Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2152

“Da*n it!” the voice scowled.

Suddenly, Sheldon's body flew through the air before crashing hard onto the ground.

The impact was so devastating that he coughed out two mouthfuls of blood.

Ignoring the excruciating pain, he groveled on the ground. “Your Majesty, I bow to you as my apology. Please spare me, I beg of you. Please spare me.”

“King” thundered, “You are nothing but a failure! What use do I have of you? If you are unable to acquire the partnership rights for Project Mitxel, you deserve to lose your head. Get lost now and don't get in the way of my training!”

Sighing, Sheldon explained, “Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I won't be able to complete the task by myself. Initially, I had everything under control until someone unexpected appeared. He was so strong that I-I wasn't his match at all.”

King sneered, “Strong? Hmph, no one in this world dares to utter that word in front of me. Tell me, what exactly happened? I won't blame you if the enemy was indeed too powerful for you.”

Sheldon quickly related everything that happened to King.

Having heard everything, King sneered, “In a nutshell, Rhett's close relationship with Linton Group is the reason for your failure?”

Sheldon nodded. “You can put it that way.”

King asserted, “In that case, I'll kill Rhett for you and the problem will naturally be solved.”

Sheldon added quickly, “Ideally, killing the head of Linton Group will dramatically increase our chances.”

He proceeded to share his plan in detail with King who responded with a smirk.

“All right then, we'll go along with your plan.”

Sheldon continued, “Your Majesty, I have brought a gift for you and wonder if you're interested in it?”

The “gift” that Sheldon mentioned was naturally Lucy, who was waiting downstairs.

King nodded. “Mmm-hmm, I can already sense her. Not bad. Send her up.”

Sheldon acknowledged immediately, “Yes, Your Majesty. I'll get her right away.”

With that, Sheldon exited the room fearfully.

It wasn't until he walked out of the room that he realized his entire back was covered in sweat.

Every time he visited King, he would feel as if it was a trip to purgatory, for King was just too strong, mysterious, and terrifying.

In truth, Sheldon barely knew King.

The entire matter started just a few days ago.

Just when Sheldon was having coffee with his feeble father, the latter, who was paralyzed from the waist down, sprang to his feet and stared intently at him, giving Sheldon a shock.

Sheldon wasn't just stunned by the fact that his father could stand, it was the look in his father's eyes that unsettled him.

The piercing cold gaze seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

At that moment, Sheldon suddenly felt as if a stranger had possessed his father's body.

It turned out that his gut feeling was right.

His “father” told him to address him as “King”, for a spirit had taken control of his father's body.

Subsequently, “King” threatened to kill Sheldon's father if Sheldon didn't do as he was told.

In the beginning, when Sheldon didn't believe King, the latter took control of Sheldon's body telepathically.

It wasn't until Sheldon felt his consciousness separated from his physical body that he believed in King's words.

King even promised Sheldon that if he did his bidding willingly, he would teach the latter the path to immortality.

At that moment, Sheldon experienced a paradigm shift.

For the sake of becoming an immortal, Sheldon decided to submit to King and disregard his father's survival.

Soon, he returned to the first floor where Lucy hurried up to him.

“Mr. Guerrero, what did your father say?”
