Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2265

Have I heard wrongly?

Don looked at Zeke gratefully.

Instead of punishing him and the villagers, Zeke tried to save their lives.

He never expected Zeke to be so forgiving.

Don was about to thank Zeke when Sole Wolf ordered, “Shut up and drink it quickly!”

Don hurriedly swallowed the antidote.

Zeke and the others fixed their gaze on Don attentively as it was their only way of knowing whether the antidote worked.

After finishing the antidote, Don suddenly clasped his chest and moaned, “Ouch! Ouch...”

Andres heaved a sigh of relief as it was what he was expecting. If Don was in pain, the antidote must be working.

At least they knew that they were in the correct direction although they couldn't prove that the trine worms were killed.

If Don didn't react at all, it meant that the antidote didn't work on the trine worms.

The pain became more excruciating as every second passed.

In the end, Don lost every ounce of strength he had. Crumpling to the ground, he lay convulsing, foaming and wailing. It looked like he might get into shock anytime.

Everyone witnessing Don's reaction to the antidote was nervous.

Will the antidote overpower the trine worms, or will the trine worms win?

Hopefully he can survive.

Seeing that Don was in pain, Zeke used his energy and deployed Ammo Needles to elevate Don's pain.

As time passed, Don's pain subsided. Half an hour later, Don didn't feel pain anymore. Slumping on the ground, he was panting heavily.

His clothes were soaking wet from sweating in pain.

Sole Wolf gave Don a kick. “Are you dead? Get up if you're still alive.”

Despite the agonizing pain, Don heeded Sole Wolf's instructions and stood up. Gasping for breath, he looked at Zeke.

Zeke asked, “How are you feeling now?”

Don responded, “I feel... I feel much better. The suffocating chest tightness that I always have is gone. I can breathe better now.”

Zeke nodded. “Come forward and let me take a look.”

With trembling legs, Don approached Zeke carefully.

Zeke grabbed Don's wrist and took his pulse.

After a moment, a smile formed on Zeke's face. “Not bad. The poison from the trine worms has been removed. The antidote worked.”

Andres and the others were relieved to hear that.

Grateful for Zeke's help, Don knelt before him again.

“Thank you, Great Marshal. I will never forget how you've helped me. This is the second time you've saved my life, and yet I repaid your kindness with malice. I'm a shameless man who deserves to die!”

Don continued, “The priest is to be blamed for this! If not for him spreading lies about you, I will never have misunderstood you!”

Priest?

The others were confused. “What priest are you talking about?”

Don explained, “Well, a priest came to our village today. He said a lot of ominous stuff and even cursed the villagers. We didn't believe him at first, but after his predictions came true one by one, he managed to trick us into trusting him.”

“He told us that those two women and a man did something to our ancestors' graves, bringing bad luck to the village. He made us believe that they are the reason for our recent strange encounters and that we have to get rid of them if we want things to go back to normal. We were too stupid to realize that the priest was lying, so we attacked...”

What?

Zeke looked at Don with interest. “Who is the priest? Where is he? Bring us to him quickly.”

However, Don shook his head. “I don't know his real identity or where he is now. He came and left in a hurry after injuring my men in a fight.”

Zeke started to analyze the situation calmly. “Why is he aiming at Andres and the others? Why does he want to kill Andres?”

“Zeke, I think he wants Andres dead because he doesn't want him healing the villagers and killing the trine worms,” Sole Wolf said grimly.

“If not, why would he strike right when Andres is experimenting on the antidote for the trine worms?”
