Chapter 1336
Lord Protector Novel
âTell me! Who the hell is the mastermind?â Zeke asked in a callous tone.
The moment they heard Zekeâs words, they shuddered in fear.
The leader of the hitmen asked in return, âW-Who the hell are you! Youâre insanely strong!â
âAre you sure you have no idea of my actual identity?â Zeke asked.
The hitmen were equally confused. In the end, the leader of the hitmen replied in a cautious manner, âWe have taken on Ares before, but he ainât capable of such things as well! Perhaps the only one who possess such insane capability is the Great Marshal, but he has been rendered handicapped by others.
You canât be the Great Marshal either! Does that mean youâre a King Class warrior?â
Zeke remained silent throughout the session, but he smiled in return. Indirectly, he had affirmed their thoughts.
Bam!
The three hitmen felt light-headed and almost passed out the moment they figured out their opponent was the top-notch King Class warrior of Eurasia.
They were about to commit suicide by biting their tongues because they found themselves foolish once they verified Zekeâs actual identity.
Initially, they thought they would stand a chance against Zeke because they had no idea they were going up against a King Class warrior.
However, since Zeke had revealed his actual identity as a King Class warrior, they were certain death would be the only outcome awaiting them.
Hence, they had made up their mind to end their own miserable lives instead of being torture to their death.
However, Zeke would never allow them to take their lives just like that.
In a flash, a slap landed on each of the hitmenâs faces.
Within seconds, the hitmenâs jaws were dislocated.
Zeke warned the hitmen, âYouâre not allowed to die! If you attempt another suicide, youâll be charged with treason. If thatâs the case, your entire family shall be exterminated. In fact, the graves of your family members shall be removed as well!â
The hitmen were left helpless because death seemed to be a luxury they couldnât afford either.
They could only give in to the orders of the superior one and surrender their lives to Zeke.
âDonât you think Iâm Chris? After all, he possesses the same capability as me. Could it be he was the one who had sent you?â Zeke asked rhetorically.
The hitmenâs expression changed once they heard Zekeâs words.
Their leader broke the silence and offered, âSuperior one, weâre willing to confess everything on one condition. Once we tell you everything, please grant us death. Please leave our family members out of this.â
âVery well!â Zeke replied.
Finally, the leader of the hitmen confessed, âYouâre right. Chris was the one who had sent us to Lake Thewilsa because he wanted us to take Tourneau and his comrades out.â
In return, Zeke asked, âWhy the hell would he pick on thugs of sorts when heâs such a noble one?â
âWe are not sure either, but we suspect the four of them are aware of certain secrets that will pose a threat to Chris,â The leader of the hitmen voiced out his hypothesis.
âGreat! Youâre being pretty frank as you have promised! Letâs go! Itâs time to meet Tourneau and his comrades,â Zeke instructed.
Eventually, they made their way over to Tourneauâs place once again.
By the time they reached Tourneauâs place, Tourneau and his comrades were sleeping soundly yet again.
Mr. Collins rushed over and destroyed their bed with a kick.
Damn it!
Subsequently, Tourneau and his comrades got enraged. They yelled the moment they were roused from their sleep, âWho the hell is it? How dare you interrupt us when weâre sleeping? Weâll complain about you in front of Hades!â
âIâm back, boys! You should get down on your knees and express your gratitude because I have saved your petty lives, scumbags!â Mr. Collins asserted.
âWhat the heck? How dare you get so full of yourself? You have saved us? If you donât get down on your knees in front of us, weâll get Hades to send reapers to come after you tomorrow...â
Suddenly, Borneau held on to Tourneau and told him, âHey, the three of them seem kinda familiar!â
He pointed at the hitmen as he finished his sentence.
Tourneau sized the hitmen up and shuddered all of a sudden. âY-You guys are the soldiers from the other realms, right?â
Although they could barely recognize the hitmen due to their appearance, Torneau and his comrades found that they resembled the so-called soldiers from the other realms back in the day due to their overawing emanation.
Tourneau regretted exposing the hitmenâs identity. Immediately, he shut his mouth and acted as though nothing had happened.
