Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2059

Cain nodded. “Yeah! He's the one. Mr. Lehman, I tried to talk him out of wiping out the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor, emphasizing that it will cause you to sustain a great loss. But he turned a deaf ear to me. He's seemingly giving no hoots to you. You must punish him severely for stepping on your toes...”

“Get out of my way!” Freddie bellowed before he could finish his words, sending him flying with a massive punch.

Right that instant, Cain could not resist but wail inwardly. D*mn it! Zeke Williams was the one who stepped on your toes, but why did you throw a punch at me instead?

Gritting his teeth, Freddie hissed, “Didn't I ever ask you earlier if I needed to step in and finish him off, so he won't spoil my plan? But you claimed that it's easy as pie for you to get rid of him. Thus, it never occurs to me that he will become a threat; yet, you are telling me that he has dominated the Black Muraco Clan and killed the Progenitor? D*mn it! My perfect plan turns into an absolute mess because of you!”

Cain tried to speak up for himself by all means. “Mr. Lehman, it's my fault undeniably. But it never crosses my mind that he has such unrivaled power! In fact, I have a feeling that he could be as mighty as you.”

Astounded, Freddie asked quizzically, “Huh? Is he a martial artist?”

Cain nodded again. “My gut instinct tells me that he must be one. Not to mention, he has gained a certain level of fame in the martial arts world.”

Clenching his fists, Freddie snorted. “Pfft! I don't give a d*mn who he is! I won't let anyone who has the audacity to spoil my plan off! Head for Village of Livestock with me now! Even though Progenitor is dead, the cursed parasitic worms in the villagers' bodies are still able to survive for another two days. Hence, we must try our best to extract them from their bodies within these two days. As long as we can get new hosts for them in time, they are still able to survive! No matter what, I won't let the cursed parasitic worms that I have cultivated painstakingly vanish! Let's go!”

Without hesitation, Freddie rushed toward Village of Livestock with Cain and the other two.

In the meantime, Zeke was also heading toward Village of Livestock with Erwen and Yazmin. He vowed to wipe out all the cursed parasitic worms in the villagers' bodies. If not, he foresaw Netherworld's power would be enhanced.

On the way to the village, Zeke questioned Erwen and Yazmin. “After the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor is dead, will the cursed parasitic worms inside the villagers' bodies be dead too?”

Erwen nodded. “Yes, it works that way theoretically. The cursed parasitic worms will gradually meet their ends within two days after the death of the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.”

After pondering for a while, Zeke commented, “Since there are still two days, I bet Netherworld will surely try to save the cursed parasitic worm. Thus, we must wipe them out before they make it there to do so! Erwen, if we eradicate them now, will the hosts be affected?”

Erwen explained resignedly, “Undeniably, there will be certain side effects. However, if we don't extract the cursed parasitic worms and let them be in the hosts' bodies, I'm afraid it will be more harmful to them.”

Zeke nodded approvingly. “All right. We'll proceed to wipe out the cursed parasitic worms. Do you have any milder method to do so in order to minimize the potential risks to the hosts?”

Yazmin suggested, “We can try to lure the cursed parasitic worms out from the hosts' bodies before eradicating them. I believe it's the best method with minimal side effects to the hosts.”

Zeke agreed with her at once. “Okay! Let's do that!”

Moments later, they reached Village of Livestock. Sadly, it seemed to be more deserted and broken than before.

Most of the villagers were slumping feebly by the roadside. If not for their slight movements at times, they looked exactly like lifeless bodies.

The moment they stepped into the village, there was a strong whiff of revolting stench. Subsequently, Erwen and Yazmin could not hold themselves back from coughing.

The villagers opened their eyes gradually when they heard them coughing.

Their eyes lit up when their respectable Holy Maiden came into sight. The next moment, they struggled to their feet and darted toward Erwen. Some of them who were too weak could only wriggle on the ground as they advanced toward her.

One of the villagers rushed over and knelt in front of her. “My respectable Holy Maiden, could you please give us some food? We have been starving for days!”

The other villagers wailed piteously, “Could you please give us some food for our kids? My child is dying of hunger...”

More and more villagers knelt in front of her, pleading sorrowfully, “Holy Maiden, please help us!”
