Chapter 1425
Lord Protector Novel
After hanging up the phone, Ares dialed another number straight away.
âDirector Payne, Iâm counting on you to take down Zeke this time.â
A croaky voice came from the other side of the phone. âDonât worry. Consider it done.â
Thatâs great.
Ares ended the call and immediately rushed to the Linton Group.
Meanwhile, at the Linton Group.
Everyone present was on their knees with reverence.
Even the new Great Marshal, Julian, surrendered himself to the majestic Dragon King Sword.
At the same time, Zeke stood among the crowd with the Dragon King Sword, giving off a sovereign and elegant air that overwhelmed everybody.
He was nothing like an ordinary man whose life force had been destroyed.
He appeared so glorious as if he were still in his prime.
The crowd stared at him in awe.
Zeke totally deserves to be the Great Marshal.
Though he lost his position as the Great Marshal, he is still superior and dominant.
Perhaps it is doomsday for Julian.
Suddenly, a deep and intimidating voice came to them.
âZeke Williams, who do you think you are?â
His tone gave off a King Class energy, giving a headache to everyone who heard his words.
Some of the weaker ones even fainted right away.
Everyone heard his voice before his arrivalââhe was Ares.
Zeke glanced at Ares with a sneer. âMeeting the Dragon King Sword is equal to meeting the Supreme Leader himself. Itâs mutiny if you donât kneel before the Supreme Leaderâ
âItâs rebellion if you donât kneel before the Supreme Leader.â
Ares answered, âDonât you threaten me with the Supreme Leader. Since the Dragon King Sword symbolizes the Supreme Leader, it should only appear during a perilous time. But now you are using the Dragon King Sword to your advantage. Hence, you donât deserve the Dragon King Sword.â
Zeke responded, âThereâs a rebel here who uses his power for personal gain and takes merit that doesnât belong to him. Therefore, the Dragon King Sword is here to strike that rebel.â
Ares mocked him, âAre you the rebel youâre talking about? I have solid evidence that you have committed treason and leaked classified information.â
Ares continued, âJulian, rise to your feet. Youâll soon be the new owner of the Dragon King Sword. Use it to kill rebels as you see fit.â
Julian stood up with much excitement.
From his dadâs tone of voice, Julian knew that the former was certain about taking over the Dragon King Sword.
Zeke reprimanded Ares, âThe Supreme Leader personally bestowed the Dragon King Sword upon me.â
âYou try to reassign the Dragon King Sword to another person with only one statement. You have gone against the will of the Supreme Leader and deserve to be slaughtered.â
Ares shook his head. âSurely I have no right to reassign the Dragon King Sword, but someone else has.â
Zeke asked, âWho is that?â
âDirector of the Department of Law Enforcement, Adrian Payne.â
The Department of Law Enforcement?
Zeke raised his brows. He never thought that the Department of Law Enforcement would get involved in this.
As the highest-ranking law-enforcement authority in Eurasia, the Department of Law Enforcement could execute anyone, including the king, using whatever method the Department deSired.
Did Ares ask for help from the Department of Law Enforcement?
Just as Zeke was still deep in thought, a troop of about a hundred men marched in and promptly surrounded Zeke and the Dragon King Sword.
The head of the troop was Adrian, Director of the Department of Law Enforcement.
Zeke asked in an icy tone, âDirector Payne, what brings you here?â
Adrian laughed. âGreat Marshal... Oh no, I should call you Zeke Williams. I come for two purposes today. Firstly, I would like to catch up with you and see whether youâre enjoying your retired life.
Secondly, Iâm here to sort out the ownership of the Dragon King Sword.â
Zeke replied, âWeâve never worked with one another before, so thereâs no need for catching up.â
Adrian shook his head at him. âMr. Williams, thatâs not true. I was a soldier under you, so I have worked with you before. Unfortunately, you did not even notice me. Iâm now the director of the Department of Law Enforcement, but youâve become an ordinary man. Life is so unpredictable.â
