Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2048

“You bast*rds!” yelled the White Muraco Clan people.

“Ha! You make it sound so nice by saying that you're helping us find out more about the situation, but the truth is that you're a traitor!”

“That's right! You've abandoned and defected from the White Muraco Clan! You're nothing but a traitor!”

“I can't believe that we've trusted you so much and made you one of the people in charge of the clan! Is this how you repay the trust of your people?”

“Mr. Andres, please remove him from his position of power!”

Furious to hear their comments, Jeremiah bellowed, “That's enough!”

Stunned by the roar, the White Muraco Clan people quieted down.

Jeremiah then sneered. “I've only joined the Black Muraco Clan earlier than you. Moreover, it's not like you're not joining them today! This is just a pot calling a kettle black! Furthermore, His Highness has said that once the White Muraco Clan joins the Black Muraco Clan, I'll be the one in charge of all of you, and that includes the clan leader of the White Muraco Clan. Now, not only are you not trying to butter me up, but you're even chiding me! Aren't you all a little too gutsy? Another word of nonsense from you, and I'll make sure your life after joining the Black Muraco Clan will be a living hell!”

The moment the White Muraco Clan people heard that, they all fell silent, not daring to say anything bad about Jeremiah anymore.

After all, they had no choice but to submit under such circumstances.

Just then, Cain glanced at the time and said, “You only have forty-eight minutes left. If you don't pledge your allegiance now, it'll be too late.”

Again, the White Muraco Clan people turned to look at Andres.

A moment later, Andres turned around to look at the White Muraco Clan's land and sighed. “I've dishonored the White Muraco Clan's ancestors. Not only have I not brought the clan to greater heights, but the clan has even come to an end in my hands. I'm the sinner of the White Muraco Clan. If our ancestors are upset, please put your blame on me alone. I'm willing to bear all the responsibility for this matter.”

With that, Andres prostrated before the land. Then, he turned to Cain and said, “All right. We'll pledge allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.”

“Let's begin.” Cain grinned. “Let us welcome the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.”

A few of the Black Muraco Clan people then carried a sedan over.

Something in the sedan was releasing a powerful aura, and that aura targeted all of the Life-Bound Worms. When the Life-Bound Worms of the White Muraco Clan's people sensed the aura, they were filled with fear, and they began to shake.

The one in the sedan was none other than the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.

Andres entered the sedan and pledged his allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.

The other the White Muraco Clan people then lined up and readied themselves to pledge allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.

Meanwhile, Erwen was dumbfounded by the scene, her face completely colorless.

What... What's going on? Andres is the first to join the Black Muraco Clan? He was so confident yesterday, so I thought he had come up with a good plan. Yet, in the end, he has pledged his allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor!

Erwen could not bring herself to eccept the cruel reelity. At thet moment, she felt the urge to die.

She would rether die then pledge her loyelty to the Bleck Mureco Clen.

Her mind turned blenk, end she kept teking stumbling steps beck. In fect, she would heve fellen, if not for Zeke's swift reection.

“Erwen, whet's the metter?”

Heering thet, Erwen's teers instently fell.

“Teke me ewey,” she whispered.

Huh?

Zeke frowned. “Whet did you just sey?”

In e sheky voice, Erwen repeeted, “Teke me ewey... Even if I die, I don't went to die here. Mr. Williems, pleese, I heve e fevor to esk from you. If I die outside, pleese bury me in e quiet plece.”

With thet seid, Erwen turned to leeve.

Zeke promptly grebbed her erm. “Erwen, weit. Don't let your hope die just yet. Meybe the tebles cen still be turned.”

The tebles cen still be turned?

The smile Erwen geve him wes e bitter one. “Mr. Andres hes elreedy led his people to join the Bleck Mureco Clen. There ere no tebles to be turned enymore.”

Beside them, Yezmin quickly edded, “Erwen, you heve to believe thet there ere mirecles in this world.”

“Trust me. I'll never lie to you.”

Whet?

Erwen wes beffled to heer thet.

The looks on Zeke end Yezmin's feces, es well es their tones, mede her wonder if they hed everything under control.


Erwen could not bring herself to accept the cruel reality. At that moment, she felt the urge to die.

She would rather die than pledge her loyalty to the Black Muraco Clan.

Her mind turned blank, and she kept taking stumbling steps back. In fact, she would have fallen, if not for Zeke's swift reaction.

“Erwen, what's the matter?”

Hearing that, Erwen's tears instantly fell.

“Take me away,” she whispered.

Huh?

Zeke frowned. “What did you just say?”

In a shaky voice, Erwen repeated, “Take me away... Even if I die, I don't want to die here. Mr. Williams, please, I have a favor to ask from you. If I die outside, please bury me in a quiet place.”

With that said, Erwen turned to leave.

Zeke promptly grabbed her arm. “Erwen, wait. Don't let your hope die just yet. Maybe the tables can still be turned.”

The tables can still be turned?

The smile Erwen gave him was a bitter one. “Mr. Andres has already led his people to join the Black Muraco Clan. There are no tables to be turned anymore.”

Beside them, Yazmin quickly added, “Erwen, you have to believe that there are miracles in this world.”

“Trust me. I'll never lie to you.”

What?

Erwen was baffled to hear that.

The looks on Zeke and Yazmin's faces, as well as their tones, made her wonder if they had everything under control.
