Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2069

“Okay!” Freddie nodded.

He glanced at the prisoners again before stepping out of the room.

Kingsley reminded, “The way out is different from the way in, Freddie. You must remember the path. Don't say I didn't warn you.”

“Thank you for the reminder.”

Both of them soon left the firewood shed.

Kingsley stretched his body lazily and smiled. “I'll let you handle both of them for the next few days. Make sure they don't die, okay? Otherwise, both of us will get chewed out by our boss.”

Freddie patted his shoulder and reassured, “No need to worry about me. Once you've returned from visiting your family, I'll treat you to a couple of drinks, eh?”

“I should be the one treating you to a drink! I'll bring you a bottle of my hometown's specialty back with me. Let's go.”

Kingsley left while Freddie returned to his room.

He just left the base earlier, so it would be too suspicious for him to leave so soon again. I'll wait until the middle of the night before I report my findings to Zeke.

After hours of waiting, it was finally midnight.

He sneaked out of his room and headed toward the exit.

Thankfully, the guard at the gate was sleeping in his post, thus allowing him to leave without a hitch.

He ran as fast as he could in the bamboo forest to deliver the news about David and Brantley's whereabouts to Zeke.

Suddenly, he heard the voices of a man and a woman talking to each other.

“Stop being so naughty.”

“I can't wait, Darling.”

“Stop it. I'm not ready yet.”

Those two voices belonged to Warren and the Black Muraco Clan's Holy Maiden.

Why are the two of them here? Freddie was starting to sweat bullets. There's a huge chance that the Holy Maiden will reveal my betrayal! I need to get out of here!

He wanted to sneak away, but it was too late.

Warren noticed him and roared, “Who is it?”

“I-It's me, Mr. Williams...” Freddie replied with a trembling voice.

“Why the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Freddie gulped. “I-I just sensed that another cursed parasitic worm had matured in the Village of Livestock. M-Matured worms should be harvested as soon as possible.”

“Already? Fine! Come back as soon as possible!”

“Okay!” Freddie was about to sprint away. However...

“Wait.” The Holy Maiden stopped him.

He was so terrified that his legs were about to turn to jelly. Sh*t! The Holy Maiden from the Black Muraco Clan's going to expose me! What do I do? What do I do! I need to come up with a plan right now!



He couldn't think of anything else, so he turned around and responded, “What's the matter?”

“My Life-Bound Worm's getting weaker over the past few days, Freddie. I think something might've happened to the Progenitor of the Black Muraco Clan. After you leave, can you help me find out what's going on with our Progenitor? Thanks.”

His heart was beating with joy when he realized she didn't know the Progenitor of the Black Muraco Clan was already dead.

It was a pleasant surprise.

“You haven't been staying in the Village of Black Muraco Clan, Holy Maiden?”

Her face was flushed with red instantly. “I've been staying here to discuss important matters with Mr. Williams for the past few days.”

Freddie let out a sigh of relief in his mind before he explained, “You should know that the Progenitor of the White Muraco Clan is dead. Right now, those clan members are pledging their allegiance to the Progenitor of the Black Muraco Clan. The reason your Life-Bound Worm is getting weak is probably that the Progenitor of the Black Muraco Clan is struggling to support both clans at the same time.”

She nodded. “Ah, I see. Thanks for telling me, Freddie.”
