Lord Protector Novel

Nancy’s head was throbbing with pain. “But we can’t afford to stand idly by until Zeke returns. We’re losing tens of billions every day.”

Lacey muttered, “That is the only way for us. Worse comes to worst, I’ll give up on Linton Group. After all, Zeke isn’t the Great Marshal anymore. When he’s done with his mission, we will retire together. We will lead an ordinary life as a farmer. Nothing else matters as long as we’re together.”

......

At the Thisleton Manor.

Connor, the fake Ares, was in a good mood.

So far, his plan had been going smoothly.

He had successfully made Julian his pawn.

Now, his pawn was seated on the throne of the Great Marshal.

The next thing he was going to do was to make Julian leave the Thisleton family and set up a new force in Eurasia.

This new-found domination was going to be the foundation for the new Prince’s Residence.

Then, he would gradually move the Thisleton family’s assets into the new force to strengthen it.

The rebuilding of Prince’s Residence could come sooner than expected.

He ordered for Julian to come see him.

“Father, is there anything I can help you with?” Julian lowered his head respectfully before Ares.

Everything Julian had now was all thanks to Ares.

To him, Ares was like a God and he was the latter’s faithful follower.

Ares nodded. “You’ve achieved great things now. It’s time for you to leave the Thisleton family.”

Huh? Julian was dumbfounded. “Father, are you chasing me out of the Thisleton family?”

Ares shook his head. “Silly boy, of course not. Now that I’ve achieved King Class and you’re the Great Marshal, the Thisleton family seems all-powerful to the public. However, we’re barely close to the richest nor the most powerful in reality. We’re wasting our talents by staying in a small family. That’s why I want you to become independent and build a family much stronger than the Thisleton family.”

Julian nodded. “Father, you’re right. I’ll heed your words. However, it’s not that easy to simply create a powerful force. It’ll take at least ten years.”

Ares shook his head. “Julian, do you remember Prince’s Residence?”

Julian nodded. “Of course. Its assets were seized a while back. Why are you asking about it, Father?”

Ares answered, “The Prince’s Residence’s assets have all been seized and auctioned to the public. I want you to get them and use them as your foundation. As for the name, you should call it Emperor’s Residence.”

The last two letters of the Emperor’s Residence were a subtle hint to Connor’s name, and it was a much more impressive name than Prince’s Residence.

Julian nodded. “Alright, I’ll get on it immediately.”
