Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1798

Damn, we have to deal with both an overpowering leader and his powerful subordinates? Who on earth are these people?

The captain of the guards asked in a trembling voice, “W-Who are you people? Trespassing the Ministry of Sacred is punishable by law!”

“I am the law here in Eurasia, and I have come to arrest the head of the Ministry of Sacred! Take us to his family members inside, or we shall kill you all with no exceptions!” Zeke ordered coldly.

This historical building has a very complex structure due to its many passageways and hidden tunnels, so the guards must know the place very well if they are defending it!

The captain fell silent.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Zeke materialized his Dragon King Sword and held it against the captain's throat as he repeated, “Take us to the head of the Ministry of Sacred and his family right now!”

The captain clenched his teeth. “I have pledged my life to serve the Ministry of Sacred, and I shall not betray—”

Zeke sliced his throat before he could finish, and the captain's lifeless body collapsed to the floor.

He then pointed the sword at another guard and said, “You only have one chance, so think twice before you give your answer.”

The guard mumbled nervously, “M-My life belongs to the Ministry of Sacred, so I will never—”

Slash!

The guard's head went rolling off with a slash from the Dragon King Sword.

It wasn't until Zeke had cut down five of them that the sixth one finally broke and agreed to take them through the secret tunnels.

Meanwhile, the head of the Ministry of Sacred's family members had witnessed the gruesome scene through the security cameras.

They quickly gathered around to discuss how they would deal with the impending danger.

His wife, Juliana Campbell, said, “Those guys are way too tough! The Ministry of Sacred is no match for them! Our only option is to escape through the secret passageways!”

Everyone else agreed with her suggestion.

Juliana then turned toward the head of their bodyguard, Sideburns, and said, “Take us out of here, now!”

“Roger!”

Sideburns then picked four young men out of his team of bodyguards and ordered, “You guys are to stay here and drive the intruders away. Do not come looking for us until you have done so!”

In other words, he was ordering them to sacrifice themselves to buy time so the family members could escape.

Naturally, the four men weren't pleased with the arrangement. “But we'll die if we stay here, Boss!”

“This is an order! Disobeying it will result in you being considered traitors to the Ministry of Sacred and executed!” Sideburns retorted coldly.

The four men didn't dare say another word after that.

Sideburns then quickly escorted the family members through the secret passageways, and Zeke arrived with his men shortly after.

All that greeted them were the four bodyguards with murderous looks on their faces.

They drew their swords and pointed them at Zeke as they shouted in unison, “Those who dare intrude into the Ministry of Sacred shall die!”

Zeke couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on them and simply drew his Dragon King Sword before charging forward.

To his surprise, the four bodyguards threw their weapons aside and kneeled down before him upon seeing the Dragon King Sword.

“Wait! Don't kill us, Master!”

“Huh?”

Zeke put his Dragon King Sword away, confused.

He stared closely at their faces and confirmed that he had never seen them before.

“Who are you? We have never met before, so why did you call me Master?” he asked curiously.

“Our father is Samuel Newman, one of the spies from the North. His code number is one, zero, zero, and he was placed here in the Ministry of Sacred. However, he died in an accident a few years ago, and we've been continuing his work gathering intel here ever since. He told us that our master wields the Dragon King Sword, so we're guessing that's you.”
