Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1699

Zeke asked softly, “What's wrong, Tiger Lord?”

It growled.

Zeke understood what it meant. “Tiger Lord managed to detect the scent of a lot more shadows in front. This means that it's most probably the Netherworld branch or headquarters! Let's hurry up.”

Everyone hastened forward.

After climbing a hill, they were surprised by the scene that unfolded in front of them.

There was a vast river beneath the hill, whose surface was already covered with ice.

The harsh winds blew, stripping the place of any warmth.

It was approximately fifty degrees Celsius beneath the freezing point.

No organism could survive in this temperature, but the riverbanks were filled with tens of thousands of people.

Crowds of people rushed around, bumping into each other.

With ten people in a group, they were digging at the ground. Their hot puffs of breaths formed mist clouds in the air.

There were thousands of tents set up on the peripheries.

The tents were extremely old, with some parts clearly damaged by the harsh winds.

It seemed like the people had been digging there for a long time.

Sole Wolf asked carefully, “Zeke, do you think that this is the Netherworld headquarters?”

Zeke shook his head. “It doesn't seem like it!”

The Tenth Branch, which had been led by Jackson from the Ten Commandments, had more than ten thousand people.

The Netherworld headquarters definitely had more people.

However, since there were only a little more than ten thousand here, it was probably just another Netherworld branch.

Sole Wolf asked, “What are they digging for? I think that there might be some treasures to be found underground!”

“Yeah,” grunted Zeke distractedly before scanning the crowd for Missy.

However, after searching around, he could not spot Missy at all.

His attention focused on those tents.

If his guess was right, Missy might be in one of those tents.

Tyler said, “Look! Aksel and the shadow walked into a tent in the eastern side.”

Zeke glanced over.

Considering how the tent at the eastern side was the largest and most luxurious-looking, it was probably the command center.

There were more than a hundred people guarding the tent.

Aksel and the shadow could only enter after several rounds of inspections.

As those people from the Netherworld were interested in Missy's martial talent, they might have locked her up in this tent that had the highest security.

Killer Wolf asked, “Should we attack, Zeke?”

Zeke shook his head. “Let's not alert them for now. There are too many people from the Netherworld scattered around. If we act rashly, some of them will definitely escape. Inform the soldiers in the North to seal this area and not let anyone leave.”































Sole Wolf said, “I'll inform them right away.”

He whipped out the radio and contacted the soldiers in the North.

At that moment, Aksel walked out with a few people following them.

There was a girl and three elderly people.

When Zeke caught a closer glimpse of the girl's face, his heartbeat quickened as adrenaline surged through him.

She was none other than Missy!

After all those efforts, he had finally found her.

Missy did not look like she had suffered from any injuries.

However, she kept yawning tiredly.

It was unclear whether it was a normal physiological response or because the negative energy had depleted her of her energy.

Aksel, the previous inspector of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs, walked in front of Missy.

Three elderly men with white beards followed behind.

Only the shadow was missing.

Zeke suspected that the shadow was actually one of those elderly men's shadows and had already merged with the physical body.

Those three elderly men were definitely high-ranking officials in the Netherworld.

Their actions, demeanor, and clothes were nobler than the average person.
