Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2524

Right as all hope was about to leave him, a cold voice traveled into his ears. “Yannick, Yoshua, stop!”

It was Zeke.

Zeke had long arrived, but he had chosen to hide at the side and not reveal himself as the Lewis brothers tormented Hawkeye.

Only when the brothers' anger was partially alleviated did he step out to stop them.

Hawkeye could not die yet, for he was still useful alive.

The moment Zeke appeared, Yannick and Yoshua stopped.

Hawkeye begged, “Mr. Williams, please... please give me a quick death.”

The Lewis brothers turned to Zeke and asked, “Mr. Williams, why have you come?”

Zeke ignored their question and asked, “Feel better now?”

The brothers shared a look. “Not completely.”

Zeke nodded. “Okay. Leave first. I have something to tell Hawkeye.”

The brothers certainly would not disobey Zeke's order, so they turned and left.

Hawkeye was still pleading, “Mr. Williams, please make it quick for me.”

“Hawkeye, do you wish to live or die?”

Huh?

Hawkeye snapped his eyes open as they lit up. “Mr. Williams, w-what do you mean?”

Zeke repeated, “Do you wish to live or die?”

Hawkeye's voice trembled from the thrill he felt. “Mr. Williams, are you... telling me that I have a chance to live?”

“Frankly, I have a billion chances to end your life, but I didn't do that. Do you know why?”

Hawkeye asked curiously, “Why?”

“It's because you're still useful to me alive.”

“Mr. Williams, as long as you spare my life, I'll do anything for you,” Hawkeye quickly said.

“Let me ask you a question. Is it true that only certain people can enter and leave Theos Island freely?”

“Mr. Williams, only envoys like me have the right to enter and leave the island, and there are less than ten envoys like me on Theos Island. What we actually have isn't the freedom to enter and leave the island. We only have three chances to leave Theos Island every year, and we're only allowed to stay outside for three days maximum. There are communication stations in the outside world established by Theos Island, and we're allowed to seek help from those stations while working outside of the island. For example, the graduation certificates that I falsified for Yannick and Yoshua were done with the help of those stations.”

A communication station?

“I want you to leave the island now and recruit a few disciples here. That shouldn't be a problem for you, right?” Zeke asked.

Hawkeye answered, “I have one last chance to leave the island this year, so bringing in a few disciples here won't be an issue.”

Zeke inclined his head. “Good. I'll have to trouble you to bring a few people to Theos Island, then.”

With that, Zeke gave information about Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, and the others to Hawkeye.

After memorizing the details, Hawkeye burned the note right away.

“Mr. Williams, if it's possible, I hope these people can meet me at the communication station. That way, I'll be able to bring them back right after I leave. Otherwise, we'll be wasting more time.”

“Sure. Tell me the address of the communication station.”

Hawkeye promptly gave him the address.

Before Hawkeye left, Zeke warned, “Hawkeye, I hope you'll be smart enough not to pull any tricks with me, or else I'll make sure you die a horrendous death.”

Hawkeye swore, “Don't worry, Mr. Williams. I'll definitely heed your words and never betray you.”

“Go. Best to come back within five days' time. Come to me for the antidote after the fifth day.”

Hawkeye was confused. “Antidote? What antidote?”

“I've infected you with a cursed parasitic worm, and it will only affect you five days later. If you don't get the antidote five days later, you'll explode and die. It'll look terrible. If you don't believe me, you can press the spot a little lower between your thumb and your index finger. The back of your head will feel as if it's expanding, and that's a sign of a cursed parasitic worm in you.”

Hawkeye's heart lurched.

F*ck, I was planning to flee once I'm out. Only an idiot will listen to him.
