Chapter 130 No, I believe it
"Falok acted impulsively and foolishly." Ethan said with his head down, his tone pleading. "Please spare his life, for he is a member of the Carter family."
"Impossible!" the old man coldly refused. "He has already missed his chance to live."
"Grandfather..." Ethan called softly, as if he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted.
"No need for further words!" The old man raised his hand to interrupt. "Your brother is your weakness. If you want to become the head of the family, then you don't need to care about anything else except the family. Without your weaknesses, you will be the only candidate to become the head of the family."
Ethan fell silent upon hearing this, perhaps grieving over his grandfather's inaction and his brother's impending death.
"Instead of grieving your brother's death, you should worry about your own safety," the old man solemnly reminded you. "You should know your brother's personality very well. When faced with a life-or-death crisis, wouldn't he resort to false accusations and slander against you?"
"Yes, it will." Ethan sighed softly, as if his heart was broken.
But this was only on the surface. In reality, Ethan was overjoyed because he had finally received his grandfather's promise that he would be the only candidate to take over the family!
As for his younger brother Farok, he was merely a weakness that Farok intentionally cultivated, for which Farok devoted considerable energy and emotion!
That's right. The current Farok, with his terrible personality, was intentionally cultivated by Ethan, simply because he needed a weakness that outsiders could easily spot.
Undeniably, he still had some affection for his younger brother, but that affection was far less important to him than power!
Judging from the current situation, everything he sacrificed was worthwhile!
"Good to know." The old man nodded slightly in satisfaction. "You need to be prepared to be questioned."
"Understood." Ethan nodded in agreement, his expression appropriately conveying a hint of sadness.
"Go and make preparations," the old man said softly.
"Yes." Ethan nodded respectfully and then left the office.
The old man watched Ethan's departing figure, a hint of gloom in his eyes. If his grandson Farok were to make baseless accusations, he himself might be implicated.
……
Villas in Changwan neighborhood.
The five cars carrying Leng Tong and his group were stopped before they even got close to the villa, and were only allowed to pass after being inspected.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and the group led a blond young man into the villa. He looked seven or eight parts like Ethan, but his eyebrows had a more unruly look, giving people a feeling that he was not easy to get along with.
The blond youth was none other than Farok. He openly observed his surroundings while thinking to himself, "The defenses around us are tight, so a rescue is clearly not an option. We can only proceed according to plan."
He discovered that the villa was surrounded by a large number of defensive forces, including cyborgs, cyber hackers, and martial artists from the Divine Martial Kingdom. He even sensed the dense dark energy inside the villa.
Farok has a good older brother, so he had the opportunity to become a Dark Energy User. Even though he is still only a Level 2 Dark Energy User, he has already surpassed many spoiled brats.
soon.
The group passed through the garden and entered the lobby on the first floor.
Jiang Yanming and the others sat on the sofa, while numerous bodyguards stood throughout the hall, their eyes fixed on Falock, who had been brought in.
"Young Alliance Leader, the person has been brought here," Leng Tong said respectfully.
"Mm." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly. "Disperse."
As the words fell, everyone dispersed to different parts of the hall, leaving only Farok standing there all alone.
Looking at the four people sitting on the sofa not far away, Farok knew without anyone else introducing him that the young man from the Divine Martial Kingdom sitting at the front was Mr. Tsukishima E's only son.
"You're the one who attacked Li Ang, aren't you?" Jiang Yanming said bluntly.
"I knew this day would come," Farok said calmly.
If everything had gone according to his plan, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
According to his plan, he would first use the World Club and his brother Ethan to kill the head of the family, his grandfather Walter Carter. Then, he would use Ethan's trust in him to kill his beloved brother, thus completing his control over the family.
Farlock thought his plan was brilliant, but unfortunately, it was thwarted by the incompetent World Club just as it reached its second step.
"Are you admitting that you tampered with Li Ang's car accident?" Finch asked in surprise.
He didn't expect Farlock to admit it so quickly. Logically, the other party should have kept denying it to buy time for the Carter family's rescue.
"I know I'm unlikely to survive today," Farok said calmly. "If you want to know more, then agree to my terms."
"What are the conditions?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"I don't want to die a gruesome death. You need to ensure my body is intact, including my brain and internal organs," Farlock stated. "Also, I want to be buried next to my mother's grave after I die."
"Okay." These conditions weren't much, so Jiang Yanming readily agreed.
"It was my brother Ethan Carter and grandfather Walter Carter who decided to take action against Li Ang. They didn't want the Divine Martial Kingdom to get involved in military technology," Farok said, delivering his prepared statement.
"Heh." Jiang Yanming chuckled. This confession was too fake.
If it were an anti-Shenwu Kingdom force, they might worry that Shenwu Kingdom would interfere with military technology, and thus consider taking action against Li Ang.
Walter and Ethan wouldn't take action for this reason, since one is the current head of the Carter family and the other is likely to be the next head. Why should they worry about Leon taking control of the Carter family?
"You don't believe me?" Farlock was about to continue.
Jiang Yanming raised his hand to interrupt, then said seriously, "No, I believe you."
"Huh?" Falock looked surprised, never expecting Jiang Yanming to believe him so easily.
You should know that he had made a lot of preparations, both openly and secretly, in order to accomplish his mission of sowing discord.
Finch and Ellen, standing behind Jiang Yanming, also showed surprise on their faces, while Lucy remained calm and unconcerned.
"I believe you, but I need evidence," Jiang Yanming said calmly.
Even if Jiang Yanming wanted to help Li Ang take the throne and become the head of the Carter family, he couldn't possibly make Walter relinquish power just by talking.
"I have evidence!" Farlock said solemnly. "First, my brother Ethan will definitely send someone to kill me to silence me. In addition, I have his email records and phone recordings with his subordinates."
"That's it?" Jiang Yanming was not satisfied.
If there is only evidence against Ethan, it can at most cause Ethan to lose his position as heir, but it will still be difficult for him to make Leon take over.
"I have other evidence. My grandfather arranged for Li Ang's current girlfriend," Farok said with certainty.
"Anything else?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming frowned slightly, not believing what he was saying.
