Lord Protector Novel

No one could possibly leave the village without the consent of the person in charge of the soldiers.

Immediately, Zeke recognized the troop as the famous Firewall Unit that would make it to the top three on a yearly basis whenever a drill was carried out.

However, Zeke was aware of the truth going on behind the scenes because the results had been altered manually.

In actual fact, if all ten troops of the Alpha Suicide Squad took part in the drill, the Firewall Unit definitely wouldn’t make the top ten.

An elder with an ethereal demeanor stood in front of the Firewall Unit’s soldiers. He stood upright and looked down at the village. The one leading the troop was none other than Chris.

The moment Mr. Collins detected Chris’ presence, he got worked up and exclaimed, “He’s the one! Although I have never seen his face before, judging by his appearance, I’m certain he’s the mastermind who has taken my comrades out back in the day! Finally, I have found him! To hell you go, you fool!”

Once Mr. Collins finished his sentence, he was about to rush over to Chris’ side for a showdown with him, but Zeke got in Mr. Collins’ way and stopped him. “Please remain calm for the time being.”

“I can’t possibly suppress my emotions anymore! The humiliation I had to go through over the years...” Mr. Collins clenched his teeth.

“Don’t worry! I shall avenge you and your men today!” Zeke asserted in a serious tone.

“Mmm!” Finally, Mr. Collins gave in to Zeke’s instruction.

Actually, it took Mr. Collins great determination and courage because he had to suppress his anger and give in to Zeke.

On the other hand, Chris was confused the moment he detected the presence of them both because he didn’t expect the leader of Seal Mercenary, Tyler Collins, otherwise known as Mr. Collins, to be alive.

He was even more surprised because the person who was investigating the incident back then was the Great Marshal.

It seemed as though the Great Marshal had submitted himself to Ares and was carrying out the latter’s command.

Nevertheless, he decided to pay no heed to them both because one of them was a marshal who had been rendered handicapped while the other one was but the leader of a troop that had been wiped out.

Chris was certain they wouldn’t be a threat to him. Therefore, he decided to make the first move and warned them, “Ever since the discovery of Spirit Stone mine, the village has been off-limits to unauthorized personnel. Marshal, as part of the military, you have shown up without any authorization. Hence, you are found guilty of trespassing and embezzlement of the Spirit Stone mine. You should turn yourself in, Marshal. Otherwise, I’ll have to take you into custody by force.”

In return, Zeke scoffed, “Chris, I can’t think of a better word to describe you other than a hypocrite. You know what? In order to lure out the mastermind behind the incident, I have spent so much effort and pulled all sorts of strings behind the scenes. Are you the one behind the annihilation of the Seal Mercenary back in the day?”

“Huh? I have no idea what you’re talking about. You should stop resisting and turn yourself in obediently,” Chris suggested.

Zeke let out a sigh of despair because he couldn’t take the traitor out himself. He had to lie low and keep his identity confidential for the time being. Therefore, he would have to hand over the task to Mr. Collins.

He thought about it and realized it was a great chance for Mr. Collins to avenge his comrades.

Thus, he turned around and looked at Mr. Collins as he instructed, “Mr. Collins, the stage is yours. It’s time for you to pacify the souls of your fallen comrades.”

By then, Mr. Collins couldn’t hold back his excitement anymore. He drew the long sword he had brought along and dragged it over to Chris’ side determinedly.

As the man marched towards Chris, sparks could be seen scintillating due to the friction between the sword and the ground.
