Lord Protector Novel

To Zeke's surprise, the villagers of Village of Livestock were still living in the place. In fact, they never left.

Zeke frowned and turned to Sole Wolf. “Did you not destroy the negative energy barrier here?”

Sole Wolf replied, “I've already broken the barrier long ago, according to your instructions.”

“That's weird. Why aren't they leaving?” Zeke asked.

“I'm not sure about that.” Sole Wolf shook his head.

Zeke quickened his pace and entered Village of Livestock.

When the villagers saw him, they ran forward subconsciously and surrounded him.

After all, Zeke was their savior. Naturally, they had to show their gratitude toward their savior.

Ava greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Williams.”

Zeke nodded in acknowledgment. “Hello. Why are all of you still here? Why haven't you left?”

Ava sighed. “We're all guilty. Even if we do leave this place, there's still a high possibility of us getting arrested and

thrown into jail. So, it's better for us to stay here. Although it's a little lacking here, it's better than being on edge

every day.”

Zeke nodded.

Perhaps being stuck here and passing away silently is a form of punishment for them. That's probably enough for

them to atone for their sins. But then, their children are innocent. Do they really have to stay here and suffer with

them?

As he was thinking about that, Ava suddenly kneeled before Zeke.

Seeing that, he frowned. “Ava, what—”

The woman pleaded, “Mr. Williams, I've no regrets living here alone until I die, but my children are innocent. I don't

want them to live a life full of darkness here. They should go to school, see the world, get married, have children...

“Please. I'm begging you. Please take my children out of here. You can make them work and give all their salary to

you. Just, please... Take them out of this living hell.”

The others got to their knees and started begging as well.

“Mr. Williams, please take our children out of here.”

“It's okay for us to die here, but we don't want to drag our children down with us. We'll regret it for the rest of our

life.”

“As long as you take our children out, we'll do anything you ask.”

Zeke mulled it over and asked, “Ava, let me ask you something. You said you were set up by your best friend and

that you were innocent. Is that true?”

Ava nodded vigorously. “I swear on my life that everything I said is true. If there's a single lie in anything I say, you

can punish me with a painful death.”

Zeke glanced at the other villagers. “Is there anyone else who was set up just like Ava?”

Surprisingly, more than half of the crowd raised their hands.

Seeing that, Zeke suspected their imprisonment was caused by the Black Muraco Clan. He believed the clan's

motive was to send them to Village of Livestock to become actual livestock.

Zeke then turned to Sole Wolf. “I have an important task for you. Investigate this matter. We must prove their

innocence. One more thing. This is regarding the people who handled their case and convicted the villagers of their

crimes. If you find them suspicious of preferential treatment or fraud, punish them severely. I give you the right to

execute their punishment on the spot.”

“Got it,” Sole Wolf replied.

Zeke then said to the villagers, “Bring your children forward and let them leave with Sole Wolf. As long as you're

innocent, you'll be granted a normal life once Sole Wolf gets to the bottom of this. On top of that, I'll make sure

you'll be compensated with a large sum of money. For those who're guilty, Sole Wolf will give you light punishments.

As for your children, they'll be taken care of by the welfare organizations. Once you're freed, you can continue

living a normal life with them.”

The crowd was so grateful that they teared up.

Originally, they thought their life had come to an end. They never expected Zeke to give them a chance to start

afresh.

This was like giving them a second life.

Saaing that, Zaka suspactad thair imprisonmant was causad by tha Black Muraco Clan. Ha baliavad tha clan's
