Chapter 1299
Lord Protector Novel
Zeke waved his hand. âOf course. But, he is not the only one. Rowanâs rank is not high enough for him to risk arms smuggling and sell state secrets. There must be someone supporting him. Or a rank-and-
file soldier like him could not take charge of a military factory. We must follow his tracks and find out who the mastermind behind him is.â
â
Wolfâs Greed replied, âUnderstood.â
Zeke then turned to Mr. Collins. âHave we found the source of the guns and ammunition?â
The latter shook his head. âThere were no markings on the weapons. Someone has made privately them.â
Zeke nodded. âRowan is our most likely suspect. He controls a military factory. To privately manufacture a batch of weapons would be very easy. Heâs our only lead for now, so we canât waste it.â
At that moment, Zekeâs phone rang.
It was Lacey.
After Zeke picked up, Lacey related everything about Rowan taking over Linton Group building in a choking voice.
After she finished, Zeke burst out laughing.
âThe enemy has delivered himself to our doorstep. Just when we wanted to look for Rowan, he found us instead. Letâs go. Itâs time we head to Linton Group to meet him.â
At Linton Group Tower, the companyâs computers were thrown out of the building one by one.
Every time one of them crashed onto the ground, Laceyâs heart would shatter along with it.
The computers were not worth much, but the data they contained were very valuable.
Finally, the companyâs main server was brought up to the roof and would be pushed off anytime.
Lacey was so nervous that she felt like suffocating.
The main server contained all the companyâs data.
If the server were destroyed, Linton Group would lose half its market value in the best-case scenario.
In the worst case, it would be bankrupt.
In other words, the server was critical to the companyâs existence.
As he looked at the server on the top floor, Rowan threatened, âIâll give you one last chance. Either the company goes bust and you swim in debt, or receive two hundred million and enjoy yourselves. Your choice.â
Lacey was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
She didnât want the company to go bust, but neither did she want to sell it to the enemy for virtually nothing.
She was speechless.
Rowan sighed, âYouâre so stubborn you donât know whatâs good for you.â
As he waved toward the roof, the server which weighed half a ton came crashing down.
Lacey closed her eyes in despair as she couldnât bring herself to see the server be destroyed.
However, after a long time, she heard nothing.
When she opened her eyes out of curiosity, she was stunned.
An old man was holding up the server by himself with both hands.
My God!
The force from a half a ton object dropping from the top of a building was simply unimaginable. It could kill ten elephants with ease.
And yet, the old man was fine. In fact, he was holding the server with steady hands.
Is he Hercules?
In truth, Mr. Collinsâ specialty was military boxing. His strength was at Archduke level.
In military boxing, raw strength was the most important criteria.
At Archduke level, the raw power generated would even put Hercules to shame.
Without a doubt, the old man was Mr. Collins.
After he gently put down the server, Zeke emerged.
Lacey ran up to him anxiously âZeke, youâre finally here.â
Scrutinizing her from head to toe, he smiled. âItâs good to see youâre alright. Donât worry, leave it to me.â
Lacey nodded. Turning toward the old man, she smiled. âSir, thank you for your help.â
