Chapter 131 People Who Cherish Their Lives

"My grandfather had absolute control over the family. Without his permission, my brother couldn't mobilize much power," Farok said confidently. "You can tell from the fact that the person who wanted to kill me to silence me had my grandfather's approval."

"What I need is evidence," Jiang Yanming said calmly.

“I had previously stored evidence in a private property I purchased, but I believe that evidence has been retrieved and destroyed,” Farlock said, frowning. “For the Carter family, finding the evidence I stored in a private property wouldn’t be difficult; they could even destroy the house along with the evidence.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming secretly shook his head, feeling that this evidence alone was not enough to make Walter Carter relinquish power; at most, it would make the Carter family abandon Ethan, an excellent heir.

"Young Master Jiang, would you mind if I asked a few questions?" Finch asked.

"Please go ahead." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly.

"Fallock, would your brother and grandfather really send someone to kill you and silence you?" Finch asked.

"Yes." Farok nodded, his eyes filled with unwavering certainty.

Because if he doesn't call back, his employees, and even the people from the World Club, will send someone to kill him or rescue him.

This was a desperate tactic by Farok to survive. If he was destined to be killed, why not take his grandfather and brother with him?

Even if they didn't die, the methods he devised would have made them feel extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of having their power taken away is something that people like them would find hard to accept.

"You said that your grandfather and brother attacked Li Ang to prevent the Divine Martial Kingdom from getting involved in military technology. Do you know Li Ang's identity?" Finch asked.

"Of course I know," Farok nodded. "Li Ang is my aunt's son, and his father is from the Divine Martial Kingdom."

"And..." Finch asked a few more questions, which Farlock answered one by one.

"One last question, when will the people who came to kill you arrive?" Finch asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but I think it will be by tonight at the latest, because it takes time to mobilize manpower," Farok replied with a shrug.

"I'm fine now." Finch said no more questions.

Based on the questions just asked, Finch was pretty sure that Farlock was lying, but he couldn't be sure of his purpose. He even suspected that Farlock simply wanted to drag his brother and grandfather into it.

"Take Farok to the basement and have someone keep an eye on him," Jiang Yanming ordered.

Immediately, several people stepped forward and took Farok away; they were all Lucy's bodyguards.

Seeing that the man had been taken away, Jiang Yanming turned to him and asked, "Falok said that someone would come to kill him to silence him. Do you think that's true or false?"

"We'll find out if it's true or not by trying," Allen replied. "However, I don't think anyone will come."

"Let's wait and see." Finch thought it was unlikely. After all, the Carter family wouldn't send someone to kill someone to cover their tracks when they had strong defenses; that would be no different from sending someone to their death.

"That's what I think too," Jiang Yanming said with a smile, then changed the subject, "If someone really comes, wouldn't there be reason to suspect that Walter Carter is the mastermind?"

Finch remained silent upon hearing this, a knowing look in his eyes.

Now he understood that Farok's concerns about the Divine Martial Kingdom's involvement in military technology were not unfounded.

It's all because Jiang Yanming's attitude was too obvious. He wanted the current head of the Carter family to relinquish power, so that the next generation of leaders would lose their heirs, and then support Li Ang, who had been in a car accident, to take over!

Upon hearing this, Allen, who was standing to the side, showed no emotion on his face, but there was a hint of emotion in his eyes, because he had also seen through Jiang Yanming's purpose.

When he glanced at Lucy out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she was still reading her book with an indifferent expression. He couldn't help but feel glad that he was just there as a mascot and didn't have to rack his brains to deal with the ambitions of the Shenwu people.

"Young Master Jiang, I don't think we can jump to conclusions," Finch said tactfully. "After all, we only have Farlock's words at this point, and there is no direct evidence to suggest that Walter Carter was the mastermind."

"I only said I had a suspicion," Jiang Yanming said with a smile, "I didn't say directly that Walter Carter was the mastermind."

"It was a slip of the tongue," Finch quickly explained, then asked, "Young Master Jiang, are we going to wait here indefinitely?"

"Our security is too strong. If we stay here, the people sent to silence us probably won't come," Jiang Yanming said with a smile, turning to ask, "Lucy, may we come to your house as guests?"

Lucy closed the book and nodded slightly. "Okay."

"We're going to visit Lucy's family, so we'll leave most of our security here," Jiang Yanming said softly. "I assume you're not worried about the Green family being unable to protect you?"

"There's no need to worry about safety when visiting the Green family," Finch said hastily.

Ellen nodded in agreement. Among the elite scions of the major core families, who didn't know that Lucy would most likely go to the academy in the future, and the Green family would also have a chance to break free from their cage?

Neither the Four Nations Alliance nor the core families of the Holy Union wanted to offend the promising Lucy, lest they suffer annihilation in the future.

"Then let's prepare to depart." Jiang Yanming slowly stood up. "How many people to leave is up to you."

Finch nodded upon hearing this, and then pondered who should be left behind, since it concerned the safety of the important witness, Farlock. Even though he wanted this important witness to die, he couldn't make it too obvious.

He quickly made a decision: he allowed Chairman Guo of the Martial Arts Alliance and all the martial artists to stay, as well as most of the electronic hackers and cyborgs who followed him. The rest would go with him to visit the Green family.

then.

Jiang Yanming and his entourage traveled in a large group to the Green family's villa, leaving the area outside the villa largely unguarded and clearly less heavily guarded than before.

……

After half an hour.

The World Club, inside its elegantly decorated offices.

"That's interesting."

The black-haired youth sat in a chair, looking at the email written in coded language on the computer screen, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

The graceful red-haired woman leaned lazily against the sofa, turning her head to look at him upon hearing this: "Has your plan made progress?"

"The new discovery should be of some help," the black-haired youth said with a faint smile. "That Young Master Jiang is fishing and has gone to visit the Green family. I estimate he left most of his guards behind."

"So?" The red-haired woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Isn't Farok preparing to send someone to rescue him?" the black-haired youth chuckled. "Then while sending those people to their deaths, leave behind something that Young Master Jiang might be interested in..."

"What's the point?" the red-haired woman asked, puzzled.

"Of course, it's to give Shenwu Kingdom the opportunity to get involved in military technology," the black-haired youth laughed. "I don't think Shenwu Kingdom will give up such an opportunity. And how will the Four Nations Alliance react to this situation? Will they turn against Shenwu Kingdom?"

"Of course not," the red-haired woman said dismissively. "How dare the Four Nations Alliance turn its back on us? Mr. Jiang is still on Moon Island."

"It's okay if we don't fall out. Conflicts accumulate little by little and will eventually explode one day," the black-haired youth said with a slight shrug.

"I don't think what you're doing makes much sense." The red-haired woman shook her head slightly. "As long as Mr. Jiang is still around, the Four Nations Alliance won't dare to turn against us."

"That's inevitable, after all, only the Divine Martial Kingdom currently has a level nine expert," the black-haired youth said calmly.

"So I think if we want Mr. Jiang to return to the Divine Martial Kingdom, we either need to start from within the Divine Martial Kingdom itself, or we need to target that Young Alliance Leader Jiang..." the red-haired woman said coldly, "Go for the kill!"

"It's easier said than done." The black-haired youth shook his head. "It's not like the Divine Martial Kingdom hasn't tried before. They mobilized several peak seventh-level experts but still failed, and one of them even died."

"What if you do it yourself?" the red-haired woman asked.

"Even if I succeed, I will definitely die," the black-haired youth said matter-of-factly. "It's true that I want to break free from the cage, but I don't want to sacrifice myself to benefit others."

"As expected of you." The red-haired woman shook her head slightly. Those old guys told her to cooperate, so she would cooperate as much as possible, provided that her life was not in danger.

She cherished her life just like the black-haired youth, and she also wanted to see the world outside the cage.

"Don't rush things, we're still young," the black-haired youth said reassuringly. Whether he was comforting himself or his companion, only he knew.

……

Changwan neighborhood.

A yacht slowly approached from the sea, carrying many well-equipped armed personnel.
