Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2540

“Understood!” Black Bear answered.

“Kill the newcomer and drain him of his blood!” Calix commanded.

“Got it!”

Johan was irate when he heard their conversation and clenched his jaw.

What a bunch of fools! How dare they insult Eurasia's Great Marshal? They're just asking for trouble!

Johan wished he could fight them and obliterate them for Zeke, but the latter gave the former a look that signaled him not to do anything rash.

Hence, Johan had no choice but to sigh and give up on the idea.

I simply can't understand why the Great Marshal wants to take on a mere Centurion personally. After all, I think I can kill the other party even with my eyes shut. Oh well. The Great Marshal's thoughts and plans aren't something I can fathom.

Soon, Calix approached with his Centuria, accompanied by their noisy clamoring.

The Centuria's presence was a hundred times more intimidating than that of the team led by Zeke, which seemed to give off an impression of a motley crew versus a troop of seasoned soldiers.

As soon as the Centuria arrived, Zeke's motley crew felt a pressure weigh on them. Some dared not even meet the Centuria's eyes, and that caused the latter to become even more arrogant.

Calix swept his gaze over the crowd, then asked Johan, “Tell me, you old geezer. Who wants to challenge me to a fight?”

Johan glanced toward Zeke and replied, “It's Mr. Williams.”

Calix looked Zeke up and down with a taunting gaze. Chuckling, he remarked, “Why, your skin looks as smooth as a baby's bottom. I'm sure your blood must taste like nectar. If you give me half of your blood and submit to me now, I'll spare your life!”

When Zeke opened his mouth to respond, what he said left everyone utterly astonished.

“You've no right to stand there and talk to me.”

W-What? This new Decanus actually dares humiliate a Centurion and declare that the latter has no right to talk to him! How impudent! How... domineering!

Calix was so infuriated that he nearly exploded with rage on the spot. He had never suffered such humiliation since becoming a Centurion.

“You're dead meat! You're going to die today—”

Mid-sentence, he suddenly let out an agonized scream, then sank to his knees.

There were no two ways about it. Calix's knees bent, and he was now kneeling in front of Zeke!

There was an uproar as everything descended into chaos. The voices of people debating what just happened, shrieks, and murmurs filled the air.

“What the heck? Something must be wrong with my eyes. I'm definitely seeing things,” someone insisted.

“Mr. Calix is kneeling to another? What the f*ck! What on earth is going on? We're definitely hallucinating!”

“Tell me. Hurry up and tell me this is an illusion! Why is he kneeling in front of that guy?”

“Is he already admitting defeat before even fighting? That's not the Mr. Calix I know.”

“Get up, Mr. Calix!”

Meanwhile, Calix was also utterly bewildered.

He had felt his knees suddenly go numb just now. Then, in the blink of an eye, the strength left his legs, and he could not help but fall into a kneeling position.

However, he did not have the faintest idea why that had happened.

Was it something that guy did? But that's ridiculous! There's no way he's capable of doing that from such a distance. It must be a coincidence. That's what it is. It was my rheumatism acting up again.

In truth, it was all Zeke's doing.

He had used his energy to manifest Ammo Needle and aimed it straight at Calix's knees.

As for why nobody realized what he had done, that was because his energy had moved at supersonic speed. Hence, there was no way anyone would have noticed it.

The ten Decani glanced at Zeke with puzzled expressions, then looks of shock appeared in their eyes.

Although none of them saw the silver needle, their gut instincts told them Calix falling to his knees was no doubt Zeke's handiwork.

What exactly is the extent of his capabilities?

Calix did not hurry to get to his feet after kneeling. Instead, he proceeded to sit on the ground. “Why the hell are all of you looking at me like that?”

Black Bear asked cautiously, “Did you just... kneel to your opponent?”

Slap!

Calix struck Black Bear across the cheek without hesitation. “F*ck you! When did you see me do such a thing? That's just the pose I do before meditating. I'm preparing to receive his worship and adoration. Only an idiot would think I'm bowing the knee to my opponent.”
