Chapter 763
Lord Protector Novel
âHahaha!â
Zeke smiled.
Lone Wolf had strong arms, but his legs were his weakness.
He would naturally lose when he used his weakness to compete with someone elseâs strong point.
Zeke muttered, âCome. Letâs go back and continue drinking.â
Haros laughed, âHaha! Letâs drink until we cross that bridge!â
Charon replied, âShut up. Donât use idioms if you donât know how to use them properly.â
......
In the luxurious Imperial Palace, Mr. Quin was training his Siberian wolves.
He was satisfied with this pack of wolves. They were ruthless and cruel, and they would even kill each other just for a taste of meat.
They were more ferocious than any dogs he had had in the past.
Feeling tired from the training, Mr. Quin sat down and sipped from his cup. âDraco, any news from Sim?â
Draco smiled. âNot yet. Maybe Simâs on the way because he wants to tell you the good news in person.â
Mr. Quin nodded with a smile in return. âYes. Sim has assigned the Ferrymen of the Dead to this. There shouldnât be any problem this time. Iâve seen their capabilities. Theyâre bound to win even if theyâre going up against normal masters. Even a top master like me canât guarantee that Iâll be able to take both of them down in ten moves.â
Draco murmured, âMr. Quin, theyâre incomparable to you. After all, they work as a team. If theyâre separated, Iâm sure they would much weaker.â
Mr. Quin took in a deep breath. âThatâs impossible because Iâve never seen them separated.â
Right then, Dracoâs phone rang.
Draco reported, âItâs from Sim.â
Mr. Quin instructed, âPut him on speakers.â
Draco did as instructed.
Sim panted, âMr. Quin, I have bad news.â
Mr. Quinâs heart skipped a beat. âWhatâs wrong?â
Sim explained, âFerrymen of the Dead know Zeke, and he used to be their leader. The mission failed before it even started.â
What?
Mr. Quinâs hand shuddered, and he dropped his cup and it shattered into pieces on the floor.
Ferrymen of the Dead know Zeke, and heâs their leader?
Who the hell is Zeke to make the Ferrymen of the Dead lower themselves in front of him.
Just a businessman from Rivermouth?
That must be a joke!
What kind of enemy has my damn boss assigned me to?
In an instant, Mr. Quin looked as if he had aged ten years. He lay slump on the chair, huffing.
Gavin Zachary was defeated, the Thirteen Guardians were killed, Reuben Mack had turned into a traitor, and the underworld forces had gotten out of hand.
Even the Ferrymen of the Dead had joined the side of the enemy.
Now, Mr. Quin was left with no one.
The danger alarm in his mind was wailing.
Dracoâs phone rang again.
He carefully glanced at Mr. Quin before stepping out of the room to take the call.
A moment later, he returned with a solemn look.
âWho was it?â Mr. Quin realized something amiss about the call when he saw Dracoâs change of expression.
Draco carefully explained, âThe businessmen, politicians, and underworld forces on your side have called to ask how are your preparations against this catastrophe going. It sounds like they think that youâre at your witâs end. They sound like theyâre going to leave your side for Zeke instead.â
Mr. Quin sneered, âAt my witâs end? Haha, the ace up my sleeve is me!â
He rotated his wrist. âItâs been a while since Iâve made a move. My fists are itching to collide with something. Draco, youâre right. I shouldâve been the one to go up against Zeke from the start.â
Draco beamed, âMr. Quin, youâre number two in Eurasiaâs ranking. If you make a move, Iâm sure youâll turn the table around.â
