Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2552

Although Scar Face was smiling, he was cursing inwardly.

Are you insane? Why would I avenge a dead person? Stop dreaming. Why would I do that when I can just pledge my allegiance to another?

Of course, he did not utter his thoughts out.

He pretended to think about it before sighing. “Even though I feel awful for Mr. Calix, what you said makes perfect sense. We shouldn't keep living for the dead. That's not loyalty. That's being reckless. I believe that's not what Mr. Calix wants for us, either. Also, if we go through with it, it might get our comrades in Phoenixion involved. That would be unfair to them. I'll do as you say.”

Phoenix nodded in satisfaction. “Okay. I'm glad you understand my intentions. All right. I'll accept all your men. We can discuss how to get them to settle down here.”

Scar Face said gratefully, “Thank you, Ms. Phoenix. We're in debt to you, so we're willing to do anything you ask for without hesitation.”

With that, he turned and left.

Phoenix called for her four guards.

These four guards were her trusted aides and usually executed her extremely confidential tasks.

The leader of the guards was Declan Cook.

The four guards noticed Phoenix's worried expression and realized she must have encountered a bothersome matter.

Declan broke the silence first. “Ms. Phoenix, please feel free to share your worries with us.”

Phoenix replied, “It's not a worry. It's just that I feel slightly uneasy.”

Oh?

Declan asked curiously, “Ms. Phoenix, why do you feel uneasy?”

Phoenix sighed. “I don't think the newcomer is a simple character. I feel he might become a threat.”

Declan replied, “Isn't that easy? We can just kill him.”

The other three guards agreed with him and nodded in unison.

Phoenix laughed in resignation.

Her four guards were talented in everything, except they were not very intelligent. They always preferred using brute force to solve problems.

This meant that they would never be suited to become a leader. They could only be subordinates.

Phoenix stated, “Don't be reckless. Although I feel uneasy about the newcomer, my sixth sense is telling me he's not our enemy.”

The four guards were confused.

Didn't she say she felt uneasy about the newcomer? Then, why isn't the newcomer our enemy? This sounds ridiculous!

Phoenix continued, “I have a mission for you guys.”

As soon as the four guards heard that, their expressions immediately became solemn. “Ms. Phoenix, please give the order!”

Phoenix stated, “Investigate the newcomer. Check his background. Also, they will come into Centuria's district soon. When that happens, you guys will act as my representative and send my greetings to him.”

Declan was slightly displeased upon hearing that and said, “Ms. Phoenix, isn't this ruining our reputation? They are the newcomers and should be the ones sending their greetings. However, it's the opposite now. You're the one sending your greetings first...”

Phoenix answered, “Just follow my instructions. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing!”

Hearing that, Declan did not have anything else to say. He nodded his head stiffly. “Okay!”

Three days passed quickly.

Zeke's Contubernium was ready to enter Centuria's district at any moment.

Apollyon's injuries had almost recovered.

The self-healing ability of an Archduke warrior, especially one who was already a Half-King Class warrior, was still very fast, almost a hundred times more than an average person.

Apollyon could already walk normally.

Once he could walk, he immediately brought Floretta to Zeke.

“Mr. Williams, I have almost fully recovered. When are we entering Centuria's district?”
