Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2683

Earlier, his attention had all been focused on Johnny as he debated whether he should continue trusting the latter. While Southern King was deeply absorbed in his thoughts, a whistling sound rang out.

He almost failed to seize that silver needle. If this silver needle had penetrated my temple, I would have been gravely injured, if not dead.

Then, a searing sensation spread on his palm. He hastily spread his hand and glanced at it. Southern King noticed the part of his skin in contact with the silver needle had turned black as if he had been burned by acid. This silver needle is poisonous! If it had pierced my temple, I wouldn't have merely suffered a critical injury. I would've lost my life immediately!

He quickly tossed the silver needle away and gazed at Golden Cicada and Draco with bloodshot eyes. These despicable, shameless, and arrogant b*stards! They were clearly trying to distract me with their explanation so that the guards upstairs could assassinate me with concealed weapons. What a brilliant scheme. I was almost tricked.

At that instant, Southern King no longer doubted the reason behind Speedy's death. I'm sure The Southern Faction Centurias murdered Speedy. They would even kill me, Southern King, without hesitation just because our discussion wasn't going well, let alone a mere rent collector like Speedy. Ha!

He sneered while staring at Golden Cicada and Draco. “Aren't you planning to explain to me about this silver needle? I suppose nothing else scares you since you even dared to kill me, the Southern King.”

Golden Cicada and Draco were also surprised by the unexpected turn of events. “Who shot the silver needle? Show yourself!”

No one admitted to the crime.

Golden Cicada and Draco instantly realized there was a spy among their guards. Someone is trying to sow discord. Who planted the spy? D*mn it!

Still, that was obviously not the time to dwell on that issue.

Draco hastily explained to Southern King, “Southern Master, this is a misunderstanding. We did not give this instruction. Someone must've arranged a spy among the guards. The spy is deliberately creating a conflict between us—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Johnny suddenly let out an agonized scream. He clutched his chest and collapsed to the floor, spewing white foam from his mouth. “Poisoned needle... D*mn it! It's a concealed weapon. Help me...”

Draco and Golden Cicada bellowed at the city wall again, “Stop that! Anyone who dares to attack without our order again will be executed by dismemberment!”

Turning to his trusted followers, Draco ordered, “There's a spy among the guards. Hurry up and seize them. We'll interrogate them one by one!”

Draco's trusted followers rushed to the top of the city wall and apprehended all the guards there.

Naturally, the spy among the guards was also arrested.

He didn't plan to escape because he had destroyed all evidence. Hence, he was confident Draco couldn't identify him as the spy.























At that moment, the spy stared at Johnny, who was lying on the floor, in slight astonishment. I didn't shoot the needle and certainly wouldn't harm Johnny. How was he wounded?

However, it didn't take him long to figure out what had happened. Johnny wasn't hit by any needle; he's just putting on an act.

Southern King was further infuriated when he saw Johnny was hurt. “D*mn it! This is outrageous! Summon Zeke here at once. I want to fight him in a death match.”

Sole Wolf said, “A death match? Ha! Do you believe Zeke can end your life with a fart? There's no need for him to face you personally. I'll entertain you instead.”

“Hold on!” Killer Wolf hurriedly stepped forward. “Sole Wolf, that's very inconsiderate of you. This is such a great training opportunity. Why don't you let us handle him? We are in dire need of battle experience.”

Alfred and Tyler chimed in as well, “That's right. He's our prey. Quit competing with us.”

Sole Wolf replied, “Fine. I'll let you all handle him then. I was just thinking how it would dirty my hands if I needed to do away with him.”

Alfred flashed a menacing smile. “This guy can indeed be considered formidable on Theos Island, but he's, at best, as strong as an infant before me. I can eliminate all of them with just a casual punch.”

Tyler laughed mockingly. “One punch? Stop embarrassing us. I can crush them with one finger.”
