Lord Protector Novel

The guard retorted indignantly, “The colonel has given us the instruction to stop anyone from entering the mine. We hope you can cooperate with us.”

Zeke sighed in disappointment and was about to leave.

Julian let out a mirthless laugh, “Zeke, do you think that you’re still in your heyday? Now, you’re just a useless man who holds an insignificant title.”

Ares, too, sneered, “If I’m not wrong, you’ve come to beg the King Class warrior in the Spirit Stone mine, so he could help you restore your foundations, right? Too bad, you don’t deserve to meet him at all.”

“But I do have good news for you. I’ve become a King Class warrior now. Beg me, and I might help you restore your foundations, considering the fact that you’re my son-in-law,” he added.

Zeke cast a disdainful look at Ares, “I’ll never bow to you even if I have to die.”

He then left in anger.

Julian turned to Ares, “Father, let’s just ignore him. We have a more important task to accomplish. Let’s go and get rid of Luna now. I think she should be here by now.”

Ares shook his head, “We don’t have to anymore.”

Julian panicked, “What made you change your mind?”

Ares smirked and responded, “I’m going to kill two birds with one stone. By doing so, we can earn merits, and at the same time, eliminate Zeke once and for all.”

Julian’s eyes brightened, and he smiled, “I think I get it now. You’ll get Luna to kill Zeke first, and then we’ll kill Luna to avenge the Great Marshal?”

Ares nodded, “Exactly. You’re indeed my son.”

Julian proposed presumptuously, “I think we should just get rid of Zeke ourselves, pin the blame on Luna, and finish her off. By doing so, we can save time and avoid unnecessary problems.”

Ares instantly shook his head, “That’s a bad idea. The guards at the Spirit Stone mine noticed we had a conflict with Zeke earlier. They would suspect us should anything happen to him here.”

“You have a point,” Julian nodded in agreement.

Ares looked in the direction where Zeke left, and mockery flashed across his eyes, “I’ve just placed a GPS tracker on his body, and he didn’t even notice it. What has become of this Great Marshal? What a shame.”

Ares then gave Luna his GPS signal.

Zeke, of course, knew Ares had placed a GPS tracker on him, but he decided to play along and not expose his trick.
