Lord Protector Novel

What the hell is going on?

How could a fallen Great Marshal be so impolite to the renowned Tim Gunn?

Tim Gunn, however, didn’t complain.

He didn’t even dare to show any hints of displeasure.

Zeke Williams played a huge role in helping Tim reach that level of success.

Back then, Zeke had defeated the nine countries in battle and given Eurasian companies the right to compete fairly with other countries.

That boosted Eurasia’s economy that had been lying dormant for decades.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Zeke was the savior of Eurasia’s economy.

Zeke trusted Tim, so he vouched for the latter and helped him become the head of the finance ministry.

The first few years went smoothly, and Eurasia’s economy rose exponentially.

However, the country’s economy had since hit the bottleneck, and its development slowed to a stop.

Zeke blamed it all on Tim, which was the reason he was rude to Tim.

Tim replied, “Okay, we’ll get right down to business. Ms. Hinton, I would like to collaborate with you on behalf of Eurasia.”

Lacey asked curiously, “Please elaborate on that, Mr. Gunn.”

Tim answered, “I’m guessing Ms. Hinton heard the news about how a mysterious merchant from Eurasia bought an abandoned aircraft carrier from a foreign country?”

What the hell is going on?

How could a fallen Great Marshal be so impolite to the renowned Tim Gunn?

Lacey nodded. “Yeah, I did. Rumor has it that the mysterious merchant wants to convert it into a luxurious restaurant.”

Tim shook his head. “That last bit is not true. The mysterious merchant actually bought the aircraft carrier on behalf of the Eurasian government.”

“Huh? Why would Eurasia buy an abandoned aircraft carrier?” asked Lacey in puzzlement.

Tim replied, “We are living in a world where the country with the best aircraft carrier can dominate the seas. Unfortunately, the naval technology that Eurasia has is limited, so it is impossible for us to create one on our own. As such, our country has been struggling to keep our oceans safe, with other countries oppressing us. That is why Eurasia bought the abandoned aircraft carrier. We’re hoping to learn the basics of building one by examining that wreckage. After that, we will create one of our own.”

Lacey nodded. “What does that have to do with Linton Group though?”

Tim said, “Replicating an aircraft carrier is no easy feat, and the government cannot do it alone, so we need help from local companies. Hence, we would like to outsource everything, except the engineering of the aircraft carrier, to Linton Group. This project will determine the country’s strength and its global ranking, so I pray that Ms. Hinton will accept our offer.”

W-What?

Locey nodded. “Yeoh, I did. Rumor hos it thot the mysterious merchont wonts to convert it into o luxurious restouront.”

Tim shook his heod. “Thot lost bit is not true. The mysterious merchont octuolly bought the oircroft corrier on beholf of the Eurosion government.”

“Huh? Why would Eurosio buy on obondoned oircroft corrier?” osked Locey in puzzlement.

Tim replied, “We ore living in o world where the country with the best oircroft corrier con dominote the seos. Unfortunotely, the novol technology thot Eurosio hos is limited, so it is impossible for us to creote one on our own. As such, our country hos been struggling to keep our oceons sofe, with other countries oppressing us. Thot is why Eurosio bought the obondoned oircroft corrier. We’re hoping to leorn the bosics of building one by exomining thot wreckoge. After thot, we will creote one of our own.”

Locey nodded. “Whot does thot hove to do with Linton Group though?”

Tim soid, “Replicoting on oircroft corrier is no eosy feot, ond the government connot do it olone, so we need help from locol componies. Hence, we would like to outsource everything, except the engineering of the oircroft corrier, to Linton Group. This project will determine the country’s strength ond its globol ronking, so I proy thot Ms. Hinton will occept our offer.”

W-Whot?

Lacey, Dawn, and the others dropped their jaws.

Building an aircraft carrier for Eurasia...

Even without the hefty profit that came with it, the merit alone would turn Linton Group into one of the top corporations in the country!

Additionally, Eurasia would be indebted to Linton Group for doing the country a huge favor and protect the company in the future.

No one would dare to mess with Linton Group after that.

This wasn’t a request for collaboration at all. It was basically a humongous gift wrapped with a golden ribbon!

This also explained why Manny and the others were so eager to collaborate with Linton Group—they were after this project.

Linton Group didn’t have the resources to complete a project that big, which meant it would have to outsource some parts of the project to other companies.

Even without putting in much effort, Manny and the others could still profit greatly from those parts.

But there was one thing that puzzled Lacey.
