Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2072

Sole Wolf smiled menacingly as he approached Kingsley.

Kingsley was terrified. “Please don't do it! You can't kill me! You can't kill me because... because I'm still useful!”

“And what are you useful for?”

“Uhm, uhm, you want to know where David and Brantley are to save them, right? Right?”

“Of course. Why else would we want to find out where they are?”

Kingsley let out a sigh. “Freddie may be able to lead you inside, but he won't be able to help the two of them escape. I'm useful because I can do just that.”

“Are you looking down on us? We'll definitely be able to save them unless they're kept in hell.”

“Then let me tell you that the place they're kept in is no different from hell. They're locked inside a barrier, and that barrier is designed to make sure both of them can't leave. It'll try to repel them if they get too close. Unless the barrier is shattered, they can't leave. Are you two certain that you can break the barrier?”

Zeke stared at Kingsley. “Barrier, eh? Are you telling the truth?”

“Yes.”

“I can confirm that they are both indeed kept inside a barrier within the firewood shed, Mr. Williams,” Freddie added.

Zeke stayed silent. If they're kept inside a barrier, then this is going to be difficult to deal with. Sure, I can break it fairly easily, but it'll no doubt alert everyone in the Netherworld that we're there. If they surround us, I'm not confident I can protect both of them while busting them out.

He turned to Kingsley. “How do you suggest we break them out of the barrier?”

“From what I can tell, there's a hole inside the barrier. They can escape the prison there without anyone noticing.”

“Very well. We'll do what you say. Let's go right now.” Zeke nodded and stood up.

“Wait a second!” Freddie lifted his hands. “If all of us just walk in like that, people will get suspicious!”

“Then it's up to you two to think of something.”

Kingsley slapped his forehead. “I just remembered that our branch leader asked me to find a few subjects to conduct experiments on. Perhaps we can disguise the two of you as research subjects.”

“Sure,” Sole Wolf agreed.

Zeke nodded before taking out a pouch from his pocket and removing a cursed parasitic worm hiding inside before handing it to Kingsley. “Swallow it.”

Kingsley stared at the worm with goosebumps. “A worm? I-I don't want it. I promise you all that I won't betray you. Please, don't give me the worm. I have a phobia of them-”



A bitter smile appeared on Freddie's face. “I suggest you just eat the worm, Kingsley. It'll save you a lot of pain. Why else do you think I'm following their orders this obediently?”

“You ate a cursed parasitic worm too?” Despair was written on Kingsley's face.

Freddie nodded.

Seeing how there was no other way for him to escape, Kingsley gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and swallowed the worm.

After staying silent for a while, he slowly spoke up. “Let's go. The two of you must follow us very closely and don't make any moves. If we encounter any issues, just let us handle it.”

“Wait a second.” Sole Wolf spoke up. “You mentioned that you came across Warren when you're making your way here, right, Freddie?”

Freddie nodded. “I did.”

“Warren knows what we look like, Zeke. I think it'll be better if we cover our face and find a chance to get rid of him.”

Zeke nodded and used a veil to hide his appearance.

Kingsley and Freddie brought the two of them into the bamboo forest.

The forest had a dead atmosphere to it. Everywhere they went, they could see decay all around. It looked as though it was hell on earth.
