CHAPTER 760: CHAPTER 465: NOBLE GENTLEMAN’S CONFERENCE_2
The photo was enlarged, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man’s face showed a smile as he was making a phone call.
"This is a suspicious individual, and so is this person."
The person who appeared in the photo was Madam Marton.
"Madam Marton, recognizable by everyone present, reacted very normally, with panic, helplessness, fear... and a fear of death. She left behind her own daughter and fled for her life on her own."
"Of course, that’s not the point I’m trying to make. The point is that after the attack ended, she made a phone call, and afterwards seemed relieved... and even started applying lipstick. This detail was brought to my attention by the Duchess, and this photo was also taken by the Duchess with the miniature camera on her wristwatch..."
Several photos in comparison; earlier, Madam Marton undoubtedly revealed her despicable nature amidst the threat of death, but afterwards...
The smile that appeared after she hung up the phone, and the way she opened her cosmetic case to apply lipstick... It’s easy for one to conjecture that she must have received some good news from the phone call...
After finishing, the young man with deep-set features asked those present with his unchanged, expressionless face.
"Now, members of Junshi Castle may express their opinions."
A plump man raised his hand, and the young man gestured for him to speak.
"From the four points mentioned earlier, we can deduce that the other party might have two intentions: one, that our target is Junshi Castle, and the feud between the Foss and Ron families is merely a smokescreen; two, that their goal is still Junshi Castle, but the feud between the two families has been inevitably involved, such as using our suspicions towards the Ron family to sever our relationship with them..."
A skinny individual next to him raised his hand and said, "Furthermore, judging by their actions, aside from the decisive moves to kill Chark and his wife, they seemed rather indiscriminate with the others, as if they were intentionally escalating the situation but also wanted to keep it under control, not too big. Hence, people with more significant status like Madam Marton didn’t die, while those of lesser importance like Mo Ao did."
"So, can we conclude that their primary objective was to kill Chark and his wife and to escalate the situation, forcing Junshi Castle to act according to their agenda, such as rejecting issues related to the Ron and Foss families, or perhaps abandoning the Ron family?"
These family members were undoubtedly elites of their clans, with very sharp eyesight. Just a couple of them outlined the general context and analysis, but what was needed next was a summary.
The young man who spoke said, "The main target of this attack is Junshi Castle, with the origin being the feud between the Ron and Foss families, and the ultimate goal is... the reshuffling of the international luxury market."
"I believe Patriarch Losar might have deduced some of this from the counterfeit incidents involving the two major families."
The previously silent Patriarch Losar nodded his head and said gravely, "From my investigation, at least ninety percent of the Ron family’s goods can be trusted to be genuine, but the goods from the Foss side are indeed from the Ron family. If one incident comes from a conspiracy where neither party gains any benefits or advantages, it’s clear the mastermind isn’t among them. It indicates there’s a third party instigating this event, seeking to disrupt this circle. If this continues, both families will be expelled from this circle, and the one who benefits the most will be the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Exactly, but we absolutely cannot wait until then, otherwise it will be too late. Besides, their target now seems to be more than just bringing down these two families... They seem to have set their sights on Junshi Castle."
"But we don’t have much business in that area, just a bit more than Foss and Ron."
After pausing, the female member looked at Cao Qijun and said, "But if we include Jun’s business..."
Cao Qijun frowned and said softly, "Mu Sang, I think we may boldly suspect... that they have discovered Moro Company is controlled by our two families. With the Asian countries like Myanmar experiencing turmoil and market shortages, such a huge opportunity—no financial conglomerate in the world would not want a piece of the pie... If they discovered that our two families started preparations even a year in advance, why wouldn’t they target us as a thorn in their side?"
This statement shocked all the family members present!
China is Asia’s largest consumer country, and its capacity to consume jewelry and luxury goods has consistently been among the world’s top five, along with its trade strategies with neighboring countries... And the power of Cao Qijun’s represented Cao Family in China, their Duke’s Mansion in the United Kingdom, combined, would be enough to influence the markets in Europe and Asia... (To be continued.
