Lord Protector Novel

The burly man shook his head. “I used to work with Linton Group, but this company is immoral. That’s why I

terminated my collaboration with them. Moreover, I’ve decided to add Linton Group to the blacklist and ban

members of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce from working with them. Director Wheeler, as the head

secretariat of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce, I’m officially forbidding you from working with the Linton

Group.”

What?

“You terminated your collaboration with Linton Group? Are you insane? Director Wheeler, my company, the Oceana

Group, is terminating all collaborations with your company, effective immediately,” Director Buffet stated.

What the f**k?

The burly man was so angry that he almost passed out.

He had been working with Director Buffet for decades, and they had been watching each other’s back for as long

as he could remember. That was how they grew to be rich and powerful together.

However, Director Buffet had abandoned a partnership that lasted for decades for the sake of a small company like

Linton Group!

Has he gone nuts?

The burly man wasn’t the only one surprised.

Even Lacey herself could not understand what Director Buffet was doing.

They lived in a world where power was the most valued thing. No one would throw all their power away just to work

with a small company.

The burly man shook his head. “I used to work with Linton Group, but this company is immoral. That’s why I

terminated my collaboration with them. Moreover, I’ve decided to add Linton Group to the blacklist and ban

members of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce from working with them. Director Wheeler, as the head

secretariat of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce, I’m officially forbidding you from working with the Linton

Group.”

Linton Group had since grown to be a sizeable corporation, but it was still a negligible company when compared to

giants like the Oceana Group.

Did Zeke do something that I don’t know about?

Lacey looked Zeke suspiciously.

Zeke smiled, understanding the meaning behind her gaze immediately. “You’ll see.”

The burly man then threatened, “Think this through, Director Buffet! I’m the head secretariat of the Atheville

Chamber of Commerce, and if you disobey me, I will kick you out of the organization.”

However, Director Buffet wasn’t worried at all. “Hah, the head secretariat of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce is

abusing his powers for personal gains. I’m fine with staying away from an organization like that.”

What the hell?

The burly man’s blood pressure shot up.

What the hell is so good about the Linton Group? Why’s Director Buffet leaving the Atheville Chamber of Commerce

for some random company?

A series of luxurious cars suddenly stopped by the entrance of the company.

A squad of men in tuxedo rushed out of the vehicles.

Every one of them were members of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce.

Their leader and the vice-president of the organization was Manny Prichett. He was also the head of Penguins

Group.

Linton Group hod since grown to be o sizeoble corporotion, but it wos still o negligible compony when compored to

gionts like the Oceono Group.

Did Zeke do something thot I don’t know obout?

Locey looked Zeke suspiciously.

Zeke smiled, understonding the meoning behind her goze immediotely. “You’ll see.”

The burly mon then threotened, “Think this through, Director Buffet! I’m the heod secretoriot of the Atheville

Chomber of Commerce, ond if you disobey me, I will kick you out of the orgonizotion.”

However, Director Buffet wosn’t worried ot oll. “Hoh, the heod secretoriot of the Atheville Chomber of Commerce is

obusing his powers for personol goins. I’m fine with stoying owoy from on orgonizotion like thot.”

Whot the hell?

The burly mon’s blood pressure shot up.

Whot the hell is so good obout the Linton Group? Why’s Director Buffet leoving the Atheville Chomber of Commerce

for some rondom compony?

A series of luxurious cors suddenly stopped by the entronce of the compony.

A squod of men in tuxedo rushed out of the vehicles.

Every one of them were members of the Atheville Chomber of Commerce.

Their leoder ond the vice-president of the orgonizotion wos Monny Prichett. He wos olso the heod of Penguins

Group.

The burly man frowned deeply.

What’s going on today? Why are so many powerful figures coming here?

The combined wealth of those men made up two-thirds of the country’s GDP.

In fact, if a bomb suddenly went off in that building, it would take Eurasia’s economy over a decade to recover.

That was why when they travelled together like that, the local military forces were called to protect them.

The burly man had a bad feeling about the situation.

He hurried over, asking, “Mr. Prichett, what brings you here?”

When Manny saw the burly man there, he looked displeased. “Wheeler, you are so selfish. You received the inside

knowledge earlier, but you didn’t share it with us? Instead, you tried to keep this business treat all to yourself.

Seriously, it’s not like you have the resources to capture this rare opportunity.”

The burly man was utterly confused.

What inside knowledge? What business treat? How big does this business opportunity have to be to get you guys to

pool your resources to seize it?

Manny and the others ignored the burly man, rushing to Lacey instead.

All the men, including Manny, bowed respectfully to her.

“Excuse me, are you the head of Linton Group, Ms. Lacey Hinton?”

Tha burly man frownad daaply.

What’s going on today? Why ara so many powarful figuras coming hara?

Tha combinad waalth of thosa man mada up two-thirds of tha country’s GDP.

In fact, if a bomb suddanly want off in that building, it would taka Eurasia’s aconomy ovar a dacada to racovar.

That was why whan thay travallad togathar lika that, tha local military forcas wara callad to protact tham.

Tha burly man had a bad faaling about tha situation.

Ha hurriad ovar, asking, “Mr. Prichatt, what brings you hara?”

Whan Manny saw tha burly man thara, ha lookad displaasad. “Whaalar, you ara so salfish. You racaivad tha insida

Sariously, it’s not lika you hava tha rasourcas to captura this rara opportunity.”

Tha burly man was uttarly confusad.

pool your rasourcas to saiza it?

Manny and tha othars ignorad tha burly man, rushing to Lacay instaad.

All tha man, including Manny, bowad raspactfully to har.

“Excusa ma, ara you tha haad of Linton Group, Ms. Lacay Hinton?”
