Ch. 2431..2440

Life at the Top Chapter 2431-Over the next few days, Anita was very calm and completely ignored all calls from the anxious Elvis family.

In the end, under Barne’s constant persuasion, he agreed to let her tell Warwick and Elibetha that they were fine, and at the same time, she asked them not to spread it to the outside world.

As for Mr. McNeal and others in Somerland, Anita also informed them one by one. In addition to these few people and his relatives and friends in Somerland, the suspected death of Mandra, the boss of W Group, instantly became big news in Qari.

It was just that for some strange reason, this news had never made its way back to Somerland. Even if someone with good intentions secretly wrote about this, they would all receive a warning from a mysterious department immediately.

In Qari, Anita’s ‘death’ caused a huge storm.

The gun ban and anti-surveillance actions, already on the verge of execution, were quickly passed in Qari parliament at an extraordinary speed due to this incident. In terms of execution, it could also be described as unprecedented.

All of a sudden, the overseas forces that had planted many chess pieces in Qari were also suffering.

***

Smash!

A beautifully shaped ashtray inlaid with gold was smashed to the ground and broken into pieces.

“Who told you to go to the Elvis family’s wedding to make trouble!” Viktor roared at the silent subordinates in front of him.

He had just returned from Rothschild Castle, and as soon as he arrived at his home base, official personnel came to collect their guns.

Facing the well-prepared soldiers with live ammunition, the Sky Wolves Mercenaries, caught off guard, obediently handed over their weapons. Although they secretly hid some weapons in other places because they were worried that their old lair would be invaded by their opponents, the loss this time was enough to make them feel pain.

What annoyed Viktor most was not the property loss caused by the seizure of the guns themselves, but the fact that the ban on guns had greatly reduced the value of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. After all, the reason Rothschild was willing to take Viktor in to be a member of the family was because of the super combat effectiveness of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries.

However, now that the ban on guns was promulgated, all mercenary groups began to exist in name only, at least they could no longer launch attacks as unscrupulously as before. The value of the recruited mercenary groups had shrunk greatly in an instant.

Having no value also meant they could be abandoned at any time. And this was all because that goddamn Edmund took it upon himself to bring people to raid the Elvis family’s wedding!

Hmph, Edmund, you should be glad you’re dead, or I’ll let you know that sometimes death is actually a gift!

Viktor’s heart was in excruciating pain, but he had to bear with it at the moment.

He did not know that Edmund was ordered by Viola to launch the attack, otherwise, the pain in his heart would only deepen. He had been longing for the Rothschilds to be his backer, but, in the end, because of them, the mercenary group he relied on for survival was facing a life-and-death crisis.

How ironic!

Bam!

The door was pushed open heavily.

Viktor looked at the panicked subordinates and roared, “You’d better give me a reasonable reason for why you broke in without any explanation! After that, I will consider whether to dismember your corpses!”

However, the subordinates ignored Viktor’s threats and wailed directly, “Captain, bad news! People from the Elvis family are here!”

Viktor’s face turned pale in an instant.

The Elvis family was out for revenge. Many of the Elvis family’s guards had actual official military backgrounds, so they were not subject to the gun ban.

Almost at the same time, the same scene was happening with every other mercenary group.

A mercenary group without weapons was like a tiger without teeth. What awaited them would be revenge from their enemies. No one would be willing to let go of an opportunity to kill an enemy while they were down.

At the same time, there was a roar from the Rothschild Castle, far away on the other side of the ocean.

Life at the Top Chapter 2432-“Are you saying we don’t have any armed forces in Qari now?”

“The pawn Viktor, that we have worked so hard to place, is worthless?”

A cold voice came from the phone. Although separated by a phone, there was still a powerful and incomparable force coming from the voice.

This was the aura that could only be cultivated after getting used to life and death. Just his voice alone could give people tremendous pressure.

“Sir, I am responsible for this matter.”

Paulson fell to the ground, his back dripping with cold sweat. At the same time, his face was full of fear.

Although Sir was not around now, he dared not waste any time. After all, he never knew if Sir’s spy would be hiding around the corner.

“He” could be that beautiful lady he met yesterday, or the cook who served him for years, or even his wife who had been with him half his life and shared a bed with him.

Sir was omnipotent and omniscient. This was the consensus of the entire Rothschild family. No one would question or disobey him.

This was the prestige accumulated by the Rothschilds’ hidden patriarch after many years of being in power and influencing the global position. Yet now, Paulson clearly felt that Sir was genuinely fuming this time.

It had long been known that the United States had attempted to invade Qari. Whenever there was a war, there would surely be significant profits. Of course, the Rothschilds, who made their fortune by betting on war, were not ignorant of this truth.

This time, the Rothschilds were betting on the Qari armed forces.

Once the war started, their mercenary group could cooperate with the United States army to act together and take advantage of the chaos of the war. While doing that, they could take the opportunity to plunder Qari’s assets. As for the other Qari forces that had been bribed in advance, they were more like fuel to the flames, and their ultimate fate was to become one of Rothschild’s many puppets.

Now, because of the gun ban, the Qari mercenaries were on the road to extinction, and the Rothschilds’ plan would essentially come to naught.

How could Sir not get angry?

Just as Paulson was thinking about how to explain to Sir, he heard his cold voice again. “So… Why don’t you pass the blame on to Anita?”

Paulson shuddered on hearing this.

“I… I dare not, I have always been in charge of the matters in Qari, and Anita just happened to be in Qari. Even if she’s causing a lot of trouble, it’s because I didn’t call her back in time when such a big mistake occurred…”

“And the last disaster was also due to the sudden action of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries. There is no evidence to prove that it is related to Anita. It is my fault. The responsibility lies with me!”

Paulson still kept his head down, not daring to breathe too loudly.

He understood that even if everyone knew that everything that happened in Qari resulted from Anita’s reckless behavior, no one was qualified to blame Anita except Sir.

Anita was extremely arrogant, stuck up, and reckless, but she was still Sir’s favorite daughter above everything. The reason she was able to do this was precisely because of her father’s connivance. Accusing Anita would be tantamount to disobeying Sir.

“It’s good that you know. You don’t have to interfere with Qari’s affairs after this. Leave it to Cherriman…”

Cherriman was Paulson’s younger brother. He was ambitious and he had been trying to seize power from Paulson.

“Yes, Sir…” Paulson lowered his head, trying to hide the unwillingness in his eyes.

“Okay, you can leave now. Tell Anita to come in.”

“Sure…” Paulson bowed his head and hurried out of the room.

Soon, a tall and enchanting figure walked into the room.

Life at the Top Chapter 2433-Hezti was now disheveled and had fresh scars on her face. She had just fled back to the castle and she did not have time to tidy herself up.

Her eyes, which used to be full of wildness, unexpectedly had a little more stability now. Although This not only did not reduce her charm but in fact, gave her an indescribable allure.

“Hezti, you lost…” Unlike the harsh treatment Paulson got just now, Sir’s voice this time had a touch of fondness.

When Hezti heard this gentle voice, not only was there no joy on her face but there was a trace of panic and fear in her eyes. She hurriedly fell to her knees.

“I am mainly responsible for what happened to Qari this time. I am also the one who caused the gun ban after the mosque attack!”

Hezti did not hide anything and directly told Sir what she did in Qari. She knew that even if she could hide what she did from others, she definitely could not hide them from Sir.

Anyone who thought they were smart to try to deceive Sir would only get the cruelest punishment in the world.

“You are pretty honest and you never thought of hiding. It seems you’ve matured a lot after this trip to Qari…”

Sir’s voice on the phone was full of emotion. However, Hezti’s body was shaking more and more violently.

She was now nominally the eldest daughter of the Rothschild family, but she was not Sir’s first daughter.

She remembered that the actual eldest daughter of the Rothschilds, her elder sister, was imprisoned in a dungeon and died from torture immediately after Sir praised her maturity.

No one in the entire family was even allowed to mention the name of the eldest daughter. In this way, her sister disappeared completely from the world together with all the traces of her. And if she could not give Sir a satisfactory answer, she would end up the way that eldest daughter did.

“I heard that the mercenaries who attacked the mosque were wiped out, and even their leader was killed on the spot. You are lucky to escape… It’s not luck…”

Hezti raised her head and the familiar wildness appeared in her eyes again.

“Oh?”

“I killed Edmund to cover up the fact that I was the one who led the attack… I was able to escape not because I was so good, but because I promised Nori to be his spy in the Rothschilds family. Because of that, he agreed to let me out. In return, he promised me that he won’t reveal that I was the real perpetrator of the mosque attack.”

There was silence on the phone.

It seemed that Sir did not expect Hezti to tell him everything so directly.

“So… Are you not afraid that I will punish you?” Sir’s voice was still gentle, but this time, there was a trace of murderous intent in it.

“No, you won’t. Since I can be Nori’s spy in the family, I can also beat him at his own game and become the family’s spy to spy on Mozart. Or even a spy in Somerland.”

After she finished speaking, there was silence on the phone.

Cold sweat drenched Hezti’s back but she insisted on looking at the dark corner ahead. However, her trembling wrists hidden in her sleeves exposed her nervousness.

“Hezti, it seems that you’ve really matured…”

After a sigh, a figure wrapped in a black robe appeared out of thin air in front of the dark and empty space.

It’s Sir!

He had been in the room the whole time and he was hiding his figure completely in some way. The voice on the phone was simply a smokescreen.

Hezti was not surprised when she saw this. Then, her back straightened. It was because she knew she did not have to die.

Life at the Top Chapter 2434-“You said you were going to be Yolanda’s spy, but according to news from Qari, he has disappeared for along time… In addition, there is reliable information that he went to Bardot airport on the day he disappeared, and on the same day, the Kurt family sent a killer to Bardot. As a result, the council’s think tank believes that Yolanda is dead… You said all this to Show that you are still useful. But now that he’s dead, how are you going to be his spy?”

Sir’s face was completely hidden by the brim of his hood, so Chyntia could not see his expression. His voice was full of suspicion at the moment.

“That’s because they haven’t dealt with Yolanda and don’t know him at all…”

“How could a person like him die so easily in the hands of an unknown killer? Kimbra isn’t capable of that. And if he is really dead, the news that I ordered the attack on the mosque would have been flying all over the world by now. No matter what this man does, he will always have a backup plan. So, I don’t believe he can’t foresee that,” Chyntia said confidently.

She had dealt with Yolanda so many times and she had been defeated repeatedly, so she figured she understood him well enough.

“Then, what are you going to do next?”

Facing Sir’s inquiry, Chyntia spoke with eloquence, “If there are no changes, his next target will be the Kurt family. The reason why he has been playing dead now is to numb Kimbra so that he can succeed with the last blow. And before he does anything, he will definitely look for me and ask me to provide him with information about the Kurt family.”

Sir laughed, “So you are going to tell Kimbra so that he can prepare in advance?”

“No, on the contrary, I will cooperate with Moses. I will not tell Kimbra that Yolanda is still alive and I will truthfully tell Yolanda all I know. I will take action when he is most proud of himself and let him end in tears when he thinks he is about to rescue Baltimore.”

Chyntia’s voice was full of hatred when she spoke of her plan.

“What about Kimbra? Are you not afraid that something will go wrong with him? The Kurt family is our very important pawn in Qari. Sooner or later he will know that you have lied to him, which will then affect our layout in Qari…”

When Chyntia heard Sir’s question, she smiled confidently. “Even if Kimbra found out the truth afterward, so what? He is not the only one in the Kurt family…”

“I remember that he also has a three-year-old brother. At worst, he will make his brother the patriarch. Anyway, they are all from the same family. Also, Kimbra is a little out of control. He sent someone to assassinate Yolanda without notifying us! Even if he doesn’t win the position of patriarch in the end, we’ll just make this a small lesson to him.”

When Chyntia said the last sentence, there was even a murderous look in her eyes.

Sir nodded in satisfaction as he heard the murderous intent in Chyntia’s voice.

“Very well, Chyntia… It seems that you have really grown up. We Rothschilds should be so domineering. Why should we care about other people’s opinions?”

“In the future, I will continue to give you all the support I can, and I hope you will not let me down…”

When Sir said this, he suddenly paused as he heard some noise from the earphone.

Someone must have called him.

When the sound from the earphone disappeared, the smile on Sir’s face disappeared and it was replaced by a chill that seemed to freeze the room.

“Chyntia, you have to hurry up. Qari actually came up with an anti-surveillance operation. It will be too late if you dilly-dally.”

Life at the Top Chapter 2435-“Yes, Sir!”

Hezti looked serious. It was hard to tell how Sir felt so it was difficult to judge his thoughts from his actions. However, there was one thing that was the consensus of the Rothschild.

That was, the calmer Sir’s tone was, the more serious the matter was.

Just now, Sir was calm when he heard about the ban on guns. The more he punished someone, the more it showed that he did not care about it.

On the contrary, judging from Sir’s appearance just now, it seemed that the anti-surveillance operation had really disrupted his plan.

So, was it also possible to uncover the chess pieces laid by Sir by investigating this operation?

“Sir, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first…” Hezti lowered her head, trying her best to hide this dangerous thought from her.

“Go ahead…” With Sir’s permission, Hezti walked out of the room quickly.

When she came out, she touched her back. It was soaked.

Bokir, you seem to have truly offended Sir this time. I’m curious about your fate next…

Also, don’t think that if you drive away Half-the-Harbor Langdon, Sawyer, and the others, you will be able to secure your seat in Harbor City. We have all the time in the world to play with you.

Hezti lowered her head and whispered to herself.

She had heard about the anti-surveillance operation some time back. Although the matter was brought up by Warwick, there was no doubt that it was Benita who uncovered the secret that the Rothschilds were secretly monitoring important figures in Qari. Moreover, judging from Sir’s reaction, the scale of this anti-surveillance operation was absolutely huge. So it was not something a second generation of Warwick’s family could promote.

Benita must have contributed to the flames behind the scenes. Even if Benita defeated Soros in one fell swoop before, in Sir’s view, he was just a child with little ability.

Yet, after this incident, he was much more dangerous in Sir’s eyes. This also meant that Benita would also be farther and farther away from danger. Because Sir had his eyes on him now. And in this world, there was nothing Sir could not do.

This was the consensus held by Rothschild.

With this in mind, Hezti’s mood improved and she walked out of the castle humming.

From the beginning to end, neither Sir nor Hezti seemed to care that, once they broke the contract and dealt with Benita head-on, Benita might reveal the truth about the attack on the mosque.

Why should the Rothschild care about what others say when they want to do something?

The Rothschilds were behind the world’s largest media companies. If they could control what the media said, anything they said would be the truth!

This was the Rothschilds’ confidence!

***

An abandoned warehouse somewhere in Qari.

Snow hid in the basement panting heavily. At the same time, he could hear the voices of soldiers above searching for him.

After a while, the footsteps above disappeared and Snow took a breath.

Although he knew about the anti-surveillance operation from Benita and Warwick, he did not expect Qari’s operation to be so powerful!

In just a short time, several of their monitoring points were destroyed. Even the insider who was arranged to install monitoring equipment in the office of the head of government was caught on the spot!

If he was slightly slower, he would probably be in Qari’s prison with those unlucky bastards by now.

Thinking this, he began to regret the initiative to join the monitoring department.

Normally, he could still use his American identity to escape the charges. However, since the leader of the surveillance was involved this time, he did not dare to reveal his identity at all!

Life at the Top Chapter 2436-The same thing was happening in different corners of Qari. Because of Snow ‘leading the way’, the result even far exceeded the expectations of Warwick and others this time.

“Bolot, it’s all thanks to your idea, otherwise, we wouldn’t know the Elvis family has been infiltrated.”

Warwick’s voice on the phone sounded grateful.

Initially, after Maurina disappeared, he was as nervous as everyone else. Later, it was Elibetha who found out from Mozart and told him that Maurina was still alive. In the end, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Warwick, trust me, this is not just happening to your family…”

“The United States has planned this operation for a long time and they must have made complete preparations in advance. These spies and bugs are like time bombs, and they will all explode the day the war starts. However, since you are now prepared, things won’t be too bad.”

Maurina stood by the window as he held the phone and soothed Warwick softly.

“Yeah, fortunately, we found out early. Otherwise, I’m really afraid that our family will become the next Kurt family…” Warwick sounded fearful.

It could be said that Kimbra’s seizure of power was a wake-up call for the heirs of the big families in Qari. After all, no one wanted to wake up and find themselves behind bars.

These big families would never allow external forces to interfere in their internal affairs and encourage the family members to seize power. This was their bottom line!

“Okay, okay, I’m hanging up now. Remember to tell the others not to arrest that Snow person. He will be of great use in the future.”

After confirming with Warwick, Maurina hung up the phone with satisfaction and caught sight of Ludwig lying on the sofa, playing games.

Ludwig now looked unkempt. He did not look like that prestigious Mr. Jefferson back in Somerland anymore.

In the past few days, he had experienced a huge difference from being smug to feeling lost. Now, he had turned into a good boy.

Ludwig saw that Maurina finished the call, so he quickly threw the phone aside and asked expectedly, “Bolot,.. Bolot, now that the gun ban has been implemented and the anti-surveillance operation has completed smoothly too, there should be no more changes in the external environment.”

“So can we go save the Kurt family now?”

Ludwig had been bored to death these days. He had been doing nothing every day and none of the big things he imagined happened. Moreover, it was not as fun here as it was back home. Now he was starting to wonder why he came to Qari to suffer.

“It’s still too soon. The gun ban and the anti-surveillance operation have only just begun. If the ban on guns works, it will not be effective until the underground weapon depots of those mercenary regiments are seized. As for the anti-surveillance operation, do you think that the only things the United States have installed in Qari are those cameras and spies?”

“Ah? Then what else do they have?” Ludwig froze.

“That’s just the basics. What the United States really want is the data that’s sitting in the computers. If you want to get rid of the eyes they have planted here, it won’t be of much use if you don’t work hard on this. However, isn’t this our opportunity?”

Life at the Top Chapter 2437-“Our chance?” Rowan was completely stunned.

We’re talking about the Qari anti-surveillance operation…

How is that related to us?

No matter how well this matter was implemented, the beneficiary was only Qari, and at most, it would only help remove spies when dealing with the Kurt family later.

“The United States wants intelligence from the computers of the other countries and of course, we also want theirs. This time, we have mastered in advance the information of their agents here, so we can use these agents to find their vulnerabilities in reverse and attack them! Just imagine, if we can grasp their movements in advance, how much advantage will that bring us?”

Anita’s eyes sparkled when he said that. It was because he suddenly thought of someone!

Assange!

The famous founder of WikiLeaks in later generations!

He and Snow had partnered to release confidential intelligence information of the United States to the public so that PRISM was truly exposed to the public.

Unlike Snow, Assange was a hacker!

According to Anita’s historical knowledge, Assange should now be preparing to build WikiLeaks somewhere in Bardot.

“But… Boneng, what does the intelligence of the United States have to do with us? We are just businessmen… Also, it’s impossible for us to obtain much effective information. Even if it’s that easy, it won’t be up to us.”

Anita smiled mysteriously, “It’s indeed not that easy as you mentioned. But it’s different now because there is someone in Bardot who can do this…”

“As for confidential intelligence documents, I never expect to get anything from them. What I want to do is just create enough trouble for them. In this way, they will reduce their time and energy on the technological blockade so that we will have the opportunity to survive and develop our own industry and high technology.”

Rowan touched his head, his eyes showing confusion.

Although he came from a prestigious family and once ran an industrial company, he was still a playboy at heart, and couldn’t think so far ahead. It was only after working with Anita that he truly began to understand what business was all about.

What Anita said now was beyond his understanding.

Anita looked at the confused Rowan and did not take him seriously.

He said with a smile, “Didn’t you keep urging me to find something for you to do all this time? Now, I have a task for you… After we’re done with this, we will go to the Kurt family. And when that’s settled, we will have to rely on you to run our industrial business in Qari.”

“Huh? What is it? Boneng, I promise to complete it satisfactorily and live up to your expectations!”

When Rowan heard that Anita had something for him to do, he stood up abruptly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. At this moment, he even felt a little impatient.

“Your task… Is to go to the forum to chat with someone and make friends with him. Even better if you can get his contact and meet in person.”

“Huh?” Rowan was stunned, “Boneng, are you sure? Is that the task you arranged for me?”

Anita did not bother to explain. So, he just gave Rowan a URL and a screen name.

“If you don’t want to go back to Somerland defeated, then listen to me.”

If he remembered correctly, according to the information disclosed by later generations, that would be Assange’s current screen name and it was through this forum that he met Snow.

Life at the Top Chapter 2438-Bjorne, who received a new task, left as frustrated as he was excited when he arrived.

Seeing Bjorne walk away slowly as if carrying a heavy burden on his back, Ludwig could not hold back a chuckle.

“Ludwig, why are you torturing Bjorne so much? Don’t you know he wants to do something big right now?”

When Ludwig said this, she did not mean to defend Bjorne. She just thought that it was fun to see Bjorne, once known as a playboy in their circle, being forced to look like a hard-working wage earner.

“The next move in Qari will be of great importance. It is directly related to whether Somerland can get out of the United States blockade. Now the United States is only blocking talents. Once the energy blockade is added, Somerland will be stuck…”

“At this time, the foundation we have laid in Qari is very important. It can no longer be a small business as before, it must at least reach Elvis’ level. With Bjorne’s current ability, he is far from able to undertake this task. Hence, he must grow up quickly… We’re running out of time…”

For the first time, there was serious concern in Maurina’s voice.

This was the first time Ludwig had seen Maurina like this.

Maurina was anxious right now.

Although the course of history had changed because of his arrival and Somerland was much stronger than before, his appearance had also caused many things to happen earlier. Such as the technological blockade and the information warfare.

Although the Somerland was far more advanced compared to before, it had not reached the level where it could confront the United States in terms of size, as it would in the future.

He must try his best to make Somerland as strong as possible before the United States made its ultimate move. So now, it was very critical to truly establish an industry belonging to Somerland in Qari.

First of all, it would allow Somerland to have a foothold in Qari to slow down the United States and cause the United States to be stuck in the quagmire of Qari longer than they expect.

Second, it was to solve the energy problem of Somerland. The overall production capacity of Somerland had yet to increase, so the energy gap was not obvious yet. However, if he waited until later after he fully developed the Somerland industry to look for more energy, it would be fatal.

Although Somerland was full of resources and natural treasures, the local oil reserves were not enough to support Somerland’s take-off. Even if he deployed new energy vehicles in advance, it was impossible to completely replace fuel vehicles in only a few years. Moreover, this was just a drop in the bucket for alleviating energy problems.

The third was to intervene in the oil industry and use this as an entry point to break the hegemony of US Dollars over oil settlements. This will fundamentally disintegrate the hold of the US Dollar, one of the United States’ most potent weapons, over the world. No matter from which angle, the importance of Maurina’s trip was beyond words and he must achieve his goal.

The sooner the better, as circumstances could change if he delayed.

Seeing Maurina’s anxious look, Ludwig began to feel distressed. “You’re still in Qari… With you here, Bjorne will have time to grow up gradually.”

Maurina forced a smile on hearing that. “But I can’t stay in Qari forever. Currently, the troubles in Harbor City have not been completely resolved and the layout of JW Group in the information industry is far from the expected plan. Ultimately, I will have to return to Somerland to solve these problems.”

Maurina’s words were like a heavy hammer hitting Ludwig’s heart.

It turned out that he would be going back to Somerland after all, and no matter how good the time they had together here, it was short-lived after all.

Life at the Top Chapter 2439-Morten bowed her head in silence as if she already felt the pain of parting in advance.

“Have you been on the phone with Hezti and Anna these days?” Morten asked suddenly.

“Yes, why?”

“I pretended that I’ve been killed in the past few days so I can’t really tell them the news. They are very worried about me. And now they have encountered many challenges in running the group so they need my advice on some things…”

Marsha did not know Why Morten suddenly asked this, so he patiently explained.

“So, when you go back to Somerland, will you call me as often as you do them now?”

Hearing this question, Marsha froze. He realized what this beautiful woman wanted. However, he already had enough of women.

Hezti and Anna, who had already confirmed their relationship with him, were enough to give him a headache. If he added Morten to the mix, his life would be so chaotic.

Some time ago, Diana edited the video of him and Morten spending time alone to cause chaos in his relationship, and Marsha still remembered it vividly.

Marsha subconsciously wanted to muddle through this, but seeing the tenderness in her bright eyes, he abruptly took back the words he just blurted out. The most difficult thing was to disappoint a beautiful woman’s grace.

“Maybe…” Marsha thought a while and added, “After all, you’ve taken over Qari’s industry. Even if Milos Will have full power to handle it later, I still need you to help me with many things. And I will also have some arrangements in South America after this so we will still keep in contact for work.”

When Morten heard Marsha’s reply, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a mournful face, “What about outside of work?”

Marsha smiled. “We’re also friends besides work, so of course, we will still keep in touch…”

Only then did Morten smile.

In front of others, she seemed an intellectual woman but whenever she saw Stefan, she seemed to immediately transform into a little girl.

Afterward, the two sat together and chatted about the future. They had a lot of fun chatting so only reluctantly parted ways late at night.

Morten watched Marsha walking away and wondered if she should apply to the old man at home to expand the business in Somerland. Otherwise, Hezti and Anna would have more opportunities with Marsha since they were closer to him. She was not happy with that.

***

Over the next few days, Marsha and Morten stayed behind closed doors, only watching the news to understand the current situation. As for Milos, he turned into a hardworking white-collar and flirted with Assange every day.

After going back and forth, Assange unexpectedly took the bait, and the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds.

Milos patted his chest and assured Marsha that their day was just around the corner. However, the outside world was completely shocked by the sudden disappearance of Marsha and others.

Because of Marsha’s background that Mr. McNeal had arranged, his every move was being watched by the world now. Now he was no longer representing himself, but Somerland. So his sudden disappearance was tantamount to a political accident. As for those responsible for this incident, all blame pointed to the Kurt family. After all, the conflict between Marsha and Kimbra was no longer a secret because of that wedding.

Kimbra had the motive and ability to do this.

Many families, with the Elvis family as the representation, had accused the Kurt family of sabotaging the relationship between Qari and Somerland. What surprised everyone was that even the United States media also accused the Kurt family.

All of a sudden, Kimbra was under a lot of pressure in the Kurt family. His already unstable rule was now even more precarious.

Life at the Top Chapter 2440-“Go! Find out who is spreading the news!”

At this moment, in the territory of the Kurt family, Kimbra was furious.

His subordinates, reprimanded by him, were red in the face and left in a hurry on hearing the order. Kimbra was now very dangerous. His eyes were red, and he might blow up and kill someone at any time.

They were afraid that if they were one step too late, they would be killed by Kimbra to vent his anger.

“Damn it, I arranged everything properly and took care of everything nicely! Why did things develop to this point? And what’s going on with all the sudden extra media?!”

“I’ve never heard that the Elvis family had any involvement in the media!” Kimbra turned around anxiously, muttering to himself.

He was in a bad place right now.

Because of the disappearance of Paul, Barne, and the others, many forces condemned him. So he was a little dejected and depressed.

He even could not suppress the voices of opposition, unlike the internal forces he gradually suppressed by force. He also thought about killing someone to make an example as before, but this time, the opposition in the family was far more intense than he had expected.

If he did this, he would lose half the members of the family. Even someone as cruel as him would not be able to bear such a price. Kimbra’s heart was full of grievance and he could not understand many things.

It was true that he sent someone to assassinate Nirina and Barne, but even now, he had no idea if the assassination was successful!

Originally, when the assassin reported that the operation was successful, he was delighted. He felt that he had been avenged, and even arranged for someone to silence everyone in due time. After all, although he was reckless, he also knew that Nirina’s current status was unusual. Once revealed, even the Rothschilds would not be able to protect him. However, he was now helplessly in a daze about keeping his position and could not accept any threats.

Nirina and the conflict in the mosque aside, the fact that Nirina could find a way to rescue his father, Baltimore, was beyond Kimbra’s tolerance.

He could not allow anyone, who might threaten his status, to exist.

The impact of the action was originally within his expectations. No matter how one looked at it, Kimbra was the most suspicious. Yet in his opinion, no matter how much the Elvis family and other families accused him, they would not be able to do anything as long as they lacked evidence.

Besides, he now had the Rothschilds as his backer, which meant that many of the media siding with the Rothschilds were also on his side. As long as the media sided with him, they could even turn wrong into right.

Who knew that the developments afterward went beyond his expectations?

The media on his side turned their backs, siding with the Elvis family, and began criticizing him, one after another. And when he questioned the Rothschilds, they prevaricated on the grounds that the media were not under their control.

He was furious but could not do anything to the Rothschilds. However, these were not what panicked him the most. What worried him most now was that the killer had also lost contact with him.

He planned to use the killer as a scapegoat in the end. However, now that the killer was gone, his deployment was completely disrupted.

While panicking, the figure of a woman appeared in Kimbra’s mind.

I’ll look for Miss Viola! She must have a way!

I got my position through her help, so she must be unwilling to lose me as a pawn!

Kimbra hastily made the call, grasping at the last straw.

***

At the same time, across the Atlantic Ocean in the United States, Viola took the long-awaited call leisurely.

Looking at Kimbra’s name on the phone, Viola smirked.

Kimbra, since I helped you climb to the top, you are now my bargaining chip to lure Nirina into the trap!
