“We don’t have time! My men told me that the president is inclined to agree with our competitor’s proposal. Even with what our factories can make, we can hardly meet the conditions for petroleum processing! We need to resolve this now, or it’s over for us! These petroleum fields are our everything! We cannot afford to lose this!” Elder Sahar roared.Kimbra looked less furious, but his frown had yet to unfurl fully. He knew his family, and his position as the head of the family, were at risk.Suddenly, someone spoke up. “Perhaps you should step down, Kimbra. Your impulsiveness was what brought the Elvis family to our door. Everything will be alright again once you step down.”Now that someone had spoken up, more piped in to demand that Kimbra step down. “You are no longer suited to be our leader, Kimbra. Step down before you bring ruin to us all.”“He’s right. This would never have happened if Baltimore was still our leader. You have brought disaster to our family, Kimbra!” …
Kimbra looked at the protesters furiously.He felt the sudden urge to call the guards in and shoot all of them dead. Without a doubt, it would be a wonderful sight, their blood splattered across the tiles like New Year’s Eve fireworks.Yet, all he did was stare. He did not call in the guards, nor did he have anyone shot. For he knew that each and every one of those protesting were more than just themselves, they were also representatives for the powerful people supporting them.To hurt any one of them would be to declare war against those powerful forces. The Rothschilds and the Freemasons might not fear those powerful forces, but Kimbra certainly did and he was but the Rothschilds’ representative.Even if he managed to make enough profit for the Rothschilds, Kimbra knew that they would still discard him in a heartbeat, if it meant pacifying those forces. Suddenly, Kimbra felt a wave of despair come over him.The United States was not the only one who had their eyes on Qari’s
Everyone else filed out of the room as well, leaving Kimbra and the few terrified maids who waited on him.It was no secret that Kimbra was violent. Whenever he was angry, he would always take it out on his maids. The last time someone infuriated him, four maids paid the price with their lives. No one knew what happened to their bodies afterward. Qari was no stranger to war and death occurred more often than one could imagine. Someone healthy and alive could end up dead the next second. Fortunately, to the maids’ surprise, Kimbra left them alone. He grabbed his phone and dismissed them all, though his eyes were murderous as he watched them leave.“One of them has to be a spy, or they wouldn’t have reacted so quickly. It’s only been a few days since I’ve lost contact with Miss Bella, and they’ve already caught wind of it. I’ll have to clean out the rats once this is over,” Kimbra muttered to himself. After a few rings, the call connected.Kimbra was relieved to know that he h
It was a warning letter: “Dear Mr. Kimbra, We have reason to suspect your involvement in the disappearance of our Ambassador, Jasper Laine. Please contact us immediately and aid our investigation. If you are unable to provide a satisfactory response, we have every reason to believe that you are trying to provoke the Somer Government. In such case, Somerland shall blacklist all petroleum trading with the Kurt family and impose economic sanctions on your family.” Kimbra was furious. He was already in a precarious situation. He did not need Somerland rubbing salt into his injuries. If this was any other time, Kimbra might have ignored this warning letter. After all, all trade between the Kurt family and Somerland was done through an intermediary. However, sanctions from the Elvis and other families meant that the Kurts would have to sell petroleum via their own channels in the future, and Somerland was an important customer.Kimbra frowned, frustrated and worried. Ye
The vice president’s office, Qari Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.Abe was furious as he swore into the phone, “F*ck you, Kimbra! You have some nerve calling me right now. Do you know how much sh*t you’ve put me through?!“I’ve got more than half the chamber of commerce on my ass because of what you’ve done to the Elvis’! I almost lost my f*cking position because of you, you b*stard!“And what the f*ck is wrong with you? Are you f*cking stupid? Now is hardly the time to assassinate Jasper Laine! The Elvis family sees him as their f*cking savior! And you had your men kill him in Bardot? You couldn’t have f*cking waited until he got out of Bardot?! “The Elvis family thinks I played a part in killing Jasper, you bitch! You dragged me into this!”If this was any other time, Kimbra would already have shoved the barrel of his gun against the other person’s temple for shouting and swearing at him. This time, however, he held himself back because he knew Abe was his only hope. “I didn’
Abe smiled when he heard Kimbra’s plea. “I’ve heard of it, yes. But why would I help you? Ever since you became the head of your family, you’ve done nothing but cause trouble for us and now you’ve even dragged me into your sh*t as well. “You are rash, impulsive, and you never think about the consequences of your actions. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already made an enemy out of everyone!“So why must I help you? And don’t tell me it’s because you’re the head of the Kurt family. With the way you do things, it’ll only be a matter of time before they have you step down.” Abe’s words were dripping with disdain and belittlement. Kimbra took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. “We were in this together the moment we agreed to work for Bella, Abe. You’re right that you don’t have to help me, but if anything happens to me, it’ll only be a matter of time before it’s your turn.” The mention of Bella irked Abe. “Bella? Don’t f*cking bring her up in front of me.
Jasper smiled when he saw the pitiful expression on Kimbra’s face. There was nothing better than watching your enemy struggle and suffer.“Looks like the Kurt family is going through it, hmm? Different forces have already started getting involved, everyone wants to lead the family,” Celine said openly.She could not forget how Kimbra had almost gotten his way with her and Elibetha at the bar that day. Not even death could make her forgive him. “Kimbra can’t silence his family anymore, he has nothing to silence them with! This is our chance, Jasper! Their defenses will weaken, we might actually be able to attack them!” Rowan looked extremely excited. He could already imagine how cool it would look to barge into the Kurt Manor with guns blazing.Yet, Julian shook his head and disagreed. “On the contrary, Mr. Jefferson, I think the Kurts would reinforce their security instead after this. And it won’t just be their own soldiers, they’ll be getting help from other nations as well.
In fact, Snow had wanted to urge Jasper to send him back.He felt that Qari was a hotbed of rumors, and if he stayed, something might happen to him.However, he was living under Jasper's roof, and he knew that he had offended Jasper due to some of the dirty tricks he had pulled previously, so he never dared to bring it up.Now that the monitoring key was delivered and it proved the reliability of the surveillance video, he was even more eager to return home.“No, I will take you home after you finish doing these things for us.“And with so much happening now, the twists and turns of events will be many. What we had planned may not work.“It’s not safe for you to send you back at this time. You don’t want to get on the Security Bureau’s list so soon after you got out, right?”“Oh.”Snow felt a little downcast after hearing Jasper’s reply.“But don’t be too frustrated. What I need you to do for us next will promote the development of the Bitcoin project.”Jasper was afraid that
