Ch. 2301..2310
Life at the Top Chapter 2301-Where can they go? The ruins of the Hanging Gardens are enough to keep them busy for a whole day.”
Hearing this, Yves hurried out the door.
His original plan was to follow Ludwig the entire way to determine the other party’s route. That way, he could arrange everything in advance when the time was right.
At that time, when Yves got rid of everyone, the local police would not be able to find him even if they came. The only suspect would be the boss, Osdin. However, he had already fallen behind before he could implement his plan. Although Yves was very regretful, he also knew at this moment that he could only catch up.
On the other side, Ludwig had already taken Abraham and Morine to the ruins of the Hanging Gardens.
One would not feel anything looking at the legendary historical relics in books. Only once one was really here could they feel the weight of history.
Compared with Richard, Morine was even more emotional.
Ludwig saw that Morine had even entered a state of ecstasy, so he took the opportunity to chat with Abraham.
“You didn’t sleep well last night, right? You’ve worked hard…” Ludwig chuckled when he saw Abraham yawning.
“I’m fine, Richard, this is a habit I have developed over the years,” Abraham waved his hand and said.
“By the way, I received a strange call on the landline in my room last night,” Ludwig said suddenly. “The caller only told me to be careful before hanging up.”
As soon as Ludwig said this, Abraham was of course a little surprised. He stayed up all night to prevent any accidents from happening, but he was sure nothing happened last night.
“Even if you don’t know who made the call, only the front desk can make calls inside the hotel. Just ask the hotel owner.”
Ludwig nodded in agreement. “No problem, that’s exactly what I’m planning to do…”
“Okay then. Let’s go back when Miss Maynard has enough fun.”
After Ludwig finished speaking, Abraham suddenly shook his head. “No, on the contrary, I don’t think this call is groundless. In fact, we are likely to be under enemy surveillance.”
Upon seeing Abraham’s serious face, Ludwig also knew that Abraham was not lying.
“What are you saying?”
“From now on, just think of that call as real. Richard, you continue taking Miss Maynard around. I will return to the hotel as quickly as possible to ask the boss about the situation.”
According to Abraham’s analysis, it seemed that only parting ways would be the best choice at present.
“Okay. We’ll proceed according to your plan.” Abraham nodded and left without looking back.
He was heading straight for the restroom. His behavior and habits would guarantee the safety of the three of them in the future. Because about three minutes ago, Yves rushed over to have a look and finally discovered the whereabouts of Ludwig and others.
He immediately found a hidden place, took out the binoculars he carried with him, and continued to observe secretly. Yves also spotted Abraham going to the restroom and thought it was nothing extraordinary.
In reality, Abraham did not have to use the restroom. Instead, he had already run back to the hotel.
When Abraham came back, he asked at the front desk. “Where’s your boss?”
“Our boss is upstairs in his office…”
The receptionist at the front desk showed Abraham the way, and he also ran upstairs immediately. However, before he entered the door, Abraham remained vigilant. He stretched out his hand to push the door open, but his body dodged aside.
Life at the Top Chapter 2302-Indeed, when Ludwig opened the door, he saw Osdin pointing a gun at him. However, since Ludwig managed to dodge, Osdin did not shoot him in his vital regions.
While Osdin was re-aiming, Ludwig kicked him and sent him flying.
Osdin fell heavily to the ground. When he was struggling to get up, his gun fell into Ludwig’s hand and was pointing at his own head.
“Don’t… Don’t shoot…”
“You want me to not shoot you now, huh? Then why did you aim it at me when I opened the door?”
Osdin sighed emotionally when Ludwig asked him that. After that, he told the truth.
Osdin told Ludwig that he accidentally overheard Yves’ conversation. Not only did he know that Yves was going to take action against Astor and the others, but even Osdin’s name was included in the plan.
Osdin panicked instantly and could only choose to find a way to protect himself. Therefore, he instructed the front desk to lead anyone who came to him directly upstairs.
Osdin would be ready by then.
It did not matter who opened the door. Osdin would choose to strike first. Ludwig finally understood when Osdin confessed that this had been instigated by Yves.
“In other words, this was all a ploy from the beginning, including the Somerland tour guide Milo?” Ludwig asked and Osdin nodded quickly.
“Yes, Yves instructed me to do this… The tour guide is from Meleya. He only knows Somerish so he often pretends to be a Somerlander.”
At this time, Ludwig felt a little remorseful. He did not expect to fall into the other party’s trap.
“Since you’re all instructed by Yves, why should I believe what you say?”
“B-Because of this!”
Ludwig saw Osdin pull a red phone out of a drawer.
“This is equivalent to the main phone, and I have connected it to a line from the front desk. That way I can answer all the hotel room calls. That’s why I was able to overhear the conversation between Yves and Miss Bella. I still have the recording!”
Osdin played the recording directly, and Ludwig chose to believe him after listening to it.
“I see. Are you saying you want to leave the dark side now?”
“That’s right, I never dreamed that Yves would want to kill me as well. If I hadn’t secretly drugged Yves’s steak last night, he would have started following you early in the morning! I really want to atone for my crimes. As long as you can protect my safety, I will say yes to everything you ask from me!”
Osdin was so scared of death that he even knelt directly in front of Ludwig.
When Ludwig saw this, he was in disbelief. However, the evidence that Osdin presented, and his cries did not seem fake. Therefore, Ludwig chose to believe him.
“Okay, I believe you. From now on, let’s cooperate and deal with Yves together.”
“No problem!”
Osdin and Ludwig reached a consensus, and Ludwig returned to the ruins of the Hanging Gardens as quickly as he could.
In order to hide the fact that he had been away for too long, he came back with a few drinks in his hand.
“Paul, Miss Maynard, you must be thirsty…”
It happened that Astor and Violet were getting thirsty from shopping, so these drinks came just in time.
Life at the Top Chapter 2303-Meanwhile, Yves, who was holding a pair of binoculars, also saw this scene. He muttered to himself.
“No wonder this guy has been away for so long. He went to buy something…”
He knew that it must be very crowded in such tourist spots, so it would be normal to be gone for a longer time.
As Amber moving toward the next attraction, Frank told Jamie what happened just now.
“Jamie, that’s what happened. Osdin turned his back on Yves out of fear of death. I agreed to work with him temporarily, so what should we do next?”
After Jamie heard that, he analyzed it in his mind for a while. At the end of the day, the most important person was the hotel owner Osdin who could also be called a double agent.
Jamie never trusted strangers, and this time was no different. Even if Osdin was kneeling and begging for mercy, Jamie would still remain vigilant.
“We can trust him for now… But we should only trust our own people in order to avoid any accidents,” Jamie said.
“Understood, Jamie.” Frank nodded.
Then, the three of them continued to wander until the afternoon.
“This should be enough, Miss Maynard. It will be dark if you keep going… And this place is so big. You can’t finish it in one day. Shall we come back tomorrow?”
Amber did not seem to be satisfied yet.
“Why? Are the big strong men tired from walking? How lame!”
However, Amber covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw Jamie panting from exhaustion.
“Okay, okay, let’s discuss this when we go back.”
Only then did Jamie turn around and return to the hotel with Amber still unsatisfied.
Yves, who was watching them secretly, had not come back yet. He was studying the route that Jamie and the others took today. He was quite familiar with this place. He firmly believed that as long as he blocked the route Jamie and others took, they would surely use the only other remaining route. Therefore, he stayed back the whole time and only left quietly after it got dark and the park was closed.
On the contrary, Jamie and others had returned to the hotel room early to rest.
Jamie got up and went to the living room. After that, he went to Amber’s room and knocked on the door.
“What do you want?” Amber asked.
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you were asleep?” Jamie asked softly.
“No, I want to take a milk bath,” Amber said inside the room.
“Then I won’t bother you…”
After hearing that, Amber, who was inside the room, was puzzled.
She pouted and said to herself, “This idiot…”
After confirming that Amber would not leave the room for a while, Jamie got up with Frank and went upstairs. They went to the door of Osdin’s room and knocked.
The door opened immediately.
After that, Frank and Jamie walked in, and then Frank introduced Jamie, “This is my boss. Please watch your language.”
Osdin kept smiling obsequiously so Jamie also went straight to the point after closing the door.
“Boss, you want to get rid of Yves, and we also want to get rid of him. Since we have the same goal, how about joining forces tonight?”
“No problem, do you have any good solutions?” Osdin asked softly.
Osdin was obviously playing dumb, but Jamie did not expose him. Instead, he brought up the past.
“Didn’t the steak you provided Yves that night work? You should just serve him his meal while we do the rest!”
Life at the Top Chapter 2304-Time passed quickly, and it was soon late at night. The hotel seemed relatively quiet.
After working for several hours, Yves returned to the hotel.
“Boss, the steak you served me yesterday was delicious. Please give me another one!”
“No problem, just wait in your room. It will be served soon.”
Originally, Osdin was still thinking about how to find a reason to give Yves his steak. Fortunately, Yves ordered one himself.
‘You can’t blame me now!’ Osdin sneered and went into the kitchen again.
After more than ten minutes, the special steak was delivered to Yves’ room by the attendant.
Perhaps he was out there the whole day keeping busy, but Yves felt that the steak smelled more delicious than yesterday. He wolfed it down and fell asleep peacefully.
After Yves was asleep for about ten minutes, Osdin notified Barne and others.
“Everyone, it has been ten minutes since he ate the steak, and the drug should have taken effect now. It’s time, right?”
Barne smiled when he heard this. “Alright. Just wait for our good news.”
After hanging up the phone, Barne glanced at Abraham.
The latter naturally understood that he had to deal with Yves on his own.
Barne watched Abraham leave. After that, he stayed alone in the hotel room.
Abraham strode upstairs. Soon, he was in the room where Yves was sleeping. He was equipped with the universal access card that Osdin gave him. He could immediately open the door with just a swipe of the card.
After opening the door, Abraham stuck the key card on the wall and sneaked in.
When Abraham was about to succeed, a shrill siren blared in the hotel room. Abraham turned his head and saw that the siren on the wall had gone off.
This was originally used to prevent fires, but it was ringing even though nothing happened.
According to Abraham’s experience, he immediately knew that Osdin was behind this.
“That damn double-faced spy! It seems that Barne was right!”
Even if Yves ate the drugged steak, he was still woken up.
After waking up, he quickly came to his senses and spotted Abraham in his room at a glance.
“How dare you come here to court death? Don’t blame me for being merciless then!”
Both of them were considered masters, and soon the hotel room became their battlefield.
On the other side, Osdin activated the smoke alarm in Yves’ room with the remote control.
With a confident smile on his face, he walked to the door of Barne’s room with a gun in his hand.
“Hmph, you want to fight with me? I’m the one who wants to dabble in both the good and bad sides!”
With a thud, Osdin kicked open the door to Barne’s room. He raised his gun and pointed it at Josef, who was reading a newspaper.
“Get your hands above your head if you don’t want to die! And give me all the money!”
Upon hearing this, Barne did not seem to be worried about the danger at all.
He asked with a smile on his face instead. “Didn’t you say that you would renounce the dark and seek the light, and also plan to join forces with us to deal with Yves? Is this how you do that?”
Upon hearing Barne’s inquiry, Osdin obviously did not intend to continue pretending.
“Hmph, what bullshit. I can’t trust anyone here! I am the one I trust the most. Stop talking nonsense and give me the money!”
Barne did not cooperate at all, but instead, he looked at Osdin with interest.
Life at the Top Chapter 2305-“;Just shoot if you have the balls. Let me tell you the truth, I’ve turned on the gas switch in advance. Now, the gas concentration in this room has exceeded the safe limit. Just shoot if you have the balls. Let’s die together!”
At this moment, Osdin was stunned. Then, he hurriedly sniffed the room carefully.
Sure enough, there was a smell of rotten eggs floating in the air.
Osdin’s expression changed suddenly, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hand.
“You’re crazy!”
When Jordan heard this, he did not respond, but instead, he took the opportunity to run over to kick away the gun in Osdin’s hand. Osdin was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
When he got up, a familiar scene played out again. The gun fell into Jordan’s hand and he aimed it at Osdin’s head.
“Don’t move or your head will be blown off.”
Even though Jordan successfully snatched the gun away, Osdin did not panic.
He imitated Josua, “Hmph, I’m not worried at all. Didn’t you say the house is full of gas? Just shoot me if you have the balls. We’ll just die together at most.”
When he saw Osdin imitating him, Jordan knew he had fallen into his trap.
Jordan walked to the door and opened the drawer.
A puff of gray smoke came out of the drawer, it smelled pungent.
“I lied. There is no gas in this room… The smell comes from a few stink bombs I hid in the drawer. Would you like to go over and smell them?”
When Jordan said this, he seemed to be trying to prove himself. He took out his lighter and lit a cigarette.
At first, Osdin was horrified. He thought the whole room would explode. However, when he saw Jordan finish lighting his cigarette and nothing changed, only then did Osdin realize that he had been fooled. He felt extremely regretful.
“You… How did you know I was just pretending to surrender?”
“Hmph, I’ve seen a lot of double-faced people like you! I’ve never trusted outsiders so easily. It was like this before, and it will continue to be like this in the future!”
Only then did Osdin realize that no matter how much he pretended, he could not fool someone like Jordan.
Jordan pulled the safety off again and Osdin knew it was his last warning.
Finally, Osdin raised his hand to show that he had surrendered. However, at this moment, the fighting upstairs had entered a heated stage.
Something directly smashed through the window and fell, so Jordan immediately looked over worriedly.
Since it was night time, he could not see clearly. He only knew that a figure had fled quickly.
“Josua, that’s Yves. He’s escaped!”
Jordan turned his head when he heard that. Then, he saw Josef walk into the room panting.
Osdin still wanted to resist, but Josef was much more aggressive than Jordan. He knocked Osdin down with a punch and tied him up with a rope.
“Sorry, Jordan. I failed to catch Yves… Although he ate the drugged steak, he could still fight. I couldn’t stop him since he had a weapon hidden beside his bed.”
Upon hearing Josef’s apology, Jordan naturally accepted it.
“There’s no need to apologize to me. You forced Yves to jump off the building, which is enough to prove that he was pushed to his limit. We were the ones fighting back, so this is a pretty good result.”
After Jordan finished speaking, he got up and opened the door to Marsha’s room next to him.
He relaxed when he saw that the woman still in a deep sleep.
Jordan had already predicted that there might be a fight tonight. Hence, after noticing that Marsha had the habit of drinking warm milk before going to bed, he put two sleeping pills in her milk.
Life at the Top Chapter 2306-Although Yves escaped, Osdin could not.
Anne then Interrogated Osdin in front of Paul and learned a lot about the Sky Wolves Mercenaries.
“It seems that Bella has chosen to work with Sky Wolves Mercenaries after she left the United States and came to Qari. Josef, we have met our opponent this time,” Anne said.
Paul looked back at him. “Are you familiar with Sky Wolves Mercenaries?”
“Well, this mercenary group is very famous in Qari, and these guys are very difficult to deal with.”
Anne told Paul that Sky Wolves Mercenaries were at least the top three in Qari. Other forces of the same nature would shy away when they heard their name.
The Red Scorpions and The Eagles that Anne had dealt with before were nothing compared to the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. Sky Wolves Mercenaries not only had a large number of people and were equipped with advanced weapons, but they also had a strict unified management system.
It could be said that they were an army without any national sovereignty!
Paul’s face suddenly changed after hearing this.
Anne was silent for a long time before he continued.
“Josef, you need to make a choice now… If we choose to continue fighting Bella in this head-to-head approach, you should at least report to Mr. McNeal because this mercenary group is no longer an ordinary organization. Otherwise, you’ll have to find another approach.”
Paul knew the other option was to admit defeat.
This was something that could not be helped. Bella had partnered with a group of desperate terrorists for god’s sake!
However, Paul was open-minded about this, so he smiled heartily.
“There is no need to bother Mr. McNeal about this kind of thing. I am here to solve the problem, not to create them. You reminded me to something… I’m a businessman and I‘m here to do business, not to fight like a general. We’ve been following Bella’s rules for so long, so it’s time to change the rules!”
Paul‘s eyes flickered. Obviously, he had already come up with some new plans.
Anne was right. Although Paul was winning every time, he could not keep following in Bella’s footsteps. In the end, he would definitely get lost in it.
In case of an accident, Paul would surely fall into the abyss!
When he first came to Qari, Paul was willing to use drastic methods to help himself gain a foothold in this chaotic environment. Now, Josef, who had two oil fields and several industries, had long been successful. It was time for him to bring Bella into his area of expertise too.
Anne finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Paul say that. This was because Paul had given up the head-to-head approach.
To be honest, Anne figured a head-to-head confrontation was very dangerous.
At the end of the day, one would better help themselves than ask others for help. Anne could not always protect Paul at critical moments.
With Paul‘s skill, it would be best not to continue sinking deeper into this type of conflict.
“Josef, do you already have other ideas?”
“You’re right. Since Bella likes to use violence so much, why don’t we ban them?“
After Paul finished speaking, Anne was a little taken aback.
“Um… Josef, this proposal is a bit too far-fetched, don’t you think?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2307-According to the current situation, the only force that Anderson could intervene in was the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce. Even so, why could Qari, a huge country, obey the commands of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce?
Anderson obviously understood this too and he smiled.
“Of course, I don’t have this power. If I do, there would be no need to continue fighting for oil resources here. The next thing I have to do is to make the Rothschilds fight among themselves. I’ll let them understand the dangers of guns so they won’t use them.”
Anderson‘s words were indeed a little confusing. After that, he took out his phone.
There was a message on the phone which contained the information that Anderson had just found out.
“See? Members of the United Kingdom’s royal family are coming here to attend a friend’s wedding in two days. It will be in Bardot, the capital. So if we do something and then frame the Rothschilds, they will surely be thrust into chaos.”
It was clear what Anderson meant, but Rose still had some concerns.
Anderson reached out and patted Rose’s shoulder at this moment.
Edgar said meaningfully, ‘Those so-called superpowers are just a group of interest groups masquerading as countries. They are like brothers if they share the same interest, but once there is an uneven distribution of interests, they turn into bloodthirsty enemies… Anyway, Rose, just wait and see. Let’s get a good night’s sleep tonight. We have to go back to work tomorrow.”
After Anderson finished speaking, Rose nodded and returned to his room.
As for poor Osdin, he was also knocked out by Rose and sent to sleep.
***
In the middle of the night, Bella had already fallen asleep when her phone rang suddenly.
“Who is it?”
Bella asked after she answered. Soon, bursts of gunshots and calls for help came from the phone.
“Miss Bella, it’s me. Help!”
“Yves? Didn’t you go on a mission? Why are there so many gunshots from your side?”
“Come and save me, Miss Bella! I’m…”
After he said that, Yves’ phone seemed to have dropped to the ground.
“Hello? Talk to me! Hello…”
Bella called out several times but there was no news from Yves until the call was cut off.
How could Bella continue to sleep?
She immediately got up and went to find Captain Viktor.
Bella got dressed and headed straight to Sky Wolves Mercenaries, where she found a trusted aide.
“Miss Bella, what are you doing here so late?”
“I want to find your captain, Viktor…”
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately shook his head. “Sorry, Miss Bella. Captain Viktor left yesterday.
“Edgar temporarily handed over all the rights to Deputy Captain Yves. You can go to him if you need anything.”
Bella nodded silently after she heard that. Then, she turned and left.
The trusted aide would never imagine that there would be no way to find Yves again in the future.
Bella woke up the next day and immediately got the news of Yves‘ death.
Last night, Yves was unable to match Rose because he was drugged.
In order to survive, he jumped from the balcony on the third floor in a panic. Although he was injured, he did not die. Yves was panicking and he did not know where he was going. Thus, he barged into the territory of a local gang just in time to run into a gang fight.
Since no one could prove Yves’ identity, the two sides decided to kill him together. Before he died, Yves called for help, but it did not work.
Bella stared blankly at the news for a long time, and suddenly, the people from Sky Wolves Mercenaries arrived.
Life at the Top Chapter 2308-Bella heard the sound and walked to the door, just in time to see Captain Viktor walking in with an angry look on his face.
“Captain, do you know about Yves’ death? Actually, his mission…”
Bella also wanted to explain, but clearly, her attitude towards Viktor and Yves was very different. Because when Bella set off, the elders of the family already warned her.
Sky Wolves Mercenaries could be described as an individual mercenary group, and she could disregard everyone except Captain Viktor. Therefore, Bella was a little apprehensive when she saw Viktor at this moment.
“I know, I’m here because of that.”
Captain Viktor’s face was full of indifference, making Bella think that this guy was here to settle accounts.
Soo, Captain Viktor changed the subject, which surprised Bella.
“I’m here to apologize for Yves’ rashness.” Captain Viktor lowered his head slightly.
For a tough man like him, it was not easy to do this.
Bella felt a little relieved. Since Captain Viktor did not come here to criticize her, then there was still room for discussion.
“You don’t need to be so courteous, Captain Viktor. I’m also responsible for this… I didn’t expect Ludwig to be so difficult to deal with, so that’s why Yves got into the accident.”
Captain Viktor waved his hand suddenly.
Then, he looked at Bella and said, “There is no need to discuss matters related to this Ludwig person anymore. I actually brought orders from your family, Miss.”
As soon as he said that, Bella was very surprised.
No matter what order her family had, it stood to reason that she should be the first person to know about them.
Why did this sharp-eyed man have higher priority than Bella?
Bella looked puzzled. Therefore, Captain Viktor continued to speak and took out a written document while he was at it.
The content of the document was a bit complicated, and it could be summed up in only a few sentences.
It was well known that the United States was interested in Qari’s oil resources. According to the international situation, most people figured that the United States would act in three months. However, the United States had begun to arrange for people to move in advance.
Everyone knew that this would be a tough nut to crack.
If the United States could find another way that was better than launching a war, they would not want walk in while wielding knives and guns either as it would be too wasteful in terms of manpower and money. At the same time, they would also be made a scapegoat. After all, this was related to the economy and people’s livelihood.
The United States gathered world-class economists to analyze Qari’s current and future economic trends. They had reason to completely destroy Qari’s economy through commercial means.
In this way, as long as Qari’s economy collapsed and people did not have enough food and clothing, domestic conflicts would escalate.
At that time, the United States could once again appear as a beacon to save this country that was on the verge of collapse. Thus, the so-called war was just the last resort.
It was clearly stated in the document that the major families under the Rothschilds would be the vanguard of this commercial war.
After reading it, a sneer appeared on Bella’s face. “I didn’t expect these guys to still not give up!”
The object of her ridicule was naturally the five major families under the Rothschilds.
Bella knew very well in her heart that Paulson and the other elders would not easily agree to such a thing based on their characters. Even if they did, it would be unlikely for them to set up the five major families to act as the vanguard.
There must be some secret transactions that Bella had no idea about. And what Bella was most interested in now was the role Viktor was playing now.
However, if she asked this question rashly, it would definitely appear a little abrupt. Moreover, Bella did not expect Captain Viktor to tell her the truth.
“Miss Bella, are you wondering how I got the Rothschilds’ document. Is that why you’re looking at me like this?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2309-Bella froze for a moment.
Then, she nodded and said, ”To be honest, I was indeed wondering about this… Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the eldest daughter be notified first when the seniors want to issue documents?”
There was obviously resentment in Bella’s voice, and Captain Viktor quickly answered.
“At this point, I don’t think it matters if I tell you the truth… Do you know why I immediately accepted the entrusted task of the Rothschilds? Think about it. I feel it’s worth it even if Deputy Captain Yves died in the process.”
Captain Viktor’s words made Bella start to brainstorm. She had already begun to wonder what was so valuable.
Captain Viktor only waited for a moment before answering.
“It’s the identity of our entire mercenary group! I don’t want to be just the captain of a mercenary group anymore, I want something more, do you understand? And you and the Rothschilds are the best opportunity for this!”
Captain Viktor told Bella that he desperately hoped to use the Rothschilds to help make him official.
Although he owned the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, was considered a top power in Qari, and no one dared to mess with him, these were not enough, and Viktor was not satisfied.
The desires of the human heart could not be satisfied.
Back then, Captain Viktor also thought that he had reached his peak. However, later he discovered that despite this, outsiders would not call him Captain Viktor. At most, they would call him the leader of the
robbers.
Only then did Viktor realize how big the gap in status was between the two of them.
Moses had been working on changing his identity and was ready to abandon everything for this mission until he received the entrusted task of the Rothschilds.
The plan back then was that the Rothschilds would take over the Sky Wolves Mercenaries and turn them into a regular part of the army after the incident in Qari was over.
After Bella heard this, it suddenly dawned on her.
“I see… I didn’t expect you to be making this move from the very beginning. Could you have expected Yves’ death from the very beginning?” Bella looked at Viktor, who smiled slightly.
“Of course not. Although Yves’ death surprised me, I will still bury him properly. Today I am not only here to bring you documents, but also, I need to convey a family order to you.”
Bella was surprised. She did not expect her family to value Viktor so much.
Moses could even convey the orders from home to her now.
“At present, Miss Bella, you have had no victory against Joe. They hope you can reflect on yourself and stop embarrassing your family…”
After speaking, Viktor bowed, turned, and left.
This was a relayed order from the Rothschild family. Of course, he knew that his words were harsh. Hence if he did not leave, he would become the target of Bella’s anger.
Sure enough, after Viktor left, he heard Bella slamming the door shut behind him.
Bella was indeed furious. She never thought that this would be an order conveyed by the seniors of the family. Thus, she immediately contacted Paulson.
“Uncle Paulson, the captain of Sky Wolves Mercenaries gave me an order from the family. Is it true what Viktor said? Do you think I’m embarrassing the family name?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2310-Bella was in disbelief, but Paulson sneered at her.
“How rare. I thought something reminded you that I’m still your uncle. I guess you only come to complain to me after you get scolded. Think about it, have you ever done anything to bring honor to the family?”
“When did you not have a whimsical idea and then ask the elders of the family to clean up the mess for you after you screwed up?”
Originally, Bella appeared very confident, but after she was questioned by Paulson, Bella lost her confidence and her voice became meek.
“B-But l have good intentions, don’t I? It’s not my fault that God always stands on the other side. I’m just a little bit unlucky. I haven’t completely lost yet. Soon, every oil field in Bashra will fall into my hands!”
Bella had kept her plan secret.
However, after the arrival of Captain Viktor and the current call with Paulson, she seriously felt that she was about to reach a dead end. That was why Bella chose to expose this plan.
“Really? If this is the case, then the elders will change their views on you. “What the Rothschild family lacks most is talent. You have to be better than others to be worthy of being the eldest daughter! I’m waiting for your good news!”
Just after Paulson hung up the phone, the landline on the desk rang.
Edgar reached out to answer the phone, and a dignified voice came from the opposite side immediately.
“Paulson, I asked you to arrange someone to bring Bella back, why haven’t you done it yet? It’s not suitable for her to stay there anymore and she can’t mess around anymore in the future!”
Paulson’s expression gradually became solemn, but he was still buying time for Bella.
“Well, I just spoke to Bella on the phone. She told me she has a secret plan that hasn’t been exposed yet. According to her plan, all the oil fields in Bashra will fall into her hands soon… So can you wait a few more days? I believe she will make you proud this time.”
The voice on the other side of the phone fell silent.
Although Bashra was not as large as the capital Bardot, it was still the second-largest city in Qari. There were also quite rich oil reserves.
If Bella could really succeed, that would be something worth celebrating. Therefore, the higher-ups gave her a deadline.
“Tell her that she has five days. Come back if she can’t do it by then”
“Okay!”
***
Bella hung up the phone and slumped on the sofa.
Now that Yves was not here anymore, her plan would inevitably be restricted to a certain extent.
It was because Bella knew that she could not give orders to Viktor at will. After all, he was the group’s captain, and now he could even directly contact the family’s elders.
If not for Viktor’s concern for Bella’s reputation, he might have already given her orders by now.
Without Yves as her right-hand man, Bella felt uncomfortable. Therefore, Bella’s top priority was to continue looking for a new right-hand man in the Sky Wolves Mercenaries.
After thinking about it, Bella remembered the person she met when she went to ask about Yves.
‘I remember that this guy seemed to be Deputy Captain Yves’ guard. Edgar should be reliable. I just need to figure out how to win him over…’
As Bella thought of this, she immediately went to inform someone to bring this guy over.
