Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2576

“What brings you here today, Mr. Platinum? Would you like to talk in my room?” Declan asked respectfully.

“That won't be necessary. We should keep our connection a secret for now. I don't want anyone getting suspicious of us. Anyway, I came here to ask for your help with something.”

Declan flashed him a mysterious smile as he asked, “Let me guess... This is about Phoenix, isn't it?”

Platinum nodded. “Yeah... She's being way too cold toward me. I don't know what I should do about that. You're her most trusted subordinate, so I need you to help put in a good word for me.”

“No problem. You need to be more patient with women. As long as you keep at it, I'm sure she'll be touched by your efforts eventually,” Declan reassured him.

Platinum let out a chuckle. “I'll be counting on you, Mr. Cook. Oh, by the way, I'll be attacking Zeke's men tonight. I plan to present his severed head to Phoenix as a gift. Hopefully, that'll help change the way she feels about me.”

“Phoenix has a burning hatred for Zeke right now. I'm sure she'll be touched if you bring her his severed head!” Declan said.

“I hope so. All right, I'll get going now. I need to head back and begin my preparations,” Platinum replied.

“Goodbye, Mr. Platinum!”

Declan then waited for Platinum to leave before rushing over to Phoenix's room.

“Ms. Phoenix! Mr. Platinum came to see me just now!”

“Oh? Did he tell you his plan?” Phoenix asked.

Declan nodded. “Yeah, he did. He's planning on attacking Zeke tonight.”

“Heh... The sooner he attacks, the better. Tell everyone to get ready for combat. Also, tell Scar Face to inform Zeke about this,” Phoenix ordered.

“Understood!”

“Declan, you've contributed a lot throughout your many years of service. Since you're an incredibly valuable member of Phoenixion, I'll give you a chance to prove your loyalty to me.”

Declan had never been to hear that. “Thank you very much, Ms. Phoenix! Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll be sure to get it done!”

“I want you to kill ten enemies in battle tonight. You will be spared if you manage to do so. If you fail to do so, you will be executed for your betrayal. If you end up dying in battle, I will label you as a hero and treat your family accordingly,” Phoenix said.

“Consider it done!” Declan promised.

Although things appeared calm at Platinumion, Phoenixion, and Zeke's faction, they were all secretly preparing for the upcoming battle.

Upon returning to his base, Platinum ordered his men to get ready to launch an assault later that night.

Tonight, I shall claim Zeke's head for sure!

Zeke's men, too, were busy working on their defenses.

As for those at Phoenixion, they were all getting their weapons ready, so they could lend Zeke and his faction a helping hand.

It wasn't long before the skies turned dark that night.

A chilly breeze was blowing through the base of Zeke's faction.

Everyone in the base was fast asleep, or at least that was the illusion they were trying to create.

In reality, they were all wide awake and ready for battle at any time.

With a large-scale assault incoming, they couldn't possibly fall asleep anyway.

Sure enough, they soon heard rustling noises coming from outside the base.

In just a matter of minutes, twenty groups of men had gathered outside the base of Zeke's faction.

As each group consisted of ten people, there was a total of two hundred people surrounding Zeke's base at the time.

Those men were none other than members of Platinumion, and Platinum was the one leading them all.

A sinister grin formed on his face as he looked at Zeke's base and saw no security guards.

Ha! This place doesn't even have the most basic level of security! In this case, he has only himself to blame when I take his head!

Platinum was about to order his men to attack when a loud alarm rang out in the base. A few seconds later, people were yelling angrily, “Come quick! We have intruders!”
