Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1499

“Wait!” Zeke stopped Sole Wolf. “Why don’t we give the culprit a taste of his own medicine?”

“But who’s the culprit?” Sole Wolf asked.

“Ares, of course. He would never stop until he gets his hands on the Spirit Stones, and the only way he could do so is by contacting the thief. When Ares contacts the traitor to try and steal the stones, we’ll capture them in one go.”

“F**k that traitor! I’m going to tear him apart!” Sole Wolf tightened his fists.

“Now, all you have to do is to enlist me as a normal soldier of the Elites of Sole,” Zeke instructed, “I’m going to wait for them myself.”

“Okay!”

...

The more Ares and Julian thought about it, the more furious they became. Who would’ve thought that their plan would be foiled in its final step?

“Father, what should we do now?” Julian asked desperately, “If this drags out too long, I’ll never regain my powers! Even the Spirit Stones could not help me then.”

Ares shared the same worry as well, but he didn’t say it out loud since it would only add to Julian’s frustration.

“Don’t worry. Even if we can’t get our reward, we still have other ways to get our hands on the stones.”

“How?” Julian found hope again. “The mine is being guarded by the top King Class warrior, so we’ll have to go through him first. The only problem is that he’s too mysterious...”

“No matter how mysterious he is, he’s still human. And humans make mistakes,” Ares gave a cold chuckle.

“What kind of mistake can he make?”

“You should know that in order to ascend to King Class, the Spirit Stone is a must. Now, the question is, how did the leader of the Demon Slayers, an American, get his hands on one? Eurasia is the only source of Spirit Stone. I believe that one of the guards is stealing from the mine.”

“Father, you’re right. That possibility is high,” Julian agreed. “If we can find a way to contact the traitor, we can get our hands on the stones! But how are we going to find out who the traitor is?”

“I might have an idea of who he is,” Ares smiled as he stroked his beard.

“You do? How?” Julian exclaimed in excitement. “If we can contact him, then we can secure the stones!”

“Analysis, my son. But, it’s just a guess. Julian, do you know the Carter Sect that resides in Mount Final?”

Julian was confused but nodded. “I do. Four sects have secluded themselves from the world, and they are spread out in four directions. The Carter Sect is one of them. They are so influential that they have the right to collect taxes. Even the government of Eurasia has to present them with loads of resources every year. But, Father, why are you asking about them?”

“Everyone knows that the Elites of Sole that are guarding the mine are incredibly loyal to Zeke. They would risk their lives to uphold the Great Marshal’s pride. The only people with the power to insert a spy or bribe one of the elites would belong to the four sects. Luckily for us, I know someone from the Carter Sect; we can go and ask them for help.”
