Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1732

I probably landed myself in big trouble this time.

Warren laughed maniacally. “Enjoy your stay in prison, Zeke. It'll be your permanent residence. I'll be going up to take your place and enjoy the world's worship. Men, heed my call!”

“Yes, Sir.” Quasar and the members of the Fourth Branch kneeled before Warren.

“Stay here and keep a close watch on Zeke. Once I go to Eurasia, I'll bring back more of its Fortuna.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Warren caressed the snake-dragon lovingly. “Wait for me, Jacob. Soon you'll have all the Eurasia Fortuna you want. Once you become a dragon, we can go anywhere we want in this world.”

Jacob, the snake-dragon, nodded greedily.

Warren gave Zeke one last mocking look before he leaped up and flew toward the top of the valley.

Zeke was in despair. He knew that his legion would now be commanded by Warren, and that fiend would spend all the resources however he wanted. Even his family would fall into Warren's hands.

Zeke had never felt so hopeless before. He knew if he didn't escape, his whole world would be ruined. I have to escape this place. I have to. No matter what.

He took a deep breath and calmed his racing heart down. What he needed was a plan to break free, so he started brainstorming. Eurasia had billions of people, and the Fortuna that was created by that kind of faith energy was too powerful for him to break alone.

The only path he could take now was to merge himself with Eurasia's Fortuna. That was his only chance at escaping.

Merging myself with Fortuna, huh? That's a viable plan. Zeke's eyes glinted with hope.

It didn't take long for Warren to ascend Bloodshot Valley. When he came back on top, Sole Wolf and Tiger Lord were still defending against the fighters from the Orient and the International Bureau of Executioners.

Stefan got it the worst. His head was already a bloody mess, but Sole Wolf still wouldn't let him off the hook.

When they saw Zeke return, all of them heaved a sigh of relief and huddled around him.

“Did you find anything, Zeke?”

“What's in the valley?”

Zeke shook his head. “Nothing. Just a deserted wasteland. Let's retreat for now.”

“Huh?” Everyone stared at him in confusion. They were surprised Zeke wanted to retreat. “We're going to retreat just like this, Zeke? I don't think there's nothing in the valley. Something must be down—”

Zeke glared at them angrily. “I said retreat! Understand?”

Sole Wolf and the others were shocked and nervous, for that was the first time they had seen Zeke flying into such a rage.

Sole Wolf thought it was a waste, but still, he said, “I see. What should we do with them, then?”

“Let them go,” Zeke said.

Let them go? Are you serious? They couldn't believe Zeke was telling them to let the enemies go. He would never do that kind of thing in the past.

“Did you hear me?” Zeke said. “Do I need to repeat myself?”

Zeke's team looked at each other and conversed silently. They thought Zeke was letting the enemies go because he had his own reasons to do so. As for the reason, they thought Zeke just couldn't disclose it at the moment.

In the end, Zeke's team let Stefan and the others go.

“Keep defending the North. I have some matters to deal with. Alone. Do not follow me, hear that?”

Sole Wolf quickly dissuaded him, “Zeke, I think you should stay here for the moment. Quasar is nowhere to be found. If he makes a full recovery, we'll be facing a King Class warrior, and frankly, we are no match for him.”

Zeke answered, “Ignore Quasar. He's not a big problem for now, and don't even try to search for him. If you don't get in his way, he won't do anything to you.”

Before the team could say anything against that, Warren left quickly, worried that he might expose himself if he stayed.

Sole Wolf and the gang were flabbergasted by everything that had happened. The Great Marshal isn't acting like himself today. Not only did he let the Orients and the guys from the International Bureau of Executioners go, but he also left his soldiers behind to fend for themselves. And he even asked us to stop the search for Quasar.
