Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 2682

Southern King let out a hearty laugh and said, “Well done! I like that arrogance! Other than Camp South's Master, you're the only one who dares to demand that I get down on my knees! I'll grant you your wish! Here you go!”

With that, Southern King kicked the guard in the stomach and sent him flying toward Sole Wolf.

Sole Wolf immediately reached out and effortlessly caught the guard.

However, that kick gravely injured the guard and caused him to throw up blood again.

Sole Wolf turned to his men and ordered, “Call for help immediately and get him treated.”

“Okay!” Right away, Draco sent out instructions for the medical team to attend to the guard.

At the same time, he whispered into Sole Wolf's ear and said, “This guy is the commander of the Southern Faction's Legions. He is very powerful and definitely not a pushover.”

“Even ten of me may not be his match. Maybe we should get Mr. Williams to deal with him,” Draco added.

Sole Wolf snorted in disbelief and dissed, “Southern King, my foot! To me, he's but an overrated guy. You stay out of this! I can crush him with a finger.”

Draco made a face, as he doubted Sole Wolf and thought he was being overconfident.

Unconvinced by Sole Wolf's assurance, he looked toward Phoenix for help.

Phoenix understood his silent plea and quietly left the scene to look for Zeke.

After all, Phoenix was the only one in the entire city who would dare to bother Zeke.

Next, Sole Wolf could be heard sighing regretfully and saying, “Gosh! I said release him, not send him flying back! Also, what about getting on your knees to apologize? People who don't pay attention need to be taught a lesson.”

“From your attitude, it looks like you're Zeke, the new commander of the Centurias,” Southern King concluded.

“Of course not! We don't need to trouble Zeke. You should be honored I bothered to lift my finger to deal with you.” Sole Wolf's retort came fast and sharp.

Annoyed, Southern King yelled, “You arrogant punk! Tell Zeke to get his ass out here right now! I have a score to settle with him!”

“I'll remember you for those insults you hurled against Zeke. But before we go into that, maybe you can tell us what grudges you have against Zeke?” Sole Wolf asked.

Southern King snorted and said, “You guys killed Speedy. How are you going to make up for that?”

“Speedy bullied our guards, so I paid him back with interest. An eye for an eye, so no one can fault us for that. But we did not kill him. Well, at least he was alive when he left from here,” Sole Wolf replied.

Southern King did not buy that. “Earlier, your men confirmed that you killed Speedy, and now you deny it. How do you expect me to believe you?”

“Who admitted to killing Speedy?” Sole Wolf frowned and asked, puzzled.

Draco quickly stepped in and said, “I can vouch that Speedy wasn't killed by us, Southern Master! We punished him and then let him go.”

“I also witnessed Speedy leaving this place without any fatal injuries,” Golden Cicada added.

The fury in Southern King's eyes intensified when he saw Draco and Golden Cicada.

The two of them used to follow him around and fawn over him endlessly. His wish was their command, and they behaved in a servile manner toward him.

He was infuriated that even such bootlickers betrayed him.

However, as the two spoke with much sincerity, he wavered and began to think that the Centurias might really have nothing to do with Speedy's death.

Could it be the Northern Faction is trying to frame them so as to cause conflict between me and the Centurias?

Southern King began to suspect Johnny and threw a doubtful glance in his direction. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Johnny was prepared for that scenario.

He lifted his head slightly and glanced at the spy he had planted among the Centuria guards.

That spy caught Johnny's eye and got the signal. He began to slowly turn his fist toward the direction of Southern King.

He had a stealth weapon in his hand. Once Johnny gave him the signal, he immediately aimed it at Southern King and launched it.

Instantly, a poisonous silver needle shot at high speed toward Southern King.

Being a high-level King Class warrior, Southern King had a lightning-fast reaction, and he managed to intercept the silver needle just before it pierced into his temple.

It was a close shave, and even the mighty Southern King could feel his heart involuntarily racing.
