Ch. 2391..2400
Life at the Top Chapter 2391-Abe also frowned upon hearing this. Although he had expected a reaction, Solander’s strong action at this time was far beyond his expectations.
This was tantamount to waging a war.
In reality, before this, most Qari families were generally disgusted with Kimbra’s rebellion.
Fortunately, because the United States might invade at any time, no one dared to break the current balance and allow other families the chance to take advantage of them. So, even if everyone was dissatisfied with Kimbra’s behavior, they still agreed to take a neutral attitude towards this matter. However, it was different now.
Kimbra had completely offended the Elvis family.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he tried to violate the only mistress of the Elvis family, and this mistress was also a member of the United Kingdom royal family.
Now even if the Elvis family was willing to play down this matter, the United Kingdom would never allow them to do so!
The nature of this incident had gone beyond the scope of the family’s dignity, so the Elvis family could only and must choose to attack Kimbra.
Abe wanted to pretend like he did not see Kimbra’s eyes asking for help, but when he saw Kimbra’s eyes that were like a lone wolf’s, he still tensed up.
“Abe, you offended the Elvis family the moment you stood by me. Do you want to continue to offend the Rothschilds now?” Kimbra knew that he had reached the critical moment of life and death, so he started threatening Abe without hiding anything.
Abe gritted his teeth and said, “Solander, let Kimbra go back first for my sake. He can’t die here. I will not stop you no matter what you want to do in the future…”
Solander narrowed his eyes.
He was silent for a while, and in the end, he said coldly, “Okay, since we’ve been friends for more than two decades, I’ll agree to that.”
Abe sighed in relief and said sincerely, “Thank you, Solander…”
However, Solander’s next sentence made him fall into the abyss immediately.
“Abe, as a former friend, there is one thing that I feel I have an obligation to remind you of in advance. I will bring a case of impeachment against you at next week’s board of directors meeting of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce…”
“According to your recent performance, as the head of the Elvis family, I have reason to suspect that you are no longer qualified to be the vice president of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.”
Just as Solander finished speaking, another echoing voice sounded.
“Mr. Abe, I am now representing the Bashra branch and as the president of the Bashra branch, I agree with Mr. Solander’s views. We will follow Mr. Solander to launch an impeachment against you at the next week’s meeting.”
“Not only that, but I will also meet with the presidents of several other branches in the next few days and try to unite them to participate in the impeachment.”
The one speaking was a very angry Murik.
He was under great pressure in the previous oil testing reagent turmoil and even almost lost his best friend Saul forever because of it.
At that time, Murik swore secretly that he would not forgive the Rothschild’s spies in the Qari Petroleum Chamber of Commerce. And now, Abe had exposed the fact that he was colluding with the Rothschilds, so how could Abe give up this opportunity for revenge?
Abe was silent. Then, he raised his head and said calmly, “Okay, I’ll wait for you…”
After saying this, Abe grabbed Kimbra and turned around to leave.
He knew that his position as vice president would not last long, and now he could only hope that Cindy could fulfill her promise.
This was his last chance.
Life at the Top Chapter 2392-Soon, Kimbra and Abe disappeared from the hall.
They were so aggressive when they arrived, but they left in embarrassment. They were accompanied by several family representatives who had just followed them to terrorize the Elvis family.
They had been at odds with the Elvis family ever since they came out in support of Kimbra.
Now that the two sides had completely fallen out, so if they stayed, it would be very awkward.
“I will remember this, and I will definitely find Chyntia to exact my revenge!” On the way back to the car, Kimbra had a ferocious expression and a fierce tone.
Abe said indifferently, “Kimbra, instead of taking revenge on Paul, I think you should think more about how to deal with the Elvis family’s incoming revenge…”
At this moment, Abe’s expression was gloomy.
Compared with the high spirits from when he came, he seemed to ge several years in just one hour. All he could think about now was how to deal with the coming impeachment.
Seeing Abe’s dejected expression, Kimbra smiled slyly. “Abe, you don’t need to be too discouraged. Don’t forget that Miss Nori Rothschild is still in the mosque.”
Hearing this, Abe seemed to realize something.
He suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief, “You mean, Miss Nori still has a backup plan?”
However, Kimbra spread his hands and kept Abe on tenterhooks. “Who knows, but I’m guessing that with her unruly temper, she will not accept her failure so easily.”
Seeing that Kimbra did not want to say more, Abe could not do anything either. No matter what, they were on the same boat now, and all he could do now was hope that what Kimbra said would come true.
Along the way, the two had their own concerns and were silent, only worrying about themselves. However, none of them noticed that at some point, a few people were missing from the team following them.
***
Inside the hall of the mosque.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for what happened just now. Let’s proceed with the wedding as usual now…” Solander bowed and apologized to the guests.
Other guests expressed their understanding. To be honest, they still had not recovered from what happened just now.
They experienced so many twists in just a few minutes and finally, they even witnessed the Elvis family’s declaration of war on the Kurt family.
These two were big families in Qari, and it could be said that every word and deed from them would affect the changes in the Qari market. Now that the two had officially declared war, it would undoubtedly set off an earthquake in Qari.
Amid the blessings and cheers of the crowd, Warwick and Elibetha, the newlyweds, walked to the center of the hall whilst surrounded by flower girls.
The wedding continued.
At this time, Harry walked over to Chyntia’s side at some point. Right after Abe and Kimbra left the hall together, he went to the corner and made a phone call.
Unsurprisingly, he reported what he had just seen to his father who was far away in the United Kingdom.
“Mr. Paul, thank you for what you did just now. Although I don’t know why you stopped me from standing up and denouncing those bastards, I really appreciate you coming forward at the end…”
“This is what I should do as your friend,” Chyntia responded politely.
“So, as a friend, will I have the honor to invite you to the United Kingdom after this wedding?”
Harry’s words made Chyntia’s eyes narrow.
As the prince of the United Kingdom, although Harry was not the first-in-line of succession, his invitation was very important and could basically represent the attitude of his father, Crown Prince Carl.
This was an opportunity from the United Kingdom that was not only offered to Paul, but also to Somerland behind him!
Life at the Top Chapter 2393-Their judgment of the Western European countries seemed to have been absolutely spot on as they were indeed dissatisfied with the United States being so huge on their own. They also wanted to taste some of the sweetness from the turmoil in Qari.
Anita’s mind turned for just a moment before he said with a smile, “Of course. As your friend, I’d naturally be delighted to visit you in the United Kingdom.”
Harry’s mood lifted when he got Anita’s agreement. He then dragged Anita and started chatting about everything under the sun. Shulman and the others also very quickly joined in on the conversation. Shulman also extended an invite to Anita just as Harry did.
Soon, the group was engaged in pleasant conversation.
On the other hand, Kant and his people stuck out like a sore thumb here.
Any discerning individual would have noticed during the turmoil just now that the United State’s shadow had been looming behind Kimbra’s attack.
As members of a family affiliated with the Rothschild, the fact that Kant and the others had not been kicked out on the spot by the Elvis family was already them sparing their dignity. Now that they have been snubbed, they could only suffer even if they were unwilling.
“Miss George, I heard you also have a business in Qari…” Solander had made his way over with a wine glass in hand at this time.
Smiling, George replied, “Yes, Mr. Solander, I took over the oil fields and other related businesses that originally belonged to Saul on Anita’s behalf.”
“If that’s the case, Mr. Anita and Miss George, I wonder if Elvis Group will have the honor of forming a partnership with you two?”
George could not help the hint of joy that flitted across her face when she heard Solander’s question.
This was a huge gift Solander was giving in order to repay Anita for the help he extended just now!
The businesses under the Elvises play a pivotal role in Qari’s oil industry. Not every company was qualified to work with them. For example, although Saul’s company had a good reputation in Bashra, it was nothing special to Elvis Group.
Jefferson Group had not even been qualified to negotiate with the Elvises previously, but now, Solander, the actual man in charge of the Elvis family had personally proposed to a partnership with Adrian. These two incidents were incomparable.
At the same time, this was also a sign. It meant that a part of the famous family in Qari that was headed by the Elvises had officially accepted the Somerland forces’ entry.
For the first time, there was a possibility for Somerland to develop its own forces in Qari, instead of just causing small-scale troubles like they did before.
“Of course. We are honored to work with the Elvis Group.”
Anita naturally was grateful for the goodwill that Solander had thrown at him on his own accord. They very quickly agreed to choose a date to discuss the details of partnership after the wedding.
It seems that Rowan’s arrival to Qari has been carried forward…
Anita thought to himself.
In any case, his main battlefield was still within Somerland territory. He could not possibly wait in Qari for too long. Once the situation here stabilized, he would need someone to help him manage his business in Qari. And Rowan, as Saul’s nephew, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Just as Anita was lost in his thoughts, a faint voice tickled his ears. “Mr. Laine, we’re from the Kurt family and were wondering if we have the opportunity to discuss some partnership with you?”
When Anita heard this, he turned around and saw two men dressed in traditional white robes before him.
The badges on their bodies revealed their identity as members of the Kurt family.
If memory served him right, they should have left with Kimbra. Yet, here they were, approaching Anita alone. This was rather intriguing.
Life at the Top Chapter 2394-“Of course…” Chyntia smiled and nodded.
“Thank you so much!”
The two men were overjoyed when they heard this as if Chyntia just promised to chat with them in depth.
They quickly moved to the corner for their discussion.
As Chyntia expected, they came to him to negotiate Baltimore’s rescue.
Chyntia learned from their conversation that although Kimbra had successfully seized power by using force, he was still very unpopular in the family because of his cruel methods. There were many others like them who wanted Baltimore and Robbins back in power.
He did not immediately agree to their request but promised to give them an answer in a few days.
When the two of them heard Chyntia’s answer, they still hurriedly left with a smile despite their slight disappointment.
It seems that the Kurts’ resentment toward Kimbra is not insignificant…
Chyntia looked at the back of the two who gradually disappeared from his vision as he shook his head slightly.
They were already so happy he did not reject them immediately. This showed how eager they were to get rid of Kimbra.
We should have to start preparing for Baltimore’s rescue once the wedding is over…
Chyntia whispered silently.
Now that he had gained the Elvis family’s friendship, it was still not enough. Although the Elvises had influence over the opinions of the oil field owners to a certain extent, most of the country’s oil fields were still in the Kurts’ hands.
Somerland would not be able to really solve its energy shortage problem, let alone use it as a bargaining chip to gain a stranglehold on the United States without first opening a door to the Kurts. And when Rowan came, he would also still have to help him establish a truly powerful business in Qari that was Somerlands.
To accomplish all this, support from the oil fields was inevitable and the Kurts’ attitude were also extremely important.
***
Top floor of A. H. Mosque.
Amber ended the call looking gloomy.
The call was from her father, who was also the gentleman with the surname Rothschild.
He had been furious with her over the call and demanded that she return home immediately. He warned her sternly that if she did not follow his orders, she would be stripped of her status as a member of the Rothschild family.
Needless to say, these were all done by Kant and the others. They had all guessed that Amber had been behind the changes that happened just now. The series of failures had severely affected the Elvis family’s attitude toward them and so, they now hated Amber.
With this being the case, it was inevitable then that they would add more details to their report to the family elders just now.
“I can’t just go back. This is my last chance. I have to win this round,” Amber gritted fiercely.
She was like a female leopard that had been cornered at this moment. Her eyes were red, and killing intent began oozing from her body.
She knew that even if she obeyed the order now, she would definitely lose her right to the inheritance even if she did manage to retain her status as a member of the family.
This was something that she absolutely could not accept with how proud she was. All of this was because of Chyntia!
“Edmund, implement Plan A now!” Amber’s voice was cold, and her eyes were cruel.
“Okay, miss! Is the target still everyone except Chyntia and the members of the five major families?”
Edmund noted Amber’s murderous gaze. Despite being on the battlefield for so long, he still could not stop the shiver that ran down his spine.
Life at the Top Chapter 2395-“No, the target is everyone except Paul. Of course, this includes the bastards from the James, Amslows, and Carls! I wouldn’t have my Rothschild name threatened if they hadn’t done anything!”
Violet’s voice was cold as madness also seeped into her eyes.
Kant, since you dare stab me in the back, don’t blame me for using you as a stepping stone to climb back to the top. It’s all your fault!
“But, Miss Violet, won’t your parents punish you if they were to find out about this?”
Edmund did not obey immediately as usual. This time, and even voiced out his thoughts. Although he was obsessed with Violet, he was not stupid. He did not want to be the scapegoat for this attack.
Hearing Edmund question her, an imperceptible killing intent flashed across Violet’s eyes.
Still, she answered softly, “Edmund, you don’t have to worry about what this will do to you. I’ll tell my father to let me marry you after this is done. A knight that protects his princess will of course receive a fitting reward.”
After Violet said this, she pressed a light kiss beside Edmund’s incredulous eyes.
“Take this as an advanced deposit. Also, this ring is a relic left to me by my mother. I’m giving it to you now. Let this be a token of my promise this time.”
Edmund clutched the ring Violet handed him, his gaze still dreamy. It was all so incredible.
Violet, the proud daughter of the Rothschild family, had actually taken a fancy to him, a mercenary. This was an opportunity for him to ascend higher!
It seemed that everything that he had done while by Violet’s side had been seen. He must have moved her so much that she even wanted to marry him!
Thinking this, Edmund’s heart grew hot as he straightened himself and called out loudly, “Miss, I definitely won’t let you down!”
After that, Edmund turned around and started contact his subordinates who were already lying in wait.
“Sniper one, take your position, target Kant of the James family. Sniper two, take your position, target Solander…”
Immersed in a beautiful dream, Edmund did not notice that Violet was looking at him with eyes filled with murderous intent at this moment. It was as if she were looking at a dead man.
Suddenly, there was a bang outside the window.
Kant, who had been sitting in the corner, fell to the ground unexpectedly, his thigh bleeding.
“Damn it! Enemy attack! Someone get in here!”
Another few crisp-sounding bangs came the moment he said that.
There were shots everywhere. Amid the gunfire, the guests fled in all directions.
“Just what are the Elvises doing? How did they allow gunmen into the mosque?!”
“Drat! Don’t tell me I’m going to die here?!”
“Run! It’s a sniper!”
***
Edmund wore a confused expression as he watched the crowd descend into chaos downstairs.
From behind him, BElla’s cold voice sounded, “Edmund, I don’t remember asking you to take action now.”
Edmund turned around and put up his hands in a surrendering gesture. “Miss, it’s not our men…”
Violet suddenly had a bad feeling at Edmund’s words. The situation was now completely out of her control.
“D*mn it, who the heck is opening fire?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2396-Gunfire continued outside the window, thrusting the solemn mosque into chaos.
People ran around under the hail of bullets. Moreover, the number of injured guests racked up as the hall was filled with wails.
These usually aloof big shots were now as weak and helpless as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The most frightening thing was that even though the bodyguards had already taken action after hearing about this, no one had yet determined the location of the shooter, let alone his identity.
“Damn it, who did this? They are not only provoking the Elvis family, but this is also an insult to the entire Qari!” Solander yelled loudly and ordered the bodyguards to fight back as he was hiding in the safe house.
Right now, this place was crowded with guests.
Those who were arranged to hide here were all the most distinguished guests in the venue.
Harry, Shulman, Warwick, Elibetha, and others were all here.
Logically speaking, based on the original relationship between Anne and Rowan and the Elvis family, they were not qualified to hide here. However, because of what Anne did just now, as well as the influence of Somerland, who had always stood behind him, Solander had already regarded him as a potentially important partner.
Thus, the moment they heard gunshots, Anne and Rowan fled there under the escort of bodyguards.
Outside the house were many guards armed with live ammunition.
Qari was always in chaos and it would be thrust into turmoil from time to time, so every force with even a little strength would have their own armed forces.
“Wait, why are Kant and the people from the other five major families not here?” At this moment, Shulman suddenly discovered something and exclaimed hastily.
“Oh no! If something happens to members of the five major families in the Elvis family, we will be in big trouble!” Elibetha snuggled up next to Warwick, her eyes uneasy.
“You‘re not officially married to Warwick yet and yet you’re already siding with his family… ” Harry glanced at Elibetha and said lowly.
Elibetha hit Harry on the shoulder angrily and snapped, “How can you joke at this moment? If something happens to the five major families, the United States Will definitely not spare us. At that time, it will not only be about the Elvis family, but also…”
Elibetha did not finish her sentence, but Harry immediately understood what she meant, and his face began to darken.
Elibetha and Warwick were about to marry, which meant the Elvis family would be firmly tied to the United Kingdom. If something happened to the five major families while they were in the Elvis family, the United Kingdom would definitely not be able to get away with it.
At that time, this incident would turn into a conflict between countries. The consequences could be disastrous.
“Ah, I see Kant and the others!”
At this time, there was another exclamation and it relieved Harry and Elibetha.
The two of them poked their heads out of the window and saw Kant and the others rushing out of the hall in panic under the protection of several bodyguards armed with guns. In addition to the few members of Kant’s group, there were even some from Qari citizens among the group.
However, they were all wearing veils, so their faces were covered.
“Wait, why aren’t there bullets directed at them?”
The faces of Solander and other members of the Elvis family, as well as VIPs like Harry, immediately fell.
A thought appeared in their minds. At the same time, Anne also received a message.
“Rowan, I spotted the rats.”
Upon seeing Anita’s message, Anne felt very relieved. It seemed that Anita was still the most reliable person at this critical moment.
Life at the Top Chapter 2397-“Who said to shoot?” On the top floor of the mosque, Morine roared wildly.
“Miss, it’s not my people, I swear. I don’t know which force launched the attack suddenly!” Edmund was also a little confused when faced with Morine’s questioning.
According to the original plan, their soldier should ambush the mosque and then launch an attack on the guests downstairs and take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Leonardo. If possible, it would be even better if they could get rid of Elibetha and Warwick too.
If the bride and groom were dead, the agreement between the Elvis family and the United Kingdom would naturally be invalidated.
United Kingdom might even completely separate itself from Qari’s local forces because of the death of a member of the royal family and join in on the sanctions imposed by the United States.
The original idea was of course perfect, but after the early attack of this unknown armed force, everything changed.
After venting her anger, Morine lowered her head and thought calmly for a while.
After that, she said decisively, “Enrique, tell your people not to do the ambush anymore. Retreat now! We must evacuate immediately!”
Edmund froze for a moment, then said naively, “Miss Morine, are we not going to deal with the group below?”
Edmund still remembered Morine’s promise just now. He did not want this opportunity to marry a woman from the Rothschild family to slip away from him.
“The most important thing we should consider now is not how to attack other people, but how to keep ourselves out of trouble!”
“I don’t want to end up being responsible for this attack that came out of nowhere!”
Morine was fuming.
Now she suddenly regretted choosing Edmund as her partner. However, at this time, she selectively ignored it. She had not chosen Edmund at the time because he was her first choice, but rather that she had been at an impasse.
Edmund scratched his head. He still did not understand what Morine meant. After all, he was only good at fighting and killing, and thinking was never his specialty.
However, since Morine had clearly given him an order, he had no reason to refuse. Therefore, he put on the earphones and prepared to order his subordinates who were still in their positions.
At this moment, an exclamation sounded from the earphone and Edmund’s face fell.
He took off his earphones and said in a deep voice, “Miss Morine, we may not be able to escape. The raiders have found my men and they’re fighting.”
Morine’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Edmund, let’s just leave them and go!”
At this moment, she finally understood the true purpose of the attackers. They were not there to attack anyone from the Elvis family. Their goal had always been her!
Inside the safe house, the faces of the people with bad intentions were dark and they did not say anything.
Harry had always been short-tempered.
When he saw how quiet everyone was, he could not help but say, “Chief Solander, do you think this group of attackers is…”
Before he could say the next sentence, Shulman grabbed his shoulders from the side and abruptly stopped what Harry was about to say.
Shulman shook his head slightly.
Now, all of them knew the answer in their hearts, and there was no doubt that the United States was the biggest suspect. However, they could only swallow their suspicions.
Seeing that Harry still had a puzzled expression on his face, Shulman sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to explain, he heard cheers from outside.
“Yay! Reinforcements are coming!”
Life at the Top Chapter 2398-Through the window, they saw groups of fully armed soldiers arriving in jeeps amid billowing smoke and dust.
Sitting in the first row was Alder.
From far away, Alder spotted Morine and waved excitedly at him.
“Boss, here I come!”
Solander and the others looked surprised when they saw this scene.
“Boneng, are they your people?”
Morine nodded with a smile.
Harry tapped Morine on the shoulder excitedly. “You son of a gun, you’re my best friend now!”
Warwick also said gratefully, “Boneng, you are the Elvis family’s friend for forever!”
Now that the fighting outside was getting more and more intense, those who could send reinforcements at this time were genuinely providing help in their hour of need.
Soon, more and more jeeps arrived along with many soldiers. These jeeps were painted with various flags, and the flags symbolized the forces behind them. Reinforcements from the other forces also arrived.
Under the retaliation of the new firepower, the attackers gradually retreated.
Alder also led his people into the safe room at this moment. When he entered, he gave Morine a firm hug.
“Boss, it’s great to see that you’re fine!”
At this time, Shulman seemed to remember something and asked curiously, “By the way, Boneng, where’s your entourage?”
He was referring to Dora.
When Morine fought with the guard, Shulman and Harry watched from a distance.
What left a strong impression on him at the time was not only Morine’s outrageous attack but also Dora’s fearlessness.
Before Morine could answer, Alder said carefreely, “Dora has already led our people from the side building to the top of the tower. He said that the leader of the enemy should have been hiding there. He asked us to attack head-on to attract the attention of the attackers. Then, he would lead his men from the side to catch all of them in one go.”
Alder’s answer stunned everyone.
Dora was really something else!
Now that the enemy was brazenly attacking them, everyone’s first reaction was how to preserve as much of their forces as possible, but Dora aimed to directly wipe out the opponent.
“Mr. Boneng, I want to give this guy named Dora a big gift on behalf of the Elvis family after he returns.”
After Solander said that, several other forces also chimed in, “I share the same idea as Mr. Solander!”
“Those bastards are so horrible. Mr. Boneng, your entourage has to catch them all!”
Boom!
At this moment, a bullet hit the iron door outside the safe house, sending out sparks and dust.
The people who were excited just now and thought that they had been saved immediately cowered.
Alder was fuming at this moment, “Damn it, those guys are here. I’m going to kill them!”
In his opinion, he had already come here, and the opponents still wanted to chase after him. This meant that they were not following the rules at all. However, he forgot that the purpose of the other party was to kill all of them, so there were no rules to speak of.
Among the people following Alder at this moment were some mercenaries who have been recruited recently. These men were not from the same group who had originally followed him.
Since the incident with Saul, Morine realized that if he wanted to survive on this land, he must have his own armed force. Thus, he had been letting Alder gather more men. In the end, this order came in handy.
Alder, who was furious, took the lead. Under the strong firepower, the opponent retreated steadily, leaving behind a trail of corpses.
Suddenly, a figure fell from upstairs, revealing a strange wolf head tattoo on his arm.
An entourage from the Elvis family happened to catch a glimpse of the tattoo at this moment and blurted out, “It’s them!”
Life at the Top Chapter 2399-After Solander heard the man’s exclamation, he immediately grabbed the man’s collar and pulled him in front of him.
“Why? Do you recognize this group of people?”
The man was frightened by Solander’s action and tremblingly said, “J-Judging from their markings, they seem to be from Sky Wolves Mercenaries…”
Upon hearing this name, everyone except for the foreign guests who just came to Qari looked terrified.
The illustrious reputation of Sky Wolves Mercenaries had already reached the point where everyone in Qari recognized them. This group of people was cruel and fierce, and they were a threat to all forces.
“If it’s really them, then this is going to be troublesome,” Warwick muttered to himself.
At this time, he suddenly remembered something and said in surprise, “Wait, if I remember correctly, hasn’t Viktor from Sky Wolves Mercenaries already sided with the Rothschild?”
“According to the informant’s information, Viktor had already left Bardot a few days ago, so it doesn’t make sense for him to launch an attack suddenly at this time…”
As the president of the largest chemical group under the Elvis family, Warwick was also recognized as the next head of the family. Therefore, he had taken over the family’s intelligence work early on.
Naturally, he would focus on monitoring the country’s unstable variables such as the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. Thus, although Viktor did not announce to the outside world that he joined the Rothschilds, this news would not escape from the Elvis family, who was also in Qari.
It was not just the Elvis family. Basically any forces in Qari with even a little bit of strength would cultivate their own intelligence organizations and plant their spies everywhere, especially within these
mercenary groups. After all, no one wanted to see a group of mercenaries catch them off guard and wipe them out.
A sense of security in Qari had long been a luxury.
“It really is them. Damn those Rothschilds!” At this moment, Harry could not bear it anymore.
He roared, “I was wondering why Kant and the others weren’t being attacked, it turns out that these people are all part of the same group!”
Omas patted him on the shoulder. “Calm down, Harry, anger won’t solve any problems. What we should think about now is how to kill them.”
Solander praised, “Omas is right. The top priority now is to repel the rebels first. We can talk about the rest later.”
Solander had not noticed that unknowingly, he had begun to call Omas by his name just like Elibetha and Bolot.
“This is not right…” Warwick wanted to say something, but Solander glared at him.
In reality, with Solander’s wit and cunningness, naturally, he knew that something was wrong. However, the most important thing right now was to identify a responsible party for this attack as soon as possible.
Only when there was a common enemy could the disordered crowd truly unite. Not to mention that the reason why Solander had been insisting on promoting the union between his family and the United Kingdom was to prevent the United States from attacking.
Therefore, right now, it was in his interest to drag the representatives of other countries in with him.
The corpse of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries member alone spoke for itself. No matter the level of the Rothschilds’ involvement, it would be enough to paint them as the target.
In short, no matter what the Rothschild’s intentions were, they were going to take the blame for this attack.
Solander had even thought about the person who was going to be responsible. The eldest daughter of that man from the Rothschild family, Chyntia!
Life at the Top Chapter 2400-In reality, as early as a few days ago, what Lydia did in Bashra had already reached Bardot.
Everyone knew that Lydia, the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, was stirring up trouble in Qari recently.
Among them, Lydia’s reckless behavior left a deep impression on them. She was the person in charge of this attack, which was in line with her past personality.
Solander’s little trick did not elude Benita’s cognition.
“It seems that Mr. Solander also has a lot of opinions on the Rothschilds,” Benita whispered, his voice was inaudible.
Upstairs in the mosque, Lydia was fleeing while retreating under Edmund’s protection.
At this moment, she had put on a black veil to conceal her identity.
She understood that the most urgent task now was to escape from this place as soon as possible. No one could save her if she was caught. Even her family would abandon her mercilessly. After all, even if the Rothschilds were powerful, they would not want to bear the charge of provoking international disputes.
Furthermore, the countries involved this time were not only weak and small countries like Qari, but also traditional allies of the United States such as the United Kingdom and Germany.
“Damn it, they better not let me find out who betrayed me. Otherwise, I will teach them a severe lesson!”
Lydia mumbled angrily while retreating quickly.
By now, she had roughly understood what had happened.
Unsurprisingly, her plan had been noticed long before this, but the other party kept silent just so she could fall into their trap. Then, when Lydia’s side thought that they had gained control of the overall situation and were ready to act, the other party would fish in troubled waters and put Lydia at a disadvantage.
In reality, the initial firefight in the mosque was not aimed at the guests in the lobby, but the group Edmund brought.
The mysterious force first attacked Edmund’s men in an ambush in the church, making them think that their plan had been exposed, causing them to launch their attack in advance.
After that, the mysterious force did not focus on the firefight with Edmund’s people but immediately sent people to ‘cover’ Kant and other members of the five major families to divert the calamity.
“Miss, there is a secret passage here. If we go down here, we can pass through the tunnel below and escape quickly.”
Edmund led Lydia to a stone gate with a look of excitement on his face. As long as they walked through this tunnel, they would be safe. There was also joy on Lydia’s face.
Everything would be over as long as they could escape.
At this time, there was a sudden gunshot as the sparks of bullets appeared on the ground under their feet.
“Put down your weapons. We won’t kill you if you hand us your weapons!”
Edmund raised his head upon hearing this, and a Somerlander face appeared in front of him.
“It’s you!” He spotted Rebbeca crawling over with his men right in front of him.
Edmund had previously fought Rebbeca while he was under Yves’ leadership.
Rebbeca had left a deep impression on him at the time, so now, even though Rebbeca was wearing a mask, he still recognized Rebbeca with just a glance. Although Lydia had never met Rebbeca face to face before, she could guess Rebbeca’s identity instantly.
Other than Benita’s men, who else from Somerland would be here?
By now, the truth was revealed.
It was Benita this entire time!
“You’re dead!”
Lydia, who was in a rage, could not think of anything else now. She only wanted to kill everyone related to Benita quickly to take out her hatred. Yet, at this time, Rebbeca stunned her with his words.
“Miss Lydia, my boss told me before coming here that if you don’t want to die, he can make a deal with you.”
Now that there were other people around, it would not be appropriate for Rebbeca to call Benita by name as usual, so he chose to vaguely referred to him as ‘Boss’.
