Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2022

Zeke asked, “Wait, how do you know that bite isn't hostile? What if it never meant to take me as its master and was only biting me to hurt me?”

Andres replied, “When the Progenitor accepts someone as its master, it would communicate with its master via telepathy.

“You can try communicating with the Progenitor via thoughts. If I'm right, you should be able to hear its thoughts.”

Zeke was instantly intrigued. He immediately tried to communicate with the worm.

As promised, he heard a response.

A girl's baby voice popped up in Zeke's mind. “Thank you, Master.”

It seemed that Progenitor had already grown to be a spiritual beast and could communicate with mankind.

That trait was similar to Tiger Lord.

Zeke turned to Andres and asked, “The Black Muraco Clan is battling the White Muraco Clan, and your clan is in danger. What will you do about it?”

Andres gritted his teeth and said, “We will never bow down to the Black Muraco Clan. I, Andres Muraco, will fight until my last breath, and our clan will fight, even if only one of us is left.”

Zeke dissed, “Seriously? You are drained and ridiculously weak now, so how are you going to fight the Black Muraco Clan?”

Uh...

Andres sighed.

Yeah, he's right. For now, I am too weak and no better than a cripple. There is no way I can fight against the Black Muraco Clan in this state.

Zeke tapped his shoulder to offer some comfort, then said, “Stay here and rest well. Just leave everything to me. I am the elder now, so naturally, I have an obligation to help everyone.”

Andres was ecstatic to hear that. He went down on his knees and said, “Thank you. Thank you for your help. The clan and I shall be eternally grateful for it.”

Zeke requested, “By the way, do you have some Ricalica with you? If so, please get one for me.

“Also, I'll need to use the Melted Paradise herb plantation for a while. It's alright if I grow some rare plants there, right?”

The White Muraco Clan discovered and owned the Melted Paradise herb plantation. Hence, it wasn't appropriate for Zeke to use his title as the Great Marshal to gain access to it. That would just be barbaric and was unfair to the White Muraco Clan.

That was why Zeke requested the use of that herb plantation as an elder instead.

In a way, the plantation was one of the reasons why Zeke agreed to be an elder of the White Muraco Clan.

Oh, you're helping us deal with the Black Muraco clan, so that is no trouble at all, thought Andres.

He was quick to agree. “Of course it's alright. You are the elder of the White Muraco Clan, so that herb plantation belongs to you, anyway.”

Zeke replied, “Alright, then go grab a stalk of Ricalica for me.”

Andres cautiously asked, “Err... Elder, may I ask a question? Ricalica's only use is to create the cure for Heart Eater. Did our clan members poison you?”

Zeke replied, “No, my subordinate is the one who is poisoned. I need Ricalica to create an antidote for him.”

Andres offered, “The cure for Heart Eater must be prepared using a unique and troublesome method. Should I prepare it in your stead?”

Zeke shook his head and replied, “There's no need for that. I can do it on my own.”

Oh well, I tried.

Andres swayed and walked to the deeper sections of the herb plantation. He returned soon after with a stalk of very healthy-looking Ricalica.

“Elder, this is Ricalica you asked for. Please keep it safe.”

Zeke accepted Ricalica and tossed a red pill over in return.

“This will help you recover. Take it as soon as you can.”

Andres replied, “Thank you, Elder.”

Zeke didn't say much else. He simply turned around and left with the stalk of Ricalica.

Andres, on the other hand, stared as Zeke walked away. The former's eyes slowly became watery.

“The White Muraco Clan has seen hope now. We'll be safe. Thank the heavens for this.”

Zeke walked all the way back to his room.

He had just gotten close when he heard Sole Wolf's agonizing scream.

“Oh sh*t, it hurts. Gah, my heart is being torn apart.

“What the f*ck? Which a*shole came up with the idea to set up a trap using Heart Eater? Have that j*rk show up right now. I will kick his a*s.

“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! If I survive this, I will freaking kill all the d*mn worms in the entire world. This is just too much!”

Zeke's expression stiffened ever so slightly, and he rushed into the room.

Inside, the almighty Sole Wolf had turned into a cuss-hurling machine and was rolling on the floor while in pain.

He shattered every smashable item in the room and made a huge mess.

That showed just how much it hurt when Heart Eater was active. Even an Ultimate Class warrior was in so much pain that he was cursing.

Both Erwen and Yazmin panicked when they saw that.
