Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1841

If Robert did not reveal the card, they would present themselves as mortal enemies.

Is Robert in trouble?

Adrian immediately instructed, “Hurry. Let them in.”

Edmund gave a brief answer and turned around to leave.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Adrian called out, “Wait.”

Stopping in his tracks, Edmund asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Invite them in.”

Edmund's expression changed instantly.

Although both his instructions were only a word difference, they had an entirely different meaning.

Edmund sensed that these two men had a more complicated relationship.

Meanwhile, Robert and the others were getting impatient as they waited at the entrance of Royal Casino.

Suddenly, Ivan's phone rang.

He answered the call, and after a while, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

As he ended the call, he said excitedly, “Mr. Quinn, I have good news. My spies told me Zeke has turned back, and he's now with the two girls. Even his wife and his daughter are with him.”

Both Robert's and Jason's expressions lit up.

“Hahaha! Luck is on my side. This time, we must destroy all of them and leave no chance for them to get their revenge,” Robert said.

Right then, Edmund walked out of the building and bowed respectfully. “Follow me, Mr. Quinn. Mr. Conrad wants to see you.”

With Edmund at the front, Robert and the others were led into Adrian's luxurious office.

Robert sat down opposite Adrian without showing curtesy.

Jason, Ivan, and Edmund, on the other hand, stood respectfully at the side.

After all, they had no right to sit down in the presence of two powerful men.

Adrian cast his gaze on Jason and Ivan, saying, “You two. Can you leave us?”

Hearing his words, Robert waved his hand. “There's no need for that, Adrian. They know about our relationship.”

“Oh.” Adrian nodded. “Edmund, take out my best collection of tea leaves and serve them.”

“It's okay. Let's just get into business. I don't need any tea,” Robert cut in.

“Oh? Okay then. What is it?” Adrian asked.

“I'd like you to help me kill some people.”

Adrian was unfazed by the man's words. It was as though killing someone was not a big deal for him. “Who are they?”

“Some entrepreneurs from Atheville.”

Amused, Adrian asked, “Robert, it's just a few entrepreneurs. I'm sure you can deal with them on your own. Why do I need to be involved?”

“The thing is, these people are not that simple, so we can't kill them openly. Our only option is to assassinate them. On top of that, there must not be pieces of evidence left. Otherwise, we'll be exposed. The only person capable of doing such a thing is you.”

“Oh?” Adrian was intrigued. “Just how powerful are these targets?”

“A mysterious and powerful organization is also watching them. Do you think ordinary people can be targets of such organizations? We're not even worthy of being their target. As for what is their purpose, I'm not entirely sure.”

Adrian nodded, digesting the information. “I see. This seems challenging.”

He then turned to look at Edmund and said, “I'll leave this task to you. You'll be fine, right?”

Edmund inquired, “Mr. Quinn, may I know how many targets are there?”

Robert answered, “Three. No. Wait. It's five, including his wife and his child.”

“What kind of weapons do they have?”

“The three women and the little girl should be unarmed. But I'm not sure about the man,” Robert said.

Edmund grinned. “Five targets. Three women and a little girl. Even my men will have no problem with this mission.”

Jason reminded, “Don't ever underestimate the opponents. That man is extremely capable. He's the one who injured Ivan and me.”
