Cain yelled, “Da*n you! If you dare spread the news about this, I'm going to destroy all your family graves.”
As soon as he finished his words, he disappeared from everyone's view.
Zeke then turned around, and his gaze landed on the White Muraco Clan.
Subconsciously, the villagers took a few steps back, staring at Zeke as though he were the devil.
They could not help but wonder how strong he could be when his subordinate was already that powerful.
Zeke uttered, “I'm sure all of you know what kind of situation you're in. The Black Muraco Clan has officially fallen out with you. Even if you take the initiative to surrender, they'll never let you go easily. And with your clan's current abilities, it's tough for you to fight against them. The possibility of getting wiped out is very high. The only thing you can do now is to join forces with me and fight against the Black Muraco Clan. I guarantee your clan will be safe. Please think carefully about this.”
The villagers exchanged glances, looking hesitant.
Right then, Erwen stepped out and said, “Folks, we've been bullied by the Black Muraco Clan for so many years. They made us slaves and trampled on our dignity. Do you really want to continue living such humiliating lives? Back then, we didn't have a choice but to submit to them. Now that someone is willing to help us turn things around, why aren't we seizing the opportunity? In fact, this could be our one and only chance. Besides, it hasn't been long since Mr. Williams' arrival, and yet he has helped us to take revenge on them. He even saved Mona's life. I believe Mr. Williams will definitely turn the situation around.”
Her words had touched many villagers' hearts.
Soon, they started responding, “I'm in.”
“Me too!”
“I've had enough of this shitty life serving the Black Muraco Clan.”
“We must eliminate the Black Muraco Clan and take my wife back!”
“Ever since my daughter was forced to marry into the Black Muraco Clan, her life has been a living hell. Now that there's a chance for me to bring her back, I must seize it.”
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the clan believed in Zeke and was willing to fight alongside him.
However, Jeremiah suddenly stepped forward and yelled, “Shut up, everyone! Quiet!”
His authority among the people was still quite powerful. As soon as he spoke, the crowd quietened.
He scoffed, “So you guys believe in Zeke now? Do you know what his motive is for coming to Muraco?”
The villagers shook their head.
Jeremiah continued, “See? You don't even know anything about him, yet you're letting him make the decisions. This is preposterous!”
Someone from the crowd refuted, “But he really does have the ability to stand up for our clan.”
“Are you sure he's sincere about standing up for the White Muraco Clan? Are you sure he's not working with the Black Muraco Clan to take control over us?” Jeremiah questioned.
What does he mean?
The villagers looked at him with confused expressions.
Jeremiah carried on, “First of all, this guy is powerful, and he even knows how to control poisonous worms. Hence, there's a high chance that he's a part of the Black Muraco Clan. This is because only the Black Muraco Clan members cultivate the skill of controlling worms and fighting skills, while we only cultivate the former. Besides, his family name is Williams. There's a powerful family in the Black Muraco Clan that has the same family name, right? Could this just be a coincidence? And most importantly, why would he want to help us? Don't you think his motives are very suspicious?”
Everyone immediately calmed down after hearing his words.
It's true. All the points Mr. Jeremiah said make him quite suspicious.
All the people who defended Zeke earlier had quietened.
After a brief pause, Jeremiah stated, “All right. All of you should go home for now. I'll discuss with the elders of our clan to come up with a plan. Once we have a decision, I'll inform all of you. Don't worry. I'll make sure to protect our clan's life force, even if it means having our elders beg the Black Muraco Clan for mercy or sacrifice our lives.”
With that, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Jeremiah, on the other hand, gave Zeke a glare before leaving.
Although Zeke did not say anything about the matter, Sole Wolf had already lost his patience.
