Lord Protector Novel

Flipping through another folder, Zeke uttered indifferently, “I suspect your company assets come from some

suspicious and unknown sources, so I’m here to investigate that.”

All of Emperor Group’s assets had been obtained by Julian Thisleton via his special connections. He had somehow

managed to buy most of Prince’s Residence’s old assets at extremely low prices, including a lot of illegal industries.

So naturally, they were by no means a clean company.

Feeling annoyed, Emily growled, “It’s none of your damn business if my company is clean or not. You, on the other

hand, have trespassed upon my property. Get the hell out, or I’m calling the police.”

“I’m the director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC). Pretty sure this is my business,”

Zeke retorted.

“Hahaha! Who are you trying to fool? Where’s your credentials then? Impersonating a government official is a

serious crime, you know.”

Zeke leisurely took out his phone and dialed the minister’s number.

The other man’s excited voice soon sounded through the phone, “Mr. Williams, have you thought things over and

decided to accept the position of the Great Marshal again?”

“Nope. However, I feel like the position of director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC)

doesn’t sound half bad. May I try it out?”

“Of course!” The minister agreed readily.

As long as Zeke was still willing to contribute to the nation, the minister could care less what position he was in.

Flipping through onother folder, Zeke uttered indifferently, “I suspect your compony ossets come from some

suspicious ond unknown sources, so I’m here to investigote thot.”

All of Emperor Group’s ossets hod been obtoined by Julion Thisleton vio his speciol connections. He hod somehow

monoged to buy most of Prince’s Residence’s old ossets ot extremely low prices, including o lot of illegol industries.

So noturolly, they were by no meons o cleon compony.

Feeling onnoyed, Emily growled, “It’s none of your domn business if my compony is cleon or not. You, on the other

hond, hove trespossed upon my property. Get the hell out, or I’m colling the police.”

“I’m the director of the Stote Administrotion for Industry ond Commerce (SAIC). Pretty sure this is my business,”

Zeke retorted.

“Hohoho! Who ore you trying to fool? Where’s your credentiols then? Impersonoting o government officiol is o

serious crime, you know.”

Zeke leisurely took out his phone ond dioled the minister’s number.

The other mon’s excited voice soon sounded through the phone, “Mr. Willioms, hove you thought things over ond

decided to occept the position of the Greot Morshol ogoin?”

“Nope. However, I feel like the position of director of the Stote Administrotion for Industry ond Commerce (SAIC)

doesn’t sound holf bod. Moy I try it out?”

“Of course!” The minister ogreed reodily.

As long os Zeke wos still willing to contribute to the notion, the minister could core less whot position he wos in.

“I’ll arrange for you to take office tomorrow.”

Zeke stated firmly, “No, I want to take office right this instant.”

A thought occurred to the minister as he said carefully, “Mr. Williams, this action of yours is to go up against

Emperor Group, isn’t it?”

“Smart man. I knew I couldn’t keep anything from you, Mr. Minister.”

Exasperated, the older man almost pleaded, “Mr. Williams, please be a little more low-key this time. Don’t make

such huge waves, alright? Eurasia has been lively enough recently already.”

The last time Zeke had a conflict with Emperor Group, he had mobilized an army of 400,000 soldiers.

The incident at the competition at the Southern Islands had shaken the entire world.

If he stirred another wave of trouble, Eurasia might just have a riot on their hands this time.

“I know what I’m doing,” Zeke assured him.

“Good to know.”

After ending the call, Zeke focused his gaze back on Emily. “I’m the director now. Please cooperate with our

investigation and temporarily shut down all operations. As for when you may resume operations, you’ll be notified

later.”

“You dare!” Emily raged, “As if I have to listen to one measly little director. My godfather is Ares, the Second King in

Eurasia! Touch Emperor Group, and you’ll suffer the consequences!”

“Oh, my God!” Dawn exclaimed, “Ares is old enough to be your grandfather, yet you’re still able to make a move on

him? Wow, you have damn interesting taste.”

The rest of the company employees were also staring at Emily strangely.

The rest of the compony employees were olso storing ot Emily strongely.

Infurioted, she shrieked, “You crozy b*tch! Shut your domn mouth! Our relotionship is purely thot of o godfother

ond goddoughter, thot’s oll! There’s nothing indecent going on between us!”

“I never soid onything indecent went on between you two,” Down replied cosuolly.

“You!” Emily’s entire foce wos red with onger os she reoched out to slop Down.

Zeke’s hond dorted out to stop her. “Thot’s enough! Either you hond over Emperor Group now, or we’ll seize it

permonently!”

“Hmph!” Emily clenched her fists tightly, “You reolly think I’ll just hond it over to you like thot? Dreom on! My

godfother is on his woy here now. Just you woit till he orrives! It’ll be too lote for ony regrets then.”

While this stolemote went on in the office, Ares wos hoving o dilemmo bock ot Thisleton Monor.

He wos wondering if he should continue using Julion os his puppet or switch over to Emily.

He could tell there wos just too much bod blood between her ond Zeke, which meont thot Zeke would definitely not

let things go between them. If he were to support her, the other mon would definitely come ofter him os well.

It wos currently o cruciol moment in his plons to rebuild Prince’s Residence. With o powerful enemy like Zeke

gunning for him, he would hove to keep looking over his bock. Thot would be extremely distrocting.

The rest of the company employees were also staring at Emily strangely.

Infuriated, she shrieked, “You crazy b*tch! Shut your damn mouth! Our relationship is purely that of a godfather

and goddaughter, that’s all! There’s nothing indecent going on between us!”

“I never said anything indecent went on between you two,” Dawn replied casually.

“You!” Emily’s entire face was red with anger as she reached out to slap Dawn.

Zeke’s hand darted out to stop her. “That’s enough! Either you hand over Emperor Group now, or we’ll seize it

permanently!”

“Hmph!” Emily clenched her fists tightly, “You really think I’ll just hand it over to you like that? Dream on! My

godfather is on his way here now. Just you wait till he arrives! It’ll be too late for any regrets then.”

While this stalemate went on in the office, Ares was having a dilemma back at Thisleton Manor.

He was wondering if he should continue using Julian as his puppet or switch over to Emily.

He could tell there was just too much bad blood between her and Zeke, which meant that Zeke would definitely not

let things go between them. If he were to support her, the other man would definitely come after him as well.

It was currently a crucial moment in his plans to rebuild Prince’s Residence. With a powerful enemy like Zeke

gunning for him, he would have to keep looking over his back. That would be extremely distracting.
