Lord Protector Novel

Lacey screamed in horror as the men approached, “Help, help!”

Whoosh!

A few needles suddenly zipped through the air and struck the five men’s legs.

The men felt numbness spreading from their legs and slowly turning them into concrete.

What’s going on?

The men cautiously took a look at the surroundings.

Lacey is an ordinary person, and Zeke is paralyzed, so they couldn’t have launched the silver needles.

There’ must be another hidden enemy here!

But the room is quite simple in design, so there’s no way someone could’ve hidden here.

That leaves us with only one explanation, Zeke was the one who launched the needles.

That means he’s not even paralyzed!

The five men stared at Zeke in horror and saw him laughing mockingly at them as if they were freaks in a circus!

This was a trap!

The five men tried to escape, but their legs were immobilized, so they collapsed to the floor simultaneously.

After that, an imposing aura suddenly engulfed and overwhelmed them, making them suffocate.

The five men turned around in horror and saw that Zeke, who was lying on the bed, was standing up right now!

He marched towards them slowly with very steady steps and a heavy murderous aura emanating from him.

We’re screwed!

The five men closed their eyes helplessly.

They never would’ve thought that Zeke could find the antidote to The Seven Blossoms of Death!

Lacey stuttered as she saw Zeke, “Zeke, y-you’re standing up.”

Zeke replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Lacey. I had to do this. They are the biggest enemy of Eurasia, so I needed to lure them in by faking my paralysis.”

The poison of the Seven Blossoms of Death was counteracted by the usage of Rhodiola rosea a long time ago.

Despite that, Zeke still acted as if he was paralyzed because he wanted to lure the Bloodsworth Syndicate to him.

That way, he could find out where their base was and destroy them in one fell swoop.

Lacey took a deep breath as tears rolled in her eyes. “Zeke, there’s no need to explain yourself. I get it. It’s amazing that you can stand again! There are still a lot of places I want you to go with me.”

Zeke smiled and reassured her. “Don’t worry! After I finish my business, I’ll go travelling with you. Lacey, go back to your parent’s house tonight. I’ll take care of them.”

Lacey wanted to stay because she was worried about his safety, but under his incessant persuasion, she gave in.

“Zeke, please stay safe for my sake,” pleaded Lacey.

“Don’t worry. I will.”
