Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2035

Why do I feel like there's something familiar about this person?

Nonetheless, Zeke did not act impulsively and merely watched from his hiding place, curious to see what the person would do next.

The figure in black stood in front of Progenitor, got to her knees, and bowed three times.

Then, she got up and walked toward Progenitor.

Zeke's body tensed, ready to rush out and stop her if it looked like she was about to harm Progenitor.

But instead of trying to harm it, she merely raised her hand and hit her chest hard.

She opened her mouth and spat out one of her Soul Bloods, then fed it carefully to Progenitor.

As she did that, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it. If I had any inkling it would end up like this, I... I'd rather be the one to die than you. Don’t worry. I’ll give you all three of my Soul Bloods today. Hopefully, that'll be enough to cure you. And if it doesn't... I’ll die with you. A life for a life.”

As soon as Zeke heard her voice, his heart lurched.

Yazmin! That's Yazmin's voice! D*mn it! How could it be her? Why is she the traitor? It can't be. It must be a coincidence. Maybe it's just someone who sounds a little like her.

Even though Zeke kept reassuring himself that it was not Yazmin, he knew he was merely deceiving himself.

Seeing that she was about to cough up her second Soul Blood, Zeke rushed over at once.

“Stop!”

Someone's here!

The realization struck her like a ton of bricks, and she fled at once without hesitation.

However, Zeke released a burst of energy and stopped her in her tracks.

Unable to move at all, Yazmin turned toward the sound behind her with fear in her eyes.

A look of utter helplessness crossed her face when she saw Zeke emerge from the darkness.

“Mr. Williams, it's you... Why are you here?” she asked weakly.

Zeke strode over and pulled the mask off her face.

The moment he saw with his own eyes that it was Yazmin under the mask, thus confirming that she was the traitor, he felt a pang in his heart.

“Why are you here?” Zeke asked in disbelief.

Yazmin's cries filled the air as she wailed, “I'm sorry! I deserve to die! It's all my fault! I... I'm willing to die to atone for what I did!”

Wanting to end her life, she tried to move. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not budge an inch.

“What's going on? Why can't I move?”

Zeke withdrew his energy and said, “Tell me everything, Yazmin. I know you must have a good reason for what you did, right?

As soon as the energy around her was gone, Yazmin collapsed onto the floor and burst into loud sobs.

Progenitor was startled awake by the sound, and its scream of frustration immediately resounded within Zeke’s mind.

You really know how to drive me up the wall! I'll have you know that the White Muraco Clan's elders cultivated me with much care. I'm a distinguished figure within the clan who commands great respect. No one dares to mock me, but you're so bold as to insult me repeatedly! You slapped me so that I'd faint! What you've done is unforgivable! Why are you just standing there? Get on your knees and prepare to receive your punishment!

Zeke shot Progenitor a warning glare. If you continue with your nonsense, I’ll slice off your tongue.

Progenitor: You dare to threaten me! Insolence! You've landed yourself in deeper trouble! Just you wait. I’ll use Myriad Worm Formation to devour you! Huh? Wait a minute... This aura feels familiar. Hurry! She's the woman who stabbed me that night! Seize her! She must be punished! She attacked me! What she did was unforgivable! We must exterminate her and her entire family!

Zeke's patience evaporated. I told you to shut up! Didn't you hear me?

Progenitor was indignant. No way! Why should I? I want to end our master-servant relationship right now!

At the end of his wits, Zeke marched toward Progenitor angrily.

It cowered at once, guessing what Zeke had in mind.

He's going to slap me again so that I faint. I'm sure of it!

The Progenitor could not stop itself from retreating as it eyed Zeke's tightly clenched fist, and its voice began to tremble. Okay, okay... I... I'll shut up. I won't say another word.
