Chapter 2263


    However, Cesar was worried. “Master, what if a strong enemy attacks...”


    Daemonium hissed, “If you have to die guarding this ce, 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.


    Rick 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 rightposition 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 nced at Sole Wolf and ordered, “Get me an infected viger from Durbaine.”


    Sole Wolf gave Zeke a thumbs-up. “You''re so forgiving, Zeke. If I were treated by the vigers 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 vigers 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 vigers of Durbaine instead of retaliating against them.


    When Sole Wolf left once the concoction of the antidote waspleted, 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 Group.

    Zeke replied, “Linton Group is owned by my wife. Since I have a position in thepany, 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''spany? 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.
