Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2200

He quickly said, “An old friend of mine asked me to target Linton Group. What's wrong?”

Phew!

Bill heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good to know. Things can still be salvaged then!”

Gary asked, “Bill, what's wrong? Why are you mumbling to yourself?”

Bill warned, “Mr. Lopez, it's best if you stop challenging Linton Group, be it now or in the future. Also, you should stop interacting with your old friend who asked you to target Linton Group. It'll be even better if you cut ties with him.”

Gary started to feel slightly angry. “Bill, go straight to the point and answer my question!”

Bill sighed. “Mr. Lopez, I think that it's better if I don't tell you about it. Just follow my instructions.”

Gary had serious heart disease. If he knew that he had become enemies with Great Marshal, he might have a heart attack.

However, that made Gary even angrier. “Bill, you're nagging so much recently. I've experienced all sorts of things before! There's nothing in this world that can crush me. Stop beating around the bush and tell me directly!”

Fine.

Bill took a deep breath. After calming himself, he asked, “Mr. Lopez, do you know Linton Group's background?”

Gary shook his head. “Isn't it just a private enterprise? How powerful can its background be?”

Bill smirked bitterly. “Mr. Lopez, Linton Group used to be a tiny steel mill. It only spent a few years before reaching such a height. If it doesn't have a powerful background, could it have achieved such a miracle?”

Gary nodded thoughtfully. “You're right. Then, which powerful figure is supporting Linton Group? Can the person possibly be more powerful than me when I was at the peak of my career?”

Bill replied, “Well, I'll put it this way. Mr. Lopez, you probably don't even have the right to meet him even at the peak of your career! Keep guessing.”

Gary was stunned. I don't even have the right to meet the person even at the height of my career? Isn't Bill putting me down?

He asked carefully, “The state council?”

Bill shook his head. “Even higher up.”

“The congress?”

“Even higher.”

Gary guessed, “Could it be those from Glasbury?”

Bill answered, “Those from Glasbury probably have to bow down to this powerful figure.”

When Gary heard that, a name surfaced in his mind.

“Great Marshal!” he blurted.

Only then did Bill nod solemnly. “That's right.”

What?

Gary shuddered violently as he raised his head and stared at Bill intently.

“Say that again! Did I hear wrongly earlier?”

Bill repeated seriously, “The person supporting Linton Group is Great Marshal! Lacey, whom you're targeting, is actually his wife. I'm certain about this, Mr. Lopez. There's no need for you to suspect it any further.”

Oh my God!

Gary collapsed on the floor, his face as white as a sheet.

As his throat had gone dry, he wanted to drink some water. However, his hand was trembling so much that half of the water had already been spilled when he brought the glass to his lips.

Afraid that Gary might have a heart attack, Bill quickly consoled, “Don't panic, Mr. Lopez. This isn't the end yet.”

Gary took a sip of water and lamented sadly, “I'm doomed. I've become enemies with Great Marshal. I can get executed for this! I was lucky enough to work for him once, so I know how extreme he is in loving and hating someone. If he finds out that I'm enemies with his wife, he'll not spare me. What should I do, Bill? Do you think that I'll drag my family down with me?”

He continued, “No! I'm going to cut off my head and beg Great Marshal to spare my family. I'll leave this to you, Bill.”
