Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2670

Speedy's head rolled on the ground. He glared at Northern King fixedly with his bloodshot eyes.

Speedy did not expect Northern King, whom he had exchanged pleasantries with just a while ago, would kill him. How dare he do this to me? He knew I was Southern King's son...

A few seconds later, Speedy lost consciousness and breathed his last.

Everyone in the hall was stunned by the sudden turn of events. While some began chattering among themselves, some got panicked and started running.

Northern King roared, “Quiet! Keep quiet!”

The crowd instantly zipped their mouth and calmed down.

A man asked carefully, “Northern Master, w-why did you kill Speedy?”

“Shut up!” Northern King raised his voice. “Did you see me do that? Watch your mouth, or I'll cut your tongue!”

The man freaked out and immediately prostrated before Northern King. “Please forgive me for uttering nonsense, Northern Master!”

Northern King looked at Johnny and said, “Johnny, tell everyone what happened just now. I don't want them to spread false information.”

Johnny cleared his throat and said, “Sure.

“Today, Northern Master sent me to collect Spirit Stone from Northern Faction's Centuria, but there was no one at their base when I arrived. I had a feeling that Southern Faction's Centuria had exterminated them. That was why I decided to look for Dragon King and see what he had to say about it. But I was surprised to learn that Centuria had a new leader. That man was not only cruel but also arrogant. More importantly, he betrayed Legion. When I reached Southern Faction, the new leader had already tortured Speedy to death. Since Speedy and I were acquaintances, I decided to bring his body back. After this, I'll take his body to Southern King.”

Everyone in the hall immediately understood that Johnny had come up with the story to sow discord between Southern Faction's Centuria and Legion.

Thus, they all started dancing to his tune.

One of them snorted and said, “Centuria has gone overboard. How dare they torture Speedy to death? Did they not know that he was Southern King's illegitimate son?”

Northern King let out a sigh. “I bet Southern King will avenge his son. I will be disappointed if he doesn't do so. Johnny, send his body home. Remember to tell Southern King the truth.”

Johnny smirked and responded, “I will, don't worry.”

He picked up Speedy's head, stuffed it into a bag, and headed to Southern King's base.

Southern King's base was much more luxurious and spacious than Northern King's.

About fifty guards were stationed around the high walls of the base. It was so heavily guarded that no one could enter the premises without permission.

One of the guards noticed Johnny when he was still about a thousand meters away.

He shouted at Johnny from a distance. “Who are you? What's your name? Stop walking, and stop moving, or we'll shoot!”

Johnny immediately raised his hands and replied, “Johnny Rowaz, a rent collector from Northern Faction. I'm here to see Southern Master!”

The guards were surprised to see him there. Johnny Rowaz?

Out of curiosity, the leader of the guards asked, “What are you doing here, Johnny? Aren't you supposed to be feeding Northern King's horses?”

Before this, Johnny worked as an ostler in Northern Faction.

Johnny immediately explained, “Northern Master sent me. He wanted me to hand over something to Southern Master, so please allow me to enter the base.”

“Hold on!” The leader led a few guards and ran toward Johnny.

They surrounded Johnny as they did not dare to lower their guard. The leader then ordered his subordinates to inspect him thoroughly to make sure he was not a threat.
