Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 428 Leslie's Arrangement
Someone got there first, and it’s very professional!
The man in work clothes and mask made a quick judgment, then cleared his traces and left. After returning to the car, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

beep...beep...

"Is it done, Locust?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Eagle, I'm Locust. The target is missing. The initial assessment is that another group of people has captured the target."

The man in work clothes and mask reported to the other end of the phone.

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After the report was made, the old voice asked again: "Can you find anyone?"

"I'm sorry, but the other party was very professional and didn't leave any loopholes. I couldn't find them."

Locust shook his head. Judging from the scene, there was no possibility of finding the other party. Even if the most powerful detective in the world was asked to come, he would probably find it difficult.

"You come back first."

After hearing this, Canglao gave an instruction and hung up the phone.

In Hugo Manor, the old butler frowned and put away his mobile phone. Then he went to Leslie's study again and reported the matter to him.

"Okay, I get it. No need to look for him. If I'm not mistaken, he's dead."

Leslie waved his hands helplessly. His intuition told him that Sean must have done this. There was no need to say what would happen to Cook if he fell into Sean's hands. If nothing unexpected happened, this person would become another missing person in Luxembourg.

"Then now I..."

The old butler Zack nodded slightly and asked tentatively.

"Uncle Zack, there is no time to lose. Since Cook is gone, please arrange for Fiona to leave as soon as possible. Have the Findel International Airport prepare the plane and leave tonight."

Leslie gave the order decisively. According to his guess, Cook must have been captured by Sean, which proved that Sean had already started to act. He was afraid that something might happen if he was too late, so he had to let Fiona arrive in China first to ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

And there is another thing that he is very worried about, that is, the overwhelming public opinion has already labeled the Capet family as terrorists. Luxembourg's political circles are currently controlled by three major families, the Capet family, the Nassau family, and the Bourbon family. The Luxembourg family has made achievements in the military. Among them, the Nassau family and the Bourbon family occupy more political resources and higher positions, while the Capet family seems to be just making up the numbers, occupying some insignificant positions. He is afraid that once it is too late, the other three families will unite to block the Capet family, and then he will not be able to leave.

The survival rule of European nobles is that they will never count on the kindness of others, even if both parties are from the same bloodline, they will still not hesitate to take advantage of others' misfortunes. These guys will definitely not hesitate at all to do something like killing the Capet family and then dividing the food.

"I understand, Patriarch. I'll do it right away!"

The old butler Zacks naturally understood the pros and cons of this matter, and immediately stepped out to prepare for it.

They were just impatient to send Fiona to China, but they didn't expect that the person concerned would refuse it without hesitation.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

There was a knock on Leslie's study door. The rapid knock made him unable to calm down. He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and shouted to the outside of the door: "Come in."

Fiona pushed the door open and asked Leslie, "Brother, our Capet family is finished, right? Can we not survive this time?"

Facing Fiona's questioning, Leslie shook his head and said comfortingly: "Fiona, I will help you cancel Cook's engagement. Just think of it as going to China to relax. When your brother picks you up after a while, everything will be fine, okay?"

"No! You are lying to me. It won't get better. I will watch the news, brother. The Capet family has been labeled as a terrorist by the British. Is it because the family can't hold on that you asked me to go to China? This is not to relax me, this is to seek refuge!"

Fiona did not even add any punctuation to Leslie's words "Everything will be fine", and Leslie's actions seemed quick and decisive. It was not as simple as asking her to go to China to relax. The real purpose was probably just to let her leave Luxembourg and seek refuge in China. In her opinion, Leslie's series of arrangements were more like dealing with his affairs after his death. In other words, he foresaw that his own death was approaching and could not be changed.

Fortunately, she watched the news, otherwise she would have gone to China for refuge in a daze. She was not opposed to seeking refuge, but just like Leslie, the other party was her only relative now. If she left, Leslie would eventually die in the Capet family and in Luxembourg, and she would live with nightmares all her life.

"Yes, the family really can't hold on any longer. I just want you to seek refuge. Only by going to China can you have the best chance of survival. Then, what else can I do?"

Leslie was a little annoyed and paused for a moment before making things clear: "Listen, Fiona, you know very well that there are only two of us left as direct members of the Capet family. As the current head of the Capet family, there is absolutely no way I can survive. The Windsor family will not let me go, the Luxembourg family, the Nassau family, and even our branch Bourbon family will not want me to live. Too many people want me dead, and I cannot live. For the continuation of the Capet family, Fiona, you must survive!"

There was one person he hadn't told anyone about, and that was Sean. That guy was definitely the last person to let him go, but he didn't intend to tell anyone. He even planned to keep secret the fact that Sean was the leader this time, in order to prevent Fiona's hatred towards Sean from increasing. If Sean found out, Fiona's chances of survival would be greatly reduced, and she would have to live in confusion.

Fiona's big eyes shed two lines of tears: "But...but..."

"No buts, Fiona, listen to your brother and pack your things now and board the plane to China tonight. I'm afraid it will be too late."

Fiona just opened her mouth to say something when she was rudely interrupted by Leslie.

"Okay... okay... I understand brother..."

Fiona's voice was choked with sobs. She did not ask Sean for help because she knew very well that the relationship between Sean and Leslie was already very tense. If she really asked for help from him, it would probably lead to further trouble. Maybe if the other party did not get involved, Leslie might still have a slim chance of surviving. Moreover, she always felt that Sean might have played an important role in this matter.

"Go quickly. If we delay until they blockade us, it will be too late and no one will be able to leave." Leslie has a thorough understanding of the matter. Only today will they choose to turn a blind eye to Fiona's departure.

Those families understood the principle of knowing when to quit. If they let an insignificant Fiona escape, Leslie would have to wait here to die. They were even happy to make it happen. But if it was too late, and Sean's people came in and the surviving Windsor family members came to Luxembourg, they would probably not let Fiona go, especially Sean. Leslie had no idea about this guy. He couldn't be sure whether he could let Fiona survive.

"This matter...was done by Sean, right?"

Fiona suddenly raised her head and asked Leslie. She thought of the day when she called Sean and told him that her brother would join forces with Ryan, the heir of the Habsburg family to deal with the other party. Then, within two days, this incident happened. She didn't know whether Leslie really sent people to assassinate William, but if it was really Leslie who sent people to assassinate William, it would be impossible for Leslie to leave such a serious tail. How could he let the two killers be caught by the Windsor family?

And it is said that he used his family to coerce the two guys to do this, which is not her brother Leslie's style at all, so she feels that this is most likely Sean's counterattack, but the means of this counterattack are too vicious and hit their weak spot.

"How did you know?"

Leslie was a little surprised. He knew his sister very well. She was a bit thick-skinned and never thought about the deeper reasons for anything. Logically, she should not have guessed that Sean was behind this.

"I... I heard a few days ago that you and Ryan, the heir of the Habsburg family, were preparing to deal with him, so I... I called him and told him... I'm sorry, brother, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I just... just..."

Fiona's voice was choked with sobs, and filled with a bit of regret and indifference. On one side was her brother and family, and on the other side was the person she loved. This made her feel really difficult. She now didn't know whether she should hate Sean or not.

She didn't want Sean to die, but at the same time, she absolutely didn't want Leslie to die, and didn't want the Capet family to end up like this.

It can only be said that Fiona is too naive and kind in this regard. This kind of struggle for interests, even if we put aside the matter of old Capet, will inevitably result in a life-and-death struggle between Sean and Leslie. There is no room for easing, unless they suddenly find common interests and these interests are big enough, then perhaps the relationship between the two sides will return to normal, but this is obviously impossible at the moment.

"I understand. You don't have to blame yourself, Fiona. Even if you didn't tell him about this, he would have known about it a long time ago. Today's result is inevitable. Ryan, the heir of the Habsburg family, has been in cahoots with Sean for a long time. I don't deserve to lose."

Leslie nodded and did not choose to blame Fiona, but his voice sounded a little bleak. He did not expect that he still underestimated Sean's position in Fiona's heart. However, at this time, these are no longer important. The important thing is to let Fiona survive.

"Impossible, you just...you just don't want me to blame myself too much, right?"

Fiona's face was full of disbelief. She had just immediately thought that it was her fault that led to Sean's counterattack, but she didn't expect that this matter actually had nothing to do with her.

"That's the truth. I absolutely don't believe that you told Sean that Ryan and I were going to attack him and then he turned Ryan against us. This is simply impossible. But the fact is that Ryan is now eroding our family's assets. Sean, the Windsor family, and the Habsburg family are three groups that are working together seamlessly and attacking us from three directions. This can only be a long-planned move, not a spur-of-the-moment one!"

The opponent's actions were like thunder. If you tell Leslie that this was because Sean instigated Ryan to rebel after Fiona informed on him, and then won over the Windsor family, and the actions taken after the three parties reached an agreement, he would never believe it. Ryan should not be so easily instigated, so it could only be that Ryan had long been in cahoots with Sean, and the two of them cooperated to put the blame for the assassination of William on Leslie's head, and only then did they reach this kind of cooperation.

"I...I know..."

For a moment, Fiona couldn't tell whether she should blame herself or not.

"Okay, Fiona, you don't have to think too much about these things. All you have to do is survive. Although the child in your belly is Sean's, it is also the continuation of the Capet family."

Leslie waved his hand, signaling that the other party could leave.

Fiona returned to her room in a trance to pack her things. She didn't understand why things had turned out like this. The huge Capet family was about to collapse.

……

Abu Dhabi, Tinata Island, RFG Group headquarters, Cook was brought here.

"Come in, man. Our boss is waiting for you inside!"

The burly man pushed Cook and pushed him into the RFG Group's restaurant box.

Cook felt a little panicked, but he still forced himself to stay calm. He turned his head and saw a strong Asian young man who was elegantly cutting a piece of fat steak with a knife and fork. In the box, there were four sturdy bodyguards standing meticulously, looking at him vigilantly.

"Hey man, you came at the right time. I think you must be starving. Come on, I prepared some excellent RB Wagyu steak for you. I think you will like it very much, right, man?"

Sean smiled and very gentlemanly invited the other party to dinner.

"Sir, I don't seem to know you?"

Cook was full of doubts. Until now, he still didn't know who the other party was. He was very sure that he didn't know the other party and had never even met him. So he was even more confused about what the other party wanted to do by looking for him.

"Man, I don't really like it when people talk down to me, and I don't like it even more when people ignore what I say."

Sean shook his head with a hint of regret, and cut another piece of beef with his knife and fork and put it into his mouth.

But the bodyguards standing on both sides of the door kicked Cook in the crook of his legs one by one. The sudden huge force caught him off guard and he fell to the ground with a "thump", his knees bent.

"Look, that's much better."

Sean nodded in satisfaction, then he threw the steak in the cutlery opposite him directly onto the ground in front of him, and extended his hand to invite him: "Eat it."
