Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2728

“It seems that you won't admit it until the very last second. Must I provide the evidence?” Quinlan forewarned.

“It's just baseless accusations. What evidence is there?” Camp South Master argued.

Quinlan let out a snort. “How stubborn. Let me ask you this. Why are there so many more Heavenly Spirit Stones at Zeke's Centuria camp?”

A bitter smile spread across Camp South Master's face. “Aren't you pushing it too far, Quinlan? There are plenty of Heavenly Spirit Stones on Theos Island, so why are you blaming me for there being Heavenly Spirit Stones in his camp? Besides, this should be a good thing for Centuria, right?”

“You're truly an expert at feigning ignorance. Your aura is present in all those Heavenly Spirit Stones! Why did your Heavenly Spirit Stones suddenly appear in the Centuria's district?”

What?

Camp South Master was taken aback. “My aura? Those Heavenly Spirit Stones are mine? Damn it! Someone from the Centuria's district must've sneaked into Camp South and stolen them.”

“Enough!” Quinlan shouted. “Don't think I don't know your secret plan. The beasts of Theos Island are strongly drawn to those Heavenly Spirit Stones. I'm guessing you mean to use the stones to entice the beasts to Zeke's Centuria and cause carnage, or you're trying to get Zeke to kill those beasts. Once many of them are killed, it will draw the attention of the primordial beasts to deal with Zeke. Am I right?”

Despite his lies being exposed, Camp South Master did not look the slightest bit guilty.

“That's just your speculation and far from the truth. If it wasn't Zeke who sent someone to steal the Heavenly Spirit Stones, then my subordinate must've accidentally left them in Centuria's district. Either way, it has nothing to do with me.”

Since Camp South Master refused to admit it, there was nothing Quinlan could do about it. “Only fools will take you at your word. Even if your subordinate lost it, it must've been done on your orders. Let me give you a stern warning again. Should you take action against Zeke yourself, not only will you be punished by the laws of nature, but you will also become my enemy. If I return to this world one day, I will kill every member of your family.”

Fear rose within Camp South Master.

Quinlan is notoriously ruthless. If he does return to this world one day, he may actually kill my entire family.

“A mere Centurion is not enough to get my attention, so before he becomes Camp Master, I won't take action against him personally. Of course, if I find out that one of my subordinates threw the Heavenly Spirit Stones into Centuria's district to frame Zeke, I won't let him off easy either.”

Quinlan glared at Camp South Master. “You'd better keep your word.”

With that, he turned around to leave, but Camp South Master stopped him. “Hold on, Quinlan.”

“Spit it out,” Quinlan uttered coldly without looking back.

“I just want to tell you that I won't violate the laws of nature, and I hope you won't do the same.”

“Of course,” came Quinlan's curt reply.

“That includes not passing on the casting technique of divine weapons to Zeke, not even the most basic weapon-casting method. You must let him figure it out himself. Otherwise, you'll be punished!”

Quinlan's lips twitched.

Goddammit! Is he saying that passing on the casting technique of divine weapons to Zeke is also against the laws of nature? Such a strict condition!

He merely snorted before turning around and leaving.

After that, Camp South Master slowly woke up from his sleep with a malicious smirk on his lips.

“Hmph! Let Zeke figure out the casting method of divine weapons on his own. At most, he'll only be able to forge a Dark Level divine weapon. He'll never be able to forge an Earth Level divine weapon, as it requires the power of Heavenly Fire. I'm afraid he'll never be able to access it in his lifetime, and he doesn't even know what it is! As long as he can't forge an Earth Level divine weapon, he'll always be beneath me! Is Quinlan protecting Zeke so much because he expects him to use divine weapons to save him? With a mere Dark Level divine weapon, breaking the parallel universe to rescue Quinlan is just wishful thinking!”
