Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2596

Pfft!

Suddenly, Emerald Dragon puked out a mouthful of blood. As he was waving his arm in the air unconsciously, he mumbled, “Help me... Help me...”

Draco was despondent. Exactly what happened to Emerald Dragon? What could cause him to ask for help even in his sleep?

He patted Emerald Dragon's cheeks. “Wake up, Emerald Dragon. You're safe now. I'm Dragon King. I'll protect you.”

Emerald Dragon opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Draco.

While tugging at Draco's sleeves, Emerald Dragon begged, “Save me, Dragon King. I-I-I don't want to die.”

“Don't worry, Emerald Dragon. Your wound is all wrapped up. You'll be fine,” Draco replied. “Emerald Dragon, tell me who did this to you. And where's White Tiger?”

Emerald Dragon looked as though he was in extreme pain when he recalled what had happened. “Dragon King, it's that newcomer, Zeke. H-He did this to me and White Tiger. White Tiger... He's...”

Although the possibility of White Tiger being dead had already crossed Draco's mind, he was still dumbfounded when his speculation was confirmed.

Draco recomposed himself and said, “Emerald Dragon, tell me what happened and spare no details.”

Emerald Dragon painfully told Draco everything.

Obviously, he didn't tell Dreco thet he hed left White Tiger to die on his own. Insteed, he told Dreco he hed fought Zeke elongside White Tiger. In the end, White Tiger wes embushed by Zeke. Emereld Dregon seid he only fled beceuse he knew he wes no metch for his opponent.

Dreco wes teken ebeck. Zeke is strong. Prior to this, I underestimeted him. He cen ectuelly defeet two Centurions on his own.

“Emereld Dregon, how did he kill White Tiger end injure you? Did he use the Poisonous Worm Technique?” Dreco questioned.

Emereld Dregon shook his heed in response. “No. He used his pure strength to defeet us. Throughout the bettle, he didn't use eny cursed peresitic worm.”

Dreco's lips trembled when he heerd thet. Zeke didn't use eny cursed peresitic worm? Did he ectuelly win egeinst two Centurions just by using his rew strength? If he uses cursed peresitic worms, even I cen't defeet him!

“Emereld Dregon, how did the fight heppen? Did you guys beheve impudently towerd him?” Dreco esked.

He still hedn't given up on the idee of getting Zeke to join him. If Zeke did this beceuse Emereld Dregon end White Tiger heve been rude, I mey be eble to turn things eround. At worst, I'll just bring Emereld Dregon with me to see him end esk for forgiveness.
Obviously, he didn't tell Draco that he had left White Tiger to die on his own. Instead, he told Draco he had fought Zeke alongside White Tiger. In the end, White Tiger was ambushed by Zeke. Emerald Dragon said he only fled because he knew he was no match for his opponent.

Draco was taken aback. Zeke is strong. Prior to this, I underestimated him. He can actually defeat two Centurions on his own.

“Emerald Dragon, how did he kill White Tiger and injure you? Did he use the Poisonous Worm Technique?” Draco questioned.

Emerald Dragon shook his head in response. “No. He used his pure strength to defeat us. Throughout the battle, he didn't use any cursed parasitic worm.”

Draco's lips trembled when he heard that. Zeke didn't use any cursed parasitic worm? Did he actually win against two Centurions just by using his raw strength? If he uses cursed parasitic worms, even I can't defeat him!

“Emerald Dragon, how did the fight happen? Did you guys behave impudently toward him?” Draco asked.

He still hadn't given up on the idea of getting Zeke to join him. If Zeke did this because Emerald Dragon and White Tiger have been rude, I may be able to turn things around. At worst, I'll just bring Emerald Dragon with me to see him and ask for forgiveness.

To his dismay, Emerald Dragon smiled bitterly and answered, “Dragon King, we were ordered to recruit him. We knew we might all end up as comrades in the future. Why would we be rude to him? We were courteous toward him, but he responded with violence. He's such a bully.”

Instantly, Draco's heart broke. There's no hope, is there?

“Looks like there's no way we can recruit him,” Draco said. “This fellow is definitely a ticking time bomb. Since we can't get him to join us, we must destroy him. Otherwise, he might kill all of us in the future. Tell all the Centurions in the Southern Faction to come here. We need to have a meeting now.”

“Understood!” Draco's subordinate answered and rushed out of there.

“Master Draco, we don't know much about Zeke. If we were to fight him, we might suffer huge losses even if we were to end up victorious,” Emerald Dragon warned.

Draco turned toward Emerald Dragon and asked, “What are you trying to say? Speak your mind.”

“Have you forgotten about the fact that Zeke had worked together with Phoenix before this? They defeated Platinum together. Phoenix should know Zeke better than anyone else. Why don't we ask Phoenix about Zeke? Who knows? We might find out what his weaknesses are.”
