Lord Protector Novel

That was when Zeke fully understood what was going on.

Oh, right... I did place a spy named Samuel Newman here in the Ministry of Sacred. Man, I didn't even know he died in an accident! Even so, he never let me down and made sure his sons continued his work!

Feeling touched, Zeke stepped forward and patted the four bodyguards on the shoulder. “You've done well, all of you. You are truly great spies indeed! I hereby officially grant you the spy code numbers: one, zero, one; one, zero, two; one, zero, three, and one, zero, four. Do continue to carry out your duties in service to the North!”

“Thank you, Master!” the four bodyguards thanked him excitedly.

“I'm looking for the head of the Ministry of Sacred and his family members. Where are they?” Zeke asked.

“They've escaped through the secret passageways,” the four bodyguards replied.

“Listen up, all of you! I want you to bring them in so they can answer for their crimes!” Zeke ordered.

“Roger!”

The four bodyguards then leaped to their feet and quickly disappeared behind one of the secret passageways.

“Why would you place so many spies in a small place like Corleon, Great Marshal?” Ares asked curiously.

Zeke took a deep breath and explained, “Corleon has always been rich with natural resources and talented people, so there are bound to be people who would set their sights on this land. I can't rest easy unless I have more spies here.”

Ares nodded. “You truly are a wise one, Great Marshal. You were right to have done so. I bet the head of the Ministry of Sacred is planning on reigning supreme too, or he wouldn't have tried to split your soul earlier!”

The four newly appointed spies had made their way through the secret passageways with ease and had quickly caught up to the fleeing family members.

“Sawyer? What are you guys doing here?” Sideburns exclaimed in shock when he saw them.

“Master would like to see you all,” Sawyer replied.

Master?

“My husband is back? Thank goodness! No one will dare to cause trouble here again!” said Juliana happily.

Sawyer shook his head. “No, the head of the Ministry of Sacred has yet to return.”

Juliana was confused. “But... I thought you said your master...”

“Our master is the wielder of the Dragon King Sword, not your husband,” Sawyer replied.

The looks on everyone's faces changed instantly. “What the hell are you talking about, Sawyer? How dare you betray the Ministry of Sacred?”

“Our master has always been the wielder of the Dragon King Sword. The head of the Ministry of Sacred is just a target that we're spying on, so this isn't an act of betrayal,” Sawyer said as he and his brothers drew their swords.

“The wielder of the Dragon King Sword is none other than the Great Marshal himself. As far as I know, the four of you have never left Corleon, and the Great Marshal has never set foot here either. How could he possibly be your master? I bet you guys have been tricked!”

Sawyer and his brothers got all excited when they heard that.

They knew for a fact that Zeke was indeed wielding the Dragon King Sword, but they didn't expect such a young man like him to be the legendary Great Marshal.
