Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1659

“I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. If the impostor hadn't deceived me, I wouldn't have mistaken him for you. Please, I'm not to blame!” Julian pleaded amidst sobs.

This time, Ares hesitated.

If what Julian said was true, then he, too, was a victim of Connor and did not deserve death.

More importantly, how could he kill his own flesh and blood?

“Father, I know I was wrong. I deserve to die,” Julian whimpered. “All I ask for is your permission to end the impostor's life with my own hands! Please, let me atone for my sins!”

After giving it some thought, Ares finally nodded.

Julian's eyes lit up as he marched toward Connor with a sword.

Since Father has given me the permission to kill the impostor, that must mean he has forgiven me! I'll be safe as long as I do what's necessary!

To Julian's surprise, Connor suddenly burst out laughing.

“Julian, my son. Have you completed the mission that I gave you? Is Lacey Hinton dead yet? You swore that you'd end her life in two days. You haven't forgotten, have you?”

Zeke and Ares tensed up upon hearing Lacey's name as everything started to fall into place.

Julian was the one who had sent Fourth Lord and Camul. Clearly, he could not care less if his sister died.

The more Ares thought about it, the more furious he got.

It's all Julian's fault that Lacey is still in a coma, and Missy got kidnapped by the people from Netherworld! After committing so many heinous crimes, he definitely can't be spared!

“You're unfilial and worse than a monster!” Ares shouted as rage churned inside of him. “I can't believe you'd go so far as to kill your sister. Death won't even be enough to atone for your sins!”

Scared out of his wits, Julian hastily pleaded, “Father, please listen to me. That's all Connor's fault. If he hadn't deceived me...”

To his dismay, his pleas fell on deaf ears.

With one swift stroke of his sword, Ares made sure that Julian had breathed his last.

Soon, Zeke had sucked the King Class warriors dry of their energies and life forces.

He did, however, keep Janus alive.

After all, Janus played an integral role in the Carter sect and might very well know Summerbank's location, the only place that could save Lacey.

Azure Dragon carried on with their massacre, leaving the enemy troops in utter chaos.

Zeke decided to join the fight, so it did not take long before the entire army was annihilated.

All it had taken Zeke and his men were thirty minutes to wipe out an army of more than fifty thousand people.

That, undoubtedly, was a rare sight by any standards.

Just as Zeke was about to interrogate Janus on Summerbank's location, the ground underneath Janus suddenly gave way and swallowed him up.

Damn it! Someone's tunneling below to rescue him!

However, before Zeke could take any action, he was distracted by a muffled thud that rang out behind him.

To his horror, the same thing was also happening to Connor as the ground swallowed the latter up.

It became clear as day that someone was tunneling underground in an attempt to rescue Connor and Janus.

Without further ado, Zeke jumped into the sunken pit and dug away using his energy, determined to give chase to the culprit.

Before long, he had found the tunnel and began his pursuit.

In just a short while, Zeke had caught up with Janus.

However, due to the narrow tunnel, he only managed to grab Janus' legs instead of going after the culprit.

At the same time, the culprit held onto Janus' arms, and both parties began a tug of war.

Alas, Janus was a mere mortal who did not have the means to withstand the strength of two great warriors.

Eventually, a sickening sound rang out in the tunnel as Janus got torn in half.

“Damn it,” the culprit muttered under his breath before throwing Janus aside and making his escape.
