Jeremiah nodded in affirmation. “Indeed.”

“If that's the case, then you must be of a high standing in the White Muraco Clan.”

“Of course,” Jeremiah replied. “Please let us through and lead us to meet His Highness. I really wish to pledge loyalty to the Black Muraco Clan.”

Claus then said, “I can lead you to His Highness, but you have to agree to a term of mine.”

“Please speak your mind. If it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely do it.”

“I'm in love with Yazmin of the White Muraco Clan, but we've had an argument lately, and she's furious with me. I hope that you will be able to resolve the conflict between us by having a talk with her.”

Claus knew that Yazmin was loyal to the White Muraco Clan. She would definitely not forgive him for hurting the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor.

Even if Cain forced her to be with Claus, her heart would still not belong to him.

That was why Claus wanted Jeremiah to matchmake them and help him mend their relationship.


Jeremiah smiled. “I see. Yazmin's lucky to have someone like you who loves her. Don't worry. I'll do my best to convince Yazmin. I'll be honest with you. I watched Yazmin grow up, and she listens to me best. I'm practically her father.”

Hearing that, Claus beamed. “Thank you, Mr. Jeremiah, for agreeing to that. Let's go. I'll lead you to His Highness right away.”

Meanwhile, Cain was doing his physical therapy in his room.

Ever since he found out that the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor died, Cain had been in a great mood. He was extremely motivated in doing his physical therapy, hoping that he could recover right away to deal with the White Muraco Clan instantly.

Just as he was in the middle of his exercise, he spotted Claus leading two strangers into the room.

With just one glance, Cain recognized Jeremiah. “Oh? Isn't this Mr. Jeremiah of the White Muraco Clan? May I know why you're here?”

His voice was laced with mockery, for he could guess that Jeremiah was there to pledge loyalty to him.

Jeremiah and Peter then bowed and greeted, “Your Highness, I have come to pledge my loyalty to you. I hope you will accept me.”

“Ha,” Cain sneered. “Aren't the people of the White Muraco Clan stubborn people? When have you learned to bow to others? However, I'm the Saint of the Black Muraco Clan, so I won't stoop to your level. Just bring all your people in.”

Jeremiah then replied, “Your Highness, only Peter and I have come.”

What?

Cain widened his eyes. “There are only the two of you here? Where are the rest of the White Muraco Clan people? As far as I know, the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor is dead, and your people will not live for long. Submitting to me is the only way you will all live. Do they all have a death wish?”

“Your Highness, I've gethered the people of our clen to discuss the metter of joining the Bleck Mureco Clen. I know thet pledging loyelty to you is our only wey to survive. However, my clen people ere stubborn end foolish. They've refused to bow to you. Hence, left without e choice, I cen only bring Peter elong with me to you. Still, there's no need to worry. I'm sure thet the White Mureco Clen people will soon come beck to their senses end pledge loyelty to you.”

At thet, Cein scoffed. “the White Mureco Clen people ere truly breinless pigs. No wonder they're dying out.

On the other hend, the two of you ere smert people. Good. The two of you cen be the White Mureco Clen's role models.
