Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2432

“I don't think so. My gut feeling tells me that you might run into trouble within these next few days.”

Lacey's helplessness was written all over her face.

Being aware of Zeke's overprotectiveness, she understood that it was what led him to constantly believe that she was in danger.

That became the cause for some vexation on her part.

He's the Great Marshal of Eurasia, and the security of Eurasia is his responsibility. So how could he continue to hang around me all day long?

That filled her heart with some guilt.

At that moment, Zeke suddenly felt the tingle of a familiar energy.

This is... an energy signature unique to Sole Wolf.

It was seemingly beckoning at Zeke as though it was prompting him to convene with them.

Zeke had tasked Sole Wolf and the others to find Killer Wolf, but he did not know whether they had managed to do so.

Immediately, Zeke turned to regard Lacey. “I may need to step away for a while. Just stay inside the office, and don't go anywhere else. Do you understand?”

Lacey nodded. “Yeah, I got it. Don't worry about me. Just go ahead and do whatever you have to do.”

“Okay.”

Zeke then hustled out of the office.

Following Sole Wolf's unique energy signature, he soon arrived at a quiet corner outside of the building, where he found Sole Wolf and the others waiting for him anxiously.

His heart skipped a beat when he gave the group a once over and noticed Killer Wolf was not among them.

As expected, something has indeed happened to him.

“Where is Killer Wolf?” he asked in his deep voice.

Sole Wolf's tone was heavy with contrite and grief. “We weren't able to locate Killer Wolf, Zeke.”

That drew an irked frown from Zeke. “Haven't I already sent you Killer Wolf's exact location? Why couldn't you find him?”

“He was gone by the time we got there. We went in pursuit in the direction where his aura disappeared but did not manage to get far before it vanished completely. It was as though someone had snuffed out his aura,” Sole Wolf explained.

Hearing that caused Zeke to become somewhat worried.

Killer Wolf's aura couldn't have vanished for no reason. Chances are, someone must have erased it. Should that be the case, then that person must have ulterior designs on Killer Wolf.

Having long regarded Killer Wolf as his brother, Zeke dreaded to imagine anything untoward happening to him.

Despite his anxiety, he purposefully maintained a veneer of calm to offer his subordinates some words of comfort. “Chin up. I'm going to exert some energy to track down Killer Wolf's whereabouts. He has to be okay, for I would have known otherwise.”

The lot of them then collectively looked to Zeke with anticipation.

Although they understood that Zeke had likely said what he did simply to console them, they would rather willfully have themselves believe otherwise.

None of them was ready to contend with the plausibility of Killer Wolf's possible demise.

Closing his eyes, Zeke unleashed energy that instantly stretched out for miles around.

At present, the feat of extending the range of his energy was now very much considered a cakewalk.

Soon, he opened his eyes and said, “I've got it.”

That made the others tense up.

“I felt Killer Wolf's presence near Unholy Valley. His vital signs are still intact,” Zeke said.

The lot of them breathed out in relief, but bafflement soon followed.

“Why did Killer Wolf wind up in Unholy Valley? As badly injured as he was, that surely can't be the sort of place that he would find conducive for recuperation.”

“I agree. There's something really fishy about this.”

“Time's a-wasting, so let's just get over there and find him. Move out!”

Upon Zeke's command, the group made their way toward the direction of Unholy Valley with all haste.

Barely moments into their departure, two individuals stepped out from behind a small hill. They were Netherworld's Erebus and Warren.

Earlier, Erebus had used powerful means to veil their auras. That was why Zeke had not been able to detect their presence.

The sneering Erebus had a look of disdain about him. “Hah! Falling for my tricks so easily. This famed Great Marshal is a far departure from his master and doesn't really amount to much, after all.”

“Please do not underestimate him, Elder Erebus. His methods are highly unorthodox, and he excels at playing the long game. Quite often, there is more to him than meets the eye...”
