Lord Protector Novel

“You should head to the Cygnus Room to recuperate, Sir,” said Wolf’s Greed. “Don’t worry about Pike and the Spirit Stone mine. Leave everything to me.”

Zeke sighed. “I can’t step into the Cygnus Room just yet. Word about the Spirit Stone mine will eventually spread, and when that happens, every country will yearn for it. No one will dare come for the mine if they think I’m doing alright. But if I were to remain in the Cygnus Room, our enemies will realize I’m injured and attack us head-on. The Spirit Stone mine and even Eurasia will be in grave danger then. I’ll stay in the Cygnus Room when this is all over.”

Wolf’s Greed nodded solemnly. “Take care, Sir. I’m off to look for the mine.”

...

Meanwhile, in Japanio.

Lord Yamano and his son, Ichiro Yamano, eagerly awaited Pike’s news.

Pike had gathered fifteen Archdukes from the nine countries just to defeat Zeke.

Thus, there was no way Zeke wouldn’t die, even if he had ten lives.

Yet, the father-and-son duo waited the entire day and night, only to not receive any news from Pike.

This gave them a bad feeling.

After much hesitation, Lord Yamano finally decided to give Pike a call.

He wouldn’t have wanted to contact the man, lest Eurasia suspected him of being involved with the Great Marshal’s death.

But now, he had no other choice.

Pike finally picked up the phone after Lord Yamano dialed his number three times.

Their calls were specially encrypted, so there was no need to worry about Eurasia hacking into their communications.

“How are things progressing, Mr. Pike? Lord Yamano asked.

“Don’t worry. Zeke Williams is now dead. The Great Marshal has been annihilated!”

The Great Marshal’s gone!

Lord Yamano and Ichiro were clearly delighted.

We’ve finally gotten our revenge.

Most importantly, Japanio no longer has to fear Eurasia.

The two parties made a few more brief exchanges before disconnecting the call.

Pike didn’t tell Lord Yamano about the Spirit Stone mine that existed in Eurasia.

Rather than share it with anyone else, he wanted to keep the entire mine to himself.

Ichiro Yamano clenched his fists. “Hmph! This is what you get for going against me, Zeke Williams.”

Then, he turned to Lord Yamano. “I’m making another trip to Eurasia as an emissary, Dad. I’m going to take Lacey Hinton as a concubine too. Only by making the Great Marshal’s woman mine can I wash away all the humiliation Eurasia has caused me!”

Lord Yamano nodded. “Alright. Now that the Great Marshal is dead, we no longer need to be wary of Eurasia. It’s about time to pay them for all they’ve done. Go. Bring Japanio’s strongest fighters with you. Eurasia is full of unnamed champions. The Great Marshal may be dead, but there are plenty of other prominent fighters there.”
