Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1617

Unfortunately, they really did not have anyone else they could rely on. If he refused Connor's request, the latter might get desperate.

So, all he could do now was to stall for time and let Connor have temporary possession of the Tigon Badge.

The President replied, “Granted!”

Connor was overjoyed. “Thank you, sir!”

Following that, Connor and Julian confronted the remnants of the Four Hidden Sects to ensure that no one survived.

Then, Connor ordered his men to take away Sole Wolf and the others, who were still in shock.

Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, Justice Warrior, and the others were Connor's sworn enemies who knew the truth about him.

For now, he would keep them imprisoned. However, if that did not work out, he would just have to kill them in order to silence them.

As for Zeke, Connor was not worried at all.

Ares and the four Ultimate Class warriors had fallen into a deep abyss.

There was no way he could survive even if he had nine lives.

Connor and Julian were overjoyed.

They had all the martial arts practitioners in Eurasia under their thumb.

That was equivalent to controlling half of Eurasia.

Initially, Connor's intention was only to rebuild the Prince's Residence.

However, he had bigger plans now.

He was going to make all of Eurasia's martial artists into a part of the Prince's Residence!

Connor commanded Julian, “Julian, give the order. All the martial artists in Eurasia must come to Atheville quickly to meet up. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”

“Yes, sir!”

Immediately, Julian did as he was commanded.

...

At the bottom of the abyss in front of the president's residence, Zeke had fallen into the underground river. He instantly went into shock and was carried away by the current.

Having imploded his life force, his current physique was like any ordinary human. Even if he had fallen from a ten-meter-high platform instead of a deep abyss, he would have lost consciousness.

The fact that he had survived was already a miracle.

After drifting with the current for a long time, he was stranded on a ford in the river.

Slowly, he opened his eyes.

His whole body ached terribly as if his insides had been torn apart, and his mind was buzzing.

The pain was so terrible he wished he could die.

There was only one question on his mind, Why am I still alive?

After falling into such a deep abyss, even an Ultimate Class warrior would not have much chance of survival, not to mention someone who had lost his life force.

He was indeed lucky!

Without much thought, he struggled to bring out the Spirit Stone from his pocket and consumed it carefully.

Then he closed his eyes and waited expectantly.

He hoped that the same thing would happen as before, where his life force recovered with the aid of the Spirit Stone, and he regained his powers as a King Class warrior.

Unfortunately, he was very soon disappointed.

The imploded life force was like a wasteland. There was no reawakening or any response at all.

Instead, the majestic spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone forced its way into all of Zeke's cells and ravaged his body.

Ahh!

He suffered the agony of unimaginable pain.

Zeke's nerves were tortured beyond his tolerance and he fainted.

Probably a day and a night passed. Zeke woke up gradually.

His body had been strengthened by the spiritual energy, so he had recovered almost completely. Currently, he was no different than an ordinary human.

The only problem was his pounding headache.

He struggled to his feet and looked around.

Looking both ways, upstream and down, there seemed to be no end in sight. Above his head was solid rock instead of the gaping blackness of the abyss.

It seemed that he had been brought by the underground river into the depths of the earth.

After his life force had imploded, he was just an ordinary man. The chances of survival in these circumstances were low.

Nonetheless, he did not give up.

My wife Lacey is waiting for me and my daughter Missy needs me.

I must return alive.

Following the subterranean river, he struggled to walk forward.

He had barely taken a step when a shadow slipped past him.

What was that?

Involuntarily, Zeke shuddered and turned to look in its direction.

However, there was nothing there.

Could that have been an illusion?

He shook his head and continued forward.

Nevertheless, as he took another step forward, another shadow sped past him and disappeared in the darkness ahead.
