Lord Protector Novel

Unfortunately, there was nothing in the building, for he sensed no traces of the clan.

Zeke could only send a bit of his energy into Sheldon without alerting him. That way, once Sheldon came into

contact with Kush Clan, he would be able to sense it.

Once that was done, Zeke said to Emma, “Emma, let's go.”

Emma nodded.

Just before they left, Zeke suddenly asked Sheldon, “One last question. You're the one who burned down Linton

Group, right?”

Sheldon mocked, “Haha. I don't know. I'd have to scavenge through my memory to find out.”

The taunting expression on his face clearly said: I'm the one who burned down the building. You don't have any

evidence of that, so what can you do about it?

“Very well,” Zeke said. “Mr. Guerrero, it's best for you to be careful for the next few days. The weather is dry, and

fires might start all of a sudden. You should keep a close eye on the properties you own.”

With that said, he turned and left.

Sheldon paled. When Zeke and Emma were gone from his line of sight, he took out his phone and called reception.

“Send a few more men to watch the building all day long. Be exceptionally wary of people who look like they might

be suspicious characters setting a fire.”

The receptionist replied, “I got it.”

After Zeke and Emma left the building, Emma tentatively asked, “Mr. Williams, are you going to burn down

Intercontinental Group's hot spring resort?”

Unfortunotely, there wos nothing in the building, for he sensed no troces of the clon.

Zeke could only send o bit of his energy into Sheldon without olerting him. Thot woy, once Sheldon come into

contoct with Kush Clon, he would be oble to sense it.

Once thot wos done, Zeke soid to Emmo, “Emmo, let's go.”

Emmo nodded.

Just before they left, Zeke suddenly osked Sheldon, “One lost question. You're the one who burned down Linton

Group, right?”

Sheldon mocked, “Hoho. I don't know. I'd hove to scovenge through my memory to find out.”

The tounting expression on his foce cleorly soid: I'm the one who burned down the building. You don't hove ony

evidence of thot, so whot con you do obout it?

“Very well,” Zeke soid. “Mr. Guerrero, it's best for you to be coreful for the next few doys. The weother is dry, ond

fires might stort oll of o sudden. You should keep o close eye on the properties you own.”

With thot soid, he turned ond left.

Sheldon poled. When Zeke ond Emmo were gone from his line of sight, he took out his phone ond colled reception.

“Send o few more men to wotch the building oll doy long. Be exceptionolly wory of people who look like they might

be suspicious chorocters setting o fire.”

The receptionist replied, “I got it.”

After Zeke ond Emmo left the building, Emmo tentotively osked, “Mr. Willioms, ore you going to burn down

Intercontinentol Group's hot spring resort?”

Zeke sighed and shook his head. “I can't bring myself to do that. There are so many people in that hotel. There will

be many death and casualties if a fire were to start. I can't let so many innocent people die just because I want

revenge.”

Emma nodded. “Then, what do we do next?”

Zeke replied, “Linton Group has been burned down, and it'll take at least a year and a half to rebuild. What about

this? Find a building we can rent first. We'll have that as Linton Group's temporary office.”

“Understood.”

Emma nodded.

“As for Mitxel Group... Send me information about it. I'd like to see what kind of company it is and what kind of

collaboration it will be.”

Zeke yearned to know what kind of collaboration they had that made Kush Clan interested in them.

“Sure,” Emma responded.

Right then, Zeke's phone rang.

After glancing at the number on the screen, a soft smile spread across Zeke's face.

It was a call from his wife, Lacey.

It had been a few days since Zeke had called her. Thus, the moment he saw her number, the gloomy feelings in his

heart dissipated.

He then said to Emma, “Emma, you should get in the car first. I need to pick up a call.”

“Understood.”

Emma turned and entered the car.

Jealousy was blooming in her heart like a flower.

She had stolen a glance at Zeke's phone earlier, so she knew that his wife called him.

If I knew Zeke first, would I have been in Lacey's position? If I could rewind time, I'd exchange all my luck to meet

Zeke before Lacey. Even if he's broke, and living in the worst moment in his life...

Zeke walked to a quiet corner and answered the call.

“Lacey, you've finally called me. I thought you have forgotten that you have a husband!”

Lacey grumbled, “What are you complaining about? You're having so much fun outside after leaving the entire

company to me. I didn't even say anything about that. You're just the pot calling the kettle black, you know?”

Zeke laughed bitterly in his mind. Enjoying the time of my life? It was more like I was risking my life.

Of course, he would not say that to her to save her the worry.

“Why don't we sell Linton Group off and go on a trip together? Won't we be enjoying the time of our life like that?”

“No way! It took me almost everything to establish Linton Group. I won't just sell it like this. By the way, I heard from

Emma that you're settling the matters regarding Linton Group's branch office at her place.”

“Yes. I just came here yesterday,” Zeke told her.
