Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1782

The waves were filled with negative energy.

Right after that, something strange happened.

The Fortuna covering the crowd disappeared suddenly. At the same time, it also began absorbing lots of Fortuna from the crowd.

This meant that not only did the people who were worshipping not receive any Fortuna, but they even lost some of their own in return.

Without a doubt, it was the Netherworld's doing.

There was no limit to their greed.

They were not satisfied by consuming the second Fortuna only and were now going after all the citizens' luck as well.

Zeke took a deep breath, getting ready to make a move.

At that juncture, Charles shouted out a command, “Everyone, retreat now! The Fortuna is too strong, and you guys have absorbed enough. If you continue, you might end up exploding!”

Upon hearing that, the crowd was skeptical about it and reluctant to leave.

Zeke then noticed a tendril of negative energy entering a citizen's nose.

The next second, blood spilled from all the orifices in his body before the citizen collapsed to the ground.

Charles yelled wrathfully, “See! He died for absorbing too much Fortuna. You're more than welcome to stay if you guys want to end up like him.”

Seeing that example, the crowd panicked and began to leave the scene.

Zeke's lips curled into a cold smile.

What a childish trick from the Netherworld members. That man clearly died from negative energy!

Lacey stared at Zeke cautiously. “Zeke, I...”

Zeke patted her shoulder gently. “Go back to the hotel first. Don't worry. I've arranged for my men to protect you secretly.”

“Okay!”

With that, Lacey grabbed Missy's hand and left in a hurry.

Zeke had requested Big Back and his men to protect Lacey and Missy in secret.

Big Back and his men were warriors from the North. Even though they could not compare with Ares or Sole Wolf, they should be capable of dealing with most dangers.

After the crowd left, Charles flashed a cold smile at Zeke. “Haha, Zeke Williams! I didn't expect you to stay. Thank you for giving me such a good opportunity for revenge.”

Zeke shook his head while sighing. “Everything you have, including your life, was given to you by Eurasia. Yet you chose to be ungrateful and do evil deeds. How dare you help the enemy steal Eurasia's Fortuna? You don't deserve to live!”

Charles sneered, “Really? Let's see who will be the last one standing! You have no idea who you've crossed!”

Zeke smiled suddenly. “I should be the one saying that to you! Everyone, assemble!”

Sole Wolf, Tyler, and the rest hiding in the shadows showed themselves in front of Zeke.

They were still in their disguises.

Charles was utterly amused upon seeing that. “It looks like you came fully prepared. But why did you invite a bunch of old people? What kind of show is it? This is hilarious! I bet I don't even need to use my trump card then. I can bring you all down by myself! Men, reveal yourselves!”

However, there was no response.

Charles furrowed his brows and shouted, “Members of the Ministry of Sacred, come out now! Kill them!”

Still, he was welcomed with dead silence.

Just then, Sole Wolf piped up, “That's enough, stop yelling. Are you looking for the guards that you've arranged around the perimeter? They were all defeated by us earlier.”

Charles did not believe him at all. “How is that possible? I've arranged for several hundred men to be here, and they're all top fighters! How could you bunch of oldies wipe them out without making a noise?”

“F*ck you! You're the old guy here.” Sole Wolf started taking off his disguise and showed his true self.
