Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2053

Zeke went forward and stepped on Progenitor of the Black Muraco Clan. “Now, I shall announce your judgment. The Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor committed evil deeds and killed innocent lives. You are to self-destruct right this second!”

“No...” Before Cain could finish his sentence, his Progenitor had already taken its life.

Its armor broke into bits and pierced through several wooden buildings nearby.

The self-destruction of the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor had destroyed the confidence of their people.

They were terrified out of their wits, for Progenitor's death would lead to their doom.

What should we do?

The people from the Black Muraco Clan panicked and burst into tears.

“Oh, no. We're doomed!”

“What should we do? Without Progenitor, our clan will be wiped out!”

“Your Highness, save me. I don't want to die yet...”

They gazed at Cain earnestly.

Alas, Cain was in greater despair. He was on the verge of breaking down.

Without Progenitor, he was almost useless for no amount of power would be of help.

It's all Zeke's fault. I want to rip him apart!

The White Muraco Clan was in chaos, too.

“We pledged allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor. As it had died, we would be...”

“Oh, are the heavens going to exterminate us?”

“Don't be a fool. Look, our Progenitor is still alive. We can pledge allegiance to it!”

“Oh, yes. How could I have forgotten about that? Ha! The White Muraco Clan has always been kind, so the heavens had spared our lives.”

“Mr. Andres, there is hope for us. Hurry, let us pledge our allegiance.”

Andres nodded. “Form a line and take turns to pledge allegiance to the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor.”

Seeing that, the people of the Black Muraco Clan began discussing among themselves.

“Now that our Progenitor is dead, it's impossible to raise another Progenitor.”

“Why don't we pledge allegiance to Progenitor of the White Muraco Clan?”

“Well, that's the only way.”

They turned to Andres and asked, “Mr. Andres, we want to pledge allegiance to the White Muraco Clan. Please allow us to do so.”

Andres paid no heed to them.

The elder of White Muraco Clan is here. I dare not take things into my own hands, for I have to listen to his orders.

Cain was close to exploding in rage.

The sight of his people switching camp before him was too much to bear.

He barked, “Get the h*ll over here! How dare you betray our ancestors? If they find out about it, they will never forgive you!”

His people merely gazed at him calmly. “Your Highness, we have no other choice. If you are capable of saving us, we will support you for sure. Now that Progenitor is dead, do you have a way to protect us?”

“I... I...” Cain was at a loss for words.

He wasn't capable enough of raising another Progenitor. It meant that he was powerless and couldn't even protect himself.

“There must be a way. There must be another choice...” Cain refused to give up.

His people ignored him, for it was clearly an empty promise.

No one was silly enough to trust him.

Instead, they proceeded to bawl even louder and even groveled at Andres' feet.

“Please, Mr. Andres. Please take us in.”

“We might've wronged you previously, but we had no other choice. It was Cain who forced us to go against our wishes.”

“Even if you refuse to forgive us, our children are innocent. Please allow the children to pledge allegiance to Progenitor of the White Muraco Clan.”

Andres couldn't help but sympathize with their plight.

He turned to Zeke to get his opinion.
