Cosma Empire

The three fires turned half of the sky in the imperial capital into red, and the sirens of the fire trucks have not stopped since dark. John, who was already asleep, was awakened by Mark from his sleep, and the old man sat up a little irritated.

When you get older, you will sleep more, not because you want to sleep, but because your body's functions are rapidly declining, and you need to reduce your metabolism to ease this decline. Especially at night, the body will be in a very unhealthy state after being awakened, and irritability is just one of the manifestations.

Since Mark returned to the family, John has not been woken up in the middle of the night. Mark can handle everything, and he can enjoy his old age in peace. Of course, he also understood that Mark was able to wake himself up regardless of his rest time, something must have happened.

He rubbed his eyes, turned on the lamp on the bedside table, put the reading glasses on the quilt, looked at Mark and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

John has experienced too many things in his life, and his nerves have long been as tough as steel. His voice seemed to soothe Mark's frightened heart. Mark swallowed a mouthful, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Our three feature agencies were killed by someone. It was set on fire."

He didn't speak for a long time after he said this, and there was no other sound in the room, only his shallow breathing could be heard.

After a while, when Mark looked up, he saw Mr. John staring at him with wide-eyed eyes. His bloodless face was already flushed. He was panting with his mouth open, and his outstretched arms were trembling, "You... What did you say?"

"The feature agency... was burned!"

In the next second, if Mr. John can still wake up, he will definitely say that at that moment he felt something in his brain suddenly snap off, and then the whole world fell into darkness.

Behind a lifetime winner is always a sea of ​​swords and blood invisible to outsiders. John has been a winner all his life, and he knows why he is a winner. People respected the George family, respected him, and even the top leaders of both parties were his guests, not because of his extraordinary personality and ability, but because of the monopoly position of the George family in the newspaper industry. Now that his sharp weapon of monopolizing the newspaper industry has been destroyed, it is conceivable that those politicians who usually respect him on the surface will show their terrifying sharp teeth.

With a cry of surprise, Mark rushed forward to support Mr. John who was leaning slowly, and called for the doctor loudly, and the whole manor was in chaos in an instant.

Maggs, who was still thinking, was startled by the ringing of the phone. He had actually seen the fire in half of the sky, so he was waiting for the call. The call was made by the Director General of Police Investigation himself, and three things were reported to him.

"The three major feature agencies were set on fire at the same time. Judging from the current situation, there is no need to rescue the contents inside. They were all completely swallowed by the fire..."

"I'll interrupt, are there any casualties?" Magus was very concerned about this issue.

If there were no casualties, to the citizens of the imperial capital and even the entire empire, this was just a scar on someone else's body, and it was also a scar on the body of a big capitalist. Not only would they not be disgusted, but they would gloat over it. However, if there are casualties, even serious casualties, it will cause a rebound in public opinion and public opinion. This is definitely not a good thing for the cabinet that has just finished the unification stage.

The former is just an accident, while the latter is an accident. Although someone also needs to shoulder this responsibility, the nature is completely different.

"Your Excellency, this is what I want to say. There were no casualties in the three fire scenes. According to the information we collected from the scene, the other party had given enough warnings before setting the fire and dispersed all the staff. Of course it is possible There will be situations that we have not discovered, and we will have to wait until the fire is completely extinguished before we can draw a final conclusion."

Mr. Director General paused for about five seconds, Magus did not continue to ask questions, he continued: "The second thing I want to say is also related to this arson case,

Just now, twenty-five young people surrendered themselves to the Imperial Capital Police Department, claiming that they were the arsonists who created the three arson cases, and offered evidence. At present, they have been detained. According to our information about their identities, they should be..." Mr. General Director hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Maybe they are from Du Lin. "

"It's him?" Magus's voice carried obvious surprises. There were so many accidents during this period that he was a little numb. His nostrils enlarged slightly, and a gust of air jetted out from his nostrils, lifting up an unpressed letter paper on the table, "I know about this matter, please keep your mouth shut for now, I will talk to Du Lin. "

Although Mr. General Director didn't say how he found out that these people might be Du Lin's people, since he could say it, it means that he must have obtained some ironclad evidence, otherwise he would never talk nonsense in front of him, the Prime Minister. Some things can be framed, but some things are absolutely not.

"The third thing is that someone contacted me just now. Mr. John has passed out and has not woken up until now. He may be bedridden for a long time. At present, Mark takes over all the affairs of the George family."

Magus hung up the phone after listening to a few instructions. He was a little puzzled as to why Durin would suddenly open fire on his "collaborator", so that Old John fell into a coma. Mags knew the situation of these capitalists well. Once Old John did not make a clear will, it is very likely that the George family would fall into internal strife. That careless guy Arthur and his uncles and aunts have long coveted John's equity. Maybe they will attack John in order to "reasonably" divide up the George family's property.

As for Mark... He has only taken over the family affairs for a short time, and he has not lived in the family for a long time in the past. His prestige is definitely insufficient, and the family may fall because of this.

What is Du Lin trying to do?

Magus was deep in thought. At this stage, Durin's main opponent should be the Anthem Consortium headed by the Capet family. Why did he suddenly have such an insoluble conflict with the George family and needed such drastic means to retaliate? ?

Magus made many guesses and inferences, but none of them were in line with common sense. How could he know that all of this came from "uncompromising".

The entire upper class of the imperial capital was shaken by these three fires. Countless people immediately left the social gatherings and returned home, and the telephone line occupancy rate reached a peak in an instant. Countless intrigues are formed on the airwaves, countless deals are struck on both ends of the phone.

This is like a more advanced primitive evolutionary forest. Only by constantly devouring can it grow itself. When a creature grows to a certain level, those ordinary species can no longer meet their evolutionary requirements. Only the same giant, Only then can they get the chance to evolve again.

Apparently, a Jumbo might be about to go down.

And this is the signal that Du Lin wants to release, but he didn't expect that the signal flare didn't shoot into the sky, but shot straight at Mr. John. the way forward for others.

Those tycoons in the imperial capital were already too busy for their uncertain interests, and the phone on Durin's side also rang. The call was from Illian, Nasha's call.

After Mr. John fell, Mark called Nasha immediately, telling her to return to the imperial capital as quickly as possible. During the period before Mr. John woke up, he might not be able to carry Arthur and those people alone. Uncle and aunt. Although Nasha is only a girl, she represents the first person in the third generation of the family. Every family has rules that cannot be easily broken, and the George family has them too.

As the first person of the third generation, Nasha has a considerable part of the rights, so Mark needs her back.

Before she came back, she called Du Lin, "My father said that there was a very unpleasant dispute between him and you, and then you set fire to the most important property of the family, didn't you?"

There was a questioning tone in the chick's tone, and Du Lin chuckled twice, "I don't deny the conflict with your father, but Ms. Nasha, please pay attention to your words, you will go to jail for slandering a mayor .”

"So you really did it?" Nasha's gritted teeth could be heard through the long telephone line, "Why did you do this? Is there anything that cannot be negotiated? For my sake, you should also talk to me first, do you know that grandfather..."

Du Lin grasped the core of the sentence in an instant, and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. John?"

"He was so angry with you and dropped a lot of things!" Nasha had always regarded Du Lin as her "good friend" before, but when Du Lin asked, she realized that the world was not her As imagined, she and Du Lin, the George family and the Du Lin Group are absolutely on two lines. She immediately lied and followed up on the previous words very well. But can Du Lin not hear it?

"You make me very sad and ugly, I misread you, Du Lin!"

The line in the handset was cut, and he put the handset back on the landline, grinning with his lips pursed.

I didn't expect that John would fall down with such a simple blow. He was just sending out a signal, but he didn't expect to really knock down the sun of the George family, so there were many changes in this matter.

He had to help them, help Arthur.
