Lord Protector Novel

Suddenly, Zeke stood up but his lower torso remained on the bed.

Zeke smirked, “Are you surprised? It’s time for you to witness a miracle.”

He turned over the blanket that was covering his body and revealed the body of a mannequin.

All this while, Zeke had only revealed his head. He hid his body underneath the bed.

On top of that, he looked pretty normal and did not look sick at all!

Damn it! The Great Marshal is well-prepared!

Does this mean he knew this would happen? Has he found out that I have betrayed the Cygnus Room and is sent to assassinate him?

He abruptly remembered how he suspected someone was monitoring him when he was at the Bloodworth Syndicate’s headquarters. He also recalled the short circuit incident there.

Did the Great Marshal infiltrated the Bloodsworth Syndicate’s headquarters?

It was very likely.

Zeke sighed continuously, “The Cygnus Room was the most advanced technological research center in Eurasia, yet its second-in-command chose to support the enemy. We’ve indeed chosen the wrong person for the job.”

Zoda Wood was utterly devastated. The best solution he could think of was to end his own life.

The Great Marshal would surely torture him and make his life a living hell.

He ran and tried to smash his head into a wall without any warning.

Zeke shouted, “Have you ever thought of your newborn twins?”

With that, Zoda stopped running. He knew the Great Marshal was threatening him with his sons.

He dropped to his knees before Zeke. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. Please be kind and punish me. I’m willing to pay the price for my crimes, but please leave my family alone.”

Zeke exclaimed, “What you’ve committed was a grave crime, and your family deserves to be punished too! If you want me to pardon your family, tell me everything you know about the Bloodsworth Syndicate.”

Zoda hesitated, he clenched his teeth and agreed, “Alright, I’ll cooperate with you.”

Zeke asked, “What did the Bloodsworth Syndicate offer you in exchange for your allegiance and my assassination?”

Zoda answered, “They’ll give me the Sierra island and promise me that I can build a country there.”

What?

Zeke knitted his brows.

The Bloodsworth Syndicate owns the Sierra island and can simply offer it to someone as a reward?

It looks like their influence is expanding fast. Their headquarters under the Golden Voda Lake could be one of their many bases. Their actual headquarters might be ten or even a hundred times larger than that.

Zeke continued, “Why did you make a mold of my face earlier?”

He answered, “Bloodworth is a master of disguise. Once you’re dead, he wants to take over your position as the Great Marshal to run the Cygnus Room.”
