Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1304

Rowan knew the Great Marshal would not go back on his word once he made a promise.

Moreover, he did not have the right to negotiate terms with Zeke at this point.

So he sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll speak.”

He started explaining, “Five years ago, when I was still the commander of Legends Mercenary, the group wasn’t very big. Nevertheless, our reputation was solid, second only to Seal Mercenary. Because we were losing out to Seal Mercenary, we wanted to get rid of them. During that time, a mysterious man approached me and said that he wanted to join forces with me to annihilate Seal Mercenary. He put forward a safe and feasible plan, so I agreed to collaborate with him. His plan was to loot Seal Mercenary’s weapons and lure them into the imperial mausoleum while we lay there in ambush. Once they got into the mausoleum, we would be able to ambush and kill them easily since they would not have any weapons. In less than ten minutes, almost ten thousand Seal Mercenary members were slaughtered by us. After we wiped out Seal Mercenary, Legends Mercenary became the top group in Eurasia.”

He continued, “Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after that, Eurasia banned the existence of mercenary groups, and our group was forced to disband. With nowhere to go, I contacted the mysterious man out of desperation, hoping that he would lead me to a bright path, and it was then that he introduced me to Connor. Under Connor’s care, I successfully enlisted in the army and climbed to the position that I am in today. I don’t know the identity of that mysterious man, but he must have good relations with Connor.”

Zeke pondered for a moment then said, “Could it be that the mysterious man who hired you was Connor himself?”

Rowan shook his head and answered, “It’s not possible. The person who hired us was an old man. Connor, on the other hand, is rather young. Their ages do not match up.”

Zeke thought about it further, then he suspected it was Connor’s father, Chris.

Chris and the mysterious man were about the same age.

Moreover, he and Connor were father and son, so it made sense that he would refer Rowan to his son.

When Zeke was still a little-known soldier, he was already the backbone of Eurasia, and his reputation was on par with Ares’s.

Zeke used to idolize Chris, and he saw Chris as his mentor.

Never did he expect that his idol would be capable of such unethical actions.

He voiced out his thoughts to the few people around him.

“Chris Black! I knew he wasn’t a good person since a long time ago. I will kill him and avenge my brother today!” Mr. Collins yelled at the top of his voice.

Just like that, he stormed out furiously.

“Wait!” Zeke yelled to him. “Where are you going?”

“To kill Chris Black!” said Mr. Collins.

Zeke then said, “Look, my conclusion was based on pure speculation. There is no concrete evidence at this point to prove that it was indeed Chris who slaughtered Seal Mercenary. If you go looking for him now, you might raise suspicions and make him destroy any evidence there might be. Moreover, the Prince’s Residence is a 100-year-old establishment. Do you think you will be able to fight him single-handedly?”

Looking dissatisfied, Mr. Collins replied, “I can’t wait any longer for revenge.”

But Zeke consoled him, “Don’t worry. I’ve already said I will return the favor, so rest assured that I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I won’t wrong a good person, and I won’t let go of any evil doer either.”
