. “There's no harm in letting them know about your identity as the Great Marshal. It might even be a great help.”

Zeke took in a deep breath. “I'm afraid that this might be a trap.”

The two women gasped in shock. “What are they trying to accomplish?”

“I'm not sure,” Zeke admitted. “So, that is why I need to keep my identity a secret and go undercover.”

The two women nodded and said, “All right. We will play along.”

They arrived at the United Group building soon after.

When Zeke parked his car and got out, Dawn suddenly exclaimed, “Look, isn't that the car of the lecher the other day?”

Zeke and Nancy then followed Dawn's gaze.

Sure enough, a Lamborghini was parked right next to their car, and it belonged to the rich playboy they had bumped into at the airport the other day.

Zeke's head throbbed.

Why is that playboy here too? Others might find out about my identity if we were to get into a fight. I wouldn't be able to go through with my plan then.

Left with no other choice, Zeke could only go with the flow.

Realizing that they were in a quandary, Nancy tapped on Dawn's head and said, “It was really silly of you to tick that playboy off. It's impossible for you to make it up to Zeke if the playboy ruins his plan.”

“Sorry, Zeke. I didn't know that things would turn out this way,” Dawn said apologetically.

“It's all right,” Zeke reassured her.

“I will deal with any trouble that comes up later. Just proceed with the business dealing.”

The three of them then made their way over to the United Group building.

Just when they reached the entrance, Dawn bumped right into someone who came out of the building.

The other person was enraged and hollered, “B*stard! Are you freaking blind? Hmm? Oh, it's you.”

Dawn and the other two then looked at the man.

It was a small world indeed. Fate had it that Dawn bumped right into the good-for-nothing playboy from the airport the other day.

The playboy's fury dissipated into thin air as he said with a lecherous smile, “Hi, pretty ladies. It seems like fate has brought us together again. I didn't expect to bump into you two here. Why don't I treat the two of you to dinner then?”

Nancy did not wish to squander another second of her time with the playboy and said coldly, “Today is not a good time. We're really busy.”

Curious, the playboy pressed on, “Very busy? Why are you guys here anyway?”

“We're here to talk business with United Group,” Nancy replied.
