Lord Protector Novel

Conrad replied, “Our next step will be for you to take over Lucille as head of the household.”

Robin laughed bitterly. “You saw it for yourself. That old hag doesn’t even trust me to take care of their central business, much less appoint me as head of the household.”

Conrad chuckled. “That does seem unrealistic. But we can get her to pass the position to Zach for now. That man’s an idiot. It’s much easier to get the position from him rather than from that shrewd hag.”

But Robin protested, “I don’t think Lucille plans to appoint a new head of household anytime soon.”

Conrad assured her, “Don’t worry. We can do it by force.”

Robin was confused. “By force?”

Conrad smirked. “We will get the Great Marshal to force her to give up her position.”

“But we haven’t even seen the Great Marshal before! How can we ask him for help?”

“If the Lewis family hasn’t seen him, the Williams family definitely wouldn’t have seen him! The Great Marshal is whoever I say he is.”

Robin inhaled sharply. “Father, you want to get someone to impersonate the Great Marshal? T-That’s a major offence. We’ll get the capital punishment for that.”

Conrad smiled evilly. “Who will know, besides you and me? There’s definitely a risk to this plan, but with risk comes opportunity.”

Seven days later, the branch factory had started to take shape.

Conrad and Robin’s plan to take control of the Williams family was in full force as well.

Early in the morning, Robin gave Zach a call.

“Zach, bring grandma to the branch factory, quickly! The Great Marshal is pleased with our work! He wants to meet the two of you!”

What?

Zach was overjoyed. It was an honor for the Great Marshal to want to meet someone. He could brag about this for his entire life.

Zach replied, “Alright, I’ll bring grandma over immediately.”

Robin then added, “Oh right. From what I heard, the Great Marshal feels that grandma is getting on her age. He wants her to retire and enjoy her retirement. When that happens, you’ve got to fight for the position of head of the household.”

But Zach protested, “Robin, I’m still young and inexperienced. I can’t possibly manage the entire Williams family. Let’s try to convince the Great Marshal to let grandma postpone her retirement by two years.”

Robin snapped, “Zach Williams! How can a man back down like that! Especially when I’ll be supporting you the entire way! If you can’t even be the head of the family, how can you be a good match for me or the Lewis family? I’ll never be able to hold my head high in the Lewis family!”

Zach bit his lip and replied, “Alright then, Robin. I’ll definitely get the position for your sake!”

Zach soon found Lucille and told her about the Great Marshal’s arrival.
