Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2061

“Holy Maiden, thank you so much! You're indeed our benefactor.”

“There's nothing we can do to repay your kindness...”

“Boo... hoo... Our torture is finally coming to an end! We haven't left this horrible place ever since my child was born...”

“After we get out of this horrible place, I'm going to bring my child to travel around the world. I wish to let him explore the beauty of the world!”

Erwen shook her head and cast a look on Zeke. “You don't have to thank me. Actually, my elder is the one who saves your lives!”

A surge of inexplicable complex emotions started to well up from within the villagers. Initially, they presumed Zeke was worthless like all of them in Village of Livestock. Thus, they always picked on him with oppressive mockery.

Unexpectedly, he turned into their mighty live savior despite how they had been humiliating him all this while! Thus, they turned to kneel at him, thanking him earnestly.

Even Lucas, who crossed swords with Zeke previously, swallowed his pride and kept slapping his own face. “Elder, it's my fault. I shouldn't have offended you earlier. I-I'm a sc*mbag! I shouldn't have gotten on your nerves. I was indeed shooting myself in the foot! Oh! Elder, please forgive me and let me off the hook this round...”

At the same time, Erwen urged the villagers to bring their children out soonest possible.

The villagers dispersed at once and were back again with their children one by one after a while.

As they had not eaten anything for the past three days, the pitiful children were as weak as kittens.

Without hesitation, Erwen and Yazmin started getting rid of the cursed parasitic worms in their bodies.

On the other hand, Zeke led Sole Wolf to stand guard at the main entrance of Village of Livestock.

Zeke asked him, “Sole Wolf, did you manage to find out anything about Netherworld's strategy here?”

Sole Wolf shook his head. “No, Zeke. I only saw one of them from Netherworld. I bet the others from Netherworld could be hiding among the vast bamboo forest. Anyway, I did not investigate further, fearing that I might alert them if they happen to set up any traps there.”

Zeke nodded approvingly. “Yeah! You have a point. After we get rid of this fellow from Netherworld later, let's head for Netherworld to get to the bottom of the matter.”

“Oh yeah! Zeke, Ares, Nameless, and the others have reached too. At the moment, they're hiding somewhere outside on stand-by. Do you think we need to ask them to give us a hand here?” Sole Wolf asked again as something came into his mind.

Nonetheless, Zeke waved and replied placidly, “Just let them be. Make sure none of our foes will be able to slip away.”

Sole Wolf replied respectfully, “Noted. I will relay your message now.”

After half an hour later, four tiny black dots could be seen speeding toward them from a far distance away.

Zeke could finally make out their face when they were getting closer.

The four figures turned out to be Freddie leading Cain, Jeremiah, and Peter to Village of Livestock.

Zeke could sense Freddie's negative energy even from a distance away.

He could not help but feel a prickle of disappointment. “I expect Daemonium or Warren will come to get the matter resolved. Too bad they only assign a small fry!”

Temper flaring, Sole Wolf rebuked, “D*mn it! His negative energy is too weak! I bet he must be a nobody in Netherworld. Pfft! Those from Netherworld must be looking down on us. That's why they assign such a worthless fellow to battle against us! We must teach them a lesson later!”

After a while, Freddie and the others came to a halt about ten meters away from Zeke.

Wearing a look of sheer hostility, Cain pointed at Zeke insolently. “Mr. Lehman, he's the one who stepped in and spoiled our plan!”

After scanning Zeke from head to toe, Freddie sneered, “Hmph! What a naive punk! How dare you battle against me! You're asking for it! You'd better end your life to atone for your sins. If not, it will be too late when you die a horrible death later!”

Zeke snickered and retorted, “Pfft! I should be the one to say that to you! Where are Daemonium and Warren? How could they chicken out and refuse to show up? I'm surprised that they only assign such a small fry like you!”

Freddie was stunned. Zeke's words rang out like a rumble of lightning out of the blue for him.

Daemonium and Warren were deemed their leaders of the highest ranks. Not to mention, everything about them was highly confidential. Even the Black Muraco Clan was clueless about their existence. How is it possible for him to know about it?
