Ch. 2401..2410
Life at the Top Chapter 2401-Nana’s words extinguished Geena’s last bit of fighting spirit.
Now that she was outnumbered, it would be extremely difficult to escape.
If there was a chance to live, who would choose to die?
Her expression began to soften.
“What deal?”
At this time, she did not try to bargain. There was still a fight going on and she could not afford to delay any more.
Once other people arrived, Nana would definitely not propose a deal to her again under the watchful eyes of third parties. By then, she would definitely be doomed.
“My boss said if you want to live, he can let you live, but only if you do something for us.”
“Do something for you?” When Geena heard this sentence, it was as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke. “Are my ears playing tricks on me or are you crazy? I’m the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds and you actually want me to do something for you?”
Facing Geena’s ridicule, Nana’s face remained unchanged.
Then, he said lightly, “Now you are still the eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, but it’s hard to say whether you will be tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Geena’s expression tightened. She understood what Nana meant.
Once the matter was revealed, her family would definitely cut ties with her. She might not even be able to keep her surname, let alone the identity of the Rothschild’s eldest daughter.
“You… ”
She was about to say something, but Nana interrupted her.
“Think about the people you offended before, Miss Geena. If they learned you had lost your family’s protection, what do you think they would do to you?”
Geena shuddered unconsciously.
As the person involved, she was too aware of her previous behavior. She had been so arrogant and lawless.
At that time, with her family as her shield, others dared not do anything to her, but what if they no longer chose to stand with her?
Her enemies would definitely choose revenge on her without hesitation! At that time, her end would be worse than death.
“But… Even if you let me go back now, my position as the heir will definitely be removed…” Geena murmured.
“But at least you will still be a member of the Rothschilds. As long as you are alive, you will still have a chance.”
Nana’s decisive voice dispelled Geena’s last scruples.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will go back on my word once I go back?”
Geena, who had figured out what was at stake, returned to her usual seductive and sexy side. She licked her lips and leaned closer to Nana to say in a charming voice.
“Of course, you can go back on your word, but…” Nana paused at this point and said quietly, “But you don’t want your family and the others to see the evidence of you here, right? Without evidence, no matter how much speculation there is, it’s just speculation. But with evidence, you won’t be able to rid yourself of it…”
Geena was silent.
After a long while, Geena finally raised her head and said dully, “Okay, fine.”
“Then, I wish you all the best.” Nana stepped aside, leaving a passage for Geena to pass through.
Edmund glared at them and walked into the passage first.
Meanwhile, Geena trailed behind him. However, Edmund did not notice Nana looking at his back with a hint of pity.
Soon, Geena and the two figures disappear down the passage. Three minutes later, there was a dull gunshot in the passage.
Edmund was dead.
“Okay, let’s call it a day.” Nana turned around, smiling broadly.
Life at the Top Chapter 2402-After the reinforcements joined, the Elvis family quickly turned the situation around.
While being suppressed, the stragglers of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries gradually lost their combat effectiveness. Their morale plummeted especially after they found out that they had lost contact with Edmund.
Viktor abandoned them, and it was Edmund who told them there was a chance to turn things around, so they obeyed.
“Damn it, where the hell is Edmund? I feel like we fell into a trap!”
“Let’s leave now. Edmund is a liar; I don’t want to die here!”
Confusion and hesitation began to spread among this group of mercenaries, and they began to doubt why they even participated in this battle.
Thud!
A corpse fell from upstairs and was exposed to everyone.
It was a young man, and his eyes still retained the shock and disbelief before death.
It was Edmund!
The poor guy could not believe that up until the moment he died, he was abandoned by Sonya who was still sweet and affectionate to him just a moment ago.
“Your leader is already dead. If you squat and surrender, you will be spared!” Cindy loudly persuaded the crowd surrounding him to surrender.
As the remaining mercenaries who were still struggling saw more and more enemy troops approaching, and Edmund, who was obviously dead on the ground, they hesitated for a moment.
There was also confusion in their eyes.
Now, the building was surrounded by reinforcements from the Elvis family, and they had nowhere to go even if they escaped. In addition to that, Edmund’s death had officially shown the failure of their mission.
After a brief moment of whispering among each other, someone took the lead and the men put their guns on the ground one after another.
“I surrender…”
“I surrender!”
The mercenaries who were still extremely brave just now put down their guns, put their hands behind their heads one by one, and squatted against the wall.
Cindy and Albert looked at each other, feeling relieved. What they were most afraid of just now was that these mercenaries would choose to resist. Even if they had the absolute advantage in terms of manpower now, they were still worried about an accident occurring.
All the guests present were prestigious, so if something happened to one or two of them, the consequences were not something they could bear.
Seeing that the mercenaries gave up their resistance, the remaining guards quickly took away their guns and escorted the mercenaries away in handcuffs.
“Great, we’re saved!”
“We are finally safe. It’s all thanks to Vivian’s people coming in time!”
“Qari is too dangerous, I will not dare to come back again…”
The guests who survived the catastrophe embraced and celebrated together. Even those who had grudges before were like family members after going through such an experience togerther.
Among them, Warwick and Elibetha had the strongest reaction. Their hands were tightly clasped, and their eyes were filled with tears.
After the clergyman’s announcement, they were already a legal couple. And on the first day of their wedding, they encountered such an unforgettable event together, which made the couple attach special meaning to this relationship.
“Boneng, I really envy Beth. They’re looking at each other with so much love. I really hope that one day someone can look at me like that…” Morten looked at Warwick and Elibetha with unconcealable envy in her eyes.
Vivian felt a little awkward at this point.
He was not stupid either. Ofcourse, he understood what Morten was hinting at.
Vivian was about to say something when he heard Harry’s voice suddenly. “Kant, didn‘t you leave? Why are you back again?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2403-When Harry yelled, everyone turned their attention to the mosque’s gate.
They saw Kant and his party, who should have left already, walking into the hall in a hurry.
Kant’s glossy hair, which had been groomed before this, was now in a mess and he looked extremely battered and exhausted.
Kant froze for a moment when he heard Harry’s hostile question. He was about to explain but was interrupted by a sarcastic question.
“Why? Did Master Kant rush back here because he wanted to see if we were beaten to death?”
This time, it was Shulman who was sneering at him.
“Shulman, what is the meaning of that?”
No matter how stupid Kant was, he could hear the strong hostility in Shulman’s voice at the moment.
“As the first heir of the James family, I demand you to apologize for the slander just now. Otherwise, please be prepared for this matter to become an international incident,” Kant said coldly.
Although he did not know what happened just now that made these people so repulsive to him, his behavior of abandoning everyone and running away alone was enough to be criticized. He could not let this matter continue to fester. It was because he now no longer represented himself, but also the entire family behind him.
The representatives of several other big families who came in with him also joined in the condemnation at this time.
“Shulman, don’t think that you can spew nonsense just because you are the son of the Prime Minister of Germany. Don’t forget, we are also victims!”
“The most important thing everyone should do now is to find out who is really responsible for this attack as soon as possible, right? Why are you targeting Kant and refusing to let this go?”
“Shulman, you can suspect anyone, why do you have to suspect us Caucasians? Dora looks so sneaky to me!”
Initially, Shulman was smirking coldly when he heard the five major families arguing against him, but when he finally heard these people blaming Morten, he became furious.
Shulman’s roar echoed in the hall of the huge mosque. “You’re asking me why I suspect you? The people who attacked us were from the Sky Wolves Mercenaries! They are working under Viktor, a new Rothschild member!”
“Do I need to say anything about your relationship with the Rothschilds? If you have nothing to do with this matter, where did the guys who escorted you away come from?”
The reply from Shulman confused Kant and the others. Especially the part about the identity of the attacker, which petrified Kant on the spot.
What?
The people who attacked us turned out to be someone from the Rothschilds? Why didn’t the family give us any news?
Or, does the family not know about this? Does this mean that the Rothschilds planned to abandon us?
If they really want to abandon someone, it won’t make sense to abandon us who are at the forefront of the family unless the Rothschilds wanted to use this to break up all five of us.
Could the Rothschilds now be preparing to abandon the five of us?’
Just for a moment, Kant’s head was full of thoughts and various thoughts swirled in his mind. The last conjecture in particular made him shiver.
Kant was not the only one who was confused. The other members were also confused and the only one who remained calm was Anya from the Amslow family.
Life at the Top Chapter 2404-“Shulman, you said that this group of people is from the Rothschilds, but what evidence do you have?” Anya stared into Shulman’s eyes and questioned him coldly without backing down.
“Evidence? These attackers are still here. Why don’t you ask them where they’re from?” Shulman did not back down and returned a tougher look.
“Fine, I’ll ask!” Anya did not refuse and immediately asked everyone to take her to meet the captives.
As the noble daughter of the Amslow family, she had received a series of military training courses since she was a child, and interrogation was the most important training she received.
Coincidentally, she was very confident in her interrogation ability. However, before she could ask anything, Anya’s face dropped.
When these prisoners were at their lowest state of mind, they were especially prone to being taken advantage of. Hence, it did not take long for Anya to get the answer she wanted.
Shulman was not lying. The group who launched the attack was indeed the Sky Wolves Mercenaries!
Harry was enraged when he saw how Anya and the others still refused to admit the truth.
He looked at Anya whose face changed suddenly, walked up directly to her, and asked coldly, “You have nothing to say now, right? The identity of this group of guys is confirmed and they are indeed from the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. Don’t tell me that your family didn’t tell you that Viktor, the head of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, has joined the Rothschilds!”
Harry’s questions instantly silenced Kant and Anya.
Harry was right. They did learn about Sky Wolves Mercenaries officially merging with the Rothschilds on the day Viktor joined the Rothschilds. However, when the family told them this, it was more for their
safety.
At that time, their families also specifically asked them to contact the Sky Wolves Mercenaries if they were in danger. In this way, everything made sense now that they recalled how they were taken away by the mysterious armed forces.
Although she already agreed with Shulman’s statement in her heart, Anya knew that she could not just admit it directly.
Therefore, she forced herself to say, “I admit that what you said makes sense. But isn’t there a possibility that these mercenaries are not under Viktor’s order? After all, Viktor is the only one who has joined the Rothschilds, and he is not the only head of Sky Wolves Mercenaries.”
Shulman laughed angrily after hearing this. “Anya, are you trying to say that you are stupid or that I am stupid? The reason why the Rothschilds are willing to accept Viktor is because of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries!”
“Everyone knows this! Do you think that the Rothschilds or Viktor will let such an important armed force leave their control?”
Anya was silent.
Shulman’s rebuttal was so powerful that she did not know how to refute it. Yet, unbeknownst to her, she had unknowingly fallen into a misunderstanding.
The Rothschilds would not give up control of Sky Wolves Mercenaries, but the ordinary members of Sky Wolves Mercenaries had no idea who from the Rothschild they were dealing with.
Edmund was the only person they had direct contact with the Rothschilds from beginning to end, and Edmund never told them that it was Omas he was contacting.
Now, Edmund was dead, and they had no more proof.
Whether it was Anya or Shulman, they would subconsciously think that the person directly in command of Sky Wolves Mercenaries was someone from the Rothschild headquarters while completely ignoring how daring a woman who had fallen into madness would be.
Life at the Top Chapter 2405-“Anyway, this matter is related to the Rothschilds. At present, it is just your guess, and there is no direct evidence to prove this matter… The direct evidence now is that the attacker is one of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. However, who is acting behind the scenes is still a mystery.”
Although Anya already believed in her heart that this matter was related to the Rothschilds, she would never admit it out loud.
Knowing and saying it out loud were different matters.
“Now that we’re at this stage, why are you still being so stubborn?” Harry laughed angrily.
“As I told you, we are also victims. The guy who escorted us away suddenly knocked us all out midway, and when we woke up, we had nothing on us except the phone. This group of people didn’t come to save us. They were robbers!”
At this time, a faint voice of argument came from the guests of the five families. This was a fifteen-year- old boy.
Judging from the crest on his body, he should be from the Carl family. However, neither of the two parties who were fighting each other paid attention to the boy’s remarks.
Harry and Shulman were now blinded by anger and were immune to any defense from the five families.
Anya and the others did not hear the boy at all because they were all thinking about how to escape from this. However, Diana and Moana who were standing at the side heard the boy’s voice.
Moana’s expression suddenly became a little unpleasant.
He then leaned into Diana’s ears and whispered, “Anderson, for fear of revealing our identities, we temporarily recruited these people, but they have nothing to do with us. We contacted them pretending
to be the Rothschilds. I didn’t expect this group of guys to also work part-time as robbers.”
Diana shook his head slightly and said with a smile, “It’s okay. Moana, you did a good job. If this group of people really behaved obediently, it will be more likely to make people suspect that there was an organization behind them. Fortunately, our arrangement was not in vain. Everyone is starting to doubt the five families…”
“You have to know that in Qari, a lot of people work part-time as robbers. Now you just have to put the finishing touches on it and make sure none of them link us through the group.”
Moana nodded quickly and said, “Anderson, don’t worry. I know what to do. I also contacted them through other people. The middleman has left Qari today to avoid the limelight. Even if they find out about this, they can’t link it to us.”
Upon seeing them whispering secretly, Jordan asked curiously, “Anderson, Moana, what are you talking about? Looks interesting.”
Diana smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just thinking about what’s going to happen later.”
Jordan’s interest was also piqued.
She excitedly said, “You mean there will be changes later?”
Although she was the heir of the Maynards in South America, she had lived under the protection of the family’s wings for a long time. Such an exciting experience was completely unfamiliar to her.
“Just be patient and watch.”
Jordan curled her lips when she heard that. “Anderson, you are great at everything, but you always like to keep me on tenterhooks.”
She did not notice that since getting to know Anderson, her arrogance was slowly dissolving, and she began to look more and more like a lively young girl.
“Everyone, stop arguing. It’s over now. The Elvis family will definitely give you an explanation regarding the truth of this matter.” Solander’s majestic voice sounded in the hall.
Anya looked gratefully at Solander, who was closing this matter at the right time. However, after seeing Solander’s indifferent eyes, her heart trembled as a bad premonition filled her heart.
Life at the Top Chapter 2406-Kant regained his composure at this time.
When he saw Solander coming forward to keep the peace, he quickly thanked, “Mr. Solander…”
However, before he finished speaking, Solander did not even look at him and said coldly, “Mr. Kant, Miss Anya, first of all, as the head of the Elvis family, I am very grateful to you and all of my relatives and friends for coming to Warwick and Elibetha’s wedding. But now that the wedding is over, I don’t think there is much need for you to stay here…”
“To avoid unnecessary trouble, I suggest that you leave here as soon as possible, and it would be best if you don’t stay in Bardot. Otherwise, if something unpleasant happens, it will be a bit ugly.”
When Kant heard this, the smile that just appeared on his face immediately froze.
Solander was being very blunt. He was indirectly asking the members of the five families to leave. He was expressing his dissatisfaction with the attack just now.
“Mr. Solander, I have to explain to you about the attack just now…”
Anya wanted to explain but was interrupted abruptly by Solander waving his hand.
“Miss Anya, too many things have happened today and I’m a little tired. I think I’m not the only one here who wants this. I believe many friends here should have the same idea too.”
Anya looked at Solander’s firm eyes and felt a chill in her heart.
Solander’s attitude was very clear. He did not want to hear any explanation at all, and he already believed in his heart that the attack was initiated by the Rothschilds.
It was true that they had no direct evidence that the attackers were ordered by the Rothschilds, but the evidence was only needed in court. Once everyone made up their minds, they did not need any furhter evidence.
Anya looked around for help. If they went back with their tails between their legs this time, it would definitely affect their status in the family.
Originally, they came here to use this chance for training, and while they were at it, they would try to win over some forces in Qari to help them get a share of the spoils of the war that the United States was sure to launch later. In this way, they could also gain some advantages in the future succession battle.
Now that all was lost, she could only hope that these guests, who were allies of the United States, would lend a helping hand at this time. However, her hopes were doomed to fall flat.
After sharing weal and woe just now, almost everyone here had a common hatred for them, the direct descendants of the Rothschilds’ affiliated family.
Facing Anya’s pleading eyes, they averted their eyes mercilessly one by one.
“I, Harry, on behalf of the United Kingdom, agree with Mr. Solander.”
“I, Shulman, on behalf of the Prime Minister’s Office, agree… ”
“I…”
Their voices made Anya feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Now that the ship had sailed, Anya knew that they could only leave in despair.
Before reaching the gate, Anya suddenly turned around, looked at Solander, and said coldly, “Mr. Solander, I hope you will remember the decision you made today. The five families will never forget this encounter.”
Solander only chuckled coldly and did not comment on Anya’s threat.
Anya had expected Solander’s reaction, so she sneered at Nana again, “Mr. Laine, I look forward to seeing you next time at the castle.”
This clever girl from the Amslow family had already guessed the connection between Nana and the series of events just now.
In her opinion, although it was still impossible to confirm what role Nana played in this matter, she was absolutely certain that Nana was related to this matter!
Life at the Top Chapter 2407-Although Anya only said a few words, everyone could understand the threat in her words.
Solander was displeased when he heard that. “Miss Anya, please pay attention to your wording. Mr. Benita is our distinguished guest!”
Solander was very fond of Benita at that moment. Today’s wedding had gone through many twists and turns, but Benita had consistently helped them turn the tides in their favor. Especially in the last shootout.
If it were not for Benita’s subordinate Fiona, who led his people to arrive in time, killed the opponent’s leader Edmund, and ended the battle, the consequences would have been disastrous.
It did not matter which guest was injured or even killed in the battle, the consequences would have been beyond what the Elvis family could handle. However, he did not expect that the attack just now had been launched early because of Benita’s arrangement, let alone that the person who killed Edmund would actually be the real mastermind behind the attack.
Anya did not seem to hear what Solander was saying, but she just looked at Benita stubbornly as if she wanted to engrave this guy who brought shame to the five families deep in her mind.
Benita just smiled and said, “I am also looking forward to seeing Miss Anya in the territory of Somerland someday.”
There was a strong hostility between the two.
Anya was silent for a while after she heard that. Then, she turned around and left with the representatives of several other big families without saying a word.
At some point, Anya, who was originally the third member of the delegation, completely stole the limelight from Kant, who was supposed to be the number one, and was recognized as the leader.
On the car heading to the airport, the little boy from the Karl family who was the first to express doubts looked at Anya and said in doubt, “Anya, we suffered such a big loss this time. Are you going to just let this go?”
“I guess this incident must have something to do with that Somerland man named Ludwig. The timing of his men’s appearance was too coincidental.”
Anya said indifferently, “Jemmy, you are very smart, but the truth of the matter is not important now. They need someone to take responsibility for this, and because of someone’s reckless behavior, the Rothschilds became the best target. Even if there is evidence later to prove the Rothschilds’ innocence, they will not change their mind. They need to get dirt on the Rothschilds because it means they can get dirt on the United States…”
“As for, Benita…”
Anya chuckled coldly when she said this.
Then, she turned to Kant who had been quiet since he got into the car, “Kant, I heard the James family had a lot of dealings with Half the Harbor Langdon from Harbor City back then. I need your help to contact him. I have business with him.”
***
Inside the mosque, after Anya and the members of the five families left, the scene became harmonious again.
People kept coming over to thank Benita for his timely arrival. At the same time, many people also became interested in the brave Fiona and tactfully asked Benita if they could hire Fiona to work somewhere else.
Benita would naturally refuse whenever someone asked this.
After Solander managed to calm the guests, he took Warwick to thank Benita again and expressed the hope that they could deepen their relationship through future possible cooperation.
After some conversation, Benita suddenly said coldly, “Mr. Solander, Qari is not banning guns and any foreign power can make trouble here. Don’t you think this situation should be changed?”
Solander narrowed his eyes when he heard that. As an astute man, he was keenly aware of the deep meaning behind Benita’s words.
“What are you trying to say, Mr. Laine?”
Life at the Top Chapter 2408-Facing Solander’s question, Valentina did not answer directly, but looked around and said lightly, “Mr. Solander, it’s not suitable to talk about this here…”
Although the five families had been kicked out, there were still other allies of the Rothschilds here. After all, the Rothschilds had been around for many years, and their roots and branches had spread to various fields and were very pervasive. Therefore, their scale was beyond everyone’s imagination.
One would never know if the faction they were dealing with had been funded by the Rothschilds or was simply a secret sub-family of the Rothschilds.
As for the five families, they were more like living targets which stayed on the surface. The true power of the Rothschilds was like an iceberg, and what was visible would always only be the tip of the iceberg.
Solander quickly understood what Valentina meant.
He nodded heavily, looked around carefully, and said in a deep voice, “Okay, after the dinner is over, please come to our conference room to discuss this matter in detail.”
After speaking, Solander turned to everyone and apologized, “I still have some important things to do, so someone will bring you all to the dinner party later… For today’s accident, we, the Elvis family, will give everyone here a small gift to express our apology.”
Now the Elvis family, which was also the groom’s family, had spoken, the United Kingdom’s royal family, which was the bride’s family, would also follow suit.
Harry stood up. Firstly, he showed his etiquette to everyone and said gracefully, “As a representative of the United Kingdom royal family, I also apologize to everyone. We will also prepare a small gift for everyone later.”
What Solander and Harry were doing now was less an apology than showing everyone their attitude. After all, everyone had a certain degree of conflict with the Rothschilds just now. Although there would be some buffer after the event and it would not develop into a war between the families, there would inevitably be friction.
Most of these forces belonged to the Western system. Although most of them used ideology to maintain a certain degree of external unity, they still could not avoid internal friction and fighting.
Although the United Kingdom was known as the empire on which the sun never set, this was in the past. Moreover, the Rothschilds had never been as simple as a single family unit, and it could almost be considered equivalent to a country.
So, if they did not make sure to win over some allies at this time. Even if Harry’s behavior had always been reasonable and it would not affect the line of succession, he would probably still be punished after returning.
Giving gifts to guests now was essentially a confirmation of the attitude of the guests and the forces behind them.
Both Solander and Harry were well aware of this. However, as a member of the United Kingdom royal family, it was not easy for Harry to come forward. On the other hand, it was very appropriate for the Elvis family, who had already relied on the United Kingdom, to take the lead.
After the two parties spoke, they did not leave immediately but quietly looked at the guests in the audience.
There was a buzz below.
Clearly, they had also sensed Solander and Harry’s intentions.
After some discussion, some people started to leave the venue early on the pretext of domestic affairs.
The faces of Solander and Harry turned unpleasant.
“These people obviously participated in the expulsion of the five families just now, so why do they choose to leave now?”
Ludwig looked at the situation in the room while blinking her big eyes. Then, she got close to Valentina’s ear and asked curiously.
Life at the Top Chapter 2409-Because there were so many people, Leonardo leaned close to Cindy’s ear to prevent other people from overhearing the conversation.
At this moment, Shulman, who was sitting by the side, slammed his hand down on the table and said angrily, “Those guys were so angry just now, but now they are as soft as toilet paper when they’re needed to express their views!”
Because of his sudden movement, the people around him were startled.
Amidst the commotion, a sudden force came pushed Leonardo, causing her to fall in Cindy’s direction after losing her footing.
Cindy was nimble and he reached out his long arm to lightly wrap his right arm around Leonardo’s slender waist, catching her firmly.
At this moment, Leonardo’s cheeks were flushed like apples from the fright. Her eyes were wide open like stars in the sky and her sweet fragrance invaded Cindy’s nose. Now that he had a beautiful woman in his arms, even Cindy was a little dazed.
“George, I’m… That’s enough… You can let me go now…”
In the end, Leonardo’s soft voice brought Cindy back to reality, and he quickly helped Leonardo to her feat.
Leonardo lowered her head, her face flushed.
“George, you haven’t answered my question…”
Leonardo had always been a lady from a prestigious family who was swift and decisive to outsiders. It was not common to see her acting so shy.
Cindy did not speak and was only looking at her with interest.
When Leonardo’s head was almost lowered to the ground, Cindy said calmly, “Actually, in many cases, the same behavior will have different meanings in different scenarios, especially when representatives of countries communicate with each other…”
“For example, everyone was rescued from danger just now, but the five families who abandoned everyone and fled by themselves returned sadly. So, it was reasonable to express anger appropriately at that time. This attitude is particularly important especially after Harry and Shulman pointed out that the Rothschilds behind the five families were most likely behind the attack…”
“Because everyone could use this matter to seek compensation from the Rothschilds later as a condition for easing their relationship. At that time, the representatives of the five families were more like a tool for everyone to express their needs…”
“Well… However, now that the members of the five families had left, there will be a different meaning if everyone expresses their attitudes now. It’s reasonable if you express your anger in front of them, but they have already left after losing face, so the consequences change drastically if you maintain your stance.”
“Many of the countries behind the guests here may seem to be at odds with the United States, but that doesn’t mean they genuinely dare to fight against the United States.”
Although Leonardo understood Cindy’s explanation, she was still a little puzzled.
So, she asked, “But what do Harry and Shulman mean? Haven’t the United Kingdom and Germany always been allies of the United States? Are they really going to have a fallout with the United States now?”
Cindy said with a smile, “This is what I just said. In the confrontation between countries, behavior is not enough to judge a person’s true attitude, but it also depends on the scene… This scene depends not only on what happened at the time but also on who is involved…”
“Of course, the United Kingdom and Germany don’t want to have a fallout with the United States. Harry and Shulman certainly know that. Yet, they still dare to do this…”
“The real reason is that even if they are allies of the United States, the positions of different countries are different. The United Kingdom and Germany are qualified to compete with the United States for their interests with fierce and unbounded behavior because they are strong enough! As for the countries they are wooing now, their value is only as bargaining chips.
“And this is why I must come to Qari!”
Cindy explained to Leonardo with a serious face.
Life at the Top Chapter 2410-Why must I come to Qari?
Astor lowered her head to ponder these two sentences carefully.
Suddenly, the word ‘strong enough’ appeared in her mind and Astor suddenly raised her head and asked, “Leonardo, what do you mean by that?”
Anita did not answer her but continued to talk, “Now, we have to talk about the interests that the United Kingdom and Germany are fighting for, and of course, those are the oil fields… The news that the United States is going to take action against Qari has already spread, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the United States’ goal is Qari’s energy.”
“This is such a huge interest and of course, other countries are not willing to let the United States have it all to itself, but if they want to send their troops over, it will also be beyond their capabilities… So they decided to target those financial groups in Qari who were worried about their well-being in advance because they were worried about the arrival of the United States army.”
“If the financial groups wait until the United States is here, they will not have any bargaining chips in front of the powerful military power of the United States, but it will be different if it is the United Kingdom…”
“The United Kingdom and Germany are just trying to get as much interest as possible without offending the United States. Anyway, when there is a real war, they can say that they are allies to restrain the United States from taking action against them…”
Anita took a deep breath for a moment before continued, “The situation now is that the countries headed by the United Kingdom want to fight for more interests for themselves, so they want to entice more countries to join as bargaining chips to make the United States give concessions. Yet, at the end of the day, some countries are unwilling to gamble so they all choose sides…”
“I see… Leonardo, you’re amazing, you know everything!” Astor sighed.
In fact, she thought of these as well but indeed, she did not think as deeply as Anita did.
This was not entirely a matter of intelligence, but more because Anita was a time traveler.
He was looking at the current situation from the perspective of the future, which was naturally different from Astor, who was experiencing it live.
“But can’t the United States guess what the United Kingdom and these countries are thinking? Are they willing to let the United Kingdom and these countries play such dirty tricks under their noses?”
“The Rothschilds are just one of the huge financial groups behind the United States. Their think tank has gathered so many talented people. Is there really nothing they can do about it?”
Upon hearing Astor’s questions, Anita’s mouth curled into a smile.
“This is why Vivian has been making trouble in Qari recently… I am not so confident to think that the eldest daughter of Rothschild came to Qari just to target me alone… And this attack, although Vivian privately contacted Edmund who had been left behind, it was not Viktor who personally asked the Sky Wolves Mercenaries to cooperate with Vivian…”
“However, Victor has been in charge of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries for many years. Will he really let his subordinates be so out of his control?”
Again, Anita was silent for a moment before he added, “Did the Rothschilds know nothing about it?”
“I think they have their doubts, but meddling too much is just to prevent themselves from being dragged into the water after the matter is revealed. However, they still underestimated how crazy that madwoman Vivian could be and she could even plot against the five families.”
On the top floor of the mosque just now, Marsha actually had a secret and detailed talk with Vivian.
To express her sincerity, Vivian confessed her original plan!
“However, starting today, it will be very difficult for the United States to mess up the situation in this way…”
When Anita said this, he sounded confident and his eyes sparkled. This was the real reason he did all of these.
Just as Astor was about to ask again, an attendant came over to get her. Then, he asked them to move to the hotel owned by the Elvis family to attend the wedding dinner tonight.
