Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1315

Clyde ignored Zeke and welcomed Conner enthusiastically, “Hi Mr. Black, please take a seat.”

Conner guffawed, “I will surely support you to win the competition for the position of the Thisleton family leader today. To show my sincerity, I have prepared a gift for you. I hope you will like it.”

Of course, Clyde knew what gift Connor was planning to give him. It must be the Third Military Factory.

Grinning, he replied, “I will be pleased with whatever gift you have prepared for me, even if it is just a feather. So, may I know what you are planning to gift me?”

“The Third Military Factory.”

Everyone in the hall gasped.

Although they had guessed as much, they were still shocked by Conner’s answer. A question ran through their minds.

Clyde and Conner are merely friends. Why will Conner give such a valuable gift to Clyde?

Clyde guffawed, “Thank you for such a valuable gift, Mr. Black. I shall gladly accept the gift then. When shall we sign the transfer agreement?”

“No hurry. I intend to give the factory as a congratulations gift to Ares on his crowning during the grand ceremony. It will also be the icing on the cake for the Thisleton family on that day.”

What?!

Again, everyone gasped and started throwing questions at Clyde.

“Grand ceremony? What grand ceremony is he talking about?”

“Also, why is it related to the Thisleton family and Ares?”

Clyde explained patiently, “Let me be honest with all of you. Actually, my father, Ares, has achieved the ‘King Class’ rank. So, Eurasia wants to hold a grand ceremony to crown him as the King Class warrior.”

The entire Thisleton family was bustling with excitement upon hearing Clyde’s explanation.

The Thisleton family has produced the strongest King Class warrior in Eurasia! The Thisleton family will achieve greater heights now! After the grand ceremony, we will be the most prominent family in Eurasia! No one will dare to hinder our activities in Eurasia again!

Amidst the bustling excitement, some members voiced their objections loudly.

“So, Mr. Black has given us the Third Military Factory because of Ares.”

“That’s right. This has nothing to do with you, Clyde. You cannot consider this as your contribution.”

“That’s right. This is a contribution made by the entire family.”

“We are as qualified as you to the new leader.”

Clyde replied coldly, “Mr. Black will not give such a valuable gift to me if I don’t know him. Although I can’t claim the entire credit for acquiring the Third Military Factory, you cannot deny my contribution in driving this matter.”

Everyone nodded, seemingly absorbed in their own thoughts.

Clyde is right.

Actually, the Thisleton family is a rank lower than the Prince’s Residence.

We are not even fit to befriend Connor Black. Indeed, Clyde is rather capable to be able to become friends with him.

Everyone fell silent, acknowledging Clyde’s contributions in this matter.

Clyde turned to Lacey again, “What contributions have you made which can measure up to the fact that I have acquired the Third Military Factory? If not, then I will assume the position of the leader.”

Lacey was silent, her eyes downcast.

I have never contributed to the Thisleton family, much less a significant contribution equivalent to acquiring the Third Military Factory.

She was about to give up when Zeke cut her off.

“Do you mean that whoever acquires the Third Military Factory will be the leader of the Thisleton family?”

Actually, I am the one who will be crowned as the King Class warrior instead of Ares. If Conner really gifts me the military factory during the grand ceremony, then the person helping the Thisleton family to acquire the factory will be Lacey.
