Chapter 67 I Can't Help You

• Mason POV
• "I'm not telling you all this to scare you but I'm just telling you the truth. The protector work wasn't forced on anybody here, in fact, it's our opportunity. If you have read the Protector history book inside the protectors library then you will understand how benevolent the Lorrids are. No protector here came from a rich family, to put it in a straight way, all the first protectors are poor, so poor that they can only eat from the street and go hungry any day they are unlucky. The Lorrid head at that time picked all of us up from the slum, some the first day, some later..." he sighed again and looked at me with pity. "Every protector is mandated to read the major books in the library once they finished their training, but you didn't because you were meant to follow Jace immediately as he was made the CEO" he paused.
• "I wanted to make you read them and understand the background and history of the protectors before you start following Jace, but head Axel said I should not worry that it won't affect you at all, and looking at how close you and Jace were we let it slide with the thought that you might even become closer than just friends and protectors. But sadly it didn't end that way, my carelessness not only made you arrogant but it also made you do a lot of things. Currently, as I'm looking at you, you seem to have lost your way and other protectors are better than you. The cause of it all is your arrogance of taking your opportunity as being Jace's protector as your birthright" he looked away and rested his head on the couch headrest.
