Kapitel 165: Chapter 165: Rich Rewards
Facing the various offensives of these elders and ministers, Zeke was speechless.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but I have a fiancée! It's Gael you saw at my house last time. She will be the wife I'm marrying in the future."
Zeke said directly.
Everyone was startled.
"It doesn't matter! You are the kingdom's great hero. It's a good thing to match beauty with a hero. So it's not bad for you to find a few more."
"That's right! Elder Zeke, you are still young and one of the few elders in the kingdom. How can you show your prestige? Naturally, the more, the better."
"Elder Zeke, I have sixteen wives and more than fifty people in my family. You are of high power and prestige. You should spread more branches and leaves and add more outstanding descendants like you to our kingdom."
"..."
However, Zeke's words are useless. In the Phoenix Kingdom, polygamy of nobles is reasonable, let alone Zeke's position as an elder. His reputation and prestige are so high, let alone a few, as long as he can bear it, even a dozen or twenty is expected.
If it were a little more, the people would be amazed at Zeke's "personal ability".
Facing the enthusiasm of the elders and ministers, Zeke had a headache.
"The King is here!"
Suddenly, the soldiers guarding outside shouted, and the clamor of all the elders and ministers quickly subsided. Instead, they all faced the palace's second floor, bent over, and greeted the king's arrival with the highest etiquette.
And the twelve elders in charge of decision-making are still standing. Each has a high position and has made outstanding contributions to the Phoenix Kingdom. Besides Zeke, they all belong to Grace's faction, so there was no need to bow, just a slight nod to show respect for the king.
Zeke didn't even have a chin in the capital, so he just looked at the gorgeous staircase not far away. Grace wore a platinum crown and a stunning and elegant blue gilt dress. Going down slowly, Grace noticed Zeke at first sight.
Zeke was wearing a custom-made suit today, with a burly and tall figure, and his youthful and energetic temperament stood out in the crowd. They wouldn't doubt it if he was a prince from a different country.
However, when Grace saw Zeke, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and a trace of unpleasantness appeared in her eyes.
"This look... how did I offend her?"
Zeke raised his brows.
After taking the super soldier serum, Zeke's eyesight was as good as a telescope. Grace's small and subtle expressions could not escape his eyes. It was just her expression that made him quite puzzled.
Soon, Grace stopped on the stair landing between the second and first floor and glanced at everyone below with a slightly majestic gaze.
"I'm delighted to have everyone here today."
"I believe everyone should understand the main purpose of today's banquet."
"More than a month ago, more than a dozen world powers united and imposed severe economic sanctions on our kingdom. As a result, the economy was hit hard for a whole month and suffered serious losses, and it once showed a recession trend. You might have already experienced it."
The elders, ministers, and nobles below all nodded deeply.
"But just today, the world powers have lifted all economic blockades against our kingdom and have finally gotten out of the predicament. So here, on behalf of the kingdom, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you."
Grace bowed deeply to everyone.
The elders and ministers also hurriedly returned their salutes.
"Of course, as the hero who has made the greatest contribution this time and helped us out of the predicament, it is Elder Zeke."
"It was he who created the controllable nuclear fusion hydrogen bomb, which gave us the qualification to compete with other world powers, and the right to fight back under such huge economic sanctions. As a result, he has regained his dignity and won glory for the kingdom."
"Here, I express my most sincere thanks to you. Thank you."
Grace turned to Zeke and bowed deeply.
The other elders and ministers also changed their direction and bowed to Zeke.
Zeke stood on the spot without any restraint or flattery. These are all that he deserves.
"Elder Zeke, as a major contributor to this incident, you should receive corresponding gifts and awards."
"On the title, your elder seat will be directly promoted from the seventh elder to the second elder. Second only to me, the prime minister, under the first elder."
"In terms of money, I believe that you won't care too much about that reward with your financial resources. But to express my sincerity, a villa property originally controlled by the royal family covers an area of about 980,000 square meters. I will give it all to your name forever."
"In addition, I can fulfill one of your requirements within the scope of not exceeding the law and moral justice."
"Elder Zeke, now you can make your request."
Grace looked at Zeke with burning eyes.
All the envious eyes of the audience all fell on Zeke.
The permanent reward of the villa area is equivalent to the division of fiefs in ancient times. It's just that there is not as much power as before. Zeke only has a permanent piece of land.
However, it was the direct promotion from the seventh elder to the second elder. This was something they didn't expect.
The elders' titles in the decision-making committee are not too different, it is a matter of numbers, but there is also a situation of "superior control".
With top management, there is naturally a primary and secondary distinction, so even if you become an elder, it does not necessarily mean that you have reached the end of your official road. On the contrary, there is still room to continue climbing.
But now Zeke has suddenly become the second elder, forcibly squeezed out the original second elder, and he holds more power. In addition to his current prestige and popularity, he has surpassed the first elder and the prime minister. Deron can almost be on an equal footing with the king.
If Zeke's situation is put into ancient times, let alone the reward, his life will be set if he doesn't die.
Prestige and military force are so mighty that they can threaten the empire and the emperor. So if one day you want to be an emperor and want to play, doesn't the empire have to change the dynasty?
In this case, how could an ordinary king still allow you to exist?
From this, it can be seen how sincere Grace's reward this time is and how sufficient her trust in him is.

Kapitel 166: Chapter 166: Grace’s Curiosity
"Second Elder?!"
Zeke was also surprised. Although he didn't care much about the meaning of these powers, it didn't mean he didn't understand.
There is a massive gap between the second and seventh elders, and some elders may not even be able to take a step forward in their entire life. However, Grace directly promoted him to the second elder when he came up, which alone is enough to explain her sincerity and trust in him.
But if you think about it, you can understand.
From when a thousand Iron Man came out, Zeke had already possessed enough strength to fight against the kingdom. As long as he was willing, destroying the kingdom might be a little complicated, but it would not be difficult for it to fall apart.
Especially after the creation of super soldiers, controllable nuclear fusion hydrogen bombs, and warp drives, which are eviler than each other. If Zeke hints at a revolt, he will overthrow the king that day.
Gregoryo was just a Royal Duke, but he was almost able to usurp the throne from Grace. Not to mention, Gregoryo and Zeke's powers are not in the same order of magnitude.
Under such circumstances, unless there is something wrong with Grace's brain, how could she suppress him?
On the contrary, Zeke's popularity and prestige are now so high that he is like a sun and a beacon of the Phoenix Kingdom. As long as he is there, the people will have a perfect heroic example, a person who can make them proud. So she let him get a higher position, win the respect of more people, and stabilize the people's hearts of the kingdom. Moreover, Grace knew Zeke was not interested in politics and power. So taking the initiative to provoke Zeke is even more nonsense.
So, in this case, even if Zeke's status is as high as her, she is very relieved.
"Thank you for the reward from Your Majesty. As for the request. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll mention it to you when I think about it."
Zeke said directly.
He is now the Phoenix Kingdom's richest man, his power has reached its peak, and he has no shortage of money and power. But, at this level, he doesn't have anything in particular.
"Okay, when you think about it, you can bring it up to me anytime."
Grace nodded.
"Come on, let's raise a toast for the kingdom's rebirth, and celebrate the smooth management of Elder Zeke's press conference today."
"Cheers!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
As everyone drank their glass of wine, the atmosphere in the audience gradually warmed up.
Grace waved her hand, the brilliant lights came on, melodious music came out, and everyone began to enjoy this wonderful banquet on their own.
She walked down the stairs gracefully step by step, gently clinking glasses with the elders and ministers and chatting.
"Zeke."
Soon, Grace came to Zeke. Her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. She gently handed out a wine glass, clinked the wine glass in Zeke's hand, and took a sip of the red wine.
"Your Majesty, your reward today is beyond my expectations."
Zeke smiled and took a sip of red wine.
"This is what you deserve."
Grace said softly, "It's you who brought more surprises every time. The Al-Qaeda incident, the Phoenix military exercise, and the economic sanctions incident. These incidents are all because of you. You have helped the kingdom save its dignity many times, and today you have solved its desperate crisis. I can't think of rewards that match your credit, so that's all for now."
"You still have one wish that you haven't made. So when you think about it, let me know what you want. But don't forget, it must be legal and ethical."
"Don't worry, as a human being. Your Majesty should know very well, right? It must be very legal and ethical."
Zeke smiled.
"By the way, just before the banquet, many military commanders came to me and wanted to apply for the kingdom to fund the purchase of your warp drive. So I decided to buy 10 for the first batch."
"However, the price of $500 million is still a bit too expensive, and the military academy transmits a lot of items, and the demand for energy chips must be huge. I hope you can give a discount for the kingdom's sake."
Grace took a sip of red wine and glanced at Zeke.
"No problem."
Zeke said cheerily, "I will give you the cost price then. However, due to the relatively high production cost of the energy chips, we can only reluctantly give a 20% discount for it."
"Oh? How much does the warp drive cost?"
There was curiosity in Grace's eyes.
"$100 million."
"$100 million...Zeke, you really know how to do business."
Grace sighed with emotion.
In fact, Zeke did not disclose the truth.
The actual cost of the warp drive is $20 million, of which 10 million is still used to buy the price of starry sky steel.
Therefore, he can earn $480 million, plus an energy chip with almost no cost, which can be called an enormous profit.
But who is the only person in the world who can do this thing?
With technology, you can do whatever you want.
"In addition, it is not only our kingdom who wants to buy warp drives, but also the king of Tonda Empire, Biblandi, who just called and said that he wants to buy ten warp drives as their main means of transportation. They can't contact you, so I have no choice but to let you know. They are a big oil exporter, and transportation is their second most developed industry. Your warp drive is attractive to them. So Biblandi asked me to keep 10 for them when you go public."
Grace continued.
"Just because the Tonda Empire didn't make our kingdom suffer worse in this economic sanction, no problem."
Zeke nodded and agreed.
The Tonda Empire is also one of the world's powerhouses. If it had also done something against the Phoenix Kingdom and cut off the oil supply, the kingdom's situation might have been more difficult.
Moreover, the Tonda Empire is also helping him complete the system tasks on the side. Isn't it just ten warp drives? Why not do it?
"Your Majesty, who else wants to buy a warp drive? Just tell me in one breath, I'll reserve it for them at my discretion."
Zeke said.
"There is, but I don't need to convey it on purpose."
Grace's eyes flickered, and she said casually, "What I'm more curious about is, how are you going to solve your marriage?"
"What?"
The turn was too big, and Zeke was stunned.
