Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1989

There was an uproar among the villagers.

In the blink of an eye, half of them stood by Lucas' side, while the other half stood by Zeke's side.

With that, the crowd split themselves into two camps.

Ava advised the crowd that was on Lucas' side. “Even if you don't care about yourselves, please think about your children. Our children are even worse than dead now. It's better for us to let Divine Doctor cure our children. Since he said he came to rescue us, we're sure he has a way. If we stay here, I'm afraid all our children and we are going to die.”

“It's your choice if you want to wait and die here or grab this last chance to survive.”

Ava's words moved some of them.

Quite many of them stepped out of Lucas' camp and joined Zeke's side.

Da*n it!

Lucas was beyond exasperated. “Fine. So you've decided to go against Master. Wait and see. Master will kill all of you, including your children...”

Zeke ignored Lucas and turned to a bald man beside him. “Please bring me to see your children.”

The bald man responded with appreciation, “Okay, I'll take you right now. Thank you for saving us, Divine Doctor. If you can cure my children, I'll use my life to protect you forever...”

Zeke and his camp marched toward the bald man's house.

The crowd in Lucas' camp exchanged glances among themselves.

Lucas uttered, “Let's go and check it out. We'll surround them. After Master arrives, we will help him to defeat them. Master will give us credits by then, and our life will be improved! Let's go!”

Under Zeke's leading, his camp caught up with Lucas' camp.

A while later, they arrived at the bald man's house.

There were three kids in his house, one boy and two girls.

Zeke checked the eldest boy first, and all his symptoms showed that he had been poisoned.

However, his symptoms were not obvious, probably because the worms in his body had not fully grown.

Zeke forced a wave of energy into the boy's body and pushed the worms to his neck. The next second, the boy puked them out.

Those black worms were only the size of a mosquito and not fully grown.

After spitting the worms out, the boy still felt weak and strengthless, but a trace of color was finally seen on his face.

The bald man shed tears of joy upon seeing that.

All those present were left amazed witnessing this miracle.

As such, Zeke helped the other kid to cast out the worms.

At that moment, a fuss appeared outside the door, mixed with clashing sounds of metal.

Lucas' voice emerged, “It's Holy Maiden. She's here. Come on, let's welcome her.”

Zeke's side was dumbfounded. Ava rushed to the window to check it out. “Sh*t! It's Holy Maiden! She's brought an army and they are all armed.”

The crowd began to panic as they all shifted their gazes toward Zeke. “Divine Doctor, what should we do now?”

Naturally, they had put their hopes on Zeke.

Zeke waved his hand casually. “It's all right. Let's go out and meet them.”

Ava immediately reminded, “We should be careful. They're carrying the automatic weapon. Maybe we should talk to them from inside the house.”

Zeke comforted her. “Don't worry. No weapon in this world can harm me.”

The crowd was left bewildered by his boldness and arrogance.

How could a human body stand a bullet? He's only trying to comfort us.

The crowd would not want to see Zeke risking his life as they still needed him to save their children.

They all kept persuading him to stay in the house and let them go out and face Holy Maiden instead.
