Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2272

Zeke explained, “His name is Cesar Muraco, a sorcerer from the Dullioud. He's an elderly and weak man dressed in a black robe.”

Astounded, Andres mumbled to himself, “Cesar Muraco from Dullioud dressed in a black robe? Could it be him?”

Zeke asked anxiously, “Do you know him?”

Andres responded, “I've heard long ago that the elder of the Black Muraco Clan has pledged loyalty to the bandits. Isn't Dullioud one of the largest bandits organizations in Eurasia? Apart from that, the elder of the Black Muraco Clan loves to dress in a black robe. Thus, there's a big possibility they are the same person!”

In a split second, Zeke was enlightened by his words. It never came to him that Cesar would turn out to be the elder of the Black Muraco Clan.

Since he had assimilated the Black Muraco Clan after eradicating their progenitor, he was not surprised that Cesar would bore wrath against him.

At the thought of that, he stated placidly, “Okay! I got it.”

“Elder, do you need me to go over and assist you?” Andres asked.

After pondering for a while, Zeke nodded. “Okay, come over here now.”

After hanging up, he turned to look at Cesar. “Let me tell you some bad news. I've just contacted Andres Muraco, the clan leader of the White Muraco Clan. He's able to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in Dawnie's body.”

Smiling ambiguously at Zeke, he stated casually, “Oh, is that so? Why don't you request him to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in her body now?”

Taking a deep breath, Zeke threatened, “Cesar Muraco, I'm giving you the final warning. If you're willing to turn over a new leaf and volunteer to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in Dawnie's body, I'll spare your life! However, if it ends up with anyone on my side getting rid of the Heart-Bound Worm, I can assure you that you'll die a horrible death!”

Nonetheless, Cesar was not the slightest bit intimidated by his threatening words. In fact, he retorted sardonically, “Pfft! It never comes to me that the Great Marshal would trick people with underhanded means. Let me be frank with you. Nobody can expel the poison of my Heart-Bound Worm in this world, let alone you, the formidable Great Marshal. As for the so-called clan leader from the White Muraco Clan, it's your wishful thinking that he's able to do so.”

Irked by his mockery, Zeke clenched his fists tightly. However, his hands were tied and there really was nothing he could do.

Veins protruded on Sole Wolf's forehead. Needless to say, it would be utterly unbearable for him if Zeke had to admit defeat. In fact, it was even more frustrating than he himself being humiliated by anyone.

Gritting his teeth, he snarled, “Very well, Cesar Muraco. You're going to pay the price for your insolence. Undeniably, we can't do anything to you now. But it doesn't mean that we can't lay a finger on your family and relatives. Don't blame us for being cold-hearted. We're only paying you back in your coin. You only have yourself to blame for stepping on our toes first!”

There was a slight change in Cesar's countenance, but he regained his usual composure within seconds.

To him, his family members' lives were incomparable to his. Let it be if he threatens to annihilate all my family members. Anyway, I can still remarry and have other children again!

When Zeke caught sight of Cesar's expression, he had a feeling the latter would not be bothered even if his family members were hurt.

Nevertheless, he insisted on giving it a try regardless of how low the success rate was. By hook or by crook, I must save Dawnie's life soonest possible!

For the time being, Rick and the others were the ones who knew Cesar the best. Without hesitation, Zeke let him and the others take the antidote for the trine worm.

Right after taking it, they collapsed on the ground, yowling and wriggling in pain.

Five minutes later, they finally started to quiet down and come to themselves after the trine worms in their bodies were expelled.

Right after they came to their senses, they could barely wait to teach Cesar a lesson. Unequivocally, the latter was hopelessly hard-hearted.

Even so, Zeke stood in their way immediately. Since Cesar and Dawn's lives were tied to each other in a way, he was worried stiff. No way! Dawnie will have to endure the pain if they bash him up!

Kneeling in front of Zeke, Rick and the others pleaded with him, “Great Marshal, please don't get angry. We only lost our minds and ended up exploited by him after being poisoned by his trine worm.”

“Great Marshal, we had no choice but to give in to him earlier. Please spare us.”

“Great Marshal, we vow to be faithful to you!”

Zeke waved his hands at them instantly. “Quiet, please. There's something I need to ask you. If you can tell me the truth, I'll consider it as you redeeming your mistakes.”
