Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2498

Minerva rolled her eyes at Daley and did not reply to him.

Daley continued, “Minerva, I'll give you one last chance to come to my arms. You won't get another opportunity like this.”

Minerva clenched her teeth. “Daley, another word of nonsense from you, and I'll get them to kill you.”

Daley grimaced when he heard that. “Hmph! Ungrateful wretch. Starvation awaits you!”

Not long after, the other members returned one by one.

Some were delighted, and some were devastated.

The happy ones were naturally the ones who had gotten something.

The devastated ones were the ones who had either not found the spiritual water or had their spiritual water stolen by others.

Right then, Zeke noticed that three of the members had traces of Phagos' scent on them.

Their skin was positively glowing, and they seemed full of energy. After they returned, they curled up in a spot they found and went to sleep—they did not even wait to get their meals.

When Zeke surveyed the area, he could not find Phagos' body anywhere around.

It was then he realized something.

These three shared Phagos' body and ate it! Theos Island, an island of god? It's more like Hell Island.

Right then, Megahead came out from the tree hollow and stretched. After a glance at the people there, he said, “You're all here, right? Take out everything you've gotten now. Line up and present it one by one.”

Daley was the first in line. “Megahead, I'll do it first. This is what I've gotten today. I hope you'll like it.”

Megahead picked up the porcelain bottle and studied it. “Hmm, not bad. Two drops of spiritual water. Here. This is your reward for today.”

Megahead then gave Daley four buns.

The buns were fresher than the ones from the day before. At the very least, the current buns had yet to spoil.

Of course, that was all it was—unspoiled. No ordinary people that were not living on the island would be able to eat buns like that.

The other members then handed Megahead their findings.

In general, they had a pretty good harvest. Most had found a drop or two of spiritual water.

Only one person could not find even a drop of spiritual water. Naturally, he would not get any food.

That person was an old man in his eighties. Walking was already an issue for him, let alone climbing mountains and wading through water to collect spiritual water.

It had been days since he had eaten, and he was already half-starved to death.

He pleaded, “Megahead, please take pity on me. I'm old. If I don't eat anything soon, I'm going to die!”

Megahead sneered. “Old men like you should be thrown into the stray dogs' area to feed them. I'm already kind enough to keep you around. If you ask for food from me again, I'll kick you out of here.”

The old man was frightened by his words. Worried that Megahead would really kick him out to the stray dogs' region, he quickly moved away from Megahead.

However, he was far too weak. Unable to maintain his balance, he fell onto the ground and passed out.

Zeke's turn was after all of the members.

Megahead gave Zeke an amused look and said, “Tsk, from your expressions, it looks like you didn't get a good harvest today. Ha! You're all men, but you're relying on a woman to survive. Aren't you ashamed?”

Zeke retorted, “Who told you that we're relying on a woman to survive?”

Megahead chuckled. “Someone told me that Minerva has only collected a drop of spiritual water today. The three of you found nothing at all. Aren't you relying on a woman to provide for you then?”

As it turned out, other members had overheard their conversation when they were on their way back. That was how Megahead eventually learned about it.

Daley began mocking again, “Ha, what a b*tch Minerva is! She's selling her body and her hard work to provide for three men. What a wench!”

Yannick and Yoshua lowered their heads. They could not refute Megahead and Daley's words at all, and they were ashamed.

In contrast, Zeke smiled and tossed the porcelain bottle at Megahead. “This is what we've gotten today.”

The moment Megahead grabbed the bottle, his hands shook. “Wait. Wait!”
