Chapter 1442 The Nobles Behind the Scenes (First Update, Please Subscribe)
A Gulfstream plane slowly landed at Geneva Airport. After the plane landed, the passengers on the plane directly got into a Mercedes-Benz that had been waiting for a long time.

While the car was moving, the person in the car just closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

The car sped along the road, heading towards a place completely opposite to the city center. I don't know since when did the rich and powerful like to build elegant country villas far away from the city.

Those magnificent villas, to some extent, are symbols of identity and status.

There are many villas or manors like this in Switzerland. Long before the war, many rich people built their manors in Switzerland, lived among the mountains, rivers and lakes of Switzerland, and enjoyed life here.

In other words, watch the world change with a smile!

During World War II, when the whole of Europe was shrouded in war, Switzerland was like a paradise. Although the war was burning all around, the people here still enjoyed peace.

Not only did it enjoy peace, but it also made a fortune during the war thanks to its developed banking industry.

The blood-stained gold, the secret accounts, everything seemed to point to Switzerland, but so what?

In this world, wealth is always wealth. No one will accuse a person of having dirty wealth. There will only be people who are jealous that they do not have that wealth.

The car sped all the way and drove into a manor by the lake, then stopped in front of a Baroque building. When the servant opened the door, the passengers got out of the car.

"Sir, the Duke is waiting for you in the study."

The man nodded, and then, led by the servant, walked into this magnificent palace full of history.

There are many nobles in Europe, some of whom are well-known, while others are not.

The owner of this palace is a nobleman who is unknown to the public, and only very few people know of his existence.

Finally, under the guidance of the servant, the man walked into a study room, where an old man with white hair and beard was reading a book.

After the man came in, he was still flipping through the book and ignored the man who came in. After the servant left, the man just stood there respectfully.

After a long while, the old man closed the book and said.

"Have you read the book NBC's Last Colonial Empire?"

Of course men have read this book. As soon as it was published, it caused a sensation worldwide and even remained on the sales charts for a long time.

After all, the economic miracle there is already amazing in itself. Now someone has taken advantage of this miracle to publish a book like this. How could it not be welcomed by the market?
The man nodded and said.

"Of course, this book is said to be the most detailed description of the place, but based on the information we have, it contains too many imaginary elements and involves certain conspiracy theories, and there is too much sensational content in the book."

"It is true that a lot of the content in the book is sensational, and even deliberately uses sensational content to attract people's attention. But..."

The old man held a book in his hand and walked towards the table, talking as he walked.

"This book is very interesting, describing some of Li Yian's rise, such as his several acquisitions in Italy and France.

If I remember correctly, we were also making similar acquisitions in Italy and France at the time.”

This is war. While the children of ordinary people were bleeding on the front lines for so-called justice, behind them, the rich were waving checks and cash, acquiring various assets all over Europe. Once upon a time, those assets were expensive, accumulated by generations, but after the war, they became cheap or even worthless.

Just like that, after the Allies won that just war with the blood and sweat of ordinary people, they didn't know that the world had changed. In silence, the world's wealth had undergone a major reshuffle.

While ordinary people were reveling in the victory of justice, in Geneva, New York and other places, some people were also celebrating, using the world as their plate to feast on it. They waved their knives and forks, turning the wealth accumulated by countless people over hundreds of years into their own.

No one knows about this!
"Yes, Duke, that is a very appropriate time. We certainly cannot miss that opportunity."

“Yes, it is indeed a very good opportunity.”

The Duke nodded and said:
“This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

War can bring destruction, but it also brings countless opportunities. We just use war to rebuild our territory. "

The man nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Duke."

"At the time, we were all immersed in the unprecedented victory and we thought..."

The Duke paused for a moment, then said:

“We thought that after this war, we had rebuilt our territory, and we also took advantage of the war to gain unimaginable wealth.

But when we were dazzled by this unprecedented feast, we didn’t expect that someone else was also participating in this feast. Even in the following years, we ignored this point. ”

The Duke walked to the desk, put the book in his hand on the table, and said:
"Just like now, we know nothing about that place, and their appearance can be said to be completely out of our control!"

As he finished speaking, the Duke pointed at the TV in front of the desk and said.

"You see, their products are not only sold all over the world, but even here in my house, I have their products.

Everything is beyond our control right now.”

The control the Duke mentioned may refer to the economy or something else, who knows?
"Yes, sir, so we are now trying to get everything back on track."

the man said.

“It’s difficult, but not impossible.”

The Duke nodded slightly, and then said:
"Try your best. By the way..."

As if he had thought of something, he asked:
"How's that going?"

"Everything went smoothly. Due to the unexpected events that happened before, we made some adjustments to the plan."

The unexpected event he mentioned was, of course, the rebellion that swept across the United States two months ago. Although the rebellion had brought a shock to the United States, it was difficult for an ant to shake a tree, and the impact on the United States was only short-term.

However, it forced them to adjust some plans, or rather the details of the plans.

"There is still some preparation work that needs to be further improved, but overall there are no problems. We just need to wait for the right time to implement the action. Now the time is basically ripe. The target will soon go to the south. According to the plan, they will implement the action in the south.

The implementation time should be very soon.”

The Duke nodded at the man's answer, and then he said: "We need this action. We need to use it to send a signal to some people, telling them that we will not tolerate any betrayal!"

The Duke thought for a moment, then said:

"As long as everything goes according to plan, we have to send this signal out."

"Yes."

The man nodded and said:
"Although the previous accident is favorable to this matter, some evidence will point to those black people. But after the incident, there will be more or less a lot of evidence pointing to the Russians. Will this lead to any accidents..."

Before he could finish, the Duke waved his hand and said:
"You don't need to care about these things, you just need to take care of your own things."

Although the Duke did not give an answer to the problem, the man did not ask further. Just as the Duke said, he did not need to worry about Russian affairs.

After all, Russia is on the other side of the Iron Curtain, and what happens there is not in their control. But even so, they can still manipulate many things here.

This is also the most mysterious aspect of the organization. It has unparalleled influence and even control in many areas.

Except for a few rare times that get out of its control, most of the time he can control everything.

Then the Duke's voice reached his ears:

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

“In the past few decades, the world has changed a lot, and many things are gradually out of our control.

Now we have to get them back on track so that we can get back on track with everything we did in the past."

After he finished speaking, the Duke looked out the window and said:
“Those foolish people think they can control the world and decide the fate of mankind. But if we leave the fate of mankind to those foolish ordinary people, then what awaits mankind is doomed to be destruction.

So we must shoulder our responsibilities as we have in the past, but now the challenges we face are far greater than ever before.”

When the Duke said this, there was a hint of compassion in his tone.

The man opposite the Duke said with deep agreement.

"Yes, sir, so we must do something. Only in this way can we avoid a greater crisis."

The Duke nodded, and then he fell into silence, as if he was thinking about something. Then the man said:

"Sir, we will be taking in a new member soon."

"Oh?"

The Duke glanced at the man in front of him and said:
"That person's identity is very special, isn't it?"

The organization recruits new members every year, and there are always people eager to join. Under normal circumstances, there is absolutely no interference with other chapters' recruitment of members.

Its branches in various countries have corresponding independence.

There is only one possibility for the man to mention this matter, that is, the identity of that person is very special.

"grown ups,"

The man said:

"He was recommended by one of our senior members. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the heir to the family in the future."

The families the man was referring to were those families that were hidden behind the scenes. Those families controlled everything, and over the years the organization had relied on such families to maintain its control and influence.

"Oh?"

The Duke thought for a moment, then said:

"Is it the Mellon family?"

"Yes, sir, you know that their family does not have a suitable heir."

The Duke nodded and said:
"Every family always needs a suitable heir. If there is no suitable heir, then the family will decline, just like..."

The Duke looked at a portrait painting in the study and said:

"In the past few hundred years, many of our families have disappeared, either actively or passively. However, every family needs a suitable heir. So, this person is very special, right?"

The Duke glanced at the man and said:
"Is it his identity?"

"Yes,"

The man nodded and said:

"It's his son!"

The man's eyes fell on the Duke's desk and on the cover of the book.

Looking at the Asian man on the cover of the book, the Duke was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

"This is quite interesting..."

After thinking for a while, the Duke said:

"You know, we never exclude outstanding members. Since Mellon chose him, he must be very outstanding, so... I hope to meet him here at the right time."

"My Lord, I will introduce him to you at the right time."

The man nodded. Ten minutes later, the man walked out of the study room under the guidance of the servant. Just as his car was on the way to the manor, he saw a car, escorted by several other cars, driving towards the manor.

Looking at the receding convoy, the man frowned and talked to himself.

"Who is in the car?"

But we don't know who it is, but it must be an important person, because ordinary people would not be escorted by a car.

Although he was somewhat puzzled, the man put the matter behind him. About an hour later, the Gulfstream plane at the airport took off again...
