Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1498

“Judging from your questions, are you suspecting that Ares himself staged the killing of the assassin, and that he’s trying to get his hands on the Spirit Stones?” the Prime Minister inquired.

“Most likely.”

“That b*stard! How dare he endanger the whole nation for the stones!” the Prime Minister tightened his fists. “I’ll definitely conduct a thorough investigation on him and give all Eurasians a fitting explanation!”

After pausing for a moment, the Prime Minister continued, “By the way, now that the Demon Slayers are truly dead, why are you hiding the fact that you’re the top King Class warrior?”

“Because someone has the means to steal the Spirit Stone from the mine, and is trying to do so,” Zeke sighed. “And I’m investigating under the guise of the useless Great Marshal.”

The Prime Minister was worried. “How are you so sure that someone is trying to steal the stones?”

“Because you need them to advance to the King Class,” Zeke explained. “Isn’t it weird that the leader of the Demon Slayers managed to achieve King Class when there’s no Spirit Stone mine in the United States? It proves that someone has been stealing the stones from us.”

The Prime Minister looked somber after hearing Zeke’s explanation. “Eurasia’s power is closely tied to the stones. We have to speed up the investigation and find out who is stealing from us!”

“I’d suggest you keep your hands out of this, Mr. Minister. We don’t want to alert the enemy. I’ll handle this personally.”

“Thank you!” the Prime Minister saluted.

The two rejoined the crowd.

Since the ceremony was called off, Zeke asked Justice Warrior and the rest of the Alpha Suicide Squad to escort the leaders back to their own homes.

Sole Wolf was the only one who remained beside Zeke.

Since the troop assigned to guard the mine was the Elites of Sole, it was possible that someone from the troop had betrayed their country.

“Zekky, why am I still here?” Sole Wolf had no idea why Zeke asked him to stay.

“Let me ask you a serious question. How loyal do you think the Elites of Sole are?” Zeke asked.

“They would risk their lives for you without exception,” Sole Wolf replied.

“Wrong!”

“Why’s that?”

“Because there might be a traitor among the Elites of Sole.”

“What?” Sole Wolf jumped. “Who dares to betray us? Who? Zekky, tell me! I’m going to rip him to pieces!”

“Calm down. It’s just a possibility. I am still not sure if my hypothesis is true.”

Sole Wolf let out a sigh of relief. “So, you don’t have any proof?”

“It’s purely speculation. You should know that anyone who wants to advance to the King Class will need the help of Spirit Stones, right? Since there’s no mine in the United States, how did the leader of the Demon Slayers advance to King Class? That is why I’m speculating that someone is stealing from us.”

“I can assure you that no one in the Elites of Sole has betrayed us. It’s most likely stolen by someone else.”

“So, you’re saying that your elites are not guarding the mine well enough?”

“There’s no way... I personally designed the defensive formation around the mine. Even a fly couldn’t get in. Wait, maybe it’s someone stronger than us? Zekky, leave it to me. I’ll stay at the mine 24/7 until the thief is caught!”
