Lord Protector Novel

Zeke nodded. “Go quick and return quicker. I suggest you not pull any tricks on me. You know what will happen to you if you do that.”

Yannick nodded fervently. “Of course, of course.”

With that, Yannick ran toward Lewis Village.

Zeke then said to Sole Wolf and the others, “I'll be looking for Theos with them. Don't come along.”

Ares anxiously replied, “Great Marshal, why don't I come with you? Theos sounds powerful, and I'm afraid you're not a match for him alone. Moreover, Lacey's my daughter, so I can't help but feel worried about her.”

Zeke responded, “No need. Not only would a large group be pointless, but our numbers might even alert Theos to our plan. Don't worry. I won't try to snatch Lacey back in a head-on confrontation with Theos. Even if I do get her back, she'll be hurt. I'll start a secret rescue mission instead.”

Ares nodded and said nothing else.

Indeed, they would reveal themselves easily if there were too many of them on the task.

“Listen up,” Zeke started.

They then quickly went on one knee. “Please speak your orders, Great Marshal.”

“Elder Erebus of Netherworld and the Guardian of Mount Kush will surely be interested in the large hand as well. They'll do everything they can to find it. Erase our tracks, and don't let anyone learn about Lewis Village. Also, find some time to keep an eye on Linton Group.”

“Understood.”

Shortly after, Yannick came back. His eyes were red-rimmed, and Zeke guessed that he had just cried.

Zeke then said, “Let's go. Take me to Mr. Hawk. My men will stay here to keep an eye on Sherry. If you dare to pull any tricks on our way there by revealing my identity or by setting me up, I'll make sure Sherry dies a horrible death.”

Yannick promptly uttered, “Be at ease, Mr. Williams. We won't dare to do that. Furthermore, now that we're sure that Theos Sect is a cult, we want out of it. We're delighted for the opportunity you've given to us by offering us a different path in life, so how can we possibly sabotage our own opportunity?”

“Smart men. Let's go now. Lead the way.”

Just then, Yannick said, “Wait a minute, Great Marshal. Frankly, we don't know where Mr. Hawk, Hawkeye, is at. We won't be able to find where he is by traveling on foot. Only by using this talisman of space will we be able to go to where Hawkeye is at. I've already used up all of my talismans of space. Yoshua, where are your talismans of space?”

Yoshua cautiously took out a talisman of space and said, “This is the last piece. I hope this works. If this fails, we won't be able to find Hawkeye.”

Zeke curiously asked, “What's up with these talismans of space? Who made them?”

Yannick answered, “These were given to us by Hawkeye. I don't think he made them because he doesn't have many left himself. He told us that these talismans of space are merchandise of Theos Sect and can be exchanged with money.”

Zeke inclined his head and asked nothing else about the talisman of space.

He would find out about everything once he was in Theos Sect.
