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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven 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!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that said, Erwen took out a pair of scissors and pressed them against her neck.
Cain instantly tensed up.
He had been lusting for Erwen's body for a long time. If she were to die at that moment, he would be filled with
regret for the rest of his life.
Thus, Cain hastily said, “All right, Erwen, you want to keep him alive, right?”
Erwen nodded.
“Then let's make a deal. If you marry me and serve me for the rest of my life, I'll let him go.”
Hearing that, Erwen hesitated.
Cain then sighed. “If you don't agree to it, then I have no choice but to let the two of you be star-crossed lovers.”
“All right, I'll a—”
Before Erwen could finish her sentence, Zeke stopped her.
“Erwen, don't be in such a rush to make the choice. I haven't showed them my Life-Bound Worm yet.”
“Mr. Williams, why are you still adamant about showing them your Life-Bound Worm at a time like this? Don't you
realize what's going on? Even if you prove to them that you're part of the White Muraco Clan and that you have a
Life-Bound Worm, Cain won't let you join the Black Muraco Clan. What he wants is your life!”
