Chapter - 1310

“Don’t worry, Zeke. You can count on me to carry out your instructions perfectly. Oh yes, this is your phone.”

Before leaving the nation, Zeke had handed all his personal belongings, including his phone, to Wolf’s Greed for safekeeping. He could not risk bringing any personal belongings, which might leak confidential information, out of the nation.

Zeke took the phone, “Who tried to contact me just now?”

“The colonel gave you a call to congratulate you on your victorious return just now. He will announce to the whole world to crown you as the King Class warrior tomorrow .”

“Mm.” Zeke nodded his head calmly.

To be crowned as a King Class warrior might be a tremendous honor to most people, but Zeke did not care for the title.

“Oh yes, Zeke. Lacey called you just now. But I did not pick up the call to keep your whereabouts confidential.”

Zeke sighed, “She must be looking for me to attend the auction. I’m so sorry I have let her down this time. Wolf’s Greed, how did the auction of the Third Military Factory go?”

“I just received news that Connor had won the bid for the Third Military Factory.”

He proceeded to tell Zeke about what had transpired during the auction.

After a moment of silence, Zeke replied, “Okay, that’s fine. I will force him to return the factory to me eventually. In this way, I will save a lot of money too. Let’s go to Atheville now.”

In the Thisleton Manor in Atheville.

The hall of the Thisleton Manor was packed with over a hundred core members of the Thisleton family.

On normal days, they were scattered throughout the nation, and some were even sent abroad to manage various family businesses.

But all of them had made time to attend the family’s celebration today.

Lacey was assigned to a seat in an isolated corner upon her arrival.

But she did not mind. After all, she was not interested in the celebration, thus she was more than glad to sit in an isolated area where no one would disturb her.

Once everyone was seated, the acting leader of the Thisleton family, Clyde Thisleton, went on the stage. Clyde was put in charge of all Thisleton family matters before a new leader was selected.

Although his hands were maimed by Zeke, he was still highly regarded among the family members.

Everyone fell silent the moment he appeared on the stage.

“Great, everyone’s here. Let us begin the competition for a new leader. The rules are the same: Regardless of your age and seniority, you are eligible to be the leader if you have made tremendous contributions to the family. Now, let me recount my contributions.”

Clyde started to recount the contributions he made last year to everyone.

Lastly, he said, “Next, I will acquire the Linton Group and the Third Military Factory. They will become one of our family businesses.”

An audible gasp was heard among the rest of the family members.

Setting the Linton Group aside, acquiring the Third Military Factory itself was a significant contribution. Clyde could ride on it to be the family leader for a few consecutive years.

There were quite a few military officers in the family, thus they knew the significance of owning a military factory.

Just when everyone was in a state of agitation, Lacey stood up and voiced her objection loudly, “I don’t agree.”

All eyes fell on her.

Clyde retorted in a cold tone, “You are a member of the Thisleton family. Your property belongs to the Thisleton family. What rights do you have to object?”

“The Linton Group is set up by Zeke and I. Zeke owns the majority of the company shares. Furthermore, the Thisleton family has never helped us before. What rights do you have to acquire the Linton Group?”
