Lord Protector Novel

Preferring not to waste time on nonsense, Speedy questioned directly, “You're Zeke Williams, the new leader of Southern Faction Centuria?”

“That's right. What can I help you with?” Zeke nodded in response.

“I only have one question for you. What's the meaning of this?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Why are you refining the spiritual iron to Grade Two? Don't you know that it's against the rules of Centuria? Also, are you trying to stop me from taking these Spirit Stones?”

“We worked hard for them, so why should we let you have them? Since they belong to us, we can refine them to whichever grade we please. An outsider like you has no say in this matter!”

“I see that I was right after all. This is a mutiny!” stated Speedy coldly. “Don't you know what happens to those who start a rebellion on Theos Island? You'll regret the day you were born when Southern King makes you pay!”

“That reminds me of the reason I'm here—to make you pay. You beat my people up for no reason, so how do you intend to make it up to them?”

After taking a deep breath, Speedy replied, “They should've known better than to offend me. I simply taught them a lesson for you.”

“So you're saying that I should thank you?”

“You don't have to—”

Slap!

Before Speedy could finish his sentence, Zeke slapped him so hard that he was sent flying away.

“You must be an idiot if you couldn't tell that I was being sarcastic,” remarked Zeke.

Everyone dropped their jaws when they witnessed what Zeke did. He just slapped Speedy as if it was nothing. No wonder he was able to unify Northern Faction and Southern Faction. He is incredible!

Speedy was stunned after getting hit, for he did not expect Zeke to get physical.

“Just you wait, Zeke! You won't get away with this,” threatened Speedy through gritted teeth while holding his cheek. “I'm leaving. You win this time.”

With that, Speedy was ready to make a break for it, but Zeke refused to let him.

“Don't go just yet. We still have unfinished business. You can leave as soon as we have everything hashed out,” uttered Zeke before snapping his fingers. “Get me the list.”

The guards who got beaten up then quickly handed Zeke the list showing how Speedy treated them.

After glancing at the paper, Zeke voiced, “Speedy slapped you twice, huh? Then do the same to him ten times.”

“Yes, sir!” responded one of the guards before cautiously approaching Speedy, who was furious by then.

Speedy could tolerate getting hit by Zeke since the man was the leader of Northern Faction and Southern Faction, but there was no way he would let a guard lay a finger on him. Why would anyone in Legion respect me if I get humiliated like this? I'll become a laughingstock!
