Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2647

“I only need two days, so that won't be an issue!” Tyler declared confidently.

Alfred spat out a mouthful of blood. “F*ck! I'll only have a sixty-percent chance of advancing in three days. No, this won't do. I need to get out there and kill some more! Where are those animals?”

Zeke went all the way to the Spirit Stone's storage location in the Southern Faction.

Draco and his men were busy refining spiritual iron at the time.

As there were only dozens of people who were knowledgeable regarding spiritual iron, their progress was extremely slow.

Phoenix was among the people in charge of refining spiritual iron.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Zeke show up. She felt her heart thumping wildly in her chest as a warm sensation filled her body and removed whatever feelings of exhaustion she had.

Is this what it feels like to be in love? As much as I hate to admit it, I know I have fallen in love with Zeke. It's a shame he won't even notice me...

Feeling jealous, Phoenix cursed at Zeke inside her heart and tightened her grip on her tools.

The two guys working next to her didn't know how to react when they saw her response.

Judging by the way she looks at Zeke, it's obvious that she has fallen head over heels for him! She's our perfect goddess, and yet, she's obsessed with a man who won't even look at her... This is so painful to watch!

As Zeke made his way over to inspect the spiritual iron, Draco said with a smile, “Have a look at the spiritual iron we've refined, Mr. Williams! What do you think?”

Zeke shook his head. “No, this won't do. The purity level is way too low. You need to refine it further.”

What?

Draco was shocked by Zeke's response. “You're messing with me, right, Mr. Williams? I bet even Legatus wouldn't be able to refine it to this level of purity!”

“No, I'm serious. You need to increase the purity level even further. Draco, have the boys work a little harder to refine this spiritual iron again,” Zeke said.

It was at that moment that Draco knew Zeke was not joking at all. He was dead serious.

“All right, then. We'll keep refining it until you are satisfied with the results, Mr. Williams.”

Zeke then turned toward Sole Wolf and ordered, “Sole Wolf, Ares, Nameless, I'll need you three to stay and help refine the spiritual iron.”

“No problem!” Sole Wolf and the other two replied in unison.

Zeke told the rest of them, “Please give it your best shot, boys. Rest assured that I will reward all of you well after this!”

As Zeke made his way over to inspect the spiritual iron, Draco said with a smile, “Have a look at the spiritual iron we've refined, Mr. Williams! What do you think?”

Phoenix got even angrier when she heard that.

Aaargh! Zeke, you heartless b*stard! You only care about your boys! What about me, huh? I'm about to collapse from exhaustion here! Hmph... Just you wait, Zeke! One day, I'll get you back for this!

Phoenix was halfway through cursing at Zeke when she saw someone's face right next to hers.

“Eek! Who's there?” she screamed at the top of her voice and jumped three feet into the air.

Why is she freaking out like this?

“Goodness, you scared me!” Zeke exclaimed with a nonchalant look on his face.

That was when Phoenix realized it was Zeke standing next to her.

“What are you doing, Zeke? Why are you standing so close to me?” she asked.

“I heard someone cursing at me, so I was wondering if it was you,” Zeke replied.

“N-No, it wasn't me!” Phoenix stammered nervously.

Apparently, she was muttering under her breath earlier, and Zeke's hearing was so sharp that he had heard it from all the way there.

“Are you sure it wasn't you?” Zeke asked.

“Of course it wasn't me! Why would I be cursing at you?” Phoenix replied.

Zeke nodded. “That's good to hear.”

He then reached out and grabbed Phoenix by the hand.
