Lord Protector Novel

Zeke answered, “It must be Luna, one of the Four Divinities.”

Mr. Collins clenched his fists, “Damn it. How could he, an Archduke, get in touch with the country’s enemy? He doesn’t deserve to be a member of the Taichi Duo.”

Zeke shook his head, “How certain are you that he’s the real Ares?”

Huh?

Mr. Collins was befuddled, “What do you mean? Who else can he be?”

Zeke explained, “Two years ago when Ares and I were fighting against the enemy, he sustained severe injuries on his right foot. The injuries were so severe that even Cygnus Room did not know what to do. This incident had left him with a limp on his right foot. Yet, just now, he didn’t limp at all when he walked. In fact, his right foot seems to be much stronger than his left root. Hence, I’m quite sure that man isn’t the real Ares.”

Gasp!

Mr. Collins took a deep breath, “If what you said is true, this art of disguise is definitely in a league of its own. Great Marshal, who do you think is the impersonator?”

Zeke shook his head, “I’m not sure, but he reminded me of a hidden sect.”

The words hidden sect sent shivers down Mr. Collins’s spine, “Are you referring to the Carter Sect, which has lived in seclusion in Mount Final? I heard they’re the masters of the art of disguise, and they could easily replicate a person’s face and expression.”

Zeke nodded, “That’s right. I believe the Carter Sect is involved in this.”

Mr. Collins asked cautiously, “What’s your plan? Eurasia’s four hidden sects are not easy to deal with.”

Zeke said icily, “These four hidden sects have exhausted Eurasia’s resources and trained many powerful warriors, yet they choose to live in seclusion instead of contributing to the nation. To put it bluntly, they’re the parasites of the nation!”

“We would have turned a blind eye to their practice if they had behaved themselves, but now, they’re causing great damage to Eurasia. I’ll make use of this fake Ares to find them, collect all the evidence, and force them to come clean. They’ll have to either deploy some of their powerful disciples to safeguards the borders or hand over their ancient martial arts scripts to benefit Eurasia’s martial artists,” he continued.

Mr. Collins then asked, “What do you have in mind?”

“We’ll beat him at his own game,” Zeke answered, “Go find a place and hide first. I’ll meet with the fake Ares.”

Mr. Collins readily agreed, and they went their separate ways.

In just a short while, Zeke arrived at the military checkpoint of the Spirit Stone mine and acted as if he coincidentally met Ares and Julian there.

At this point, Ares was about to leave with Julian. He was ready to kill Luna, earn merits, and go home with the Spirit Stones.
