Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2025

Jeremiah nodded and answered, “That's right.

“I'll be honest with you, Erwen. He led a group of warriors from the Black Muraco Clan and barred the village entrance.

“They have sent their ultimatum. If we don't hand you and Zeke over, they will attack and burn everything down. They threatened to destroy the White Muraco Clan and claimed they will drive us to extinction.

“I'm sure you know the Black Muraco Clan has what it takes to do just that. That is why, for the sake of the White Muraco Clan, you must take Zeke over and surrender to them.”

Erwen's heart gripped once more. The situation was worse than she imagined.

Still, she didn't show anyone how she felt. “Mr. Jeremiah, there is no need for you to worry about that. I will talk to Cain in person and deal with the issue later.

“Everyone should head home now for there is no need to create a mess.”

Sigh!

Jeremiah sighed and replied, “Erwen, let's put a stop to all this nonsense. Don't make a fool out of yourself in front of everybody, okay?

“I know you will flee the place with Zeke as soon as we go home. After that, we will be left behind and clean up your mess after that.

“I will take you and Zeke to the Black Muraco Clan today. If you refuse to comply... Well, just don't blame us for being cruel.”

Oh my gosh, this is hilarious.

Zeke, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly spoke up. In a sarcastic tone, he said, “Wow, a group of powerful men is sacrificing a young lady to save themselves... How noble of you.”

Shut up!

Jeremiah got agitated and refuted, “You have no right to say anything or share your opinion. You're the reason we're in this mess, so you must pay for it!

“I'm warning you. You better surrender quietly to the Black Muraco Clan. If you don't, we will kill you and present your severed head to the Black Muraco Clan to beg for their forgiveness.”

Haha, this is fun!

Sole Wolf stepped up and challenged, “Oh, getting violent, are we? Well, bring it on.

“It's been so long since I fought to my heart's content. Ah, I'm so glad that I can flex my muscles today!”

His bloodlust and aggressive style revealed itself right away.

Zeke immediately ordered, “Sole Wolf, you are not to attack without my orders.”

If that guy starts throwing punches, everyone here will either die or become a cripple! Zeke was the elder at that moment, and he would need the White Muraco Clan's help to defeat the Black Muraco Clan. Hence, he didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Sole Wolf, however, was irritated with that order. He complained, “Zeke, you can't hog the glory like this. You should at least give me a shot at being the hero!”

Zeke glared over and replied, “My order remains.”

Sole Wolf seemed a little angry when he glared at Zeke. However, the former didn't have the guts to further complain, so he politely murmured a simple affirmative response.

Jeremiah chuckled. “I know you're a powerful fighter, Zeke Williams, but do you really think we'd solve this problem with our fists?

“Only barbarians would do something like that.

“Today, I will use our Life-Bound Worm to attack you. Boys, get in position.”

The villagers began working as soon as Jeremiah finished talking.

They formed teams of five and stood in the right position to have the entire place surrounded.

Seeing that troubled Erwen. She could no longer hide her worry, and horror bubbled to her face.

“A-Are you in the Myriad Worm Formation?”

Jeremiah replied, “That's right.

“You are one of us, Erwen, so I'm sure you know just how powerful this formation is. No one will survive once we activate it.

“You know what you should do now, right?”

Erwen reprimanded, “Mr. Jeremiah, this formation is banned, and only our clan leader can authorize one to be formed.

“How can you take matters into your own hands and set it up without permission? Aren't you worried about the clan leader putting the blame on you?”

Jeremiah replied, “This is a unique situation. The clan leader is not here, and you have conspired with an outsider to go against the White Muraco Clan. Hence, you are no longer worthy of the position of Holy Maiden, and that means I am the interim boss now. Thus, I can definitely authorize using this formation on behalf of the clan leader.

“Besides, I don't care about the potential punishment. If it means the White Muraco Clan will be protected, then I will gladly accept any punishment.

Erwen tilted her head down. At that moment, she knew that she wouldn't be able to get out of that sticky situation unscathed.
