Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1663

George remained calm as he explained, “This is the president's intention. The Alpha Suicide Squad failed to do its job, resulting in Connor taking over the president's residence and controlling the president. Wouldn't you agree that such a crime is punishable by death?”

After making sure he still had everyone's attention, George continued, “The president bestowed this poison on you, yet you let it go to waste! That's equally unforgivable!”

Zeke sneered. “Hah, do you take us for fools? Do you think we'll believe your lies? Reveal your identity at once! Otherwise, prepare to die!”

George sighed, knowing he could no longer pull the wool over Zeke's eyes.

Suddenly, his body shuddered, and a black mist shrouded his face.

When the mist gradually dissipated, his true face was finally revealed.

From the black mist and negative energy, Zeke could already tell that the person in front of him was from Netherworld.

What he used was not a physical disguise but an illusionary technique.

Everyone had fallen prey to his technique, which was why they saw and heard him as George.

However, the bigger shock came after the face reveal.

No one had expected to be staring at the face of a pretty girl.

More importantly, she was Eurasia's top female Archduke, Willow Hanks!

Back in the days, Willow's fame was on par with Zeke and was even hailed as the country's heroine by the president.

During a war against enemies seven years ago, she died tragically on the battlefield.

Zeke had even personally collected Willow's body and attended her burial.

I witnessed her death seven years ago, so what is she doing here? And why would she join Netherworld to plot against me?

Just then, a terrifying thought came to Zeke's mind.

It's true that in folk legends, the netherworld is a place for the dead. Doesn't it mean the members of Netherworld are neither humans nor ghosts?

Meanwhile, Ares found himself growing increasingly emotional with each passing second.

Having fought countless battles alongside Willow, he shared a deep bond with her.

Their comradeship was far greater than anything else, one which others could not fathom.

Ares' voice trembled as he began to speak. “Willow, I can't believe you're still alive. Have you joined Netherworld? Why would you do that and go against Eurasia?”

“Not only am I alive, but I'm also guaranteed to live a very long life,” Willow replied coldly. “This is all thanks to Netherworld, so why shouldn't I pledge my loyalty to them?”

Ares' disappointment showed on his face as he let out a sigh. “The Willow Hanks I know would do anything for Eurasia and stare death in the eye. She'd never cower in fear like you. You're no longer the Willow I know.”

Then, Ares shook his head sadly and added, “Forget it. After what you've done, I'll have to end you today.”

“Sorry, you're not worthy of that,” Willow retorted, her tone full of disdain. “I'm no longer someone you can so easily threaten. Great Marshal is the only one who's worthy enough to take me on.”

Those words sent a jolt of anger through Ares as he snarled, “How dare you! I'll shred you to pieces!”

“Ares, stop!” Zeke interrupted. “She's made an enemy out of me, and I'm going to end her myself.”

Zeke could tell that Willow had long surpassed the King Class and was only a step away from attaining the Ultimate Class.

No matter how hard Ares tried, he would never be her match.

Therefore, Zeke had no choice but to stop Ares from going on a suicide mission.

As for saying he would end Willow's life, that was only his attempt at pacifying Ares.

Hearing his words, Ares frowned, unable to mask his disappointment.

Zeke turned toward Willow and cocked his brow. “Willow, I'm sure there's more to your mission than poisoning the Alpha Suicide Squad. If it were that trivial, you wouldn't have taken it on personally.”
