Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2060

Erwen furrowed her brows. What's the matter with them? Regardless of how hungry they were previously, they had never pleaded with me to offer them food!

All of a sudden, she heard someone saying among the crowd, “We haven't eaten anything for three days!”

She tried to appease them at once. “Silent, please! So all of you haven't eaten anything for three days?”

The villagers nodded hastily. “Yeah! It has been three days!”

Erwen asked again in bafflement, “Do you mean to say that nobody has sent you any food for the past three days?”

They nodded again. “Yes, there's nothing!”

D*mn it! Erwen could not help but cuss inwardly.

Peter used to be the one sending food to Village of Livestock for the villagers. She presumed he had stopped doing so ever since news of Progenitor's death was spread. Hmph! He must have run for his life, paying no heed to the villagers!

Meanwhile, Zeke tried to reassure the villagers by telling them, “All right. Everyone, please get up now. We're here to rescue you. We'll cure your children and send all of you out. By then, you'll regain your freedom.”

The moment he opened his mouth, all the villagers' eyes were on him. What's going on? How's it possible for this man to stay alive and stand alongside Holy Maiden?

They recalled how Zeke had threatened to kill their Holy Maiden previously. Thus, they could not fathom why she let him off the hook.

Lucas rebuked Zeke oppressively, “What the f*ck! How could you still stay alive? Where's my wife? Did you abduct her? Send her back to me now! Otherwise, I won't let you off!”

Earlier on, Zeke had assigned someone to bring Ava to Village of White Muraco Clan, fearing that Lucas would put her in a tight spot again.

Yazmin reprimanded Lucas in an instant, “Shut up and mind your manners! Who do you think you are to be so rude to our elder? You must be asking for trouble!”

W-What? Thunderstruck, all the villagers turned to fix their gaze on Zeke in utter disbelief.

Are we hearing things? Holy Maiden's subordinate addresses him as their elder? How is it possible for him to become the elder of Muraco? Isn't he an ordinary person in Village of Livestock, just like everyone here? Nonplussed, the villagers were at a loss for words.

Glaring at Zeke, Lucas kept mumbling, “It's impossible! He must be bluffing! All of you've fallen into his trap! He's a liar...”

Before he could finish his words, a figure descended from the sky and bumped into him.

Within seconds, Lucas passed out with half of his body buried in the ground. He did not even have the chance to make a single sound!

Surprisingly, the figure turned out to be Sole Wolf, General North.

The sudden twist scared the wit out of the villagers. They shuddered in fear and did not dare to utter any words again.

To vent his anger, Sole Wolf stomped twice on Lucas and lambasted, “D*mn it! How could you be disrespectful of Zeke! You asked for it!”

Zeke rectified the situation by asking him, “Sole Wolf, didn't I assign you to be on Cain's tail? Why are you here?”

Sole Wolf explained hurriedly, “Zeke, I've been following closely behind him and found out that he met up with someone from Netherworld. At the moment, they are on the way here for the sake of the cursed parasitic worms in the villagers' bodies!”

Ah! In an instant, alarm bells went off in Zeke's mind.

He instructed immediately, “Erwen, Yazmin, wipe out the cursed parasitic worms in their bodies soonest possible! By hook or by crook, we mustn't let those from Netherworld obtain them!

“Noted!” Erwen and Yazmin geared up for their mission.

Erwen instructed the villagers, “Everyone, bring your children out and line up here. I'm going to give them treatment. After they are cured, you'll be able to regain your freedom and leave this place.”

What? Holy Maiden is going to treat our children's illness and even free us from this horrible place? The villagers checked with Erwen repeatedly, thinking that they must be hearing things.

“You didn't hear wrongly. I'm going to cure your children and help you leave this place.” Erwen tried to convince them.

All of them were relieved and kept thanking her in snots and tears.
