599: Chapter 141 – Disposal of Non-performing Assets_2 599: Chapter 141 – Disposal of Non-performing Assets_2 A young man said indignantly.

In their quest for revenge, they had given everything, only to watch helplessly as the five major families grew more prosperous.

According to the current situation, against the backdrop of heavy losses among the kingdom’s aristocrats, the five major families of the North have shown signs of further advancement.

“Kollen, be rational.

Anger won’t solve anything.

It merely complicates matters.

Our series of failures ultimately stem from placing our hope for revenge on others, hoping that the orcs would eliminate the five major families for us.

The reality proves this to be unfeasible.

To truly obliterate the five major families, we must rely on our own strength.

Just now, someone offered a substantial amount to have us hire the Assassin Organization to kill Caesar III!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

They only wanted to kill the five major families of the Northland, but they were not prepared to assassinate the king as well.

Being from noble families, though now fallen on hard times, they had some upbringing.

They understood all too well what regicide meant.

“Chief, we must not do this!

We are all children of kingdom’s nobility, how can we commit such a heinous act?”

“Chief, the Three Elders are right, regicide is something we cannot do!

Those who wish to do so most likely have ulterior motives and want to harm us, the July Club…”

…

The chorus of discouragement turned the old man pale.

He was merely relaying a message but had already elicited such fervent opposition.

If the act were to be carried out, an even more violent backlash might occur.

“Chief, are you suggesting that we seize this opportunity to frame the Nobles of the North?”

The words from Longxi made the people, who were initially vehemently opposed, spark a different glint in their eyes.

They could not commit regicide, but if it were committed by the Nobles of the North, they would feel no pressure.

The only issue was that this kind of major incident, even a set-up to frame someone, was not easy to carry out.

Any carelessness could lead back to them.

Once they were implicated with regicide, not only they would perish, but their clans would also be implicated.

Even leaving the Alpha Kingdom would be useless.

All of the kingdoms on the continent were impressively unanimous on this issue.

Anyone who commits regicide will be hunted down by the entire continent.

In the history of the human race, the number of kings who have been assassinated is very few.

“Exactly!

“You are all unlearned, I’ve always told you to read more, but none of you listen.

You don’t even understand what is good or bad, and yet still claim to be nobility!

When did the nobility become so crude?”

The old man rebuked harshly.

However, his harshness was merely pretense.

Deep down, he was equally panicked.

If his subordinates hadn’t helped, he wouldn’t have thought of framing the Nobles of the North.

It wasn’t a lack of intelligence that stopped him, but a longstanding deeply ingrained belief that prohibited him from generating such a sacrilegious idea.

If not, there was no need to wait until now.

The idea could have been utilized centuries ago.

Even if the false accusation was revealed, it could still stir up strife.

After all, the relationship between the king and the Nobles of the North was already strained, a little push would provoke even more intense conflict between them.

After this diversion, everyone bowed their heads.

Planting the blame on the Nobles of the North, they felt no moral pressure.

“Chief, there are countless assassin organizations on the continent.

However, only a few would dare to accept such a commission and have the power to carry it out.

Although our July Club is also a dark organization, we still differ from them.

No association we have had dealings with could fulfill the requirements!

Furthermore, we know nothing about the mysterious person who wants to place the order.

What if he betrays us after the deed is done?”

Longxi said with worry.

As a fearless slave trader, this time he was truly afraid.

Framing sounds simple, but this is the Extraordinary World, with plenty of extraordinary investigative methods.

Sometimes even the dead can speak, let alone a group of living people.

No matter what part of the chain leaks, as long as they get involved, the July Club will be done for.

“If they can hide, so can we.

We’ll find a few pawns in the five major families that we control to place the orders.

They can take all the rewards over there and deposit them into the Assassin Guild accounts.

As soon as the person shows up, they should be silenced immediately!

Let them investigate the five major families!

Regardless of whether the charges can be confirmed, it will be sufficient to cause trouble for them.”

The old man said mockingly.

…

Not only the July Club, several cult organizations within the Alpha Kingdom almost simultaneously received the “sponsorship” of the mysterious person.

For a time, the world above and the waters beneath were in an uproar.

With a surge of an undercurrent, the storm went straight for Caesar III.

…

Basking in the autumn sun, Hudson cordially entertained each and every guest.

On the third day of the trading platform’s launch, the turnover had already gone through the roof.

Of course, this was merely Hudson’s speculation based on the smiles on everyone’s faces.

As a purely non-profit institution, the platform did not even collect commissions, let alone pry into how much everyone traded.

The eleven trading companies in the platform were all powerful, well-established firms.

Each one of them had been personally secured by Hudson.
