Peter clenched his jaw. “Of course not. What else can I do though? Both clans won't take us in now.”
He was furious at Jeremiah's doing.
It was all the old bugger's fault! He's the reason I ended up in this state. Otherwise, I would still be part of my clan and get to terrorize the Black Muraco Clan people.
He was mad at Jeremiah for ruining his future.
Jeremiah scoffed. “Ha! Do you think they will accept us? Nonsense.”
Peter was confused. “Mr. Jeremiah, what do you mean?”
“I have a plan. We can rise through the ranks and control both the Black Muraco Clan and the White Muraco Clan. Even all the forces in Eurasia will be under our control!” Jeremiah announced.
“That's impossible,” Peter blurted out in disbelief.
Jeremiah told him, “Nothing is impossible. It all boils down to our courage. You should know that there are a few immortals in the Black Muraco Clan.”
Hearing that, Peter lit up.
“You mean those devils?”
He knew what Jeremiah had in mind.
The Netherworld members were known as “devils” to the White Muraco Clan, but “immortals” to the Black Muraco Clan.
Jeremiah snickered. “Devils? They are immortals to us—immortals who can help us win the fight!”
Peter laughed along with him. “Mr. Jeremiah, I know what your plan is.”
Jeremiah said, “Oh? Say it then.”
“Your plan must be related to Village of Livestock,” Peter said.
“The devils... No, the immortals wasted a lot of effort planting cursed parasitic worms on the villagers of Village of Livestock. Right before the cursed parasitic worms could mature, Zeke destroyed the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor. The cursed parasitic worms in Village of Livestock had pledged allegiance to Progenitor, so they would die along with it. The immortals wouldn't let the matter slip. They would teach Zeke a lesson!”
Jeremiah nodded. “That's right. We can use the immortals to get rid of Zeke. By then, both the Black Muraco Clan and the White Muraco Clan will belong to us!”
Peter inquired, “Mr. Jeremiah, can you find the immortals?”
Jeremiah shook his head. “No. I've never seen them before, so I don't know how to contact them.”
Grimacing, Peter asked, “Then how should we ask for their help?”
“Go to Cain, of course. His clan had defected, so he'll definitely ask for the immortals' help. We should go after him. I'm pretty sure he's just nearby. Let's go,” Jeremiah revealed.
They increased speed and headed after Cain.
Jeremiah was right, for Cain hadn't gone far. They soon ran into him.
Since Sole Wolf broke his leg earlier, Cain escaped through sheer force of will. Thus, he couldn't go far.
He immediately tensed up at the sight of Peter and Jeremiah.
They must be here to kill me so Andres will forgive them for their sins!
“S-Stop right there!” he stammered. “Even if the entire Black Muraco Clan had pledged allegiance to the White Muraco Clan, the immortals will help me. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'm certain that the immortal clan will wipe your clan out of existence!”
Jeremiah explained, “Your Highness, you're mistaken. We're here to join forces with you.”
Oh?
Cain shot them a curious look. Their expressions were sincere, and it didn't seem like they were lying.
He inquired, “Why do you want to join forces with me instead of pledging loyalty to the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor like the rest?”
Both Jeremiah and Peter bristled upon hearing his words.
