Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1780

Suddenly, Zeke's face turned stiff.

He noticed the man who just passed by him had two shadows.

He must be from the Netherworld. There's a high chance that he overheard the conversation between Missy and Ares, so he must know we're waiting in ambush for them. I can't let him report back to Warren and Daemonium.

Zeke used his energy to subdue the man from the Netherworld.

The man was immediately frozen in place. He couldn't move an inch or make any sound.

Zeke gave the 'old woman' some money before uttering, “I'll purchase all your balloons. Help me fill them up with air, will you?”

Zeke gave Ares a quick glance, signaling him to take care of Lacey and Missy. He then went off to interrogate the man from the Netherworld.

Having understood Zeke's signal, Ares nodded. “No problem.”

He took the money and started pumping air into the balloons.

Zeke patted Lacey's shoulder and murmured, “Wait here. I'll be back soon.”

“Okay.” Lacey nodded. She had noted the tenseness in Zeke's expression.

Zeke used his energy to drag the man from the Netherworld behind him and left.

He brought him to a secluded place before stopping. “Get on your knees.”

Using his immense energy, Zeke forced the man to kneel to him.

“Are you from the Netherworld?” Zeke queried in a frigid tone.

“N-Netherworld? I-I don't know what you're talking about.”

Zeke let out a menacing chuckle. “You think I don't know who you are?”

The man felt chills go down his spine. “Are you the Great Marshal? That's impossible! I thought you were being held in Bloodshot Valley. How did you manage to escape from that place?”

Zeke responded nonchalantly, “There's not a place in the world that can trap the Great Marshal. Now tell me, where's Warren?”

The man shook his head. “Warren? Who's that? I-I've never heard of him!”

A stubborn one, aren't you!

Zeke conjured up several powerful “silver needles” using his energy.

He made a simple hand gesture that sent the “silver needles” flying toward the man's shadow at lighting speed.

The “silver needles” turned out to be very effective at harming shadows.

After being hit by the “silver needles”, the man's shadow started to fade away.

In response, the man wailed out loud in pain.

That being said, no one heard his voice as Zeke had enclosed him in an energy barrier.

“Are you willing to talk now? I want Warren and Daemonium's whereabouts.”

The man was having a breakdown.

When the “silver needles” hit my shadow just now, it felt like a plethora of insects were feasting on my organs. I've never experienced such immense pain before.

Terrified, the man replied, “I'll talk, I'll talk. Warren and Daemonium are hiding in the water. Once the Fortuna here matures, they'll jump out of the water and steal the Fortuna.”

Zeke was pensive. “The people from the Netherworld have been hiding in the shadows for centuries. They've never shown themselves to the people in Eurasia. Are you saying that they plan to reveal themselves to the world for the first time in centuries?”

The man shook his head. “No, it's not like that. Before they show themselves, they'll use the Sun Walker to disperse the crowd here.”

Zeke nodded in understanding.

If I'm not wrong, the Sun Walker that he mentioned is Charles.
