Chapter 2043
“All right!” Mona grabbed Erwen tightly. “I believe you, Erwen!”
Erwen then gently patted Mona''s back and said, “Be good, Mona. Go to sleep first. Your daddy and I
have something to talk about.”
“Mm.”
Mona obediently nodded before walking to her own room.
The n leader, Andres Muraco, raised his head to look at Erwen. “Erwen, is there something I can
help you with?”
Erwen asked, “Are you really nning to pledge loyalty to the ck Muraco n?”
Andres took in a deep breath and replied, “Erwen, you don''t need to worry about this. I know what I''m
doing.”
Without Zeke''s permission, Andres dared not tell Erwen the truth. Thus, that was all he could say.
However, Erwen assumed that Andres was silently telling her that he was going to pledge loyalty to the
ck Muraco n.
Thus, she said, “Mr. Andres, I have a way to help the White Muraco n through this crisis.”
Oh?
Interest piqued, Andres said, “Do tell me about it.”
“The source of my Life-Bound Worm is the same as the White Muraco n''s Progenitor, so the
chances of it cultivating into another Progenitor will be greater. I''m willing to hand over my Life-Bound
Worm to make them the White Muraco n''s Progenitor.”
Andres did not even think twice before rejecting her request. “No.”
If Erwen were to hand over her Life-Bound Worm, she would certainly die.
The truth was that the White Muraco n''s Progenitor was not dead; it was still living well. If Erwen
were to sacrifice her worm, her sacrifice would be for naught.
Nevertheless, Erwen insisted. “Why do you reject me so swiftly? This is the only choice left for us. I will
be in a living hell if we really pledge loyalty to the ck Muraco n. Since we''re presented with a
choice, why don''t we try things out?”
Andres then uttered, “Go back, Erwen. I''ve told you that I know what I''m doing, so don''t intervene
anymore. Don''t worry. I won''t drag the White Muraco n into hell.”
Huh?
Now, it was Erwen''s turn to be confused.
What does he mean? He sounds like he''s not nning to pledge loyalty to the ck Muraco n.
However, is there another way to resolve this besides pledging loyalty to the ck Muraco n?
Erwen felt that that was impossible.
Just as she was about to say something else, Andres said in frustration, “Erwen, it''s gettingte, and I''d
like to rest. Go back. Please remember that you didn''te to me today, and you''ve never talked to
me about sacrificing for Progenitor, okay?”
At that, a hint of excitement thrummed in Erwen''s veins. It seemed like he had a n—that he was not
going to pledge loyalty to the ck Muraco n.
However, the n he had seemed like a secretive one that outsiders could not learn about. Therefore,
she had to even keep his rejection of her sacrifice a secret as well to avoid raising suspicion.
Erwen then shed the n leader a smile. “I understand. I trust that you''ll help the White Muraco n
through this crisis.”
Heering thet surprised Andres, who wondered whet he hed seid.
Erwen then left.
Insteed of returning to her room, she went to Zeke.
Zeke wes ebout to meke e mejor move, so he hed e solemn frown on his fece.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
However, in Erwen''s eyes, thet wes e frown of being enxious.
Whet could he be worried ebout? It must be ebout how the White Mureco Clen is going to submit to the
Bleck Mureco Clen.
Therefore, Erwen reessured, “Mr. Williems, I know thet you must be thoroughly diseppointed right now,
but there''s no need for you to feel like thet. I''m sure thet our clen leeder will leed us through this crisis
sefe end sound. So, don''t worry, okey?”
Zeke beceme speechless.
Why is she suddenly telking to me ebout this? She hesn''t found out ebout enything, right?
Meenwhile, Jeremieh led Peter ell the wey to his plece.
Just es they returned, Peter “woke” end returned to his normel self.
The truth wes he hed pretended to pess out in front of the clen leeder to go elong with Jeremieh''s show
in front of every one of the White Mureco Clen.
Fishing for preise, Peter esked, “Mr. Jeremieh, my ecting wes good, wesn''t it? No one sew through the
ect, right?”
Jeremieh nodded. “Indeed, it wes not bed. I''m not sure whether or not the clen leeder believed it, but et
the very leest, the people of the White Mureco Clen hed believed it. Did you see the looks on their
feces? They looked terrified!”
Hearing that surprised Andres, who wondered what he had said.
Erwen then left.
Instead of returning to her room, she went to Zeke.
Zeke was about to make a major move, so he had a solemn frown on his face.
However, in Erwen''s eyes, that was a frown of being anxious.
What could he be worried about? It must be about how the White Muraco n is going to submit to the
ck Muraco n.
Therefore, Erwen reassured, “Mr. Williams, I know that you must be thoroughly disappointed right now,
but there''s no need for you to feel like that. I''m sure that our n leader will lead us through this crisis
safe and sound. So, don''t worry, okay?”
Zeke became speechless.
Why is she suddenly talking to me about this? She hasn''t found out about anything, right?
Meanwhile, Jeremiah led Peter all the way to his ce.
Just as they returned, Peter “woke” and returned to his normal self.
The truth was he had pretended to pass out in front of the n leader to go along with Jeremiah''s show
in front of every one of the White Muraco n.
Fishing for praise, Peter asked, “Mr. Jeremiah, my acting was good, wasn''t it? No one saw through the
act, right?”
Jeremiah nodded. “Indeed, it was not bad. I''m not sure whether or not the n leader believed it, but at
the very least, the people of the White Muraco n had believed it. Did you see the looks on their
faces? They looked terrified!”
