Chapter 1210: The Medici Family's Shame
George watched Li Wenlong leave in a hurry, then turned to look at the heir of the Blair Family, hearing Ryan's gnashing of teeth.
"Young Master Ryan, if you still want to leave Lijia State, you'd better do as they say. The delivery just now has proven their words are reliable."
Ryan Blair was also infuriated upon hearing George's advice.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Ryan was very annoyed, but he felt powerless at this moment. After venting, he took a deep breath and said to George, "You tell my father about this matter. As for me, just say I'm unconscious."
One hundred million Federation Coins is not a big amount for the family, but it is quite a sum for him, and he couldn't come up with it himself.
And he didn't know how to ask his family for this money.
George looked at Ryan, who shirked responsibility, and didn't complain, because even if the other party had made the call himself, he would report to the current Clan Leader of the Blair Family. After all, Blair Grand Hotel was already completely ruined.
While George was contacting the Blair Family,
James and Blair had already left the small square. Blair Hotel was not the only Federation hotel in the Mining Capital, but Blair Grand Hotel had been operating there the longest and had the widest connections behind it from the Blair Family.
Wanting to do business in the Mining Capital, connecting through the Blair Family was the most convenient way.
Leonard did not immediately leave the Mining Capital but stayed in another hotel.
"Young Master Leonard, I think we should leave here."
"Although the last operation was done very secretly, and the Dragon King didn't find us out, staying here still bears risks."
James was obviously apprehensive, and Leonard was one of the heirs of the Medici Family, although not high in the succession order, he nonetheless had a chance.
Leonard glanced at James.
"James, I know what you're worrying about, but there's a saying in Yan Country that is very true: 'Seek riches in danger.'"
"If I can take down the Dragon King, avenging the humiliation he brought to the Medici Family, it will certainly boost my standing in the succession battle. Currently, the gap between my brothers and me isn't very large, only lacking a decisive blow."
The competition for Clan Leader in large families is much more brutal than imagined. In such families, the winner takes all.
If you win, you become the Clan Leader, possessing supreme authority and inheriting vast assets, instantly becoming one of the most powerful and influential persons in the world.
But if you fail, though you won't die, you'd just drift through life waiting for death.
Taking down the Dragon King is his only chance to reach that position.
Because six years ago, the Dragon King had kidnapped his younger aunt, the most beautiful woman of the Medici Family, who was to marry the direct heir of the Habsburg Family.
The Medici Family was extorted.
And that's not all.
When his aunt was sent back, it was discovered that this most beautiful rose of the Medici Family was pregnant.
This was a deep humiliation for the Medici Family.
Even though the family kept this matter under wraps, forbidding anyone from speaking of it to outsiders, as a core member, he knew the magnitude of the shame it brought to the family and how furious his father was.
The exalted Medici Family could not accept the shame brought by a man from Yan Country. Over the following years, the family exerted considerable effort in trying to kill the Dragon King, but he continued to live well.
Until a few years ago, when he suddenly vanished.
But Leonard had not given up, always searching for the whereabouts and clues of the Dragon King. Not only him, but other heirs in the family had also been looking for clues, but after some effort, they all gave up.
James looked towards Leonard with steadfast eyes: "Young Master Leonard, taking down the Dragon King is truly difficult."
"Even the Hands of God and the Gods Temple have openly acknowledged the Dragon King, viewing him as a force that can stand against them."
"Facing him is tough for just the two of us, and as you saw, the Dragon King not only has powerful Dragon Guards and Long Ya, but also significant resources."
"He is no longer a mercenary in the ordinary sense, but a powerful force with formidable armed capabilities."
"But that's not the most terrifying part—the scariest thing is, no one knows how much power he really holds."
Leonard looked at the slightly worried James.
"Ha, James, to the Hands of God and the Gods Temple we may be insignificant, but to the Dragon King, we too are hidden in the shadows."
"Now that we have found traces of the Dragon King, we need to figure out how to take down the Dragon King."
"Over the years, I've been preparing, and can quickly mobilize over a billion Federation Coins in available funds. With this money, we can recruit soldiers and build an elite team."
"Now we need an opportunity. If we seize that opportunity, even the Dragon King will have to bow down."
Leonard's eyes flickered, clearly ready to go all in.
"Young Master Leonard, I need a relocation allowance."
James pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Five million Federation Coins will soon be credited to your account."
James nodded: "Young Master Leonard, let's prepare to slay the dragon together."
"Young Master, the hundred million Federation Coins from the Blair Family have already been credited, and the money has been cycled through our systems around the world and dispersed into the bank accounts in Rhein Country."
An Xi closed the notebook in his hand and went to Li Feng's side and said.
"It seems the Blair Family has shown some sense."
Li Feng said lightly.
"Who dares refuse after hearing the name of the Dragon King?" An Xi flicked her hair behind her ears. After several years, the Dragon King has resurfaced, naturally, someone had to suffer.
Staying silent is not in accordance with the Dragon King's status.
Zhu Jun listened from the side, clicking his tongue in slight amazement: "Brother, your money comes fast, I admire it greatly."
A delivery to the other party, and in return, they had to pay a hundred million Federation Coins as a delivery fee.
Just hearing this feels great.
Unlike him, who came to Lijia State earlier to start a mine and face obstacles everywhere, even paying bribes all around only got him a few small mines with no competition.
But even so, he had to worry about whether the local private military would cause trouble.
"Brother Jun, this isn't Yan Country. In Lijia State, modesty is seen as weakness."
"On this land, the strong are revered, and the law of the jungle prevails. To speak of what's right, you have to see who has the bigger fist."
Li Feng turned around: "Let's go, we have more work to do next."
"Oh?"
"Regarding the mining, as outsiders, I can provide security, but miners are needed. It's best to find a local gang leader."
"Let's go to the Liu Family behind the Grand Hotel. I think they might be willing to negotiate with us now."
