Lord Protector Novel

What Cain said next was, “You have no right to pledge allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor.”

“Why?” Zeke asked. “Everyone has the right to do that, so why don't I as well?”

“It's simple. You're not one of the White Muraco Clan people. You don't even have a Life-Bound Worm. How are you going to pledge allegiance to the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor?”

Zeke responded, “Who told you I'm not part of the White Muraco Clan? Not only am I part of the White Muraco Clan, but my Life-Bound Worm is also from the White Muraco Clan.”

“Do you really think that I'll believe in your words?” Cain questioned. “Where's your Life-Bound Worm? Show me!”

“Sure,” came Zeke's quick reply.

Just then, Peter stepped forward to say, “Your Highness, don't waste your time with him anymore. He's just messing with us. I can prove that he's not one of us. He only came to the White Muraco Clan a few days ago. He's just lying about his Life-Bound Worm. Zeke's just messing with us! This bast*rd has insulted Your Highness so many times. Even if you can stand it, I can't. Your Highness, I'd like to ask for your permission to get rid of him!”

Zeke then turned to Peter and nodded. “Sure. If you get his permission, I'll fight with you. Get over here!”

Those three thunderous words almost shook the earth, and it made Peter's heart skip a beat. There was no way he would have the courage to fight Zeke right after that shout.

However, Cain was grinning maniacally. “Zeke, I know that you know a thing or two. That's why you can be so arrogant. However, you can only bow to me now. Everyone, listen up, release your Life-Bound Worms and activate the Myriad Worm Formation. This time, we're going to end his life, or else every one of you will be punished!”

With that said, the Black Muraco Clan people released their Life-Bound Worms.

After a moment of hesitation, the White Muraco Clan people also released their Life-Bound Worms.

Now, they were all part of the Black Muraco Clan. If they did not listen to the Saint of the Black Muraco Clan, they would suffer a terrible death.

Hence, there was no reason for them to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a stranger.

Thousands of Life-Bound Worms hovered in the air menacingly, ready to end Zeke's life at any time.

That scene frightened Erwen.

Instinctively, she tried to step forward to shield Zeke, but Yazmin stopped her.

“Erwen, don't. Mr. Williams will be fine.”

Yazmin knew that Zeke was the White Muraco Clan's elder, so she knew that he was powerful. Since he was the one who set everything up, she was certain that he would be able to turn the table.

However, that was not what Erwen, who did not know about Zeke's identity, would think.

In the end, she still broke free from Yazmin's grasp and stood in front of Zeke.

“Stop, Cain, order them to stop immediately! You can't hurt him!”

Almost immediately, Cain's expression darkened. “Get over here, Erwen! You're mine, but you're defending another man? You're challenging my limits!”

Nevertheless, Erwen insisted, “Cain, deactivate the Myriad Worm Formation, or I'll kill myself!”

With that said, Erwen took out a pair of scissors and pressed them against her neck.
