Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 579

“Curse you for embarrassing me, Zeke, you stupid son of a bit*h. I will teach you a lesson today for being so arrogant.”

He absentmindedly inspected the workshop and wandered around aimlessly. Feigning ignorance, his wandering eventually brought him to the southwest corner.

There was a hidden small door in that specific corner that people would miss if they didn’t look carefully.

He glanced around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately opened the door to get in.

There was a deserted courtyard behind the small door. The place was overgrown with weed as tall as a kid.

There was a small aluminum hut in the courtyard.

The hut was as dilapidated as the courtyard itself. The outer walls were all rusty and the tiles had fallen off. Weeds had also grown all around the hut. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Harvey knew very well that the annual profit they gained from this abandoned hut was tens of billions. That amount could be matched to ten Reagan Pharmaceutical.

Without any hesitation, he took out a lighter and lit the hut on fire.

He waited until the fire was raging before returning to the workshop quietly.

Once he was outside, he winked at the other public officials that were in the middle of inspecting the company. They all understood his signal and hurriedly followed Harvey out of the workshop.

As soon as they walked out, a figure emerged from a hidden corner.

That figure wasn’t just a random person. It was Hadley Murphy. She had been following Harvey in the dark and watching his every move.

She had been holding a grudge against Zeke after he fuddled her and snatched Susan away from her.

Initially, she wanted to expose the man to the leader of the Necromancer Assassin Organization. But she didn’t expect that he had installed a bug on her body and overheard her plan.

Zeke didn’t want the leader to know of his existence. So he simply kept Hadley by his side in order to control her every move.

Hadley tiptoed to the small, opened door and entered the courtyard. When she arrived, she saw the burning dilapidated hut.

She quickly picked up the fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

After dealing with this, she jumped directly from the walls of the courtyard, went around the main entrance of the company and return to Zeke’s side.

Wilson and the others thought she was a just mere employee, so they disregarded her.

Zeke glanced at her and she nodded, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other end, Harvey and the rest returned from inspecting.

“Tell us the result of your inspection,” Wilson directed.

Harvey took the lead and said, “Mr. Wood, I’ve found a big problem.”

“Really? What is it?” Wilson questioned.

“The company’s fire protection isn’t good enough, which poses a huge safety hazard.”

“It hasn’t rained in days. Fire is very likely to happen.”

“Is that so?” Wilson asked. “Mr. Williams, what do you think of this?”

Susan and the other employees were getting overwhelmed.

Sure enough, Harvey’s purposely trying to find faults.

This company has a fire protection license, though! How could we have gotten the license if it weren’t good enough!

He’s most likely getting revenge for himself and is using this excuse to close down the company.

“Oh. May I know which part of the fire protection in my company isn’t good enough, Mr. Wood?” Zeke

asked calmly.

Before Harvey could reply, Wilson pointed to the southwest corner. “Look! There’s thick smoke coming out from there. Is the workshop on fire?”

“Oh my! That’s exactly where I noticed the problem with their fire protection! The workshop is likely to have caught fire!” Harvey shouted.

“Hurry, go take a look,” Wilson hurriedly urged.

A group of people walked to the corner grandiosely with Susan and the others following closely from behind.

Hadley grabbed Susan’s tiny hand out of the blue. “Ms. Raynor, I saved your company once again.”

“You should thank me by treating me dinner tonight. Just the two of us. You better not invite Zeke again.”

Susan was confused. When did she save the company again?

“Whatever. Let’s talk about this later,” she replied.

“Why did it catch fire for no reason? Could it be that a certain man named Hoffman set the fire on purpose?”

“Huh. He’ll get in a big trouble for this.”
