Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2746

Chapter 2746 Despair

Back in Centuria's district, Alp, who had been searching for a Spirit Stone there, had just woken up after he was knocked unconscious and tied to a tree.

Dazed, he surveyed his surrounding for a long time before he recovered his memories.

When he did, he was furious. I can't believe Dooragan and his brothers ambushed me! Not only that, but after they bound me here, someone knocked me out! I don't know who that b*stard is, but they have some guts to do that to me! Still, why did they attack me and not kill me?

After struggling for a while, he realized he couldn't free himself from the ropes.

“Someone, save me! Please! Can anyone hear me? If you do, please rescue me or say something. I promise I'll reward you if you save me...”

Unfortunately, even after his voice turned hoarse, still no one answered him.

Even though despair was seeping into his heart, he refused to give up because his family was still waiting for him to return home.

With no other choice, Alp continued to shout.

Suddenly, a moody voice rang behind him. “Stop yelling. You're being very noisy.”

When Alp turned around, he saw Dooragan and his brothers heading toward him.

There was a fourth person with the brothers, but Alp didn't recognize him. I don't need to guess to know he's the one who knocked me unconscious!

He glared at them because all of them were enjoying a roasted lamb leg.

They each were also holding a bulging sack over their shoulders, and Alp couldn't tell what was inside.

When Alp saw the juicy, delicious roasted lamb, his saliva almost dripped out of his mouth. Goddammit! I missed out on roasted lamb today because of these b*stards!

When Scar Face and the other three arrived before Alp, he waved the roasted lamb in front of the latter. “Want some?”

Gritting his teeth, Alp spat, “Are you the b*stard who ambushed me?”

“Of course.”

“Damn you! Why?”

“Because ambushing you is the only way I can subdue you.”

Really? Still gritting his teeth, Alp asked, “What do you all want?”

Scar Face took one more bite of the roasted lamb before throwing the bone away.

When Alp saw that, his heart wrenched. There was still so much meat on the bone! Why did he throw it away before finishing it or suck the marrow out? He should've given it to me if he doesn't want it anymore! What a wastrel!

“Let me ask you something,” uttered Scar Face. “Why did you come here?”

After thinking about what to say, Alp replied, “To find a Spirit Stone.”

“Ah, so you're here to find a Heavenly Spirit Stone.”

When Alp heard that, he trembled. Dammit! How did they know about Heavenly Spirit Stone? Most people don't know they exist and will treat them as ordinary Spirit Stones even if they do see one. Even a Legatus won't be able to tell the difference! Only Theos' spies and Camp Master know what it is! What's the deal with them?

Despite feeling nervous, he pretended to be calm. “I don't know what you're talking about.”

“Very well. Since you refuse to cooperate with us, we'll be leaving now. We'll be organizing a barbeque party tonight, so I don't have time to waste on you.”

Alp panicked. If they leave me here, I'm going to die of starvation in three days! This place is so secluded that it can be a month or two before someone else shows up here!
