Lord Protector Novel

Cain's face fell, and he turned to look at the villagers of the White Muraco Clan. “Didn't you people send Zeke here to surrender? Well, well. It looks like I've underestimated the White Muraco Clan's courage. Just you wait. I'm going to eliminate your entire clan today.”

“Your Highness, it's all a misunderstanding,” Jeremiah said hurriedly. “No matter how brave the White Muraco Clan is, we'll never dare to go against you.”

Cain questioned, “Then why didn't you people do as I say?”

Jeremiah replied, “Your Highness, it's not that we didn't want to, but we're really no match for Zeke. He's too strong. You'll understand when you look at our injuries.”

Cain refuted, “Who do you think you're lying to? Wouldn't you guys have used Myriad Worm Formation? I doubt that dude is able to avoid its attacks.”

Jeremiah laughed bitterly. “To be frank with you, even our Myriad Worm Formation could not defeat him. I suspect he might've used some dirty tricks to control Progenitor.”

“As if I'd believe that!” Cain scolded. “Do you think I'm stupid? Everyone knows only the elders can control Progenitor...”

Right then, one of his subordinates went up to him and whispered into his ears.

After a few seconds, a look of realization appeared on Cain's face. “I see.”

Meanwhile, Zeke frowned.

Based on Cain's expression, it looks like he believes that the White Muraco Clan's Myriad Worm Formation has failed to defeat me. But what exactly did his subordinate say that made him believe it? Did his subordinate tell him that Progenitor lost to me because of its severe injuries? That's highly likely. Looks like Progenitor of the White Muraco Clan is injured because of the Black Muraco Clan!

Cain continued, “Okay. I'll believe all of you people from the White Muraco Clan for now. I'm going to give all of you a second chance to work with my clan and capture Zeke. If you perform well, I'll forget all our past grudges.”

Jeremiah agreed instantly, “I had the same idea, too. Thank you, Your Highness.”

Cain turned to Zeke with a smug look. “I know you're a good fighter. But no matter how skilled you are, I doubt you can defeat the guards of the Black Muraco Clan. These guards of mine are legitimate martial artists. And with the help of the White Muraco Clan, your life will definitely end here today.”

“Guess I'll have to learn from you then,” Zeke said.

With a fearful expression, Erwen warned, “Mr. Williams, the Black Muraco Clan's guards are known for being extremely powerful. I don't think we should go head-to-head—”

Zeke consoled, “Don't worry. I won't even need to deal with them personally.”

The moment Erwen spoke, Cain fixed his eyes on her. “Erwen, I'm going to give you a chance as well. If you stand by my side right now, I'll marry you officially and make you my legal wife. If I have to do it by force, then I can only let you become my concubine. Worst of all, I might just make you my mistress without official status.”

However, Erwen stood behind Zeke without a hint of hesitation.

Even if I die, I want to die being on Zeke's side.

“Da*n it!” Cain fumed. “How dare you challenge my limit? Kill them!”

“Attack!” roared the guards of the Black Muraco Clan as they charged toward Zeke.
