The Progenitor was speechless.
After giving my all, do you think I'm out to fool you?
Zeke interrupted, “Enough. Progenitor, get the Heart-Bound Worm to leave Dawn's body.”
Mmm-hmm.
After nodding in acknowledgment, the Progenitor used its will to instruct the Heart-Bound Worm to exit Dawn's
body.
Now that Progenitor was its master, the Heart-Bound Worm didn't dare disobey.
Subsequently, Dawn opened her mouth and threw up a mouthful of dark-colored blood. Within it was a medium-
size creature which was obviously the Heart-Bound Worm.
The sight of it gave Lacey and Nancy goosebumps. In fact, their hair stood on end just thinking about how
something like that was living in Dawn's body.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNonetheless, Dawn stared curiously at the Heart-Bound Worm, “This is such a bizarre worm to be able to move
freely within one's body.”
Just when Zeke was about to stomp the worm to death, the Progenitor stopped him.
Wait.
Zeke gave the Progenitor a baffled look. “Why?”
The Progenitor explained, “If you want to seek revenge on the person who implanted the worm, I suggest that you
keep the Heart-Bound Worm alive.”
Zeke asked, “What do you mean?”
The Progenitor added, “Since the perpetrator controls the Heart-Bound Worm, you can control the perpetrator
through the worm too. As long as you do it right, you will be able to easily annihilate whoever it is.”
Zeke asked, “Oh, in that case, what do I need to do in order to achieve that?”
The Progenitor continued, “You don't have to worry about that. All you need to do is let me know, and I can control
the perpetrator through the Heart-Bound Worm.”
Zeke nodded in acknowledgment. “Mmm-hmm. In that case, I'll leave the matter to you.”
The Progenitor quickly suggested, “Of course, but I'm not going to do it for nothing. You have to agree to a
condition of mine.”
Zeke retorted, “Hehe, do you think you're in a position to negotiate?”
The Progenitor calmed him down. “Don't be so harsh on me yet, let's discuss this properly. At the very least, you
should hear me out before deciding.”
Zeke relented. “Fine. I'll reject you after you state your condition.”
The Progenitor was speechless.
What difference is it going to make? You might as well reject me outright. How can humans be so shameless?
The Progenitor took a deep breath and declared, “I want to take Dawn back to the White Muraco Clan.”
Zeke replied, “I'm not—”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Progenitor pleaded at once, “Don't reject me just yet. Dawn is of the Dragon Bloodline and is extremely
important to the worms as a species. I'll be honest with you. For the last hundred, in fact, a thousand years, worms
have been in decline. As birth rates continued to drop drastically, the species is in danger of extinction.
At the current pace, worms will die out in less than a hundred years. As for the Muraco Clan that relies on us, they
too will gradually vanish from this world. Therefore, Dawn doesn't just represent herself but carries the hopes of the
entire worm species and that of the Muracans.
“Also, there's no need for you to worry, as we'll not hurt Dawn at all. At most, we want to leverage her Dragon
Bloodline to improve the physical attributes of worms. Once we have done so, I promise to return Dawn
unharmed.”
At that moment, the usually cheerful Progenitor looked a lot more serious than usual.
After deliberating on it, Zeke answered, “You will have to seek Dawn's permission to do that.”
Fill with anticipation, the Progenitor turned toward Dawn. “Dawn, I hope you will be willing to come with me to my
hometown, for we really need you. In fact, the future of our species lies entirely in your hands.”
Dawn was shocked. “Are you joking? What has the survival of your entire species have anything to do with me? I
won't and can't go with you, for Linton Group still needs me.”
