Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2033

What?

Andres' words left everyone thunderstruck, echoing in the White Muraco Clan members' minds.

Progenitor is dead!

Progenitor was all the worms' life force. If it died, their Life-Bound Worm would be dead soon.

Without the Life-Bound Worms, their people would die too.

The White Muraco Clan would probably be wiped out.

Immediately, the crowd went wild and a babble of voices broke out.

“Mr. Andres, who was the person who harmed Progenitor? That person is trying to wipe out our clan. We must not let the person go easily.”

“I think it's Zeke. Progenitor's death must've something to do with the newcomer, Zeke. Ever since his arrival, strange things have been happening to our clan, and everything is a mess. I bet Progenitor's death is part of his doing.”

“Mr. Andres, please give your orders to capture Zeke. We must make him pay with his life!”

Instantly, everyone began hurling accusations at Zeke.

Erwen and Yazmin were so nervous that they subconsciously placed Zeke behind them to protect him.

Thankfully, Andres waved his hand. “Progenitor was injured half a month ago, while Zeke had only appeared in our village a few days ago. Its death has nothing to do with him.”

Hearing that, everyone gradually calmed down.

Jeremiah said, “Mr. Andres, now that Progenitor is dead, what should we do? Without Progenitor, our clan will be wiped out, right?”

Sniffling sounds could be heard from the crowd.

“Don't worry, everyone. I'll do my best to cultivate another Progenitor. With the new Progenitor, everything will be back to normal for our clan,” Andres assured.

Jeremiah sighed. “I'm afraid things won't be the same for our clan, even if a new progenitor is cultivated. We've officially fallen out with the Black Muraco Clan, and they swore to wipe out our clan. And now, we can't even fend for ourselves—”

“I am aware of the situation. Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I promise you our clan will be fine. I'll personally contact the leader of the Black Muraco Clan and do my best to find a peaceful resolution for this. There's one more thing. The death of Progenitor is strictly confidential. This news must not be leaked to the public, especially the Black Muraco Clan. Anyone who dares to spread the word about it will be punished according to our rules. Okay. All of you may return to your houses now,” Andres said.

However, the crowd was reluctant to leave.

“Let's go,” Erwen said to Zeke, who responded with a nod and followed the girls out.

Both Erwen and Yazmin's moods were at rock bottom. What they were about to face was not just the end of their own lives, but also the end of the entire existence of the White Muraco Clan.

Yazmin queried, “Erwen, you're a knowledgeable person. Do you have any ideas on how to save Progenitor?”

Sadly, Erwen shook her head. “I don't know.”

“What if—just what if—I offer all three of my Soul Blood? Would that awaken Progenitor?”

Erwen shook her head again. “I'm not sure, but it should have some effect. Yazmin, why are you asking this? Please don't do anything stupid. Our Soul Blood is too weak. Nothing will change the situation even if we give Progenitor all of our Soul Blood. I bet only Mr. Andres' Soul Blood can awaken Progenitor.”

“Oh,” Yazmin answered absentmindedly.

When the girls returned to their rooms, Zeke secretly sneaked into Andres' house.

Andres greeted as he saw Zeke, “Hello, Elder.”

“Are all the men positioned?” Zeke asked.

Andres replied immediately, “Rest assured, Elder. I've arranged for over a dozen trusted subordinates to hide in every entrance of the village. We'll definitely catch the person once he heads off to inform the Black Muraco Clan about the news.”

Zeke answered, “Good, good. I'll go over to the other side to keep watch on Progenitor in case the traitor wants to confirm its death before reporting to the Black Muraco Clan. Then I'll be able to catch the enemy.”

“Sorry for troubling you, Elder. Actually, why don't I go over there to keep watch over Progenitor?” Andres suggested.

“No,” Zeke rejected determinedly. “You should stay here so that everyone knows you're in the room. Otherwise, I'm afraid the traitor won't dare to take any action.”
