Lord Protector Novel

“Okay. Go on and start collecting spiritual water, everyone. You'll get food if you manage to collect spiritual water. Otherwise, you'll starve,” Megahead uttered.

As soon as those words fell, everyone quickly left to collect spiritual water.

Spiritual water was scarce. If someone else were to get there before them, they would have to starve.

Just as Zeke, Yannick, and Yoshua were about to leave, Hawkeye stopped them and said, “The three of you, come here.”

The three of them walked toward Hawkeye and asked, “What is it?”

Hawkeye threw a small bottle at them and said, “Take this. Keep the spiritual water in here if you find any.”

“Okay.”

Hawkeye then added, “Since I've brought you guys here, you have to give me half of whatever you find in a month. Got it?”

“Why is that?” Zeke asked.

Hawkeye laughed in response. “What do you think? That's the rule.”

Zeke didn't bother speaking further. After all, he's going to die in two days' time. I'll just ignore whatever he says.

Zeke then left with Yannick and Yoshua.

Shortly after they left, a few members returned, and they were approaching Phagos' corpse suspiciously.

Megahead glanced at them. “Stop right there! Why are you all back?”

The members smiled awkwardly and answered, “Megahead, we were close to Phagos when he was alive. We can't bear to see his body being left unattended, so we want to bury him.”

In response, Megahead questioned coldly, “Do you think I don't know what you all are up to?”

Those members felt even more embarrassed, and they stared at Megahead with pleading expressions on their faces.

“Fine. Bring it away. Remember this, though. The three of you owe me a drop of spiritual water,” Megahead uttered.

“Understood!” Those members quickly lunged forward to take Phagos' corpse away.

Meanwhile, Hawkeye saw one of the men salivating while looking at Phagos' corpse.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. Those men are going to eat Phagos' corpse! Is the living environment on Theos Island so tough that the people here had resorted to cannibalism? Sh*t! It seems like I have to bring a few more people to Theos Island to serve me. If I were to collect spiritual water all by myself, I'll eventually starve to death.

In the meantime, a while after Zeke and the other two left, Yannick suddenly asked, “Mr. Williams, when are you going to kill Hawkeye and help us get revenge?”

“Hawkeye is still useful to me, so I can't kill him for the time being. Once he serves me no purpose, I'll take his life,” Zeke answered.

“Okay. We'll listen to you, Mr. Williams,” Yoshua said.

Zeke then suddenly halted in his tracks and uttered coldly, “Stop hiding. Come out at this instant.”

Hearing that, Yannick and Yoshua grew anxious. Are we being followed?
