Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)
Chapter 1263

Wolf's Greed suggested, "Zeke, let's get the Alpha Suicide Squad to protect the Spirit Stone mine."

Zeke shook his head, "No. The enemy is probably finding a way to enter Eurasia to steal the Spirit Stone. The Alpha Suicide Squad is to guard the borders and protect our sovereignty. Kill all illegal immigrants. In the meantime, I'll come up with another way to protect the Spirit Stone mine."

"Alright," Wolf's Greed responded. He then arranged for his second-in-command to contact the Alpha Suicide Squad.

Zeke explained, "The Spirit Stone mine should be behind this door. Open it."

"Roger!" Wolf's Greed replied and got to work.

However, this door was made of stone and could not be opened by human force alone.

Even normal explosives could not damage it in the slightest.

If they used heavy-duty explosives, it might cause the cave to cave in.

Thus, the only way to open the door was to activate the mechanism linked to it.

After a brief search, an amusing conclusion was reached.

At the center of the door, there was a modern password-activated lock.

The crowd was stunned.

Why is there such a high-tech mechanism in the imperial mausoleum? It's at least a thousand years old!

Zeke scrutinized the door and the mechanism and concluded, "The lock isn't the only thing that's new. Even this door is new. It was probably installed just a few years ago."

Wolf's Greed scratched his head, "Darn, who would be so free to install a lock and a door here?"

Zeke explained, "Someone probably found the Spirit Stone mine before us, but it had not matured yet. Hence, they set up this stone door and password to protect the Spirit Stone mine. When the Spirit Stone mine matured, they would be able to reclaim it."

Wolf's Greed's fists tightened, "It's treason not to report the discovery of a Spirit Stone mine! That person had better pray hard that I didn't find him. Otherwise, he'd be a dead man."

If they had found the Spirit Stone mine earlier, Zeke could have attained King Class with the help of the Spirit Stone.

And they would not have ended up in this state.

Zeke inhaled sharply, "The fact that this man could identify this as a Spirit Stone mine and set up this mechanism without being found out shows that he's a force to be reckoned with."

Wolf's Greed suggested, "Zeke, can you try to hack the password?"

He knew that Zeke's hacking skills were top in the nation.

Yet Zeke shook his head, "This door is protected by the most advanced Wilson Security System. If we forcibly break it or attempt to hack it, it will automatically self-destruct. When that happens, the Spirit Stone mine, or even the entire mountain, would be destroyed."

So, what now?

Wolf's Greed concluded dejectedly, "Since we can't break it or open it, we can only watch as the Spirit Stone mine is right in front of us."

Zeke took a deep breath and replied, "If we can't open it, the enemy can't either. Perhaps this is the best way to protect the Spirit Stone mine. Let's preserve the current state. You guys surround the perimeter and don't let any suspicious person come close. In addition, announce to the world that the Great Marshal will be protecting the Spirit Stone mine himself. I will not be taking prisoners. Hopefully, word hasn't gotten out about my life force being damaged beyond repair."

Wolf's Greed suggested, "Zeke, why don't we sneak you back into the Cygnus Room to restore your life force? Since we're making an empty threat, it shouldn't matter whether you're physically here or not."

Zeke sighed. My life force has been irreversibly destroyed. Even the Cygnus Room won't be able to save me, unless... unless a miracle were to happen.
