Chapter 2004
The residents requested, “Tell us what happened and stop crying, Peter!”
Peter wiped his tears away and answered, “I came here this morning to grab the food we''re supposed
to send to the Vige of Livestock. Every time Ie here, Mona will greet me. However, she wasn''t
there when I came earlier. I thought she was simply still asleep, so I didn''t think too much about it.
However, when I passed by her bedroom, I saw the door was open, and she was sleeping on the bed. I
went inside the room to wake her up, but when I did, I realized that she was already... Her face was
blue, and her lips were purple. There were already no signs of life in her. She looked as though she
had suffocated. I don''t have any wife or children, so I''ve always treated Mona as my own daughter. If I
find out who killed her, I''ll drink their blood and eat their flesh as revenge for her!”
The n members were all riled up as they discussed how to locate the killer.
At that moment, an old wise man approached Mona before checking her eyes and arms.
Momentster, he spoke up emotionally as his arms trembled. “Mona was clearly killed by a worm!
Dear god! Who could possibly be cruel enough to do that to her?”
When the n members learned she died from a worm, they became even more agitated.
There had always been an unwritten rule in the Muraco n that no n members could ever harm
another n member with the use of worms. Even the ck Muraco n wasn''t allowed to do that to
the White Muraco n.
This rule that not even their oldest ancestors had dared to go against had been broken, so how could
everyone not be angry?
However, someone still asked, “How can you be so sure that Mona was killed by a worm? We should
double-check it.”
The old man shifted his gaze to another old man. “Please help me examine Mona''s body, Bimble.”
Bimble stepped forward and checked Mona''s body.
Momentster, he concluded, “Mr. Jeremiah is right! Mona did indeed die because of a worm. Not only
that, it''s the most powerful worm of them all, the Killing Worm!”
The n members couldn''t hold back their anger any further when they heard that name.
“The Killing Worm is the most typical worm that the ck Muraco n uses! Is it possible that the
ck Muraco n was the one who killed Mona?”
“We have endured the ck Muraco n''s bullying all this while and obeyed everymand they
gave us. Yet, they still decided to kill Mona? They are beyond cruel!”
“I won''t stand for this injustice!”
“We must find them and ask them why they''re willing to kill such a young child!”
Under the influence of their emotions, the crowd was eager to rush off to find the ck Muraco n.
Peter suddenly shouted, “Listen to me! I think I know why the ck Muraco n did this.”
All of them promptly shifted their attention to him.
Jeremiah stated impatiently, “Tell us everything you know, Peter.”

Peter cleared his throat and spoke. “As you all know, the Holy Maiden brought an outsider here
yesterday. His name is Zeke Williams. Yesterday, when he came to our vige, he met with the Saint of
ck Muraco, Cain. Both of them had a violent conflict, and it ended when Zeke threw him into a pond
and almost drowned him. As you all know, Cain is someone who cares about his reputation very much.
There''s no way he won''t seek revenge for getting beaten in front of his own men. He demanded we
hand Erwen''s and Zeke''s heads to them before tonight. Perhaps he assassinated Mona because he
was pissed off by how we refused to obey his demand and used her death as a way to warn us we
shouldn''t disobey him!”
The n members exploded in anger.
“What? Is that how it really happened?”
“That outsider, Zeke, is going to doom us all!”
