Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2579

Platinum smiled bitterly. “All right. I admit my lapse in judgment led to my loss, but that doesn't mean I can't flee! Just wait, Phoenix! I'll take you down sooner or later, no matter the cost!”

With that said, Platinum turned around to flee. Noticing his intention, Phoenix shouted, “Zeke, stop him! We'll be in trouble if he defects to another Centurion and urges them to gang up on us.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Apollyon rushed forward to stop Platinum.

However, Zeke simply continued to sit quietly at the side, unmoving.

Rage nearly consumed Phoenix at Zeke's defiance. F*ck me! How can he still be so calm at a f*cking time like this? What a poser!

Ignoring Zeke, Phoenix urgently dashed toward Platinum, hoping to stop him.

However, Platinum didn't give Phoenix and Apollyon a chance to attack simultaneously. When Phoenix was about to catch up to him, he pushed Apollyon back, freeing himself to square off with Phoenix.

Once Apollyon closed in again, Platinum would force Phoenix to back off and turn to face off against Apollyon.

As the battle continued in such fashion, both sides couldn't gain an advantage over the other.

Finally, Platinum found a sliver of opportunity to flee and escaped.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the fastest speed he could and fled from the battlefield.

F*ck!

Phoenix and Apollyon were frustrated that they'd let Platinum flee. “We can't let him escape and must catch up to him with all our might!”

They knew they wouldn't be able to get any shut-eye if a Half-King Class warrior was roaming about, intending to attack them.

Since the opportunity had presented itself, Phoenix and Apollyon knew they had to grasp it and capture Platinum once and for all.

Right when they were about to give chase, the unmoving Zeke suddenly said, “You two couldn't even deal with an Archduke. You truly are idiots and embarrassments to martial artists.”

Phoenix's blood boiled as her temper sparked.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Zeke. “What did you say?”

Her threatening tone and sharp glare didn't scare Zeke in the slightest. Instead, he calmly explained, “The two of you, both Archdukes, can't even defeat one man and let him escape. What are you if not an idiot?”

Argh! As the Centurion of Phoenixion, I lead hundreds of subordinates. Even in Centuria's district, I reign above all except for one. My position is only second to Centuria's district's and Legion's district's Chieftain. Yet he's calling me an idiot in front of everyone? How outrageous! I'll kill him, the shameless *sshole!

Rage consumed Phoenix at Zeke's snide remark.

In contrast, Apollyon lowered his head in shame. “I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. It's my fault. I'll make sure to train more and improve my abilities.”

Phoenix yelled, “Apollyon, why are you apologizing? That Platinum is way too strong and cunning. He inevitably escaped. No one can blame us for it. Aren't you powerful, Zeke? Why don't you pursue him yourself if you're that powerful?”

Zeke questioned, “What's in it for me if I catch him?”

Phoenix replied, “I'll call you Daddy in front of everyone if you do. How about that?”

Zeke coldly rejected, “Sorry, I don't have such an old daughter.”

With that, he casually walked toward the direction Platinum fled.

F*ck!

Phoenix stomped her foot heavily against the ground in anger. “Just you wait, Zeke! If you can't catch Platinum, I'll condemn you for three days and nights straight until you die from frustration! With your speed, you probably can't catch him even if the world has ended.”

Apollyon shot a pitying look at Phoenix. There's a high possibility that she'll have to call Mr. Williams “Daddy” later. Mr. Williams is a mysterious guy with unfathomable abilities. If he says he can catch Platinum, then it's likely he can. On second thought, it'll be interesting to watch such a strong and independent woman as Phoenix calling Mr. Williams “Daddy.”

Suddenly, anticipation filled Apollyon as he tried to stifle his chuckle.

Phoenix scolded, “What are you laughing at!”
