Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2636

Gritting his teeth, Erebus cursed, “You have some guts to say that to my face, motherf*cker! I wouldn't have doubted you if you hadn't tricked me once before!”

Zeke smirked maliciously. “We meet again, Erebus.”

“So, is this the Great Marshal's style? Ambushing someone instead of facing them head-on because you're afraid of losing? What a joke! If you still think you're the Great Marshal, the representation of Eurasia's reputation, you will release me and battle me head-on.”

Shaking his head, Zeke responded, “Your provocation is useless against me. I don't need to care about principles or honorable battles when dealing with a heartless monster like you. I only need to capture you. Besides, didn't you scheme against me and sent Northern Faction to besiege me? You don't have the right to spout nonsense like that in front of me.”

Erebus sneered, “Hmph! If you want to kill me, then do it! Stop wasting my time.”

“I have a few questions I would like you to answer. If your answer is satisfactory, I'll grant you a painless death. If not, a horrible end awaits you.”

“Keep on dreaming! I won't tell you a thing!”

Despite Erebus' response, Zeke continued questioning, “Why did you and the Guardian of Mount Kush come to Theos Island? What are you trying to do by collecting Spirit Stones and sending them to the Guardian? Do you know where my wife Lacey is held?”

Stubbornly, Erebus remained tight-lipped.

Enraged, Zeke exclaimed, “Fine! Since you don't want to talk, we'll kill you now!”

Upon ending his sentence, Zeke and the other three increased the strength of their energy.

Boom!

As a result, the crater was deepened by a whole meter. Erebus' bones started to crack loudly. Even his eyeballs were on the verge of popping out of his skull.

He couldn't help but shriek in agony.

Zeke sneered, “This isn't enough. Let's—”

“Wait!” Erebus suddenly waved his hand. “I-I have a condition, Zeke! F-Fulfill it, and I-I'll tell you!”

“Spit it out.”

“L-Let me go. I-I have something to s-show you!”

“Are you playing me for a fool? What if you escape after I let you go?”

“I won't! If you don't release me, I-I can't show that thing to you!”

Despite Erebus' response, Zeke continued questioning, “Why did you and the Guardian of Mount Kush come to Theos Island? What are you trying to do by collecting Spirit Stones and sending them to the Guardian? Do you know where my wife Lacey is held?”

“Hah. Since you can't show it to me, I'll just have to kill you first and take it.”

“N-No! You can't kill me! The thing I want to show you is related to your wife! Only I know where she is! Even if you obtain the item that I want to show you, you won't know where she is if you kill me!”

What? Zeke's expression shifted slightly. “You know where Lacey is? Tell me now!”

“You must allow me to display the item to you first.”

Without delay, Zeke released another source of energy to examine Erebus' body.

When he did, he could tell there was a handkerchief with Lacey's aura hiding under his clothes.

There's a good chance he knows where Lacey is! As he thought, he reduced the amount of energy he was administering to Erebus, but only enough for the latter to produce and present the object to him.

There was still no way for Erebus to escape.

Tremblingly, Erebus unveiled the handkerchief to Zeke. “Look at this. Do you recognize this?”

Zeke was moved when he saw that. That handkerchief looks like the one Lacey always carried with her!
