When all his limbs were crippled by the Great Marshal, he thought to himself that he would become a useless person and would have to beg for food for the rest of his life.
What he didn’t expect was that today, Ares wanted his service again.
Ares even let him be in charge of the military factory.
This was his second chance!
However, he remained calm and said, “Sir, I-I am a cripple.”
“Many people would not be convinced of my abilities if I were to manage the military factory.”
Ares replied, “Do not worry, for I will restore your limbs.”
What?
Julian was so excited that he almost burst into tears. “Sir, will my body be able to recover?”
Ares nodded and answered, “Of course.”
“I am a King Class warrior. As long as I can get my hands on some Spirit Stones, it is within my capability to restore your limbs to normal.”
Everyone was overjoyed and gave their congratulations.
Clyde once told them that Ares was the number one King Class warrior in Eurasia.
However, as time passed, all sorts of evidence showed that he was not the first King Class warrior.
They once doubted his abilities, but there was nothing to argue about now as Ares himself admitted that he was a King Class warrior.
Julian said, “Sir, as we all know, the Spirit Stone mine is guarded by King Class warriors.”
“Since you’re the one guarding it, it would be presumably easy to get your hands on the Spirit Stone.”
Ares shook his head instead and said, “Incorrect.”
“The number one King Class warrior guarding the Spirit Stone mine that you are referring to is not me. ‘
“I just became a King Class warrior, and only all of you here and I know about this matter. Eurasia hasn’t officially crowned me the title.”
The crowd was shocked.
Julian then asked, “What you were saying is that there are two King Class warriors in Eurasia?”
Ares nodded.
The crowd was surprised but unperturbed.
It didn’t matter who came first or second - what mattered was that he was a King Class warrior.
In their minds, all King Class warriors possessed the same capabilities.
Ares said, “I believe nobody has any opinion on my decision earlier, is that right?”
“Let’s end this meeting if there are no objections.”
“Wait,” Lacey anxiously piped up, “Sir, the Third Military Factory and Linton Group are currently merging, and it’s going smoothly.”
“It would be a hassle if there were a sudden change to the person in charge of the Third Military Factory. Moreover, it increases the risk for accidents to happen.”
Ares nodded, as if deep in thought, and responded, “What you just said is right.”
“Let’s do it this way, then. Julian, you’ll be in charge of Linton Group as well. Things would be much easier if the same person were to manage both enterprises.”
Oh!
Lacey turned pale.
Ares didn’t just want to seize the military factory, but he also planned to take over Linton Group.
She couldn’t let that happen.
She immediately opposed, “Sir, I object!”
“Shut up,” Ares snapped angrily, “I’m now the leader of the Thisleton family, and I have the final say on everything.”
“You would be punished for disobeying your leader if you don’t agree to this.”
The crowd was elated.
Haha, Sir made a wise choice, well done!
Lacey, the mixed breed, is not worthy of being part of the Thisleton family.
But what they didn’t know was that Ares was planning to turn the Thisleton Manor into the Prince’s Residence and take over everything, including them.
Connor wanted to make the Thisletons slaves of the Prince’s Residence for centuries to come.
Lacey went home feeling depressed as she had a terrible day.
She not only lost her place as the leader of the Thisleton family, but Ares also had his eye on the military factory and the Linton Group.
She felt wronged and she didn’t understand why Ares had changed so much after only leaving for a year.
Now, she just wanted to rest and not think of anything.
She was exhausted from all the work in the company lately.
She fell asleep unknowingly.
Just as she fell asleep, Zeke came back.
He too had just finished his work.
