Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2749 Spirit Pill

Alp shook his head. "No. I still have matters to attend to."

"Okay." Maulwurf nodded. "In that case, I'll be taking my leave now."

With that, he scampered away.

After he left their sights, Alp asked, "Don't you think he's suspicious, Scar Face?"

"Oh? What about him is suspicious?" Scar Face raised his eyebrow.

"I know Maulwurf quite well. In the past, whenever something big happened in our camp, he would sneak away in the direction of Camp Master's location. Our camp was attacked by wild beasts recently, and he did the same thing again. I suspect he's a spy planted in our camp by the Camp Master."

Knitting his eyebrows, Scar Face asked, "Are you sure, Alp?"

"I'm not entirely certain, but it's very likely."

"This information may be important to Commander Williams. Come, I'll take you to him to report this. If this intel is useful to him, I'm certain he'll reward you well. Let's go!"

Soon, they arrived at Zeke's room.

Zeke was already aggravated by the fire-seed situation. His mood plummeted when Scar Face and the others disturbed him.

His face was so dark that it flabbergasted them. We shouldn't have bothered him!

"So, what is it?" Zeke asked coldly.

"We discovered another one of Theos' spies, Mr. Williams. This new spy has something important to tell you," Scar Face replied.

Zeke glanced at Alp before nodding. "Speak."

Apprehensively, Alp spoke. "I suspect someone in our camp is a spy working under a Camp Master."

"Oh? Go on." That intrigued Zeke. I've never dealt with this "Camp Master" before. It's possible he knows something about the fire seed. Additionally, I think I'm powerful enough to threaten his position. There's no doubt I'm a thorn in his side right now, which is why he's targeting me. I suspect he's the one who lobbed the Heavenly Spirit Stones into my territory so the wild beasts would attack this place.

Alp hastily told him about Maulwurf.

In response, Zeke slammed his hand on his table. "Bring Maulwurf here alive."

He was concerned Maulwurf might commit suicide to prevent himself from revealing any secrets.

"Roger that!" Zeke's order delighted Alp because he could tell the former greatly valued his intel. He'll definitely reward me now!

As expected, Zeke continued, "If what you said is true, this information will benefit me. I'll be sure to reward you handsomely when the time comes."

"Thank you, Commander Williams!"

With that, the group headed to Maulwurf's place.

Since Maulwurf used to be a Centurion, he lived in a single room.

At that moment, he was researching the spirit pill in his home while looking forward to his future. I was stuck as a Centurion for a long while. I was so close to becoming a Legatus. Even after so many years, I couldn't get stronger. However, I got a good feeling that once I consume this spirit pill, I'll finally ascend to greater heights. Once I'm a Legatus, maybe Camp South Master will value me more, and I'll finally be able to work under him in Camp Master's district instead of here.

He clasped his hand with great force, crushing the spirit pill.

When the spiritual energy from the pill scattered in the air, he absorbed it greedily.
