Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2267

That sorcerer from Dullioud might merely be a minor pawn in this matter.

Zeke had suspected this previously and thought that a mere sorcerer from Dullioud could not carry out such a grand plan by himself. It meant he had someone powerful supporting him.

It seemed his suspicion was founded.

Daemonium was most probably here for Fortuna.

Thus, Fortuna could be in danger!

Zeke immediately contacted Fortuna through his consciousness. “Fortuna, how is your condition?”

Soon, Zeke received a reply from Fortuna. “I feel powerful. The aura here is powerful and beneficial to me. Zeke, you should hurry here and bath yourself in this aura. It is good for your body.”

Zeke asked, “I'm asking whether you came across any dangerous people or something dangerous happened!”

Fortuna said, “It's so nice. Damn, this feels so good. I'm willing to stay here forever. Zeke, are you coming here or not? If you're not, stop bothering me as I absorb the energy here.”

Zeke was relieved.

Although Fortuna did not answer his question, Zeke could hear from its tone and speech that Fortuna was safe.

Therefore, Zeke focused his attention on Cesar again.

Zeke did not dare to make himself known. He feared that Daemonium could be hiding nearby. Furthermore, Cesar might only be a bait to lure Zeke out.

Thus, to test whether Daemonium was nearby, Zeke patted Sole Wolf's shoulder and said, “Sole Wolf, may I trouble you to make a run.”

Sole Wolf, “Sure. Zeke, do you want me to kill or immobilize them?”

Zeke replied, “Your purpose is to test whether Daemonium is nearby. Therefore, don't beat them too hard.”

Daemonium?

Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf were stunned and looked at Zeke with confusion. “Zeke, are you talking about that Daemonium from the Netherworld? Zeke, do you mean...”

Zeke scolded, “Have neither of you sensed a wave of familiar energy residue around here?”

Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf immediately closed their eyes to sense their surroundings.

Soon, they reopened their eyes, showing the burning fury within them. Killer Wolf said, “There's a residue of Daemonium's negative energy in the surrounding. It seems he is the true mastermind behind this!”

Sole Wolf added, “Damn those b*stards from the Netherworld! They can't defeat us, but they keep harassing us. We must grab hold of them and exterminate them once and for all!”

Zeke said, “Netherworld had been around for hundreds, or perhaps nearly a thousand years. It is not that easy to destroy them fully. “Sole Wolf... Forget it. Killer Wolf, go sound Daemonium out instead. You are more astute than Sole Wolf and better able to adapt according to the situation.”

Sole Wolf's mouth twitched unhappily.

I have a brain too. How can Zeke say I am less astute? I only didn't bother to use it. If I start using my brain, not just Killer Wolf, even Zeke might not outsmart me.

Meanwhile, Killer Wolf took off his jacket and covered half of his face before walking with swag toward Cesar.

Cesar quickly saw Killer Wolf and asked, “Who the heck are you?”

Killer Wolf replied coldly, “This is my territory. Leave your valuables if you wish to pass through here.”

Cesar responded mockingly, “Oh, you're just an annoying bandit. Get out of my sight. I'm warning you not to anger me. Otherwise, I will make you suffer!”

Killer Wolf said, “How dare you look down on us bandits? I will show you how powerful I am!”

After saying that, Killer Wolf charged at Cesar.

Cesar refused to be outdone. He sneered and released a trine worm.

The trine worm flew toward Killer Wolf.

Killer Wolf reacted swiftly. When the trine worm had reached in front of him, he pretended to trip on a rock and successfully evaded it.

The pretense was necessary because Zeke and the others suspected Daemonium was observing from his hiding place. If Killer Wolf displayed his abilities, it would trigger Daemonium's suspicion and alert him to escape.
