Chapter 65 The Great Reversal
Edinburgh City, Fontaine family.

"Hahahaha! The Hilton family is at the end of its strength and is about to fail. After so many years of planning and layout, it is finally time to reap the rewards!"

Marquis Socrates has always given people a cold-blooded and gloomy feeling. Whether it is an enemy or one of his own, he always feels very depressed in front of him.Even when he is happy, most people don't want to see his smile.

But this time, he had a rare long laugh, very carefree.

The enemy of more than ten years will fall in front of him.Moreover, the Fontaine family can also climb higher ladders by stepping on the corpses of their enemies.Lord Marquis certainly has reasons to be delighted.

The group of subordinates waiting below naturally tried their best to flatter.

At this time, if you don't know how to make fun of horses, you don't have the qualifications to stand here.

Normally, Marquis Socrates would scold his subordinates to make them focus on the right thing.But today was an exception. He had been looking forward to it for too long and suppressed it for too long.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the second brother Just, who was sitting on the side, unmoved, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Second brother, there's no need to worry about it anymore. Maybe it's just your overthinking. They don't have any backup. It won't take more than ten days at most, and the winner will be decided soon. By this time, it's too late for them to make any moves. "

Just closed the book in his hand, frowned wearily, and couldn't hide the deep worry on his face: "If Hilton is still the patriarch of the old guy Andres, it is in line with his character to take risks and fight to the death. I'm not too worried. But now that old fox Silvio is in charge, I can't help being careless."

"Beginning more than two months ago, the Hilton family changed their previous approach of shrinking defenses and passive defense. Instead, they boldly took the initiative and fought a price war with us at all costs. It is speculated that their activity funds have already been exhausted. The huge amount of money they are using now all comes from loans from familiar families and businessmen—mortgaging all of Hilton’s properties, even including loans from their mansion.”

"Such a crazy and reckless approach caused us to suffer heavy losses. Some small nobles couldn't even bear the huge consumption, and they were afraid and hoped to withdraw. This kind of move to bite the enemy fiercely even if they die, is not Xi Salvio's style. I don't believe him if he has nothing to rely on."

Marquis Socrates knew the temperament of this second brother very well, and he knew that he would not be indiscriminate.He also put away his smile, and said hesitantly, "Under normal circumstances, the old fox wouldn't do this. Maybe it's because they are cornered now and they haven't been able to find a way to rescue them, so they have such unusual crazy behavior."

Just didn't speak.

Although Marquis Socrates said it was not impossible, he had a faint feeling in his heart that things would not be so simple.

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang.

A man in black walked in quickly, and respectfully handed the letter in his hand to Just.

Marquis Socrates glanced at the marks representing "top secret" and "urgent" in the letter, and swallowed back the words he wanted to scold him for being impolite.

In the Fontaine family, intelligence-related work has always been in charge of Just.

Open the letter, there are only a few lines inside
But Just only glanced at it, and suddenly got up, his face was so pale that there was no blood left!
"Second brother! What's going on?" Marquis Socrates was taken aback when he saw this.

In my impression, the second brother has always been calm and steady, resourceful, and it is rare to see him panicking.It is even more rare for such a situation of being so shocked to turn pale.

Just's eyes were empty, and he murmured to himself: "So, so it is. Silvio, the old fox, is really ruthless. He is not satisfied with being able to retreat unscathed. He spent a lot of money to lure us into a trap. Swallow us all in one gulp?"

Pfft~ Just opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Second brother!"

Marquis Socrates was shocked and hurried forward to support him.

"Brother, we lost this time, a big loss. The old fox's son, Owen, and the young man enshrined Anthony, completely opened up the trade route to Krakow County. Now, the caravan is already on its way back to Edinburgh. .So this is their backup and reliance."

The noble alliance lost, the Fontaine family lost, and he, Just, also lost.

However, he is not reconciled!

After devoting countless resources and painstaking efforts, and meticulously planning for so many years, the original seamless layout was actually lost to the opponent's idle chess.

He has simulated and deduced Hilton's possible response methods countless times, and the business trip was also included.But like Hilton executives, Just saw it as a choice that didn't matter.

Even if they were lucky enough to transport the specialty goods back to Krakow County, the profits received would be a drop in the bucket, which would not change the difficult situation facing Hilton.

Completely open up business channels?With just one Hilton family?hehe!
But the accident happened on the most unlikely link.

The value of the returning caravan is not in the cargo it carries, but in the caravan itself.

As long as the business route is opened up, with the backing of the huge market in Krakow County, the Hilton family is already invincible, and there is no need to be afraid of the siege of many nobles in Edinburgh.

And with this golden artery, familiar businessmen and nobles have doubled their confidence in Hilton. Not only will they not rush to repay their debts, but they will increase their borrowing or investment.

On the contrary, the nobles on their own side will hesitate, waver, and even retreat.The so-called semi-city aristocratic alliance will instantly disintegrate when the caravan enters the gate of Edinburgh.

After this battle, the aristocrats who suffered heavy losses and injuries are very likely to be bitten back by the Hilton family and cannibalized.

With the brains of the Fontaine family's think tank, as long as the key link is pointed out, the entire plan of the Hilton family can be calculated immediately.

It would be great if we could find out the information that the four bandit leaders were subdued earlier.

Although the failure of the plan was inevitable, at least he would not step into the trap set by the old fox, and the loss could be reduced by at least half.

Just was extremely regretful. He should have followed the third brother's idea and killed that Anthony Bruce at all costs.Who would have guessed that the grand plan planned by the Fontaine family for more than ten years was finally destroyed by this young man inadvertently.

Sorry for the first time!
"Now, is there any remedy?"

Lord Marquis is not a mediocre person either. Just explained a little bit, and he immediately understood the severe situation he was facing.

"Perhaps, there is only one chance."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood from Yu Jie's chest, Just's mind became clear again.

"Immediately notify the third brother who is returning from the northwest side, rush to the exit of the commercial road at full speed, and intercept Hilton's people. Be sure to kill them all before entering the boundaries of Edinburgh City. Without this caravan as proof, Let the old fox talk like a lotus flower, and people in Edinburgh will not believe that the business channel has been opened up. As long as it can be delayed for a month, Hilton will completely collapse, and it doesn't matter whether the business channel is opened up or not."

As expected, Just was worthy of being the number one wise man of the Fontaine family. After recovering, he immediately grasped the current key point and found a countermeasure.

The Lord Marquis cheered up, and suggested: "Should we call in some more experts from other nobles? Then Anthony can subdue the four bandit chiefs, I'm afraid he has some real skills. Only rely on the third brother and those people, and we must catch them all without leaking them." One person, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Just shook his head: "Even if it's a risk, I can only tell my third brother to do his best. This matter must not be let other nobles know, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

"At this time, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."
