Lord Protector Novel

Zeke's eyes immediately filled with wrath. “The Mitxels would have never survived this long if it weren't for the Peace Medal! All I'm asking for right now is your family's assets, so consider this my last act of benevolence! If you push me any further, I'll have all your lives taken too! Your ancestors were heroes who fought so hard for world peace, only to give birth to such worthless offspring like you! You don't deserve to own the Peace Medal!”

Logan trembled at those words.

He knew Zeke was certainly capable of wiping out the entire Mitxel family if he wanted to.

I guess there's nothing I can do now.

Rhett hurriedly stepped forward. “Dad, am I now the head of the Mitxel family?”

Given that Jared's death was certain, Rhett was naturally the next best candidate to lead the household.

Logan nodded.

“All right. In that case, as the patriarch of the Mitxel family, I hereby present all of our assets to Mr. Zeke Williams. Please accept them as a token of my gratitude, Mr. Williams.”

Zeke shot him a glance. At least you know your place.

Rhett continued, “It won't be easy managing my family's assets considering the amount we have, Mr. Williams. Even if you were to hire a genius to take charge, I believe there'd be no way of understanding how the family business works anytime soon, let alone manage it well. That's why I'd like to volunteer myself. Let me serve you and help you manage the businesses. As for my wages, all I ask is that I earn enough to meet my basic needs.”

“Very well,” Zeke replied with a glance.

“Thank you, Great Marshal!”

Logan looked visibly reluctant.

“Trust me on this, Dad. If we don't do as he asks, it's over for our family. You have no idea about all the things Jared's done to Mr. Williams. Besides, I'd say it's a great privilege to be able to remain connected to the Great Marshal.”

Realization quickly dawned on Logan as he heard that.

Linton Group doesn't have much of a global presence, as far as I know. Hence, if they acquire us, that means Mitxel Group will be their only international business. And if Rhett's the one managing all of Linton Group's overseas affairs, that'd make him the Great Marshal's international spokesperson. You can never put a price on such a role! In fact, with a position like that alone, it wouldn't take much to rebuild Mitxel Group. This is a huge boon for us!
