Lord Protector Novel

After rising to his feet to stretch, Speedy turned to Draco. “How's the preparation coming along? I'm hungry.”

“Be patient, Speedy. It's almost ready. I just need you to wait a little while longer,” answered Draco, who was wondering anxiously why Zeke had not shown up yet because he did not think he could keep Speedy under control much longer.

Just when Draco was still thinking, Speedy suddenly looked behind the man and uttered, “What are you doing here, Your Majesty?”

What? Why is Southern King here? Turning around Instinctively, Draco and the others of Southern Faction were dumbfounded when they realized who had appeared.

Southern King was Legatus of Southern Faction. Not only was he powerful, but he was also like a deity to the faction members. On Theos Island, he was second only to Legatus of Northern Faction.

Everyone could not help but wonder why Southern King was with them since he rarely left the Legion district.

When Speedy saw how the others got distracted, he almost jumped for joy. This is my chance!

Then, he leaped into the air without a second thought and got tens of meters high.

Speedy was about to reach the mountain when somebody suddenly threw a rope and caught him by the leg.

As soon as the rope was pulled back, the man was dragged down and fell heavily to the ground.

Speedy only regained his senses after slamming into the floor because of how fast he got pulled down.

The fall was violent enough that he vomited blood and lost a few teeth. With the severe pain in his jaw, Speedy suspected that he had sustained a fracture.

However, his physical pain was nothing compared to the fear in his heart.

“D*mn it! Who the heck has such speed and strength? Even Golden Cicada and Draco are incapable of such a feat. It's hard to believe there's someone this powerful in Centuria.” Speedy tried to get up but to no avail since he could not rid himself of the rope.

At that point, he could not help but wonder how someone could wrap the rope so tightly around his leg without much effort.

Speedy almost lost his mind when he witnessed what happened next—the rope around his leg began dissipating at a reasonable speed, but after three seconds, it disappeared without a trace. What the heck happened? How does a rope vanish into thin air? This isn't just a trick but magic!

The truth was that Zeke materialized his energy into a ball of rope, which disappeared after he withdrew his energy.

Draco and the others only realized they had been tricked when they saw no one behind them.

Then, they turned back around to find Speedy lying and bleeding on the ground. It's obvious that Speedy fooled us in an attempt to get away, but for some reason, he fell flat on the floor instead of escaping.

Angered, Draco scolded Speedy, “What's the meaning of this? Don't you think it's rude to leave without saying goodbye?”

However, Speedy did not respond to Draco because he had been focused on finding the master of the rope. I'm probably doomed if I'm being targeted by such a powerful person.
