Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2298

“Mmm-hmm,” Zeke grunted, “update me immediately once you find something.”

“Understood!”

After ending the call, Zeke contacted Ares, Tyler, Nameless, and the others, ordering them to return at once.

Even though they were sent on their respective missions, the priority now was to rescue Killer Wolf.

As Ares and the others were all powerful warriors who were at least King Class and above, the speed of their travel came close to breaking the sound barrier.

Despite being assigned to different corners of Eurasia, all of them were gathered in front of Zeke in just half an hour.

Even Sole Wolf's mount, Tiger Lord, had rushed to the scene.

Ares asked curiously, “Great Marshal, why have you summoned us with such urgency?”

Taking a deep breath, Zeke explained, “Killer Wolf is in danger, and we are going to rescue him now.”

What?

Ares and everyone else was shocked.

They were well aware of how dear Killer Wolf and the others were to Zeke. If anything untoward were to happen to Killer Wolf, Zeke would undoubtedly go on a rampage.

On top of that, they, too, had formed a close friendship with Killer Wolf as time went by. Now that the latter was in a life-threatening situation, they were equally distressed.

Hence, the group asserted, “Great Marshal, there's no time to waste. We have to save Killer Wolf at once.”

“That's right, Great Marshal. Only the most powerful of enemies can pose a threat to Killer Wolf. Under such circumstances, every second must feel like torture to him.”

“The earlier we set off, the greater the chance of his survival.”

Zeke nodded in agreement. “Let's roll!”

With that, the group sped off at breakneck speed.

At that moment, Zeke's power was equivalent to that of Celestial Class, while Nameless and Tiger Lord belonged to Ultimate Class. As for the rest, they were all King Class warriors. As a result, all of them could travel faster than the speed of sound.

Even though Gold Mountain was five hundred miles away, they arrived in its vicinity in the blink of an eye.

Instead of charging up the mountain, they settled in a small town nearby to rest and prepare.

Firstly, they might be up against an immensely strong enemy. Thus, they had to make sure they were in their best condition for battle.

Secondly, they had to replenish their supplies with food and medication.

Even though they could go on for a few days without food or water, Killer Wolf would likely be in a weakened condition due to his grievous injuries. Therefore, they had prepared supplies for him as a precaution.

Once the procurement was completed, Zeke led his men to a small restaurant and ordered some food.

Obviously, their priority wasn't the food. Instead, they were looking for more information with regards to Golden Sands Mountain.

After all, written reports could never beat local knowledge in terms of accuracy.

Once they finished their meal, Sole Wolf went to establish a relationship with the restaurant owner when he went to settle the bill.

“Boss, I gave you an extra ten. You can keep the change. Just take it as a sign of our friendship.”

As the proprietor was an honest man, he frantically refused, “No, no, I can't accept this. As our prices are clearly stated, doing so would be considered as taking advantage of our customers. If word gets out, our reputation would be ruined!”

Sole Wolf reassured him, “Don't worry. Our lips are sealed. No one will know.”

The owner insisted, “No, no, I must give you your change back. I don't charge for nothing.”

Sole Wolf suggested, “Why don't we do this? Just keep the money but think of it as payment for information, all right?”

The owner pondered for a moment. “Mmm-hmm. Fine, ask away. I'll definitely tell you whatever I know.”

Sole Wolf continued, “Tell me everything about Gold Mountain, as we're here for a sightseeing trip.”

The moment the owner heard that they were on holiday, a nervous expression descended upon his face. He persuaded them against it. “Young man, heed my advice, you had better not go sightseeing at Gold Mountain. It's not a place for the living.”

Sole Wolf asked curiously, “Oh? Why do you say that?”
