Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2440

Erebus also realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly said, “Okay, I'll call out one, two, three. Let's stop attacking together.”

“Fine!”

“One... Two... Three!”

Both of them withdrew their attacks at the same time, and the scene was finally quiet again.

Looking at the Fortuna suspended in midair, hesitating to descend, Erebus uttered, “I used a ploy to lead Zeke away. He should've found out that it's a scam by now and should be on his way back. We don't have much time left. Tell me. How should we quickly decide the winner and determine who absorbs the Fortuna?”

The Guardian of Mount Kush replied, “How about this? Let me devour this ray of Fortuna. When the next one arrives, I'll help you devour it.”

Enraged, Erebus yelled, “To hell with you! Do you take me for a fool to believe that you'll help us after we help you devour the Fortuna this time and you've gotten stronger? Who knows? You might even steal the next ray of Fortuna from us too!”

The Guardian of Mount Kush scoffed. “The Kush Clan is different from you lot. We never go back on our words—”

“Cut the cr*p. You might as well let my Netherworld swallow Fortuna, and when the next one appears, we'll help you,” Erebus interrupted.

Naturally, the Guardian of Mount Kush did not agree.

Just as they were at a stalemate, Erebus suddenly muttered that something was wrong.






















“What is it?” Warren hurriedly asked.

Since Erebus had said so, something terrible was definitely about to happen.

“I can sense that Killer Wolf is rapidly approaching our direction. If my guess is right, Zeke must've noticed that it was a ploy to lure him away and is quickly making his way back,” Erebus replied.

Panic struck Warren upon hearing that. “We don't have time to waste, then. We must quickly think of a solution.”

It was the Guardian of Mount Kush who ultimately spoke up. “Why don't we go with this? None of us will devour this ray of Fortuna. Let Lacey do it instead. Once she has done it, we'll take her away to buy us some time. Then we'll battle, and whoever wins gets to devour the Fortuna within her. What do you think?”

“Hmm, that's not a bad idea. But Lacey is an ordinary human being. How can she withstand the Fortuna?” Erebus questioned.

The Guardian of Mount Kush explained, “I'm sure you have no idea of this, but Lacey is an ultra female, which is a perfect match with Zeke's ultra male. The two have the same lifeline and similar auras. Since Fortuna has an innate affinity with Zeke, it'll naturally have the same with Lacey. Hence, it'll be much gentler and won't take her life once it has integrated into her body.”

Erebus nodded in approval. “This is indeed a good idea. All right. Let's go with what you've suggested.”

“Sure.”

With that, a part of the Guardian of Mount Kush's consciousness swept into Lacey's office downstairs.

Under the guidance of this powerful consciousness, Lacey slowly “floated” up to the roof of the building from the window.

She immediately noticed Warren upon arriving at the rooftop and instinctively mistook him for Zeke.

“Why are you here, Zeke? Didn't you go out to handle some matters?”

Warren chuckled lewdly. “I didn't get to sleep with you last time, little tramp, so I definitely won't let you go this time. Just wait. I'll give you an unforgettable experience tonight!”

Lacey's face lost all color when she realized that the man before her was not Zeke but his impersonator.

“You... You're that impersonator! How dare you come back! Zeke will definitely take your life when he gets back. You'd better leave Linton Group immediately.”

Warren responded, “Of course, I will leave, but before I do, I'll take you with me too. I wouldn't want to miss the chance of claiming such a lovely young lady.”

“Y-You...” Lacey blanched with anger.

“Cut the cr*p. Time is running out. Hurry up and guide Fortuna down with me,” Erebus commented.

“All right!”

With that, the Guardian of Mount Kush, Erebus, and Warren began guiding Fortuna down from the sky together.
