Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2529

Johan burst out laughing. “Young man, are you making fun of me? There's no way to cure cancer. Besides, I have late-stage lung cancer, so it is almost impossible for me to live for another one or two years, perhaps not even a few more months.”

Zeke remained silent and merely took out his Ammo Needle. Then, he said to Johan, “Lie down.”

Johan was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Lie down. I'm going to treat your illness now.”

Johan was rendered speechless. “That's enough, young man. Cygnus Room is the most advanced medical facility in Eurasia. I picked up some medical skills when I stayed in Cygnus Room in the past under the influence of the healthcare-oriented environment there. I've already diagnosed my condition as late-stage lung cancer, and there is nothing you can do to save me. Your futile attempt will only worsen my disease.”

Sensing Johan's reluctance to cooperate, Zeke straightaway pushed him down and poked him with the silver needles.

“What are you doing?” Johan roared furiously.

Still, Zeke's movements were too quick as he was done applying all the needles on Johan in the blink of an eye.

By the time Johan wanted to get up and put up a resistance, Zeke had already completed the treatment session using his Ammo Needle.

Johan widened his eyes and stared intently at Zeke. “W-What have you done to me? W-Were you trying to harm me? It seems that I've misjudged you.”

Zeke smiled. “How do you feel now?”

“I—”

Before Johan could finish the rest of his sentence, he felt a burning and tightening sensation in his chest as if a ball of gas was churning and ricocheting within him.

The next second, he opened his mouth and spat out mouthfuls of contaminated blood uncontrollably, expelling the negative energy in his chest cavity, too, in the process.

Subsequently, Johan felt his breathing improved significantly, and his terrible lung cancer symptoms had also reduced.

“T-This...”

Johan was too excited to utter any words. Is there really a cure for my condition? So, this young man was saving me instead of hurting me?

He took in deep breaths of fresh air and realized that not only was he feeling better physically, but he also felt more relieved emotionally.

Nevertheless, his facial expression swiftly turned somber again following the fleeting moment of joy.

Johan was very confident that he suffered from late-stage lung cancer. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any cure for that condition. However, this young man was able to nurse me back to health using a few silver needles. How did he treat me using those silver needles, and why is this therapy so effective?

To the best of Johan's knowledge, the only acupuncture technique that could achieve such tremendous results was Ammo Needle, the acupuncture technique invented by the Great Marshal. What is this young man's relationship with the Great Marshal?

Johan bored his eyes into Zeke. “T-Tell me the truth. Did you use Ammo Needle on me just now? Tell me about your relationship with the Great Marshal. From what I know, aside from the Great Marshal, only a few of his trusted aids practice Ammo Needle, and even their knowledge on this subject is superficial.”

Zeke took out a piece of jade from his pocket.

It was none other than the jade seal.

When Johan saw the jade seal, tears streamed down his face instantaneously, and he fell to his knees before Zeke with a thud.

His voice shook due to the waves of emotions overwhelming him at that moment. “The jade seal! The Great Marshal's jade seal. You're the Great Marshal! It's an honor to meet you, Great Marshal!”

Zeke knitted his brows. He immediately released a stream of energy to form a small barrier around the Chieftain's manor to prevent others from hearing Johan addressing him as the Great Marshal.

If Zeke's identity were exposed, his effort thus far would be in vain, and that setback would affect his master plan.

He said, “Get up.”

However, Johan did not get up. Instead, he uttered emotionally, “Great Marshal, I've been trapped on Theos Island for decades. I've been thinking of my home and comrades in the North all these years. I even dreamed about reuniting with my comrades in my sleep, but little did I anticipate the Great Marshal's advent... Haha! I can die without regret now!”
