Lord Protector Novel

“Elder, what do you think?”

Zeke said, “Let them pledge allegiance for now to save their lives. I have a mission for you, Andres.”

Andres responded hastily, “Say it, Elder. I shall do my best.”

“The crime committed by the people of the Black Muraco Clan wasn't serious enough to warrant their deaths, but they must be punished for their evil deeds. Run an investigation. If you discover anyone breaking the law, punish them severely. I shall give you the right to execute someone on the spot and report the matter later,” he commanded.

Andres nodded. “Your wish is my command. I won't let you down.”

The crowd exchanged confused and surprised looks.

What is going on? Why is Andres addressing Zeke as his elder? Is Zeke the elder of the White Muraco Clan? That's ridiculous. He's too young to be an elder!

Andres knew why they were bewildered.

He parted his lips to explain, “Did you remember how our elder mentioned a good friend he had known for years?”

Everyone nodded emphatically.

Andres continued, “In fact, Mr. Williams is that friend of our elder. He trusted Mr. Williams enough to give him the pendant he had kept for years. Mr. Williams was powerful enough to force our Progenitor into submission. That reason alone is enough for him to be our elder. Besides, Mr. Williams saved our lives and helped us out of the grim situation that had been plaguing us for years. Are there any objections to him becoming our elder?”

“We have no objections!” the crowd responded unanimously.

“The heavens have sent Mr. Williams to save us, so we're honored for him to be our elder.”

“Mr. Williams, we didn't mean to offend you. Previously, we didn't know your identity. Please don't take it to heart.”

“Mr. Williams, we hereby pledge our allegiance to you! We will do anything for you from today onwards!”

Everyone patted their chests and pledged their loyalty to Zeke.

Erwen, however, was rooted to the ground.

Despite knowing Zeke was a capable man, she had no idea he was the White Muraco Clan's elder.

I can't believe I was thinking about protecting him. Looking at it in hindsight, it was definitely a mistake.

Erwen glanced at Andres before turning to Yazmin. “Yazmin, did you know Mr. Williams is our elder and that Progenitor is still alive?”

Yazmin bobbed her head. “Yes.”

Erwen was pissed. “Why didn't you tell me then?”

“Without Mr. Williams' approval, I dare not reveal anything,” Yazmin responded. “It was all his plan. If too many people find out about it, his plan might be affected and cause our clan to be doomed forever.”

Erwen nodded thoughtfully.

He's powerful enough to come out with a large-scale scheme.

It was obvious to Cain that he was done for.

He didn't want to submit to the White Muraco Clan.
