Lord Protector Novel

Upon registering the unfamiliar face, Hawkeye turned livid. “B*stard, who allowed you to bring strangers to me? Kill him right away!”

Yannick quickly begged for mercy on Zeke's behalf, “Mr. Hawk, please don't be mad. This young man here is our savior. Without him, we would've died at Lewis Village.”

Hawkeye snapped, “I don't care whether or not he's your savior. No strangers are allowed here. Who knows who this man really is? All unfamiliar faces who have seen me must die!”

Yannick hastily said, “Mr. Hawk, we know each other well. He's from Lewis Village. We know him well.”

It was only then Hawkeye calmed down a little. “So he's from your village?”

Yannick nodded. “Of course. I wouldn't have brought him here otherwise. We're good friends. I can't bear to enjoy a good life working for you while leaving my friend to suffer in the village, so I brought him along. One of the reasons for my insistence to go back to Lewis Village was that I wanted to bring him along with me to work for you.”

Hawkeye glanced at Zeke. “Young man, is that so?”

Hawkeye was one of the culprits behind the incident, and Zeke wished he could skin him alive there and then.

Nevertheless, he managed to tamp his anger.

After all, Hawkeye was his way to get to Theos. If he were to kill Hawkeye, he would not be able to meet Theos and save Lacey.

Therefore, Zeke inclined his head as he forced his expression to remain neutral.

Hawkeye sneered. “Yannick, your friend's poker-faced. He doesn't have any expressions at all. I think he's mentally challenged. People like him would be slow to react. He still wouldn't have a bright future if he were to work for me. He'll only have a roof over his head and food enough to fill him.”

Zeke clenched his fists, wishing once again he could kill Hawkeye.

You b*stard, how dare you say that I'm mentally challenged and slow to react? If not for Lacey, I'd have chopped you into billions of pieces by now.

In contrast, Yannick was frightened by Hawkeye's words to the point he was sweating buckets.

Hawkeye's doomed. I can't believe he has the guts to say that the Great Marshal is mentally challenged...

Then, Hawkeye stated, “You can stay if you want to work for me. Don't worry. Although you're mentally challenged, as long as you listen to me, I'll make sure you have a great time for the rest of your life.”

Again?

Not long after, Yoshua came back. Not only did he collect a lot of firewood, but he even caught a whole nest of rabbits.

“Mr. Hawk, for you,” Yoshua said with a smile as he handed the rabbits to Hawkeye.

“Good.” Hawkeye nodded in satisfaction before turning to Zeke. “Young man, learn more from the brothers and learn to read the room. Don't keep a poker face all day. You might end up having facial paralysis.”

Inwardly, Zeke growled, Hang in there. Hang in there for a while longer.

Anyhow, Zeke had already sentenced Hawkeye to death in his mind.
