Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1807

Zeke greeted the crowd with a smile, then he took Missy and left. However, the moment he left the restaurant, he felt a pair of eyes watching him closely.

Zeke's instincts were rarely wrong, so he quickly looked around him. A moment later, he realized who was looking at him. It was Hector.

There was mockery in his gaze as if he had managed to carry out a devious plan.

Zeke's brows furrowed. Hector's smile disquieted him, making him feel as if something was off.

“Wow, you're awesome, Daddy. You took that baddie out without even doing anything! I want to grow up to be as strong as you are, Daddy. Look at how the people worshipped you!”

Zeke said nothing to her. In fact, he didn't even hear her, since his eyes were only on Hector, who was already being led away by Ares.

“Daddy? Daddy?” Missy kept calling out to her father until he snapped out of it.

He quickly asked, “What is it, Missy?”

Missy said, “I was saying that I'm going to learn from you and become a superhero. I wanna beat up bad guys and get the people to worship me, too.”

Zeke patted her head, smiling. “Sure. I believe in you, Missy.”

It was at that moment that Zeke realized what was wrong. He could feel that his mental energy was hurt by Hector. It was hard for him to concentrate, and he didn't even hear Missy a while ago.

That would have been impossible in the past. He reckoned that Hector must have used some evil spell that could hurt someone's mental energy. That kind of spell was similar to the one the masked man used to split Zeke's shadow in two.

He's connected to the masked man! Zeke quickly called Ares. “Ares, how's the arrest of the traitors going?”

Ares answered, “All suspects have been arrested, sir. All one hundred and eight of them. Over thirty of them resisted violently and were killed. Everyone else is on death row, waiting for their verdict.”

“I see.” Zeke nodded in satisfaction. That's what I call efficiency. “Isolate Hector Lester and interrogate him in private. It's highly possible that he's related to the masked man.”

“Yes, sir!”

Zeke's head felt uncomfortable for a long while, and that feeling only subsided when night came. Even so, he still felt lethargic, and he couldn't focus his mental energy at all.

Because of that, he went to bed early so he could heal his mental energy. Not long after he went to bed, he felt a silhouette passing by, though that feeling only lasted for a moment.

Even so, that still made Zeke tense up, and he quickly sat up. “Who's there?”

His question was met with nothing but dead silence.

Dammit! He quickly leaped out of bed and chased after the silhouette. When he came out, he found out—to his shock—that there were no guards outside, and the corridor was eerily silent.

Where is everyone? Where did everyone go?

The disappearance of the guards was weird, but it wasn't the time to think about that. The silhouette took precedence, and Zeke kept going after it.

After the silhouette escaped the ministry, it scurried off to a remote area, but Zeke kept chasing after it.

Halfway through the chase, he used his energy to destroy the silhouette's suit and revealed who the intruder was. However, Zeke was in for a shock when he saw the face of the intruder. Hector? I thought Ares took him away. And I specifically told him to keep this guy under watch. How did he escape? And I thought his ribs were broken. How did he heal up so quickly?

There were a lot of weird things going on around here, and Zeke didn't have the answer to any of them. It was perplexing, to say the least.

He roared, “Hold it right there, Hector! Stop right now or I will be forced to attack!”

Hector kept running ahead without saying a word.

That depleted Zeke's patience. He molded his energy into the Dragon King Sword and sent it flying toward Hector. It flew true and struck Hector in his chest. Blood spurted out from the wound, and Hector fell with a thud, motionless.

Zeke went up to the body. Once he confirmed that Hector was no longer breathing, he was about to take the corpse back to the ministry.
