Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2617

Unfortunately, Phoenix was quickly put on the back foot due to her inherent physical disadvantage as a woman.

At the crucial moment, Zeke's voice rang out in Phoenix's head. The mission is over. Withdraw now!

Phoenix responded, Help! Save me! I'm in danger!

Hmm?

Zeke filled the room with his energy, getting a clearer view of the situation.

D*mn it!

He cursed under his breath before molding his energy into a hammer and smashing it down on Sebastian.

In the midst of a loud grunt, Sebastian was sent flying with blood spewing out of his mouth.

His chest collapsed onto itself, fracturing the majority of his ribs.

Upon crashing to the ground, Sebastian twitched slightly before finally losing consciousness.

“B*stard!” Unsatisfied, Phoenix vented her residual rage by stomping on his groin.

The vicious force she unleashed was enough to castrate him on the spot.

Thereafter, Zeke urged her, “Hurry up and meet us in the southeast direction.”

Without a moment's delay, Phoenix ran back out.

The moment she emerged from the door, the two guards stationed outside stopped her. “Halt! Who let you out?”

Phoenix remarked calmly, “Take them out.”

The guards were baffled as to who she was talking to, for there was no one else around but them.

However, Zeke knocked both of them out with his energy before they even realized what was going on.

Fortunately, not a soul was in sight to raise the alarm.

Soon, Phoenix escaped from Sebastian's territory and was reunited with Zeke and the others.

Staring at Zeke with a faint smile, Phoenix teased, “Zeke, be honest with me. Were you jealous just now? Otherwise, why did you strike Sebastian with such a heavy blow?”

Zeke gave her the side-eye. “Enough with your one-sided fantasies.”

“What the—” Phoenix clenched both her fists. “Hmph, go on pretending then. Let's see how long you can keep that act up. Anyway, how's the haul? Did you manage to find any Spirit Stones?”

Sole Wolf and the others didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Acting? Zeke isn't interested in you at all! Lacey is the most beautiful girl in the world. Once you see her for yourself, you'll understand why Zeke will never fall for anyone else. Besides, even though you're a looker, we aren't even sure you're a woman with that macho swagger of yours.

Subsequently, Zeke proceeded to show her Spirit Stones they had gathered. “This consists of their entire reserve.”

Phoenix was blown away by the sight. “Oh my god! That's a lot. My Centuria would need two seasons to gather that much. The Northern Faction is really rich! Now that we have secured a bountiful haul, it's time for us to go.”

Zeke shook his head. “No, we still don't have enough Spirit Stones yet. We need to gather more.”

Phoenix was puzzled. “Even this many isn't enough? How many do you really need?”

“At least a thousand of them.”

“A thousand!” Phoenix gasped. “Why do you need so many?”

“To forge a divine weapon.”

Zeke's answer shocked Phoenix further. “Forging a divine weapon? Do you even know the technique to do that?”

“Do you think I have the time to pull your leg? Enough idle chatter. Take us to gather more Spirit Stones.”

After pondering a moment, Phoenix inquired, “Can you tell me where do you come from? And what's your objective here on Theos Island?”

Zeke sidestepped the question as he replied, “We're heading to the commander of Northern Faction Centuria's base to gather more Spirit Stones. I learned that they have the most Spirit Stones out of everyone within the Northern Faction. Therefore, take us there right away.”

“Fine.”

Phoenix didn't probe further on Zeke's background.

She didn't mind who they were as long they posed no threat to her.

Along the way, she warned them, “The commander of Northern Faction Centurions is called Golden Cicada, and he's significantly more powerful than Draco. Rumor has it that Golden Cicada has achieved the power of a Legatus and is preparing to challenge one. Hence, are you guys confident about taking him on? If not, let's just forget it.”
