Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2221

Evidently, it had been a while since anyone came to harvest the green beans, for most had grown and was too mature to be edible anymore.

Once the villagers entered the greenhouses, they began working by digging the soil and sowing the land.

Zeke and Sole Wolf shared a look, and they saw the shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Sole Wolf then asked, “What's going on, Zeke? Is the Dulliouds controlling the villagers to sow the land?”

Zeke shook his head in response. “I'm not too sure.”

“Zeke, could it be that the Dulliouds aren't the ones controlling them? Is it possible that a Muraco Clan is controlling them instead?

The Dulliouds never thought of agriculture as anything important, and they don't know how to use cursed parasitic worms. Unlike them, the Muraco Clans thought of agriculture as the most important thing in their life, and they were the ones who invented cursed parasitic worms.

After mulling over Sole Wolf's words for a while, Zeke muttered, “That's possible. Let's see what they've planted first.”

He then crouched down and dug the soil to get the seed.

It looked like the seed of a normal bean. Even after studying it for a long time, Zeke noticed nothing out of the ordinary about it.

He then threw it to Sole Wolf and said, “Keep it and give it to Cygnus Room so that they can run tests on it.”

Sole Wolf then carefully kept the seed. “No worries, Zeke. I'll definitely get them to run tests to find out what it really is.”

Zeke then said, “Let's go. It's time to meet the Dulliouds.”

“Okay!”

At that, Sole Wolf followed Zeke as he rubbed his palms.

It's time for me to show off my combat skills!

The two then went after the sound of the flute and finally reached the center of the greenhouses.

On a greenhouse of the center was a young man who was doing his best playing the flute.

If their guesses were right, that young man was the culprit.

Zeke and Sole Wolf began walking toward the young man.

Once they were close enough, the young man finally noticed Zeke and Sole Wolf.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and a nervous look crept upon his face.

D*mn it, why aren't these two affected by the flute?

It was an unusual occurrence, and so, the young man began playing the flute even more vigorously as he attempted to control Zeke and Sole Wolf.

Nevertheless, despite his efforts, the sound of the flute did nothing to Zeke and Sole Wolf.

Afraid, the young man turned to run.

Unfortunately for him, Sole Wolf had already dashed forward as swift as lightning, and swung a punch at him.

In the next second, the young man fell off the top of the greenhouse and fell right before Zeke's feet.

Zeke then stepped on the young man, but as he was using too much force, he broke one of the young man's ribs.

The young man screeched, “Who- Who are you? How dare you fight against us? You must be trying to die!”

Zeke questioned, “Who are you? Why are you controlling the villagers with the cursed parasitic worms?”

The young man gritted his teeth before hissing, “Hmph! You'll be frightened out of your wits if I tell you who we are.”

Thus, Zeke exerted more force and broke another of the young man's bones.

“I'm asking you questions, so answer them.”

The young man could barely breathe through the pain of having two rib bones broken. “I... I'll tell you. I'm a Dullioud...”

Zeke then asked, “Why are you alone here at the base? Where are the others?”

The young man swiftly replied, “This isn't Dullioud's base. There's only me here.”

Crack!

Without hesitation, Zeke broke another of his bone. “If you dare to lie to me again, I'll end you right here and now.”

Sole Wolf cackled. “I'd advise you to cooperate with him. Cut the nonsense. Your comrade has already confessed that there's a Dullioud base here. He even handed us the list of names.”

The young man clenched his teeth and snarled, “D*mn it. I can't believe that b*stard actually betrayed Dullioud. He deserves nothing but death!”

Without a doubt, the young man guessed that the Dullioud sent to assassinate Dawn and Lacey had betrayed them and the location of the base.

Zeke then uttered, “This is your last chance.”

At that, the young man hurriedly said, “I'll tell you everything! I will! The others are hiding nearby. I... I can lure them over.”

He knew that he was no match for the two. If the others came to the base, they might be able to kill the two men by working together.
