Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2034

“Got it,” said Andres.

Under the cover of night, Zeke sneaked into the herb plantation.

Progenitor seemed much more active than before after its recovery. As soon as Zeke returned, it kept nudging his leg with its head.

Zeke kicked at it gently a couple of times, then used his consciousness to communicate with it. Be good and play dead later. Got it? If you ruin my plans, I'll roast you alive.

Progenitor: Are you a monster?

Zeke: If you do as I say, I'll be as kind as an angel. If you don't, then I'll be as terrifying as a monster.

Progenitor just glared at him.

I've had three owners in the past, and none of them were as brutal as you. I can promise you that I'll play dead later but on one condition.

Zeke: What is it?

Progenitor: I want you to put an end to the master-servant relationship. I don't want you to be my master anymore.

The Progenitor was filled with regret, wondering why it had such a ruffian as its master and berating itself for being an idiot.

Zeke gave a cold smile. It's too late to regret it now.

Progenitor: If you don't promise me that, I won't cooperate with you.

Zeke: Do you mean that?

Progenitor: Of course!

Suddenly, Zeke slapped Progenitor so forcefully that it fainted.

“You don't get to decide whether you want to cooperate with me or not,” he muttered.

Then, Zeke hid in the shadows. Quiet and motionless, he melded so perfectly into the darkness that even an Ultimate Class warrior would probably find it difficult to notice his presence.

As he waited, he could not help wondering who the traitor was.

The first person that popped into his mind was Peter.

Peter went as far as to kill Mona and frame me, just for the sake of getting his revenge. Hence, it's highly likely that he's the traitor. Or it could be Mr. Jeremiah. He has always had it out for me without caring about the clan's interests, so he's a possible suspect too.

As he was deep in thought, Progenitor gradually regained consciousness.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

Zeke commanded: You'd better hurry up and play dead. If you ruin my plans, I won't have mercy on you.

As soon as Progenitor heard Zeke’s voice in its head, it recalled what happened and flew into a rage.

You b*stard! How dare you hit me! You have no conscience! You’re inhumane and despicable! This time, you’ve gone too far!

Zeke stormed toward Progenitor.

Sensing Zeke’s anger, Progenitor paled. B*stard! W-What do you think you’re doing? Stay right there. Don’t take another step. I’ll… I’ll cooperate with you, okay?

There was another loud slap as Zeke struck Progenitor a second time. Once again, it fainted.

Sometimes, brute force is the only way to settle a situation.

Hearing the faint sound of footsteps from afar, Zeke slid back into the shadows at once.

Soon, he saw a shadowy figure walking in his direction, moving through the darkness like a phantom.

As the person approached the cave, two black panthers sprang out from each side of the entrance and attacked.

They were the two Sacred Beasts!

However, the dark figure was well-prepared and quickly sprinkled some powder on herself.

The two beasts froze. As soon as they landed on the ground, they retreated without a sound.

Seeing their strange behavior, Zeke suspected that the powder's scent was probably reminiscent of someone, such as their clan leader or an elder. Hence, they no longer dared to attack.

Meanwhile, the person who had just fended off the attack was getting closer to Progenitor.

Zeke studied the figure carefully.

Although the person wore a black suit and a mask, Zeke could clearly make out a slender yet curvy figure. He frowned. That's not a man! That's a woman! The traitor is a woman, not Peter or Mr. Jeremiah!
