Chapter 903:
Two Choices
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_
At Coro Airport, a commercial airliner landed on the runway.
A young man with a baseball cap walked off the plane. Behind him were two burly men dressed in suits. From the way they stared behind him instead of looking around, the two men apparently weren’t this young man’s bodyguards and were more like guards.
After he got off the plane, one of the burly men showed his ID to the airport staff. The trio immediately entered a special track of the airport and arrived in front of a black limousine.
When the door opened, James Rothschild’s facial muscles twitched when he saw the person sitting in the car, but he still suppressed the urge to flee and sat in the car.
“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. James Rothschild.”
“Nice to meet you… Mr. Jiang Chen.” James tried to squeeze out a smile but it was uglier than crying. He shook Jiang Chen’s hand.
Even if it was a tool, he could understand that the fire in Pilsen’s Synagogue was probably related to this man in front of him in some shape or form.
The heads, heirs, and representatives of the thirteen families who marked the core ranks of the Freemasonry almost all died in the fire… only he survived. Although the death of a family leader would only cause some temporary turmoil for the old continental families such as the Krupps and Rothschilds, and the covenant that lasted a hundred years wouldn’t be destroyed because of the death of a few people, it was still a heavy blow for the collective Freemasonry.
Even the most unruly terrorist organizations absolutely wouldn’t have the guts to commit such resolute actions.
Unless it was a reckless madman…
In the hands of a madman, James couldn’t help but feel deep despair.
“Please sit down.” Jiang Chen pointed to the seat opposite him. James nodded quickly and carefully sat down across from him.
Jiang Chen made a gesture to the bodyguard outside and the bodyguard closed the door. The driver started the car and James noticed that the bodyguard in the front passenger seat put his hand intentionally or unintentionally in front of his chest.
There was no doubt that he was holding a gun. If he acted slightly abnormal, the pistol hidden in his suit would instantly point against his forehead.
When James thought of that, his already pale face turned even whiter.
During this short period of time, Jiang Chen examined the man in front of him. Even if he was relatively inexperienced at reading people, he intuitively concluded that the man named James Rothschild was inferior to his brother Carmen not by just a little, both in terms of ability and courage.
It was better this way.
If he was a capable person, it would be more difficult.
Looking at James’ unsettled appearance, Jiang Chen smiled and said with delight, “Are you scared?”
James forced a smile and didn’t respond.
“You can try to take a deep breath. It’ll help you,” Jiang Chen said.
James took a few deep breaths. Not only did he not relax, but he instead choked himself and coughed repeatedly.
James said with a grim face as he looked up: “Mr. Jiang, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say it. I presume you didn’t bring me from Europe to Xin not just to watch me make a fool of myself.”
After hearing James’s words, Jiang Chen looked at him slyly.
“Do you know why you’re here?”
“I swear to God that what happened in Los Santos had nothing to do with me-”
“Of course I know it had nothing to do with you.” Jiang Chen raised his hand and interrupted James.
James was delighted.
“That—”
“However, it has to do with your last name, Rothschild,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
James’ heart sank and his hands and feet turned icy cold.
Looking at his frightened appearance, Jiang Chen smiled and said inattentively, “You have two choices now.”
“The first choice is to work for me. Maybe I’ll let you become the next head of the Rothschild family.”
“The second choice…” Jiang Chen deliberately paused for a moment, raised a second finger, and roguishly said, “Go and become food for the fish.”
“I’ll pick the first one!” James Rothschild said without hesitation as he sold out his family. “What do you need me to do?”
A wise choice.
Jiang Chen grinned and whispered, “The fire in the Pilsen Synagogue was a conspiracy directed by Carmen Rothschild.”
James took a second to process it, but quickly, cold sweat dripped down from his forehead and he realized what Jiang Chen meant.
In the Freemasonry senior meeting, 12 people were killed. Only one person survived and it was the current head of the Rothschild family, Carmen. It was foreseeable that the influence of the Rothschilds in the Freemasonry was bound to rise to a new height. The reorganization of the level 33 members would result in a more united Freemasonry than before!
This should theoretically be the case.
However, in turn, there were weaknesses to be attacked.
Future Group did motivation to plan the attack, but from the point of view of gains and losses, the Rothschilds or more specifically, Carmen Rothschild, was the biggest beneficiary.
Why did only one person survive the tragedy out of all the representatives of the thirteen families? Why did Carmen, who originally planned to attend the meeting, temporarily change his plans and allow his not-so-talented younger brother also with inheritance rights to attend instead?
Evidence?
No need for evidence at all.
Jiang Chen wasn’t a judge, but he didn’t intend to convict the Rothschild family.
Suspicion didn’t require evidence; as long as it existed, it could cause cracks.
And this would be enough.
“Say it with me.” Jiang Chen looked at James with a smile.
“…The fire in Pilsen Synagogue was a conspiracy directed by Carmen Rothschild,” James said slowly word by word.
“Very good.” Looking at James who was very cooperative, Jiang Chen nodded pleasantly. “I’ll send you back to Europe. If a reporter asks about this, you know what to answer.”
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, James immediately said in horror: “No, you can’t do this. My brother… Carmen will definitely kill me!”
“I won’t make you return to Germany. You’ll travel to Moscow to take shelter from the Russian government in the form of refuge and at the same time, you’ll be interviewed by the media there. We will provide you with the materials. You only need to be responsible for smearing them.” Watching his fearful expression, Jiang Chen comforted him. “Relax, I will send people to protect you.”
After a while, the car stopped.
The bodyguard waiting at the side of the road opened the door and respectfully stepped to the side.
“Where’s this?” James said, looking up at the tall building in front of him, wondering, “Coro Central Hospital? Why did you take me here?”
Jiang Chen’s smile was bright, but in James’s eyes, it was a devilish smile.
“In order to ensure that you’re obedient, I arranged a minor operation for you. Don’t worry, it’s good for you.”
