Lord Protector Novel

At the sight of Zeke, Zander leaped to his feet in shock. “D-Dragon...”

Zeke stiffened immediately. If Zander reveals my true identity, my previous efforts will be in vain!

Without hesitation, Zeke released a wave of energy to stop Zander.

In an instant, Zander couldn't move an inch or talk. He stared at Zeke in shock, his eyes as wide as saucers.

Hawkeye, Yannick, and Yoshua were smoking with the old sailor aside. They immediately turned in Zander's direction when they heard his yell.

Both Yannick and Yoshua panicked instantly.

All Zander had said was “Dragon,” but Yannick and Yoshua knew that he most probably recognized the Great Marshal and wanted to expose the latter's identity.

They would be in big trouble if they got caught right now.

Strangely, Zander only managed to utter that one word. He then froze in his spot and fell silent.

Hawkeye and the old sailor knew nothing. They stared at Zander curiously. “Zander, what are you doing? Come, let's smoke together! We brought these cigarettes from Eurasia. Don't wait until we finish them.”

Zander remained motionless. He was actually being held in place by Zeke's energy and couldn't move at all.

At once, Zeke used his energy to move Zander into the cabin.

Hawkeye frowned. “What is wrong with Zander? Why did he ignore me? I didn't offend him.”

The old sailor said, “Ignore him. He hasn't been in his right mind these few days and keeps getting angry. I mean, I only took a sip of his alcohol earlier, yet he got mad at me.”

Comprehension dawned on Hawkeye. “Turns out Zander is upset at you. He's rather tactless, so don't take it to heart. I'll talk to him a few days later, and he'll know what he did wrong.”

The old sailor snorted. “Talk to him? Ha! If he was one to listen to advice, he wouldn't be here with me. Forget it. It's late, so we need to depart now.”

Hawkeye nodded. “Sure, we should depart as soon as possible. I shall buy you a drink when we arrive at the destination.”

The old sailor was busy setting sail as he asked, “Hawkeye, didn't you say it's just the three of you? Why is there an extra person?”

“Oh, my lackey introduced this guy. He's trustable, so don't worry.”

The old sailor nodded. “Of course. The people you recommend are always trustable. Nothing has ever gone wrong. All right, then. You can rest in your cabin. I'll let you know when we arrive at our destination.”

“Sure!”

Hawkeye bade him goodbye and entered the cabin with Zeke and the other two.

Yannick, Yoshua, and Zeke got to share the same cabin under Hawkeye's arrangements. “Stay inside the cabin. Don't go anywhere. There are many restricted areas and traps here. If you take the wrong path, you might die.”

Yannick and Yoshua nodded profusely. “Got it. No problem!”

Zeke asked, “Where is the restroom?”
