Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2031

“What the hell? What a group of idiots. We're here to save them. Yet, not only do they not appreciate our effort, but they also suspect us. Zeke, these idiots don't deserve to live in this world. Let's not bother about them anymore.”

Zeke merely waved his hands. “It's normal for them to act like that. Besides, I have my own plans. You don't have to be involved anymore.”

“Okay then.” Sole Wolf sighed. “I don't want to waste my time getting angry at them, anyway.”

At the same time, Erwen went to Zeke's side and said, “You mentioned something about the Black Muraco Clan's leader just now. Are you saying that they're conquered by the devils that came here a while ago?”

Zeke nodded. “It's highly possible.”

Erwen deduced, “So, your motive for coming here is actually because of the Black Muraco Clan's devil?”

Zeke nodded.

Erwen went on, “Then... Do you mind if I ask you about your background?”

Zeke shook his head. “I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that now.”

If he revealed his identity as the Great Marshal, it could scare the people of the White Muraco Clan and even cause unnecessary panic.

Just then, Zeke's subconsciousness received an emergency calling from Progenitor.

His heart skipped a beat. Crap. Could something have happened to Progenitor?

He said hurriedly, “Go and rest in your rooms first. I have some matters to deal with.”

With that, he turned around and left without giving them the chance to ask any questions.

Not long after, he arrived at Melted Paradise.

He saw Progenitor fidgeting restlessly while making soft screeching sounds. No matter how hard Andres tried to calm it down, it changed nothing.

When Andres noticed Zeke's presence, he quickly got to his knees. “Greetings, Elder.”

“What happened?” Zeke asked.

“I'm not sure. Progenitor had been emotionally stable ever since it recovered. However, when it woke up from its sleep earlier, it started getting restless. It's as if... it senses danger. It's useless no matter how I try to calm it,” Andres answered.

Zeke gave a brief reply and approached Progenitor, trying his best to comfort it.

It was only then that Progenitor gradually calmed down.

Seeing the improvement, Zeke immediately communicated with it using his consciousness.

At such proximity, their communication was much clearer.

After communicating for some time, Zeke furrowed his brows.

Andres, who could not hold in his curiosity, asked, “Elder, what did Progenitor tell you?”

Zeke replied, “It said it had a dream just now, and it recalled who was the person who injured it.”

Intrigued, Andres asked again, “May I know who the criminal is ?”

“It's someone from the White Muraco Clan,” Zeke answered.

“What?” Andres' blood boiled, and he clenched his fists. “Da*n it! I can't believe there's a traitor among our clan members. No matter who the person is, I'm going to punish him with our clan's worst punishment.”

Zeke said, “Progenitor doesn't know who the person is. It only felt the presence of the White Muraco Clan on that person.”

“Huh?” Andres' heart sank. “Then this will not be easy. There are so many people in our clan. It won't be possible to expose the traitor.”

Zeke said, “Don't be rash. It's actually not that hard.”

This piqued Andres' interest. He looked at Zeke with raised eyebrows and asked, “May I know how you plan to do this?”

“The reason for the traitor to harm Progenitor is most likely that he was bought over by the Black Muraco Clan. I'm guessing his objective was to kill it. If that's the case, we shall beat him at his own game by telling the White Muraco Clan that Progenitor is dead. Then, the traitor will immediately inform the Black Muraco Clan about this. All we'll have to do is keep watch on the clan members to see who'll be sending the message to the other clan,” Zeke explained.

Andres smacked his head, amazed by Zeke's plan. “That's a great plan! Yes. Let's do that.”

Zeke answered, “Okay. You can reveal yourself tonight, too.”

“Okay!”

With that, they came to an agreement with each other.

Finally, the night came.

For an isolated little village like this, they rarely had any activities at night. Hence, after having a simple dinner, all of them got ready to go to bed.

However, before they could even enter their dreamland, the loud, clear sound of a bell rang in the village's air.
