She didn't even think about reminding Xiaomianhu that that was not an option at all! Because she knew that it would be more cost-effective for her to maintain cooperation with Datang Group.
Thinking of this, she seemed to have made up her mind - since she chose profit, there is no reason to stand still!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand the strength of Flame Castle. Real benefits are definitely much better than a false reputation.
So she quickly made arrangements and began to mobilize her troops, preparing to take advantage of the Smiling Tiger's sudden death to embezzle the other party's assets.
…
"Ugh...cough cough cough!" In the dark room, an old man was coughing non-stop. His health was getting worse for some unknown reason, and even breathing had become painful recently.
He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, opened his eyes with difficulty, and glanced at the men standing beside the bed: "Have you found anything?"
"Sir, we have tried our best to investigate...but, we don't even know what the poison you were poisoned is." A man said in frustration.
"That bitch Sofia, who has recently acquired our property unscrupulously, must be her! It must be her!"
"It doesn't matter who it is anymore! I can't do it anymore! I know it myself..." The old man was lying on the bed, feeling that his hand holding the handkerchief had begun to move around.
He felt uncomfortable yesterday, and as a result, his condition has worsened to what it is today.
Even a fool knows that he has been poisoned, but there has never been a poison on the market that can delay the onset of the disease and has such a powerful effect.
We can't even figure out who the murderer is, and we don't even know when the other party did it. This kind of assassination really makes people desperate.
The doctors are at their wits' end. They have tried almost every method, but they can't delay the onset of the poison. The poison seems to be unstoppable, and they have easily destroyed the body of the poisoned person.
"None of my sons are successful, they are all too young... So, don't think about it, don't think about it, don't... take revenge for me!" As he spoke, he couldn't control his mouth.
.
The pain tortured him, but it did not kill him immediately. This feeling was so painful that he seemed to be seeing various scenes from the past again in a trance.
"Keep...keep everything you have now...don't expose any flaws..." the old man said stubbornly, insisting on using the rest of his life to explain everything that would follow.
He kept chattering, because for ordinary people, his property was too big and big enough to be coveted.
But on the other side, his sons have already begun to think in their minds about how to sell some of the family's interests to find helpers and kill those little bitches who compete with them for the inheritance.
No one really has the patience to listen to the chatter of the smiling tiger. They have all been completely attracted by the huge industry of tens of millions of gold coins, and are salivating, ready to become the final winner.
"Check...check...check..." The old man, who was almost speechless, finally grabbed the arm of his subordinate and ordered intermittently: "No matter the cost! Kill, kill the person who harmed me.
……people!"
The subordinate nodded slightly. His loyalty did not allow him to refuse the old man's order. Even if it was the last order.
Soon, the smiling tiger was speechless. He struggled to speak, but could no longer hold back a word.
In the evening, he deserved it and died on his bed, and then his family began to fall apart.
Before the people guarding the bed dispersed, gunshots were heard in the huge castle. One of the deceased's sons shot and killed one of his brothers in public, and then he was arrested by the castle guards.
stand up.
Some of the remaining people left in a hurry, while others stayed to watch the fun without fear of death. It seemed like a morbid carnival had just begun.
The middle-aged man in charge of intelligence walked to his carriage, looked back with some nostalgia at the castle that was mostly swallowed up by darkness, and suddenly felt a little desolate.
Another ancient and huge family fell apart like this, without even a hint. He straightened his collar and then got into the carriage.
The moment he got into the carriage, he regretted it, because he saw someone sitting in the carriage, someone he didn't know.
It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to regret it, because the other party held a delicate hand crossbow in his hand. The driver did not remind him that there was a threat in the car, and he had obviously changed people.
"It seems that grief has indeed made you relax your vigilance." The carriage shook slightly, and the man holding a crossbow in the carriage said expressionlessly.
"After all, you won! Can you tell me? Who sent you? Sophia, or the Datang Group?" The middle-aged man asked with a wry smile when someone pointed a crossbow at him.
"Even if you are dead, I still can't tell you." The other person's tone was full of confidence.
Before the middle-aged man could resist, he pulled the trigger, and a crossbow arrow penetrated the other man's chest, pinning the middle-aged man to his seat.
"Uh..." The middle-aged man groaned. Just as he was about to struggle, he was pinned down and covered his mouth: "Shh! Don't struggle! This will make you feel much better... Relax! Yes, relax!"
Following the man's hypnotic words, Smiling Tiger's men gradually relaxed from the violent struggle. The arms he was pushing around dropped and his legs stretched straighter and straighter.
The man who took action had no doubt that the other party was already dead. He threw away the crossbow in his hand, and then knocked twice on the carriage of the carriage.
Soon, the carriage stopped, and the man in the carriage jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the night with his companion wearing the coachman's coat.
"Report to the superiors! The commanders involved in the assassination of Count Alice have been dealt with." After turning several alleys and making sure that no one was following him, the man who had just used a crossbow to kill people spoke and lowered his voice.
.
Beside him, the companion dressed as a coachman nodded slightly, and then the two people dispersed and soon disappeared into the darkness.
It took a few minutes for the patrolling guards to discover the carriage parked on the road. They walked up curiously and found that the door of the carriage was not closed. After they shouted several times and still no one answered, they discovered that the carriage driver
It disappeared, leaving only a cold body in the car.
