Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2422

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!

“Since you've taken an interest in Mitxel Group, I'd be more than happy to let you have it, Mr. Williams,” he offered immediately.

Then, Zeke's fiery gaze fell on Jared once more, causing the latter to shiver in fright.

“You'll atone for what you've done to Eurasia with your life.”

The smell of urine filled the air as Jared gave an intense shudder.

“Please forgive me, Great Marshal. I don't want to die!” he begged. “I'll do whatever you ask. Just don't kill me!”

“This is what you get for insulting my country. You have no right to ask for forgiveness,” Zeke declared before turning to Rhett. “Rhett Mitxel, I leave this to you. When you're done, toss his body down into Unholy Valley. You may retrieve his bones and bring them back to the country after ten years.”

Giving the Mitxel family such an order and having them dispose of their own kin was one of Zeke's ways of punishing them.
