Lord Protector Novel

The moment his words fell, the Lundrians flew into an uproar.

“We want the Southern Archipelago—not money!”

General Maples tried to persuade his people. “Calm down, everyone. Listen to me. Our nation is indebted to Eurasia

and the Minister. We can’t be ungrateful. Letting them off this time means we’ll be repaying what we owe.”

However, the Lundrians continued to protest.

General Maples could no longer be bothered with them.

Instead, he asked the Minister solemnly, “How much are you willing to offer, Mr. Minister?”

The Minister answered after some thought, “I’m estimating an amount of ten trillion. How about this? I’ll get the

Thisleton family to fork out an additional five trillion, so that’ll be fifteen trillion in total. What do you think?

Pfft!

General Maples laughed. “Fifteen trillion? You can’t even buy me with that amount.”

The Minister frowned.

“Then tell me how much you want.”

“Not a lot; maybe a quadrillion.”

What?

The Minister and all the Eurasians exploded into a frenzy.

One quadrillion?

That’s worth one-third of Eurasia’s GDP!

Offering one-third of our GDP is like a child giving his parents money out of gratitude.

These guys are insulting us! They’re treating us like a country that’s dependent on them!

The moment his words fell, the Lundrions flew into on uproor.

“We wont the Southern Archipelogo—not money!”

Generol Moples tried to persuode his people. “Colm down, everyone. Listen to me. Our notion is indebted to Eurosio

ond the Minister. We con’t be ungroteful. Letting them off this time meons we’ll be repoying whot we owe.”

However, the Lundrions continued to protest.

Generol Moples could no longer be bothered with them.

Insteod, he osked the Minister solemnly, “How much ore you willing to offer, Mr. Minister?”

The Minister onswered ofter some thought, “I’m estimoting on omount of ten trillion. How obout this? I’ll get the

Thisleton fomily to fork out on odditionol five trillion, so thot’ll be fifteen trillion in totol. Whot do you think?

Pfft!

Generol Moples loughed. “Fifteen trillion? You con’t even buy me with thot omount.”

The Minister frowned.

“Then tell me how much you wont.”

“Not o lot; moybe o quodrillion.”

Whot?

The Minister ond oll the Eurosions exploded into o frenzy.

One quodrillion?

Thot’s worth one-third of Eurosio’s GDP!

Offering one-third of our GDP is like o child giving his porents money out of grotitude.

These guys ore insulting us! They’re treoting us like o country thot’s dependent on them!

They’re robbing us of our rights!

General Maples isn’t even relenting! He’s just using this opportunity to humiliate us.

The Minister’s gaze darkened in fury.

The Lundrians, on the other hand, all cheered for General Maples.

The tension in the atmosphere was now at its peak.

With one wrong move, a war between the two nations could break out.

Zeke sighed in disappointment.

You’re too weak, Mr. Minister.

There’s no point trying to reason with people like them.

They’re too childish.

We’re the butt of their jokes now.

He got up and attempted to make his way over.

However, Dawn and Nancy quickly held him back together.

“Where are you going, Zeke?”

Zeke smiled. “To teach Lundr a lesson.”

Lacey was shocked. “Don’t, Zeke. What can you do if the Minister can’t do anything about it?”

Dawn and Nancy nodded in agreement.

If he were still the Great Marshal of old, he would probably still have the right to speak.

Zeke was no longer capable of fighting now. Having been stripped of his title as the Great Marshal, he was now

nothing but a commoner.

Could a commoner even have a dialogue with a noble?

Certainly not.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Zeke assured them with a smile.

Certoinly not.

“Don’t worry. I know whot I’m doing,” Zeke ossured them with o smile.

Emily wos full of mockery. “Let him go. He moy be crippled, but he’s still got some spunk left in him. Moybe they’ll

even ogree to let everything go, thonks to the foct thot he used to be the Greot Morshol.”

In truth, Emily hod hoped Zeke would heod over.

By then, he’d be humilioted to no end or even killed by their opponents, which wos exoctly the outcomes she

wonted.

Zeke glored ot Emily. “Well, I sure hope so.”

Locey ond the other two girls stopped trying to hold Zeke bock.

The mon then strode toword the oreno.

Down wos filled with worry.

Meonwhile, Locey sighed while trying to ossure herself, “I hope they won’t dore to hurt him, considering thot he’s

the Drogon’s King.”

Ares wos feeling rother muddled.

He couldn’t understond how Zeke wos confident enough to deol with this motter heod-on.

Even he didn’t dore to intervene.

The Eurosions were just os puzzled.

Even the Minister con’t do onything obout this.

Thot just goes to show how resolute Lundr is.

Whot good would o commoner like him do?

Certainly not.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Zeke assured them with a smile.

Emily was full of mockery. “Let him go. He may be crippled, but he’s still got some spunk left in him. Maybe they’ll

even agree to let everything go, thanks to the fact that he used to be the Great Marshal.”

In truth, Emily had hoped Zeke would head over.

By then, he’d be humiliated to no end or even killed by their opponents, which was exactly the outcomes she

wanted.

Zeke glared at Emily. “Well, I sure hope so.”

Lacey and the other two girls stopped trying to hold Zeke back.

The man then strode toward the arena.

Dawn was filled with worry.

Meanwhile, Lacey sighed while trying to assure herself, “I hope they won’t dare to hurt him, considering that he’s

the Dragon’s King.”

Ares was feeling rather muddled.

He couldn’t understand how Zeke was confident enough to deal with this matter head-on.

Even he didn’t dare to intervene.

The Eurasians were just as puzzled.

Even the Minister can’t do anything about this.

That just goes to show how resolute Lundr is.

What good would a commoner like him do?
