Lord Protector Novel

Zach and Lucille could not stop their snickering.

He’s shameless when he’s trying to build a relationship with the Great Marshal.

How can he think of promoting himself to General Cosmopolis at a time like this?

Does he think General Cosmopolis is the average person?

Hmph. Just you wait. General Cosmopolis surely won’t let you off easily.

After watching the video, Wolf’s Greed exclaimed, “Very well! This is excellent work! The Linton Group is now vivid in my head after watching it once. It seems like your company has some capabilities in filming promotional videos. I’ll leave this task to you. As for the reward... I’ll give you half of Eurasia Pictures’ shares. The Great Marshal doesn’t have the time to manage Eurasia Pictures. You’ll have to manage it well on his behalf.”

What?

It was as if time had come to a standstill.

Everyone was staring at Wolf’s Greed with widened eyes and slackened jaws.

General Cosmopolis actually agreed to it!

He just gave them half of Eurasia Pictures’ shares!

This is unbelievable!

Lacey was the first to come back to her senses. With unconcealed delight, she exclaimed her gratitude to Wolf’s Greed, “Thank you very much, Sir!”

Wolf’s Greed waved his hand dismissively with a smile. “No need for any thanks. You deserve this.”

“Depart!”

Wolf’s Greed then led his men away.

A cold breeze blew into the room from the slightly opened window and straight into Lucille and Zach’s heart.

If they had promoted themselves earlier, Zeke would not have stood a chance.

They had just lost an opportunity to build a relationship with the Great Marshal!

Zeke had used the Williams family as a stepping stone in achieving his goal.

Zach took in a deep breath before looking at Lucille. “Grandma, now... Now, what do we do?”

An awful feeling was overwhelming Lucille despite her attempts to keep it at bay.

She huffed as she glared at Zeke, “Zeke, we kicked you out of the Williams family because you were just an incapable black sheep of the family back then. However, now that you’re the Great Marshal’s business partner, you’re worthy of becoming a member of the Williams family. I now permit you to return to the Williams family. Of course, you’ll have to hand over the shares the Great Marshal gave you to the family.”

If Zeke returned to the Williams family, that would mean the Williams family was the Great Marshal’s business partner.

They could kick Zeke out of the family once they got their hands on the shares.

With a smile that did not reach his eyes, Zeke muttered, “Hm? Is this pity?”

Zach replied, “That’s right. We’re doing this out of pity for you. I hope you’ll be smart enough to take the opportunity before it slips away.”

“Pfft!”

Zeke could not help but laugh. “This is the greatest joke I’ve heard in my entire life! The Williams family is unworthy of me! If you had begged me to return, I might have considered it, but since you said it’s done out of pity for me... I’m sorry. You should stop dreaming about it from now on.”

Lucille fumed, “Zeke, you should think this through before giving us an answer. Without the Williams family supporting you, it’ll be tough for you to make a living in Atheville.”
