Chapter 929
Lord Protector Novel
The reason for Conrad to form a union with the Williams family was so that he could take over the Williams family.
It was impossible for him to let go of this opportunity easily.
Lucille was delighted to hear his words. âGood. Iâm relieved to hear this, Mr. Lewis. Let the wedding continue.â
Conrad muttered, âKeep the wedding going. Iâll think of ways to get Ryker out now.â
After leaving the hall, Conrad hurriedly made a call. âSir, please help me.â
The one he was requesting help from was the head of the Luna family, Theodore Luna, who was also Johnâs boss.
The Luna family were royals; they were a tier above wealthy families like the Lewis family and the Williams family.
Hence, Conrad addressed him as Sir, daring not to call him Mr. Luna.
After hearing Conradâs explanation, Theodore uttered plainly, âWhat heâs done is a minor crime. It wonât be a problem.â
Conradâs heart finally came back down from his throat. âThank you very much, Sir.â
Abruptly, Theodore pronounced, âBut youâll have to do me a favor.â
Conrad answered, âSir, do tell me what it is.â
Theodore uttered, âKill Zeke Williams.â
Huh?
Conrad was stunned by his words. âSir, you know Zeke? You have a grudge against him?â
Theodoreâs tone was cold as he gritted out, âDo not ask what you should not know.â
âUnderstood,â Conrad quickly replied, âSir, can I ask for another favor? Could you let Reinz Pharmaceutical open a branch in Atheville? Donât worry. Iâll look for sponsors. All I need will be its name.â
Theodore approved, âNo problem.â
âThank you!â
After ending the call, Conrad had visibly brightened up.
Reinz Pharmaceutical opening a branch in Atheville was his second step in taking over the Williams family.
Meanwhile, after the call, Theodore huffed, âThat Zeke has too great of luck. Even the Lewis family is suffering in his presence. He has not done anything to target me yet. He must not have found out my identity yet. Iâll let the Lewis family entertain him for a while longer.â
Theodore assumed that Zeke had survived until now because of his good luck.
...
The next day.
After Lacey was done with her breakfast, she went to Eurasia Pictures to continue with her business meeting.
Until now, she still did not know that Eurasia Pictures belonged to the Williams family.
Otherwise, she would not have wanted to collaborate with Eurasia Pictures.
Just as Lacey had left, Wolfâs Greed came.
âZeke, major news. Theodore Luna has finally made a move. He came personally to protect Ryker. Do you want me to drag Ryker back myself?â
Zeke was surprised. âOh? I didnât know the Lewis family knows that man from the Luna family. No wonder the Lewis family lasted so long. It turns out theyâre the Luna familyâs pawns. Donât drag him back yet. If the Lewis family is destroyed now, their assets will be confiscated, and I wonât be able to get anything from them. Weâll only deal with them after I get their assets for Lacey.â
Wolfâs Greed nodded. âUnderstood. Also, Zeke, I heard that the Lewis family had requested ten percent of the Williams familyâs shares as the price for your appearance. However, the Lewis family had mentioned no such thing to me yet. I think theyâve taken the shares for themselves.â
Zeke nodded. âOkay. It doesnât matter. Both the Lewis and the Williams family are mine soon. It doesnât matter who takes whose things. Itâll all be mine.â
Wolfâs Greed replied, âUnderstood.â
Just then, Lacey suddenly called Zeke.
When he answered the call, he heard Laceyâs sobs.
Zeke held his breath as he asked urgently, âLacey, whatâs wrong?â
Laceyâs voice was trembling as she murmured, âZeke, come and save me at Eurasia Pictures. Quick.
T... Theyâve trapped me here.â
