Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1589

Meanwhile, he turned his gaze towards the three heads of the Martial Houses.

They were all quaking in fear.

“The Four Great Martial Houses, kneel and accept your orders.”

The three heads and all the disciples of the four Martial Houses knelt one by one.

The Regent declared, “It’s now conclusive that the Four Great Martial Houses have manipulated the Martial Artist National Examination and therefore betrayed the nation. These are serious crimes. They will now be sentenced to death by execution. I will carry it out immediately.”

“Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?”

What?

All the members of the Four Great Martial Houses were shocked upon hearing that the Regent wanted to execute them all. It was simply too cruel.

The last bit of hope they had was finally extinguished.

They were well aware of the Regent’s true objective - to keep the ancient techniques a secret.

As they watched the Regent walk towards the three heads of the Martial Houses, they noticed the three men began to hyperventilate.

Jaime Carter suddenly yelled, “Great Marshal, please save us! I will tell you the secrets of all the ancient techniques I know.”

The head of the Mount Ymir Sect also pleaded, “We know more secret techniques than all the core disciples.”

The Beasts Sect head added, “That’s right! I’ll be willing to exchange all my secret techniques in return for my life.”

Damn it!

The Regent picked up his pace.

Zeke ordered Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, and Mr. Collins, “Protect the three.”

“Yes, Sir!”

The three subordinates stepped forward immediately to block the Regent.

The Regent’s gaze was instantly filled with anger. “B*****ds, get out of my way!”

“We’re in Atheville. This place is under my jurisdiction. I’m now enforcing the law while you are in obstruction of justice.”

Sole Wolf snorted, “Whatever you say.”

You...

The Regent was angered by the audacity shown by Sole Wolf when he blatantly admitted they were obstructing justice.

They were not showing him any respect.

Gritting his teeth, he replied, “Very well. Since you’re preventing me from enforcing the law, I have the authority to kill all of you now. Today, you will all die!”

Killer Wolf flicked his sword, causing a sharp metal shrill from the reverberation.

“Haha! You will first have to seek permission from my sword,” he snarled.

Mr. Collins added, “Just get on with it already. That’s all he has and yet he calls himself a Regent? Let me show him what a real king is like.”

Just as the three of them were about to attack, the ground trembled underneath them.

A loud rumble could be heard as if thunder were fast approaching.

Meanwhile, a voice called out from Killer Wolf’s walkie-talkie, “Sir, we’re under attack!”

Killer Wolf questioned, “Who are the enemies?”

The voice replied, “Our scouts report that it’s the Three Knights of Eurasia.”

Suddenly, everyone present held their breaths.

The Three Knights had been around ever since the nation was formed. They were among the ten strongest troops in Eurasia.

When the Three Knights clashed with Killer Wolf’s army, it was immediately obvious who was the stronger party.

Killer Wolf ordered, “Stop them. Whoever dares to get past you, show them no mercy.”

“Understood!”

The Regent threatened, “I’ve ordered the Three Knights to enforce the law by eliminating the Four Great Martial Houses. If you stop them, you will be obstructing justice and starting an insurrection. I will report this to the President and request him to pass judgment.”

Killer Wolf scowled, “Damn it! Stop yammering on and on. Come at me already, don’t be a coward!”

“I...”

The Regent was incensed, but he wasn’t ready to make his move as he knew he was no match for the three of them.

He was still waiting for his reinforcements.

Unfortunately, Zeke had seen through his plan.

Given how influential the Regent was, his reinforcements would likely be formidable opponents.

By that time, even Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, and Mr. Collins combined might not be enough to deal with the enemy.

Therefore, he knew he had to seize the initiative and deal with them individually.
