Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2485

“The sacred land only accepts elderly people. Young people can't go there. Don't worry, for I'll send you both there when you're old,” Hawkeye answered vaguely.

Utter disappointment showed on Yannick and Yoshua's faces.

“Haha!”

Out of the blue, a sneer rang out from ahead.

Yannick, Yoshua, and the others instantly tensed up. “Who's there?”

A man stepped out from behind a huge tree ahead.

He was strapping, but his head was massive, very much disproportionate to his body.

At the sight of him, Hawkeye quickly clarified, “Calm down, everyone. He's on our side. He's known as Megahead. You'll all be working under him henceforth. Hurry up and greet him.”

Yannick and Yoshua hurriedly greeted, “Nice to meet you, Megahead.”

“All right, let's put that aside for now. Right now, I'll make one thing clear for you. The sacred land Hawkeye was speaking about is actually Elysium. I'm spelling it out for you, lest you hound me with questions in the future,” Megahead stated.

Elysium?

A shudder ran through Yoshua. “Boss, is the Elysium you're speaking of... heaven?”

Megahead nodded. “Of course, you can also interpret it as hell.”

“Mr. Hawk, don't tell me you killed our parents?” Yannick exclaimed.

Hawkeye eyed Megahead resentfully. “That wasn't very nice of you, Megahead. Why did you spell things out? Aren't you just creating trouble for me?”

To that, Megahead riposted, “Cut the crap. If I don't spell things out for them, they'll definitely hound me with questions in the future. At that time, I'll be the one in trouble. It's far better to tell them the truth now and save myself trouble down the road. It's great if they can accept it, but if not, just send them to the sacred land as well.”

Yannick and Yoshua's eyes blazed with fury and murderous intent as they gazed at Hawkeye.

They both charged at him without hesitation. “F*ck you! We're going to end you today!”

Likewise, Hawkeye's blood boiled.

“Hmph! What ingrates! If it weren't for me back then, your parents would've long since died from their illnesses. It's already merciful of me to have only taken their lives today. Also, without me, the two of you would've amounted to nothing! Yet, not only are you unappreciative right now, but you even want to kill me. You've got no conscience at all!”

Yannick and Yoshua remained unmoved. They continued lunging toward the man.

Livid, Hawkeye shot his leg out in a seemingly nonchalant manner. Immediately, the two brothers were sent flying. When they hit the ground, they curled up into a ball as excruciating pain racked their bodies.

“I'm giving you both another chance now. If you agree to work for me obediently, I'll let the matter of you attacking me slide. Otherwise, you must die!” Hawkeye threatened.

Yannick and Yoshua gritted their teeth. “We're going to end you no matter what!”

“How foolish.” Sighing, Hawkeye said to Megahead, “Where are your subordinates? Summon them over.”

Megahead snapped his fingers.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rustling noises sounded in the air as seven figures leaped down from the gigantic trees around and marched over.

Their clothes were ragged, and they were all skin and bones. They looked absolutely unkempt, worse than beggars.

Their eyes were dull and lifeless without a hint of light. It was as though they would die anytime.

Hawkeye commanded, “Guys, tie them both up and toss them into the dark cell to reflect on their mistakes.”

Then, he turned to the two brothers. “Yannick, Yoshua, I'm giving you three days to reflect on your mistakes. If you want to live, let everything go and work with us. If you want to die, I can grant you your wish anytime.”

The few “beggars” swiftly lifted Yannick and Yoshua up.

Yannick and Yoshua struggled in fury, making it difficult for the few “beggars” to restrain them.

Upon seeing that, Hawkeye darted over and slapped them both.

The two of them promptly passed out and went motionless.

The “beggars” tossed them into a huge pit at the side before covering it with branches and rolling a gigantic stone over it to prevent them from escaping.

That was the so-called “dark cell” Hawkeye mentioned.
