Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2016

Yazmin was unconvinced. “Perhaps that's because Zeke is using similar herbs. We don't even know if it actually works.”

Swiftly, their gazes fell upon Zeke.

While Zeke was focused on brewing, the ladies felt attracted to him.

When Zeke was done, he poured it into a bowl and gave it to Erwen. “Erwen, drink it while it's hot.”

“Okay!” Erwen took the bowl and gulped it down.

After that, she shut her eyes and focused on how she felt.

Beside her, Yazmin was waiting impatiently. In the meantime, she noticed how Erwen's pale face was slowing turning pink. In fact, she looked a lot more energized. Does this mean it works?

A few seconds later, Erwen opened her eyes.

Yazmin asked anxiously, “How do you feel, Erwen?”

Erwen's voice trembled from excitement. “This is the real deal! This is indeed the Soul Blood Formula! I can feel it! I'm regaining my Soul Blood as we speak! At this rate, I'm sure it'd be perfect again within half a month.”

Yazmin was getting excited as well. “That means you'd still be Holy Maiden!”

Amidst the excitement, they were also filled with doubt and surprise. How did he learn about the Soul Blood Formula as it's the White Muraco Clan's forbidden secret?

Indeed, only the clan leader of the White Muraco Clan was supposed to know of it.

At that moment, Zeke's identity was getting more mysterious in their eyes.

Yazmin didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. “Tell us honestly, Zeke. Who are you? How did you come across the Soul Blood Formula? Do you know even Holy Maiden isn't allowed to know about it?”

“I've already told you before. Your grandmaster told me about it.”

The ladies were having none of it. They felt as though he was just blatantly lying. How could that be? Even if the White Muraco Clan's grandmaster is still alive, he'd be so old by now. How would Zeke know him? That's just impossible.

In response, Zeke didn't try to defend himself even when the ladies distrusted him.

Instead, he asked, “Erwen, are you sure you don't have the antidote for Heart Eater?”

“The Heart Eater is the greatest poison in the White Muraco Clan. It is used for the protection of the clan. Hence, only the clan leader would have the antidote. I don't even have the right to know anything about it,” Erwen replied candidly.

Seeing how Erwen looked incredibly calm, Zeke was convinced she didn't have the antidote.

Then, he took a pen and wrote down a list of herbs on a piece of paper and gave it to Yazmin. “Yazmin, could you help me gather these herbs?”

“What is this for?” Yazmin queried.

“The antidote for Heart Eater.”

“What?” The ladies were stunned once again. Does he know the formula to make the antidote for Heart Eater as well?

This time around, they weren't as doubtful toward Zeke anymore. Since he had proved himself with the Soul Blood Formula, they wouldn't be surprised if he actually had knowledge of the Heart Eater's antidote.

Yazmin took a look at the list and said, “I can easily get all the herbs here except for Ricalica. I have no idea how to get that.”

Little did she know, Zeke had anticipated that.

Ricalica was one of the ten rarest herbs there was. Muraco was the only place it could be found.

Even in Muraco, Ricalica was one of the most treasured herbs. It was understandable if Yazmin wasn't able to obtain it.

Back then, Zeke tried very hard to plant Ricalica at the herb plantation. However, all his efforts were to no avail.

“Please don't tell me you can't find any Ricalica in the whole of Muraco.” Zeke was not amused.

“I didn't mean that. All I'm saying is that Ricalica is regarded as the greatest herb here. Hence, it's only grown in Tier-3 Herb Zone. I'm only authorized to enter Tier-1 Herb Zone,” Yazmin explained.

A contemplative look crossed Zeke's face before he nodded. “Got it. I'm going out for a walk.”

“Where to?” Yazmin anxiously asked.

“Nowhere in particular.”

Yazmin and Erwen then exchanged a worrisome look.
