Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2743

Chapter 2743 Traitors

I'm the Great Marshal, and my wealth rivals a country's. Why will I ever want your petty change?

On the way back, Zeke questioned Fortuna. “Why did you disobey me earlier?”

Fortuna spat, “I'm a member of the Dragon Race, a being superior to humans! Why should I obey you?”

Zeke frowned. Fortuna has never acted so stubbornly before. What's the matter with it today? Is it because the appearance of those beasts caused its old memories to resurface? Is that why its attitude changed so drastically? “Why did you force those beasts to self-destruct their Cores?”

Enraged, Fortuna growled, “Those b*stards betrayed me! They stole my fire seed and presented it to their new master. They deserve to die! I will kill them! All of them! Hahaha...”

As it immersed itself in its memories, it entered a crazed, bloodthirsty state.

Zeke was astonished. Fortuna said those beasts stole its fire seed. In that case, it's likely that it used to be the beasts' master and even possessed one or more fire seeds! Maybe it'll answer some questions I have about fire seed.

Without hesitation, Zeke asked, “You mentioned they stole your fire seed? What's the deal with that? Also, where's your fire seed now?”

Unfortunately, Fortuna was still in a frenzied state. It couldn't hear him at all.

It kept repeating “kill” with reddened eyes.

The aura it was emitting in that state made Zeke feel pressured.

He tried asking his question again, but Fortuna just ignored him.

Abruptly, Ossa Dei reminded, “You shouldn't keep asking it questions. If you turn Fortuna's attention to you now while it's still in a frenzy, it may perceive you as an enemy and attack you. Wait until it calms down before you speak to it again.”

“Okay!” Zeke stopped his questioning. While I'm confident I can subdue Fortuna if we fight, it'll get hurt and may further refuse to cooperate with me.

“If merely recalling what happened was enough to put Fortuna in that crazed state, I wonder what it went through in the past.”

“Yeah. I didn't expect it had such an unforgettable past.”

Fortuna's rampage came and went quickly.

After around ten minutes, it calmed back down.

Immediately, Zeke asked, “Have you calmed down? Answer my question.”

Fortuna stared at Zeke, perplexed. “What question?”

“Earlier, you said those beasts stole your fire seed and presented it to their new master. What kind of fire seed did you have? Who's their new master, and where are they?”

“What do you mean by that? When did I get a fire seed? Anyway, I detected the smell of a roasted deer coming from the east. How about we go and get a bite of that meat?”

“You just said the beasts you killed stole your fire seed in the past and gifted it to their new master. Think about it carefully. Where's your fire seed now? That information is imperative to us.”

“Do you have a loose screw in your head? Weren't we just talking about the fire seed problem? Like I said, I don't know where we can find a fire seed, and I don't have one. If I did have one, I would've given it to you earlier. Why would I keep it for myself?”

“Are you an idiot or are you playing dumb with me? You literally just killed ten beasts and said they betrayed you back in the day by stealing your fire seed.”
