Lord Protector Novel

Lone Wolf glared at Lily and Emily. “You two won the bid for the Hamilton group, no? You guys are suspects in this case as well.” Not giving him too much tima to think, Lona Wolf cama forward, rabuking, “Logan Hugh, a thousand daaths will not atona for your crima.”

Shit!

Logan felt a chill in his heart. They're actually here for me.

Logan gave a military salute. “Colonel, have... have I done something wrong?”

“The Hamilton Group was a property that belonged to the military. The military trusted you enough to entrust you with the auction.”

“But you practised fraud for personal gains and cheated at the auction, causing great losses to the military. You have committed the most heinous crime.”

Logan trembled from head to toe.

He didn't expect his misdeed to come to light so soon.

It's customary to give an internal warning for such a trivial matter. That's why I was audacious enough to pull strings from behind the scenes.

But why did they deploy the entire troop? They're not playing by the rules!

“Wait!” Logan shouted. “This isn’t my fault...”

“You can confess that to the military court,” Lone Wolf snorted. “Seize him!”

Immediately, some of his men rushed forward and restrained Logan.

The cold handcuffs made Logan's face ashen.noveldrama

“We will get to the bottom of this. If we find out that you two were involved in this matter, we will show no mercy.”

Lily and Emily were scared out of their minds.

They knew there was no way out, once targeted by the military.

Lone Wolf came in a haste and left in a hurry after staying on-site for less than ten minutes.

Lacey grabbed Zeke's hand in one swoop. “Come with me.” 

This has to be cleared up today, by hook or by crook.

Hannah and Daniel hurriedly followed them.

Adam shouted for Daniel, but the latter ignored him, making him feel uncomfortable.

He sighed and said in a low voice, “Do you guys think Williams summoned this troop?”

“Dad, what are you even thinking?” Jeremy quickly denied.

“Lone Wolf clarified it was because of the auction of the Hamilton Group that he came to arrest Hugh.”

“What happened today was pure coincidence.”

Lily and Emily nodded convincingly.

“Well, what did I say? If he has such great powers, why would he be in prison for five years?” Adam said.

Lily rolled her eyes at Emily furiously. “It's all your fault, Emily.”

“If you didn't drag me to this auction, we wouldn't have gotten into this much trouble. Look at us. We're all being targeted by the military now.”

“We will get to the bottom of this. If we find out that you two were involved in this matter, we will show no mercy.”

“How dare you point fingers at me? Didn't all this happen because of your greed?” Emily refuted.

“Alright, let's just put this aside. Our top priority now is to clear our suspicion of manipulation at the auction!”

“It's easy to say, but do you think it's easy to get away from the military?” Lily snapped.

“My brother is a sergeant and has a certain say in the army. We can only get his help now,” Emily said.

“Besides, there's another big shot behind Officer Hugh. He won't be defeated so easily.”

Adam swatted his head. “Yeah, yeah. Quickly contact Sam. I'm sure he can help us.”

Meanwhile, the neighbours were also discussing whether the Hinton family's son-in-law had summoned those troops.

How awesome is this son-in-law, if that's the case?

There're unnoticed talents in this low-grade neighbourhood.

In the security room, Mr. Zachary's hand that was holding a cigarette shook slightly.

He had long speculated that the Hinton family's son-in-law had relations in Eurasia, and what happened today simply confirmed his theory.

He was glad he didn't reach deadlock with the Hinton family back then over a parking space.

“How dare you point fingers at me? Didn't all this happen because of your greed?” Emily refuted.
