In this way, under the stunned and ghost-like expressions of many reporters, Lucy followed the security guard and entered the building openly.
When she took the elevator to the top floor of the 88th floor and stood at the door of Room 8888 according to the security's instructions, she took a deep breath and reached out to ring the doorbell.
But before the doorbell was pressed, the door opened.
Lucy was taken aback because she was nervous.
"Come in."
At this time, Zeke's voice came over.
Lucy's heartbeat accelerated.
She has watched Zeke's video over and over so many times these days, how could she not recognize his voice?
She walked in nervously, and soon, she saw Zeke who was drinking red wine in the living room while browsing something in his notebook.
"Lucy, this name is good, sit down."
Zeke raised his head, smiled, and gestured.
Although Lucy had seen Zeke countless times in the video, when she saw him so close, she still blushed in shyness.
If those colleagues in the security bureau saw this scene, their jaws would drop in shock... Lucy, who never knew what shyness was, turned out to be so shy that her face turned red.
"Thanks."
Lucy bowed to Zeke, "Thank you for saving me at the bank last time."
"It's just a small matter, don't be so polite!"
Zeke waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, I only brought this fruit, I hope you don't mind."
Lucy put down the fruit and sat on the sofa, looking very cautious, not knowing where to put her hands.
"Do you know why I let you up?"
Zeke asked while pouring red wine.
"Why?"
Lucy also wanted to know the answer.
"Because when you were at the gate of the bank, pointing on your head were guns by several robbers, and your life was threatened, but you didn't shout or be particularly afraid... Such a girl is rare."
Zeke put a glass of red wine in front of her and said with a smile, "Of course, more importantly, you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met."
Hearing this comment, Lucy's face turned red again after finally recovering.
"Sir, here comes the king."
Jarvis' voice suddenly sounded, startling Lucy.
"Don't worry, this is my voice intelligence system."
Zeke smiled and said, "Jarvis, this is a special guest, of course, you can't turn her away, let her in."
"Is there an important guest coming?"
Seeing this, Lucy quickly stood up and prepared to leave.
"No, she's not a very important guest."
"Stay in your seat."
Zeke laughed.
After a while, the door opened automatically, and Grace and Prime Minister Deron walked in.
"Huh! Your Majesty, have you just attended an important banquet?"
Zeke's eyes lit up when he saw Grace.
Today's Grace is very different from when she came to his house before. Instead of the conservative professional king's dress before, she put on a long red and white dress.
And because of Grace's natural beauty, she didn't know how to dress up, but this time, she was uncharacteristically dressed. She even put on a little makeup, which made her look more delicate and beautiful than before.
Of course, Zeke didn't know that she was specially dressed up before coming to his house, and it took a lot of time for this.
"Can't I dress like this even if there is no party?"
Grace glanced at Zeke, and then her eyes fell on Lucy.
Lucy, herself has a beautiful appearance, and her arrogance is not inferior to Grace, but she usually does not dress up as a police officer.
Compared with the current Grace, it is naturally one point worse.
"I have seen Her Majesty the King. Your Excellency Prime Minister."
When Lucy saw that the people who came were the king and the prime minister, she immediately bowed her head and saluted.
"Who is this..."
"Lucy, my friend."
Zeke said generously, "Your Majesty the King, Lord Deron, is there anything I can do for you?"
"This time I'm here to send you good news."
Prime Minister Deron laughed.
"Oh?"
When Zeke heard that Prime Minister Deron called him "you", he suddenly smelled something incredible.
"There are 2.5 billion dollars in this card, and the password is your birthday."
Grace handed Zeke a red-gold bank card.
"Her Majesty the King is refreshing."
Zeke accepted the red and gold card...and made 2.5 billion US dollars in one wave.
"This is your noble medal and all the supporting documents, all of which have been signed and stamped by the royal family. From now on, you are the seventh elder of the council of elders."
"The Council of Elders?!"
Zeke was quite surprised when he heard this.
Of course, he knew at the council of elders that it was the place where Phoenix Kingdom's national policy was decided. Those who could appear there were either extremely old or had made great contributions to the Phoenix Kingdom.
Being an elder means you would have almost unparalleled power.
However, Grace gave him one of the positions anyways.
"Congratulations, Elder Zeke."
Prime Minister Deron congratulated, "You should be the youngest elder since the establishment of Phoenix Kingdom!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the King."
Zeke thanked Grace.
Council of Elders.
He originally thought that Grace would at most give himself a noble title that looked bluffing, but had little power... just like his former prince title.
But Zeke never thought that Grace would make him an elder of the council of elders.
There are a total of 12 elders in the council, and each of them is a powerful figure. Zeke has become an elder now, which means that he has become an even bigger man with greater power.
"Don't be happy too soon."
"Country J has already responded to what the second uncle said before his death."
Grace said with an expressionless face.
"What's the response?"
"They only have one sentence: A strong country never needs to explain to a weak institution."
