Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1473

The burly man broke down on the spot.

If he were found guilty of the crimes that Tim had stated, the former would spend the rest of his life in jail.

He quickly begged, “Mr. Gunn, please listen to me. Please give me another chance. I will forgo all my assets just for a chance...”

Nevertheless, the soldiers still dragged him away.

When the burly man realized that his fate was sealed, he cussed at Mary.

This is all her fault. She destroyed my life! The old saying was right. Women really are nothing but trouble.

The burly man secretly made a promise to himself that he would kill Mary if it were the last thing he would do!

The last hope that Mary harbored had fallen with the burly man. She was devastated, now that he had even turned against her.

She got down on her knees to beg Lacey.

The other traitorous employees went down on their knees as well.

“Ms. Hinton, we were in the wrong. Please forgive us for our mistake and give us one last chance.”

“We promise we will work hard for the company. It’s fine even if we don’t get paid...”

Zeke looked at Lacey worriedly, afraid that she would change her mind.

However, Lacey stood her ground. “Linton Group will be working with the government to build an aircraft carrier. This project is top-secret, and its success, which depends on its confidentiality, will determine the fate of the country. Since you have all betrayed the Linton Group before, there is no telling whether you will betray the country as well. So please leave right away. I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to sabotage this project!”

The employees left shamefully with their heads down.

Meanwhile, Zeke grinned in admiration.

This girl may be soft-hearted, but she has principles. She can be quite resolute when it involves the country’s interests.

Tim then added, “Ms. Hinton, since you will be responsible for this project, you may need a lot of resources. How about this? I will let you replace me as the head of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce so that you can allocate the organization’s resources as you please.”

Huh? W-What the...

Lacey was flabbergasted.

Every member of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce was a powerful figure in the country, and they were all qualified to be Lacey’s mentors.

Lacey didn’t think that she was even good enough to be their mentee.

And you want me to be the leader of these powerful men?

The idea sounded outrageous to Lacey.

Before she had the chance to reject it, Tim said, “Well, since Ms. Hinton didn’t decline the offer, I’ll just assume that you’re on board with it. Okay, then it’s settled. Ms. Hinton will be the head of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce from today onwards, and every member must unconditionally listen to her.”

After saying his piece, Tim fled the scene as if he was worried about Lacey changing her mind.

After soying his piece, Tim fled the scene os if he wos worried obout Locey chonging her mind.

The members of the Atheville Chomber of Commerce gothered oround to butter Locey up. Everyone wonted to be port of the oircroft corrier project, ond they were even willing to do it for free.

Insteod of the profit thot would be generoted from the project, they were more interested in the stoture they would goin.

It wos much more voluoble thon the profit of the project.

Locey didn’t woste ony time ond ossembled the project teom on the spot.

She would speorheod the project herself ond communicote with the government on beholf of everyone.

Zeke wosn’t poying ottention ot work, though.

He wos still preoccupied with the Demon Sloyers.

Those ossossins threotened the lives of Eurosio’s prominent figures, ond the country would remoin in donger until the Demon Sloyers were deolt with.

Although Zeke hod tried every possible method to investigote the Demon Sloyers, it wos os though those ossossins hod vonished from the foce of the Eorth.

They couldn’t even find o hint os to who those ossossins were, let olone their whereobouts.


After saying his piece, Tim fled the scene as if he was worried about Lacey changing her mind.

The members of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce gathered around to butter Lacey up. Everyone wanted to be part of the aircraft carrier project, and they were even willing to do it for free.

Instead of the profit that would be generated from the project, they were more interested in the stature they would gain.

It was much more valuable than the profit of the project.

Lacey didn’t waste any time and assembled the project team on the spot.

She would spearhead the project herself and communicate with the government on behalf of everyone.

Zeke wasn’t paying attention at work, though.

He was still preoccupied with the Demon Slayers.

Those assassins threatened the lives of Eurasia’s prominent figures, and the country would remain in danger until the Demon Slayers were dealt with.

Although Zeke had tried every possible method to investigate the Demon Slayers, it was as though those assassins had vanished from the face of the Earth.

They couldn’t even find a hint as to who those assassins were, let alone their whereabouts.
