Lord Protector Novel

However, Cesar was worried. “Master, what if a strong enemy attacks...”

Daemonium hissed, “If you have to die guarding this place, so be it! I will not be responsible if anything happens to you!”

As Cesar didn't dare to defy Daemonium's orders, he agreed in fear and trepidation.

After Daemonium left, Cesar regretted showing him his trine worms.

If he hadn't shown his trine worms, Deamonium wouldn't know that Fortuna was hidden underwater in the rivers. Then, he wouldn't have to risk his life guarding the river.

Now that Cesar was ordered to guard the river, he didn't dare defy Daemonium because he had signed a deal with him. If he betrayed Daemonium or defied his orders, he could be easily killed by Daemonium.

I brought this upon myself!

In the end, Cesar had no choice but to patrol the river with Rick and the remaining others.

Rick and the others were now under Cesar's control like a puppeteer with his puppets. He could make them do whatever he wanted.

In the meantime, Zeke, Andres, and Erwen found a secluded area to continue experimenting with the antidote for the trine worms.

After altering and improving the prescriptions recorded in the ancient manual, Zeke concocted the antidote personally.

It took him four hours to figure out the right composition of the antidote.

However, they still needed to try the antidote on someone to know if it worked.

They had to get an infected person to try the antidote.

Zeke glanced at Sole Wolf and ordered, “Get me an infected villager from Durbaine.”

Sole Wolf gave Zeke a thumbs-up. “You're so forgiving, Zeke. If I were treated by the villagers the way they treated you, I wouldn't have bothered myself to help them.”

Zeke sighed. A few years ago, he would have punished the Durbaine villagers for offending him, at the very least.

However, after having Nelly, he couldn't bear the thought of the kids in Durbaine dying from hunger once their parents died.

Hence, he decided to rescue the villagers of Durbaine instead of retaliating against them.

When Sole Wolf left once the concoction of the antidote was completed, Erwen and Yazmin finally had the time to talk to Zeke.

While Erwen was shy to speak, Yazmin started chatting with Zeke.

“Where have you been these days, Mr. Williams? We can't find you anywhere!”

Zeke replied, “If you need to find me next time, just go to Linton Group. Linton Group has many branches in each of the major cities in the country.”

Linton Group?

Erwen and Yazmin stared at Zeke confusedly because they didn't understand why they would find Zeke in Linton Group.
