Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)
Chapter 1139

Ares asked, "How do you plan on wiping out Bloodsworth's syndicate?"

Zeke put down his notepad, "Stay in touch. I'll contact you with this when I need your help."

Ares replied, "Alright!"

Zeke left the dumpsite and left the base to return to the surface of the waters effortlessly.

Being the man in charge of all the assassin organizations in Eurasia, Zeke was crowned as the King of Assassins.

Hence, he inherited the skill of moving swiftly like a phantom that left neither a shadow nor any footprint.

The first thing he did after he left the site was to go to Cygnus Room.

Since Bloodsworth had bribed Cygnus Room's second-in-command Zoda Wood, Zeke had to take him down and obtain as much information about Bloodsworth from him as possible.

In the headquarters of the Bloodsworth Syndicate, Bloodsworth heaved a long sigh of relief when he found out it was one of his men who caused a short circuit after splashing some water on the power switch by accident in a brawl.

He initially thought it was his enemy who barged into the headquarters.

Once the electricity supply resumed, Bloodsworth summoned Zoda over.

Zoda was the second-in-command of the Cygnus Room, and Bloodsworth had spent a large amount of money to pull him over to his side.

To Bloodsworth, Zoda was extremely important. Hence, he treated him with great respect by addressing him as Master.

"Master Zoda, please have a seat." Bloodsworth gave up his seat for him.

Zoda sat down and asked, "What's with the short circuit? I hope it's not someone trying to break into the headquarters."

Bloodsworth replied, "Don't worry about it. A few of our men had an fight and caused a short circuit."

Phew!

Zoda also let out a sigh of relief.

He was worried that someone from Eurasia barged into the headquarters and found out that he had betrayed them.

"Master Zoda, the intel you provided us earlier was not accurate," Bloodsworth said.

"Zeke has been recuperating in Cygnus Room all this while. He hasn't left the site at all."

"How is that possible?" Zoda frowned, "I saw him leaving the Cygnus Room with my own eyes."

Bloodsworth continued, "I suppose he did that intentionally to mislead us, so we'll direct our focus somewhere else for now. This will give him ample time to recuperate."

Zoda nodded, "Yes, it's possible."

Bloodsworth continued, "It'll make our life easier if Zeke is in Cygnus Room. He must have let down his guard when he's there. I hope you can add some poison into his medicine, Master Zoda."

Zoda hesitated.

Deep in his heart, he actually felt bad for betraying Eurasia to serve the Bloodsworth Syndicate.

Now, Bloodworth wanted him to poison the Great Marshal. He could not imagine how disastrous it would be for Eurasia.

Bloodsworth continued to persuade him, "Master Zoda, I'll give you the Sierra island if you do what I told you to."

"The Sierra island has all the potentials of becoming a country. You could declare yourself as the king there and enjoy all the wealth, power, and women."

Zoda was tempted.

A scholar being given a chance to become a powerful king - who on earth could resist this temptation?

Zoda nodded, "Alright."

Without further delay, he left the Bloodsworth Syndicate and returned to Cygnus Room.

Zeke quickly sneaked back into the Cygnus Room and pretended he was still paralyzed.

A nurse was shocked to see Zeke there when she came in to clean the room.

"How come you're still here, Great Marshal? I thought you've left?"

Zeke answered, "The person you saw was my double, and I employed him to blindside the enemy. The enemy would then focus on him and overlook my actions."

The nurse was enlightened, "I'm so sorry, Great Marshal. We are not aware of that and have neglected your care. Let me go and get your medicine now."

"Alright." Zeke nodded.

Once the medicine was ready, the nurse brought it to Zeke's ward. While she was on her way to deliver the medicine, she bumped into Cygnus Room's second-in-command, Zoda.

Zoda asked, "Who is this medicine for?"

The nurse replied, "I prepared this for the Great Marshal."

"The person who has left the room was actually his double. The Great Marshal has been around here all this while. I've neglected his care, and I'm willing to accept my punishment."

Zoda reprimanded, "You are useless! How could you not notice that? You deserve to be punished indeed. I'll serve him the medicine and punish you later. Give me the medicine."
