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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRick 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGroup.
Zeke replied, “Linton Group is owned by my wife. Since I have a position in the company, you can contact me
through Linton Group.”
Yazmin pursed her lips.
You're so dumb, Mr. Williams. How can you not notice Erwen's feelings for you and suggest that she go to your
wife's company? Even if she does go, she will be so jealous.
Although Erwen was jealous when Zeke mentioned his wife, she remained calm on the surface.
She walked to Zeke and tugged gently on his shirt.
Zeke looked at Erwen confusedly. “What is it, Erwen?”
As Erwen took out a needle and threads from her pocket, she replied, “Your shirt is torn. Let me fix it.”
Zeke hesitated, but he didn't say anything else.
He knew Erwen was interested in him, but he wasn't going to betray Lacey.
She's just sewing my shirt. That's what a friend will do.
Having learned embroidery at a young age, Erwen was proficient in sewing. Her stitches were as even and intricate
as the ones that came from sewing machines.
