Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2517

Minerva and the others were befuddled by Zeke's calm display. Does Master already have a plan to neutralize our opponents? We can only hope so. But what sort of plan can suppress over a hundred opponents?

Meanwhile, the Contubernia led by Megahead were losing their minds over the mouth-watering pot of meat in front of Zeke.

Never mind that Megahead had called it human meat. The aroma was far too enticing.

The men gritted their teeth and tried to resist the temptation.

Alas, if only their minds were that simple to control.

Their thoughts were occupied with the scrumptious pot of meat.

Megahead was only human, after all. He had not eaten meat in a long time and was salivating over the food like his men.

However, he had stronger willpower than the rest. He declared coldly, “Hey, Zeke. When I left, I swore I would come back to take your life. I'm back now. Are you going to chop your own head off, or shall I do it for you?”

Zeke glanced dismissively at him and said, “I choose to chop your head off!”

Outraged, Megahead roared, “Charge!”

Before Megahead's men could react, Zeke suddenly stood up and boomed, “Wait! Are you all content to follow these men and eat moldy buns for the rest of your life? Are you happy to spend the rest of your lives rotting in this God-forsaken place? Your children have never tasted meat in their lives. Can you die happy knowing that fact?”

He knew many of the men before him had children.

Everyone fell silent.

Zeke's words had echoed their sentiments.

He added, “Come. Follow me, and this pot of meat belongs to all of you.”

A furious Megahead replied, “Shut up, Zeke. You can't even feed yourself. I can't believe you're cooking your Contubernium member now. Anyone stupid enough to follow you will end up in a pot themselves. Let me guess which unfortunate victim you're cooking.”

Megahead swept his gaze across the place and was surprised to notice that everyone was present.

Minerva scolded him fiercely, “Megahead, you're slandering Master. He's cooking wild boar meat.”

Megahead burst into laughter and said, “Wild boar meat? Who'd believe that? There must be at least twenty pounds of meat in that pot. Where did he get such a huge amount of meat from?”

“He exchanged spiritual water for it, of course,” replied Minerva.

Now, the rest of Megahead's party erupted into laughter.

“You probably need a hundred drops of spiritual water to exchange this much meat.”

“You wouldn't have that much spiritual water even if you combined the ten Decani's stash over the past few years.”

“He's a newcomer. Who would believe his claims of collecting a hundred drops of spiritual water?”

Zeke did not bother to refute their scathing accusations. Instead, he flipped the pot over, sending pieces of meat across the ground.

Everyone stared at the spilled meat in shock.

That's a boar's head. That's the knuckles. Even the hind legs are there.

The meat on the ground was clearly wild boar meat. It was impossible to disguise human meat in such a form.

He's telling the truth!

But... how did he find so much wild boar meat?

Everyone present had never seen so much meat in their lifetime. Their frenzied response was thus understandable.

Even the Decani were hypnotized by the sight of meat. Their stomachs grumbled loudly in protest.

Suddenly, an impulsive thought crossed their minds. Is it truly that bad to surrender to Zeke if it means we can have a taste of that delicious meat?

Zeke continued building his case and coaxed, “As long as you follow me, you'll have more than just this meat. I guarantee you'll taste meat once a week from now on. And, if nothing out of the blue happens, I'll be able to lead all of you into Centuria's district. That district offers a standard of living at least a hundred times better than this place. This is the chance to change your fate. Will you step forward and grab the opportunity?”
