Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon
Chapter 539: Sudden surprise
To talk about the most famous building in Norfolk, England, it is undoubtedly the Howard Castle, which belongs to the Howard family.
And not only in Norfolk, but in the whole of England and even in Europe, Howard Castle is considered a great building.
Howard Castle has a history of 280 years so far. It was built in 1699, after three generations, it took more than 100 years to finally complete.
The entire Howard Castle covers an area of more than one thousand acres and has 145 rooms. It is the breeding ground of the Howard family, but because the Howard family is not prosperous, most of the rooms are left unused.
At this time, in the lobby of Castle Howard, the 48-year-old Duke Carter Howard leaned on the leather sofa, stroked the emerald finger on his right thumb, and quietly listened to a detailed report from a subordinate in front of him.
"My lord, the investigation leads have been interrupted. The current intelligence shows that it was a person code-named'Blue Eagle' who instigated five of them to kidnap Master Henry. The mission issuer did not find out. Although the five murderers provided information with the'Blue Eagle' For the clues of the meeting with the eagle, our people found that the blue eagle had disappeared after finding the place. MI6 is also under full investigation, and there is no news yet."
Hearing this result, Carter Howard looked gloomy, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.
Three days have not been found, but only one person code-named ‘Blue Eagle’ has been found. The real murderer has not yet surfaced, and there is a figure flashing through his mind, but he is not sure.
Because he was removed from the right to inherit the title of Duke when he was young, the family did not put much pressure on him. He was also a **** character and was famous throughout England.
It’s just a surprise that Carter Howard fell in love with a commoner girl when the sun came out to the west, and changed his past, no longer linger in feasting, and became a good man at home.
Later, he and his wife were left with a daughter and a son. After the unexpected death of his eldest brother's family, he inherited the Duke of Norfolk. His only son Henry Howard was the most suitable heir to the Duke in the future.
Moreover, his wife passed away seven years ago. Although his nature slowly recovered, he has never remarried and still only has one son.
Now that the enemy is attacking his only son, how can he not be angry!
After knowing the matter, he mobilized the power of the family to investigate, and at the same time, as the duke of his staunch royalist party, met with Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty immediately ordered the MI6 Bureau to intervene in the investigation to maintain the dominance of the nobility.
Unexpectedly, it's been three days, but this is the result!
However, even though Carter Howard was angry, he didn't blame his subordinates. After all, MI6 couldn't find out. It was normal that the power of their Howard family could not be found out. The unknown enemy could only be blamed for being too cunning.
What he can do is to increase the secret security force for his son and daughter in addition to the bodyguard on the face.
"What about the others? How are Elena and Henry today?"
Temporarily revealing this topic, Carter Howard said lightly.
The subordinate secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up and reported truthfully: "The young lady and the young master went to the Bright Fund in the City of London today, waited until Xia Yu, and then went... At 5:31 in the afternoon, Xia Yu left."
When Carter Howard heard his subordinates say that Elena invited Xia Yu to the residence, and Henry was still learning kung fu with Xia Yu's bodyguard named Li Wuming, his eyes became deep.
Then he quietly picked up the information on the desktop, and flipped through it again.
Although there has been more and more information about Xia Yu in the past few days, Carter Howard has also watched it many times from Britain to Xiangjiang, and every time he sees it, he is shocked.
He did not expect that Xia Yu, who had saved his son, was so outstanding. He grew up from the son of an ordinary fisherman to the current leader of a consortium at a young age, and also defeated Cather, the leader of the first British consortium in the Far East. Gram family.
At that time, he also suspected that the mastermind behind Henry's distress from time to time Xia Yu was just trying to get close to their family. Later, after investigation, Xia Yu's suspicion was cleared.
Today, his daughter and son went to Xia Yu to express their gratitude, and he acquiesced.
It's just that he never thought that his little princess, who was pretentious to men, would invite Xia Yu to the house, and his youngest son would learn kung fu from his bodyguard.
After investigating Xia Yu’s information, the information of Li Wuming, a personal bodyguard, was naturally known to Carter Howard. Li Wuming’s sturdy record in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia let him know that this is a kung fu master with amazing melee combat power. Much better than the Kung Fu teachers that his son Henry asked before.
When Henry came back from distress, he begged him to dig Li Wuming over to teach him kung fu for a long time. Carter Howard was still hopeful at first, but after learning about the information, he knew that he wanted to dig him from Xia Yu, almost never. may.
So now that Henry's wish has come true, Carter Howard is also very happy to learn kung fu from Li Wuming.
Compared to face, he cares more about his son's feelings.
"Master Duke, do you need to strengthen the monitoring of Xia Yu next?"
The subordinate asked in a low voice.
Carter Howard thought for a while, a smile appeared on his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "No, since he is a friend of Elena and Henry and saved Henry's life, he is naturally a friend of our Howard family."
"With your abilities, it is difficult to monitor him secretly. It is estimated that he has been discovered now, so let's withdraw and devote your energy to protecting Elena and Henry."
"I don't want to appear again!"
At the end, Carter Howard's face was cold, his voice suddenly raised, shocking his subordinates.
"understand!"
"Okay, go down first, and report to me whenever you have a situation!"
Carter Howard finished speaking and waved his subordinates away.
After the subordinates quietly retreated, Carter Howard looked at the information in his hand again with an interesting smile on his mouth.
"He is capable of being a friend of the Howard family..."
"Want to buy the Financial Times? Haha, it was too simple to think, but now that Henry is saved, I will help you. The Howard family doesn't like to owe favors to others..."
"It seems that I haven't seen Philip for a month~www.ltnovel.com~ just by the way to talk to him about the campaign..."
...
Five days later, Xia Yu received good news from George Berkeley, and he was a little dazed.
Because Pearson Group changed its previous cold-faced attitude and even agreed to sell 71% of the shares in the Financial Times Company. The acquisition process has entered the negotiation and bargaining stage like a leap!
This was completely beyond his expectation. In Xia Yu’s original vision, the Daily Telegraph in the hands of Canadian Black should make progress first, but he did not expect the Financial Times to break through first, and it still broke through. , The biggest difficulty facing the acquisition of "Financial Times" was broken!
He remembers that when he asked about the situation the day before yesterday, George Berkeley also said that the acquisition of equity by scattered minority shareholders had progressed, and that the Pearson Group was not giving face at all and should not be able to resolve it within a month.
Unexpectedly, the situation would be reversed just two days after finishing talking. How could he not be surprised?
For this reason, Xia Yu did not stay at home too much, and came to the Bright Fund for the first time and found George Berkeley.
