Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2505

Seven drops of spiritual water? That's the joke of the century! Six drops of spiritual water have already broken the record on Theos Island. Seven is a pipe dream. Megahead must be mistaken!

“Buzz off! If I can even get this wrong, it'll be pointless for me to live anymore!” Megahead lambasted. “I've underestimated you, kid. All this food is yours. I'll put in a request for a small reward for you another day.”

With the man confirming that there were indeed seven drops of spiritual water, everyone was stumped.

The trio who had been gifted three drops of spiritual water by Zeke, especially, was all the more worked up.

If he hadn't gifted us three drops of spiritual water, he'd be turning in ten drops of spiritual water right now! That's ten drops of spiritual water. It really boggles the mind.

Daley was floored.

Minerva and the others have sufficient food, so they don't need to go hungry at all. In fact, they can even have a full meal. Only a fool would submit to me at such a time. In other words...

Resentful to the core, he glowered at Minerva. “What's the meaning of this, Minerva?”

“What are you referring to, Mr. Daley?” Minerva queried.

“You said you'd keep me company for a night. But what's this now?” Daley snarled.

“Dream on. I've got food and drink, so my days are as blissful as ever. Why would I put myself through the wringer?” Minerva sneered.

Daley gritted his teeth hard. “F*ck you! You've fired me up, so you've got to take responsibility for it.”

“It was deliberate on my part. So, how do you feel? Does it feel torturous? If so, that's great. I'm all the happier when you're in greater pain,” Minerva proclaimed.

D*mn it!

Daley flew off the handle. “I'm going to kill you!”

“Sure, come at me. If you dare do so, Mr. Williams will definitely pummel you to death!” Minerva crowed.

Argh!

In a rage with no outlet to vent, Daley could only return to the tree branch in a fit of pique.

The tree branch shook, making it evident that the man must be beating off to release his pent-up desires.

Satisfied with her prank, Minerva cackled without restraint.

Zeke opened the box containing food to find only buns in there.

“Are buns the only thing available here?” he questioned.

Chuckling, Megahead clarified, “Precisely speaking, the outermost district only has buns available. There is meat in Centuria's district. Why, you want some meat? That isn't impossible, but you need to trade for it with spiritual water. Five drops of spiritual water will get you a pound of meat. Are you interested? I've got a way of getting it.”

Zeke shook his head. “Never mind, then. We shall see some time later.”

Subsequently, he instructed, “Yannick, Yoshua, take the buns away.”

“Sure!”

Yannick and Yoshua quickly carried the box of food away.

When they had all gone back, Zeke asked Murphy and Minerva, “Have you both eaten meat before?”

Both Murphy and Minerva burst out laughing.

“It's already a miracle if we don't starve to death here. How could we possibly trade five drops of spiritual water for a pound of meat?”

Murphy chimed in, “But those few guys might have eaten meat before.”

He surreptitiously pointed at the few burly men lying in a corner sleeping.

“Oh? Have they harvested a lot of spiritual water?” Zeke wondered.

Murphy shook his head. “Of course not. I mean, they might have eaten human meat before.”

Human meat... It's no exaggeration to say that this place is hell.

As Hawkeye stared at the box of buns at Zeke's feet, a glimmer of malice and resentment flashed across his face.

Half of the food should have belonged to me. But now... he got it all.

Naturally, he wouldn't take it lying down.

Seizing a moment of inattention by Zeke and the others, he sneaked into Megahead's tree hollow.

Megahead was understandably chagrined. “Why did you trespass into my residence again, you b*stard?”

“Megahead, I've got something important to report to you. Your position as Decanus is at risk!” Hawkeye warned urgently.

“How so?” Megahead drawled.

“Guess what I just heard? Those few people were actually conspiring to overthrow you to take your position. This morning, they harvested six drops of spiritual water. Earlier, they harvested seven drops of spiritual water. In total, that's thirteen drops of spiritual water. By tomorrow, they can definitely round up twenty drops of spiritual water. Then, that kid will take your place. Megahead, I think you should make a preemptive move,” Hawkeye urged.
