Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1578

“Deadly Wolf... Alpha Suicide Squad’s Deadly Wolf... How did you manage to call him in?”

Sole Wolf chided, “Stupid. The only person on Earth who can activate Deadly Wolf is the Great Marshal.”

The Great Marshal... He’s the Great Marshal!

Those two words held unimaginable power. Gerald Jonker was rooted to the spot, unable to process such a revelation.

The rest of the people present fell to their knees in the exaltation of Zeke Williams.

In the eyes of any martial artist, the previous Grand Marshal was thought to have attained the peak prowess of martial arts. He was like a God to them.

Although the current Great Marshal had lost his abilities, the title itself still held just as much authority as before.

“We respectfully greet the Great Marshal!”

Jeager Link burst into tears.

The Great Marshal was his idol.

Not only was he within proximity to his idol, but he was also even gifted the privilege of having his technique refined by the man himself.

The crowd was on their knees.

Only the four leaders remained upright, their faces hardened with arrogance. They refused to submit to anyone.

Great Marshal or otherwise.

His life force had been dismissed, leaving him broken.

How can he hope to defeat the combined might of the Four Great Martial Houses?

It’s ridiculous!

Jaime collected himself and spat out, “Zeke Williams, we’re in the middle of carrying out the king’s command to oversee the Martial Artist National Examination. Yet you appear before us flanked by an army. What’s the meaning of this? Are you rebelling against our ruler?”

Zeke replied, “As I said, I’ve brought a participant for the exam. Why won’t you let Jaeger Link try out? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, my army shall crush you beneath their feet.”

Jaime huffed, “Fine, I’ll tell you. Jaeger Link didn’t even pass the preliminary examination. How can he be allowed to take the final test?”

“Why didn’t you take the preliminary examination?” Zeke asked.

Jaeger finally recovered from his massive bout of the initial shock.

“The... The Ancient Tomb Sect forbade me from entering the preliminary examination.” He stammered out; his voice colored by fear.

“Lies! How dare you accuse the Ancient Tomb Sect of such a thing? You must die for such an outrageous insult,” Jaime growled, “Not even the Great Marshal will be able to save you.”

“If you want proof, I’ll give you proof,” Zeke coldly announced.

He then shot a look at Sole Wolf.

The latter pulled out his phone from his pocket and played a recording.

In the recording, the young master of the Ancient Tomb Sect could be heard threatening Jaeger Link. The young master was demanding Jaeger to take the test in his place.

Crap...

A needle of annoyance pricked Jaime.

That son of mine is far too careless.

How could he have allowed himself to be recorded?

He shouldn’t have done such a thing himself.

If only someone else’s voice played from the recording. We might still have been able to salvage matters then.

But his voice is heard as clear as day. We can’t deny it even if we tried.

I can’t give up.

Glaring at Zeke, he lied through his teeth, “Please, anyone can tell that your recording is fake. You made it up. Your crimes of fabricating evidence and slandering an exam invigilator are very serious. I order you to destroy your fake evidence this instant! Any defiance will result in your immediate execution!”

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to swipe the phone from the unsuspecting Lone Wolf.

However, Zeke was one step ahead of him.

He launched a ferocious slap across Jaime’s face.

The latter cradled his face in stunned silence.

Damn it!

I am the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect and the invigilator of the national exam to boot!

Yet I was slapped not once, but twice, in front of my subordinates and exam takers.

This is unforgivable!

Zeke Williams must die!

Only with his death can my volcanic fury be quenched. There’s no other way to come out unscathed from this crisis.

Jaime lunged towards Zeke, poised to deliver a deadly blow.

Since his life force is gone, this should be easy.

The Four Hidden Sects are behind me. Even if I kill Zeke, they’ll band together to protect me.

But the moment he made his move, a band of light streaked across and struck him squarely in the chest.
