Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1434

“Mr. Williams, if Julian accepts the challenge, are you really not going to object to him having the Great Marshal’s title?” the Prime Minister questioned.

Zeke nodded. “Of course.”

The Prime Minister then turned to Julian and said, “Okay, then. Julian, I’ll be your guarantor. I’ll make sure that Mr. Williams will stop giving you a hard time if you accept the challenge right now.”

Julian anxiously looked at his father, Ares, and the latter merely nodded at him.

Forced into a corner, Julian had no other choice but to accept the challenge.

As for how to deal with the actual day of said challenge, he’d figured he would take one step at a time and try to find a solution out of his predicament.

Julian braced himself and accepted the challenge.

“The battle will be held on the twentieth island of the Southern Archipelago. We hope you’ll be there on time,” said the Lundr attendant. “We’ll stop bothering you now. If you’ll excuse us.”

With that, the attendants took their leave.

The Prime Minister added, “Julian, this battle will affect Eurasia’s reputation and image. You must not lose.”

“I...” Julian spoke but then stopped himself.

My success rate is probably lower than 0.1 percent.

Naturally, he couldn’t admit that out loud.

“Go home, Julian,” said Ares. “Go into retreat for three days so you can do this challenge with the best mental state.”

Julian nodded before leaving as per Ares’s order.

As for Emily Clemons, they had long forgotten about her existence.

The Prime Minister gazed at Julian before approaching Zeke. “Mr. Williams, I noticed how horrified Julian was about the challenge. Could it be that he’s not the one who defeated General Maples?”

Zeke smiled faintly. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

“Okay, then.” The Prime Minister smiled bleakly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Williams. I’ll personally investigate this issue and make things clear. We will not disappoint a hero and definitely won’t let the enemy take advantage of this opportunity.”

The Prime Minister left after that.

Sole Wolf and the others stepped forward and surrounded Zeke.

“Zeke, please provide instruction.”

“You can go home,” Zeke uttered. “Next time, don’t randomly mobilize the army and waste the country’s resources.”

“Zeke, a little wastage of resources is nothing in order to protect you. We’ll even sacrifice our lives for you,” Sole Wolf stated.

To that, Zeke said flatly, “Do I look like I need your protection?”

His reply rendered everyone speechless as they were torn between laughter and tears.

That’s right. Zeke’s the number one King Class warrior in Eurasia, perhaps he’s even the top King Class warrior in the whole world. Nobody can threaten him.

They didn’t need to worry about him that much.

A while later, Sole Wolf and the others also took their leave.

Meanwhile, Emily Clemons who had been watching the whole scene unfold before her eyes had a face filled with loathing.

She didn’t dare to mess with Linton Group now that Ares and Julian had left.

Putting on a tough front, she gritted her teeth and spat, “Hmph! Linton Group! I’ll allow all of you to live for a few more days. Once Julian defeats General Maples and secures the Great Marshal’s title, Zeke will have to keep his promise and serve us as our slave! I’ll conquer Linton Group when that time comes!”

Consequently, Zeke approached Lacey. “Lacey, let’s open for business. You don’t have to worry. Nobody will dare mess with our company anymore.”

“Okay.” Lacey nodded.

“You’re awesome, Zeke.” Dawn Castaneda grinned.

“Who would’ve thought even the Prime Minister respects you this much? He’s partial to you even when you’ve offended him.”

“It’s not a big deal.” Zeke smiled. “When I was still the Great Marshal, I helped him a lot and even saved his life once. He ought to be partial to me.”

Though that was what he said, he knew that the reason why the Prime Minister was partial to him was that he was the number one King Class warrior.
