Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2665

Zeke was not done with Speedy yet, so he glanced at the list again. “He slapped you thrice, right? Give him fifteen slaps.”

Then, he turned to Speedy. “You'd better not try anything silly again because I'll cut off the limbs you move. If you move your head, I'll behead you.”

Speedy was dumbfounded when he heard that.

When the next guard hit him in the face, he dared not defend himself but simply cried in pain. I'll lose another part of my body if I retaliate. This is outrageous and sickening!

At that point, Speedy could not find the right word to describe Zeke.

Zeke then swept his gaze across the guards and inquired, “Did Speedy also bully you? If so, now is the time to get even.”

“That b*stard tore my shirt,” uttered Phoenix.

“Okay. After we're done beating him, we'll strip him naked and throw him out,” promised Zeke.

“Understood!”

“Those who have no score to settle with Speedy, you may return to your work. Don't let him affect our order here.”

After the crowd dispersed to return to work, Phoenix approached Zeke and inquired concernedly, “Zeke, aren't you afraid that Legion would want payback for the cruelty you're showing Speedy?”

“You know that my goal is to become Theos, which makes Legion and the Camp Masters my prey. They'll save me the trip by coming to me,” answered Zeke with a smile.

Phoenix shook her head while chuckling bitterly. Zeke is truly hopeless. What makes him think a mere mortal like him can be Theos? He'd have to be a deity to achieve such a feat. Wait a second! He did show that he was supernatural on more than one occasion. Could he really be... a deity? If that's the case, he probably can replace Theos.

Phoenix was taken aback by the thought but quickly shook her head to return to her senses. “What am I thinking? Zeke is just an ordinary man who eats and sleeps just like the rest of us. How could he be a deity?”

The truth was that Phoenix refused to believe Zeke was a deity mainly because she knew she could not be with him if that were true.

When the guards were finally done slapping Speedy, his face became as swollen as a frog in the autumn.

With saliva hanging from the corner of Speedy's mouth, Zeke was right to call the man Spitty.

After the smacking, the guards personally stripped Speedy of his clothes and threw him out of Southern Faction base.

Speedy was utterly humiliated and hopeless then, but whatever was left of his sanity urged him to leave the place as quickly as possible, lest he would lose his life too.

Staggering away, Speedy would have blacked out and died if it were not for his will to survive.

Meanwhile, Johnny of Northern Faction was heading in Southern Faction's direction. I have to find out if Southern Faction has really seized Northern Faction. If so, they're provoking Legatus of Northern Faction to an all-out war!

Johnny was nothing if not anxious on his journey. Those from Southern Faction wouldn't dare kill me, right? After all, I'm representing Legion of Northern Faction! Centuria would never in a million years dare to go against Legion. However, nobody can really say for sure. Southern Faction had no problem wiping out Golden Cicada's Centuria, so they might just try anything. I have no choice but to find out the truth myself. Northern King has assigned me such an important task, and I'll lose his trust if I don't get to the bottom of it. In fact, he might even kill me!

Refusing to waste the opportunity to prove himself, the man hesitantly entered the buffer zone between Southern Faction and Northern Faction, which had already become useless since Northern Faction was wiped out.
