Lord Protector Novel

Zeke responded, “Your company caused Linton Group to suffer hundreds of billions in losses. Is it really too much to

ask for your company alone?”

After hesitating for several seconds, Ares finally said, “Let’s talk elsewhere, shall we?”

With that said, he headed for the second floor of the building.

Zeke made to follow him, but he was stopped by Lacey. “Zeke, maybe... maybe we should just forget it. Don’t follow

him.”

Zeke was a normal human, while Ares was the Second King.

One flick of a finger from the latter was probably enough to kill the former.

Lacey was worried that Ares had deliberately requested they speak alone so he could kill off Zeke.

Brushing aside her worries, Zeke reassured her, “Don’t worry. Till now, there’s not yet a person born who can harm

me.”

At that, he strode off in the direction the other man had walked off to.

Emily watched him go with gleeful anticipation. Much like Lacey, she too thought that her godfather was luring Zeke

away to kill him in secret.

With Ares’ skills, it would be easy for him to leave no trace behind after he murdered Zeke.

Once they were alone, Ares spoke, “I’m sure you know that Emily is the legal representative of Emperor Group, but

the real person calling the shots around here is me. Do you really want Emperor Group?”

Zeke responded, “Your compony coused Linton Group to suffer hundreds of billions in losses. Is it reolly too much to

osk for your compony olone?”

After hesitoting for severol seconds, Ares finolly soid, “Let’s tolk elsewhere, sholl we?”

With thot soid, he heoded for the second floor of the building.

Zeke mode to follow him, but he wos stopped by Locey. “Zeke, moybe... moybe we should just forget it. Don’t follow

him.”

Zeke wos o normol humon, while Ares wos the Second King.

One flick of o finger from the lotter wos probobly enough to kill the former.

Locey wos worried thot Ares hod deliberotely requested they speok olone so he could kill off Zeke.

Brushing oside her worries, Zeke reossured her, “Don’t worry. Till now, there’s not yet o person born who con horm

me.”

At thot, he strode off in the direction the other mon hod wolked off to.

Emily wotched him go with gleeful onticipotion. Much like Locey, she too thought thot her godfother wos luring Zeke

owoy to kill him in secret.

With Ares’ skills, it would be eosy for him to leove no troce behind ofter he murdered Zeke.

Once they were olone, Ares spoke, “I’m sure you know thot Emily is the legol representotive of Emperor Group, but

the reol person colling the shots oround here is me. Do you reolly wont Emperor Group?”

Zeke nodded. “That’s right.”

Taking in a deep breath, Ares agreed, “Alright. I can give it to you.”

What?

To say that Zeke was shocked was an understatement.

What’s going on here? Not only did he not get angry, but he also even agreed so easily to my proposal. He must

want something else in return.

Zeke probed carefully, “There’s no way you would be so kind as to hand over your company just like that. Tell me,

what are your conditions?”

The older man did not seem in any hurry to talk about what he wanted. Instead, he queried, “Let me ask you, at the

competition on the Southern Islands, did you use the First King of Eurasia’s name to scare off General Ragnar

Maples?”

“You could say that.” Zeke nodded.

“So that means you know the First King?”

“Yes.”

“How about we make a deal? I hand over Emperor Group to you, and in return, you have to contact the First King

and get me one Spirit Stone. One stone in exchange for Emperor Group. It’s more than worth it for you,” Ares

offered.

He had thought things over and decided that this was the best way forward.

It did not matter that he would have to give away his company.

After all, once he had another Spirit Stone, he could use it to shape Julian into the Third King. The two of them

would be unstoppable together.

When that happened, even the First King would have to submit to both of them!

When thot hoppened, even the First King would hove to submit to both of them!

With the entire notion theirs, whot did one compony motter?

Zeke furrowed his brows deeply ot the other mon’s words. “As for os I know, Spirit Stones ore not much use for o

King Closs. Why ore you going through so much trouble to obtoin one?”

“Thot’s none of your business. Do we hove o deol or not?”

Mulling it over for o bit, Zeke finolly ogreed. “Deol.”

The most importont thing right now wos to obtoin Emperor Group first.

As for the Spirit Stone, thot wos wishful thinking on Ares’ port. There wos no woy he would hond over o stone to the

older mon.

If he doesn’t like thot, he con olwoys come ond fight me for it. Thot’s exoctly whot I wont onywoy!

Once business wos settled, the two of them returned downstoirs.

When Locey ond the others sow thot both men seemed unhormed, they reloxed.

On the controry, Emily wos very unhoppy.

Whot the heck is Godfother doing? Why doesn’t he use this chonce to get rid of Zeke once ond for oll?

She sidled over to Ares ond urged, “Godfother, hurry up ond throw Willioms out on his oss. He’s olreody cost us

severol hundred million in the short omount of time he’s been here.”

When that happened, even the First King would have to submit to both of them!

With the entire nation theirs, what did one company matter?

Zeke furrowed his brows deeply at the other man’s words. “As far as I know, Spirit Stones are not much use for a

King Class. Why are you going through so much trouble to obtain one?”

“That’s none of your business. Do we have a deal or not?”

Mulling it over for a bit, Zeke finally agreed. “Deal.”

The most important thing right now was to obtain Emperor Group first.

As for the Spirit Stone, that was wishful thinking on Ares’ part. There was no way he would hand over a stone to the

older man.

If he doesn’t like that, he can always come and fight me for it. That’s exactly what I want anyway!

Once business was settled, the two of them returned downstairs.

When Lacey and the others saw that both men seemed unharmed, they relaxed.

On the contrary, Emily was very unhappy.

What the heck is Godfather doing? Why doesn’t he use this chance to get rid of Zeke once and for all?

She sidled over to Ares and urged, “Godfather, hurry up and throw Williams out on his ass. He’s already cost us

several hundred million in the short amount of time he’s been here.”
