Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1840

“No,” replied Robert.

“Then I'll have to apologize. I can't let you in. Mr. Conrad is a very busy man. He has numerous affairs to attend to every day. No one is allowed to enter without an appointment,” Edmund said.

Ivan fumed, “Edmund, this is a great matter of importance. The consequences of delaying this are huge. You'd better inform Mr. Conrad about our arrival now.”

Rolling his eyes, Edmund said, “I don't need you to tell me what to do. Get lost now before I lose my patience. Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you.”

Both parties were at each other's throats, looking as though they were about to fight anytime soon.

Right then, Robert intervened, “That's enough. Stop it. There's no need to harm our own men.”

Yuck!

Edmund nearly spat on Robert's face. “Who the hell are you to call us your own men?”

Robert retrieved a black card from his pocket and handed it to Edmund. “I believe this will convince you to inform him about our arrival now.”

What's this?

Edmund eyed the black card suspiciously before a violent shudder went through his body and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It was Royal Casino's Noir Membership Card, their highest level membership card.

Anyone who owned the card could not only enter the casino freely, but they could also enjoy the services for free.

On top of that, they could even see Adrian anytime.

However, as far as Edmund knew, Royal Casino only had ten Noir Membership Cards. And each of these cards was owned by powerful officials.

First of all, Robert and Mr. Conrad are not on good terms. Secondly, even if they are, Robert is not qualified to own this card. So, where did he get this card from?

Edmund took in a deep breath and inquired, “Mr. Quinn, may I know where you got this Noir Membership Card?”

Robert smiled politely. “Of course, it was Mr. Conrad who gave it to me.”

Huh?

Edmund was dumbfounded.

Don't you two hate each other so much that you wish to kill each other? Why would Adrian give you our Noir Membership Card? Who do you think you are?

However, Adrian was not a man to be taken lightly. Thus, Edmund had no choice but to say, “I'll inform Mr. Conrad about this. Please wait here for a while.”

Robert replied, “Please be quick.”

After giving his promise, Edmund took the Noir Membership Card and rushed into Royal Casino.

According to the rules, visitors who had the Noir Membership Card could enter Royal Casino freely and meet Adrian without having to inform the latter.

However, Robert's identity was too unique. Thus, Edmund decided to get Adrian's permission beforehand just to be safe.

With the membership card in his hands, Edmund arrived at a private room in the middle of the first floor.

Logically, Adrian should live on the top floor. After all, it suited his identity the best.

Unfortunately, he had an extreme fear of heights and he felt insecure living on higher floors, so he had chosen to occupy a room on the first floor.

The soundproofing system in the room was well done. He did not have to worry about being interrupted by noises.

At this moment, it was Adrian's nap time. Just as he was about to shut his eyes, there came a knock on his door.

Annoyed, he said, “Come in.”

The door was shoved open and in came Edmund.

A grumpy Adrian snapped coldly, “Don't blame me for punishing you if this is not an important matter. So, tell me—what is it?”

Edmund reported cautiously, “Mr. Conrad, Robert Quinn is here. He wants to see you.”

Adrian's expression darkened instantly. “This is a small matter. Did you really have to disturb me? Make him leave and reflect on your mistakes after that.”

“Don't be hasty, Mr. Conrad. Please let me finish. He brought this as well,” said Edmund, handing the man the Noir Membership Card.

Upon seeing the Noir Membership Card, Adrian could not help but gasp in shock.

Previously, Adrian had made a promise to Robert. If Robert showed the Noir Membership Card upon his arrival and asked to meet the former, it meant that he was in trouble and desperately needed the former's help.
