Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1873

“Since you're a soldier from the North, you must be able to talk to Dragon Master or report to him?” queried Emma.

“Yes,” answered Zeke while nodding.

He did not continue to insist that he was Dragon Master, knowing that she would not believe him despite what he said.

“I need you to tell him something. To be exact, just two words.”

Curious, he asked, “What do you want to tell him?”

What would a girl at the bottom of society have to say to Dragon Master?

“Kush. Collapse.”

Her words took him by surprise.

All of a sudden, he lifted his head, and his eyes lit up.

Kush. She mentioned Kush at this crucial moment. This must be related to Kush Clan.

Hence, he hurriedly questioned, “What do you mean by Kush and collapse? Why do you say that? By Kush, do you mean the Kush Clan?”

Needless to say, Emma was taken aback, for she did not expect those two ordinary words to cause such a strong reaction from Zeke.

Instantaneously, she explained, “I don't know what they mean. I'm also not sure what does Kush stands for. My father was the one who asked me to tell Dragon Master these two words.”

The next moment, Zeke stood up. “Who's your father? Where is he now? I want to meet him. Take me there.”

At that moment, he realized that there was a possibility that Emma's father had crossed paths with Kush Clan before.

Emma quickly responded, “Please calm down. Actually, I haven't seen my father for a long time. He has disappeared.”

“Disappeared? What happened? Tell me now.”

Glancing at her daughter, who was in her arms, Emma noticed that Amelia was already drowsy.

Thus, she brought Amelia into the bedroom so that she could sleep.

Soon, she came out and poured a cup of tea before immersing into her memories.

“When I was young, about the same age as Amelia, I knew that my father was a soldier from the North. He has always been my pride. However, we suddenly heard a piece of shocking news one day. Adamant Company—the company my father was a part of—had betrayed Eurasia en masse and fled abroad. At that instant, I felt like the sky has collapsed on me. I never believed that my father would betray the country. Yet, he has never shown up all these years. Not even once!”

“If your father has never shown up, how did he ask you to send a message to Dragon Master?”

Smiling wryly, Emma stated, “This might sound weird, but two years ago, I began to dream about my father a lot. In the dream, I walked to the door of a bar in a daze and saw him coming out of the bar. He looked distressed as if he had too much to drink. Then, he held my hand and started babbling. I couldn't hear what he said clearly, but he kept repeating the words 'Kush' and 'collapse' and told me to convey these words to Dragon Master. I've always thought that it was just a dream. However, one day, I discovered Sage Bar, which is the bar I'm running now. It's exactly the same bar as the bar in my dream, including all the details. No, to be exact, the bar in my dream is Sage Bar. I've never been to Sage Bar before, let alone seen it. Since I haven't seen it, how can I dream of it? I suspect that my father was hinting me something with this dream and that he was hiding in the bar. Hence, I spent my life's savings to buy this bar, looking for my father while operating it. Unfortunately, I've not found anything all these years.”
