Lord Protector Novel

Zeke explained, “His name is Cesar Muraco, a sorcerer from the Dullioud. He's an elderly and weak man dressed in a black robe.”

Astounded, Andres mumbled to himself, “Cesar Muraco from Dullioud dressed in a black robe? Could it be him?”

Zeke asked anxiously, “Do you know him?”

Andres responded, “I've heard long ago that the elder of the Black Muraco Clan has pledged loyalty to the bandits. Isn't Dullioud one of the largest bandits organizations in Eurasia? Apart from that, the elder of the Black Muraco Clan loves to dress in a black robe. Thus, there's a big possibility they are the same person!”

In a split second, Zeke was enlightened by his words. It never came to him that Cesar would turn out to be the elder of the Black Muraco Clan.

Since he had assimilated the Black Muraco Clan after eradicating their progenitor, he was not surprised that Cesar would bore wrath against him.

At the thought of that, he stated placidly, “Okay! I got it.”

“Elder, do you need me to go over and assist you?” Andres asked.

After pondering for a while, Zeke nodded. “Okay, come over here now.”

After hanging up, he turned to look at Cesar. “Let me tell you some bad news. I've just contacted Andres Muraco, the clan leader of the White Muraco Clan. He's able to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in Dawnie's body.”

Smiling ambiguously at Zeke, he stated casually, “Oh, is that so? Why don't you request him to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in her body now?”

Taking a deep breath, Zeke threatened, “Cesar Muraco, I'm giving you the final warning. If you're willing to turn over a new leaf and volunteer to get rid of the Heart-Bound Worm in Dawnie's body, I'll spare your life! However, if it ends up with anyone on my side getting rid of the Heart-Bound Worm, I can assure you that you'll die a horrible death!”

Nonetheless, Cesar was not the slightest bit intimidated by his threatening words. In fact, he retorted sardonically, “Pfft! It never comes to me that the Great Marshal would trick people with underhanded means. Let me be frank with you. Nobody can expel the poison of my Heart-Bound Worm in this world, let alone you, the formidable Great Marshal. As for the so-called clan leader from the White Muraco Clan, it's your wishful thinking that he's able to do so.”

Irked by his mockery, Zeke clenched his fists tightly. However, his hands were tied and there really was nothing he could do.

Veins protruded on Sole Wolf's forehead. Needless to say, it would be utterly unbearable for him if Zeke had to admit defeat. In fact, it was even more frustrating than he himself being humiliated by anyone.

Gritting his teeth, he snarled, “Very well, Cesar Muraco. You're going to pay the price for your insolence. Undeniably, we can't do anything to you now. But it doesn't mean that we can't lay a finger on your family and relatives. Don't blame us for being cold-hearted. We're only paying you back in your coin. You only have yourself to blame for stepping on our toes first!”

There was a slight change in Cesar's countenance, but he regained his usual composure within seconds.

To him, his family members' lives were incomparable to his. Let it be if he threatens to annihilate all my family members. Anyway, I can still remarry and have other children again!

When Zeke caught sight of Cesar's expression, he had a feeling the latter would not be bothered even if his family members were hurt.

Nevertheless, he insisted on giving it a try regardless of how low the success rate was. By hook or by crook, I must save Dawnie's life soonest possible!
