Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 814: Chapter 258: He Suppressed Two Eras, After All (Thanks to the Alliance Leader ‘Nine-tiered Pagoda’)_3

“Ah?”

Upon hearing this, the young man was so shocked that he could scarcely add anything more.

At the same time, his eyes sparkled with bright vivacity.

He had never heard his father speak so highly of anyone before!

At that age, there is always a certain inexplicable worship for powerful figures.

Listening to these legendary experiences, the young man questioned further, “But Father, if this person is so remarkable, why haven’t I heard much about him? At least he isn’t that famous…”

Robert smiled and countered his son, “Are you referring to celebrity biographies? Or newspapers, textbooks? Or perhaps the ‘wealth lists’ concocted by bored reporters?”

“This…”

The young man was indeed referring to that.

But, seen through by his father, he dared not answer.

Otherwise, it would always leave one feeling a sense of ignorant defeat.

Robert answered his own question, his voice laden with deep meaning, “Because… behind all the mainstream media groups in the Federation now, there looms the shadow of the Song Family.”

“Ah?”

As soon as the young man heard this, his eyes lit up.

He understood instantly.

The media was under control!

Seeing just a corner and yet perceiving the whole, how clever indeed!

How had they managed that?

Continuing, Robert’s eyes also held profound depths as he said, “Moreover, when our family reaches this height, what we need to see is much higher. Money is just a part of it. The networks laid out invisibly are truly terrifying. She was alive for over a hundred years; do you think about how many connections she’s laid out? Those conceited fools in the Song Family now, who indulge in pleasures, have no idea how formidable their own grandmother is. They actually believe that because she hasn’t handled affairs for decades, her knife has dulled…”

As he spoke, he looked at his son, whose eyes were shining, and taught, “I didn’t tell you before because you were too young to understand the hidden dangers in these struggles. Seeing through those arrangements requires great vision and insight. It is also for fear you would feel as if there was an insurmountable mountain, with intentions uncomprehended. Now… she has passed away. I, your grandfather, and many others, have only just truly dared to take a breath of relief.”

Back then, wasn’t he the same? She was so dazzling that he couldn’t look directly at her.

It truly felt like her plans didn’t belong to that backward era, unreachable in their loftiness.

Her sudden emergence dominated the Financial Field of the Federation for two whole eras!

Thinking back on those years, Robert couldn’t help but express his sentiments, “In those years, in terms of money, whether it was the scope, vision, or maneuvering, who hasn’t felt the suffocating oppression of that woman from the Song Family…”

“So, Senator Kean… is doomed?”

Upon hearing this, the young man finally understood how partial his own view had been.

No wonder his father wasn’t worried at all, so that was the reason.

Yet he was also brimming with excitement, even feeling his hairs stand on end.

Just listening to these grand strategies made his blood boil, giving him an urge to show off his skills amidst the stormy seas.

Robert said, “Yes. Not to mention a mere House of Representatives member, it’s possible that some restless Senators will be performing somersaults…”

He looked at his son before him, as if seeing through everything, and continued, “This game is deep. I haven’t figured it out yet. Our Morton Family should try not to get involved this time. The people you’ve arranged should keep a low profile.”

“Yes, Father.”

The young man responded respectfully.

After hearing this, he realized that his own “arrangements” were truly like child’s play.

Robert continued, “Anyway, she made an indelible contribution to the entire financial system of the Federation. That’s why I said she’s a predecessor and elder worth admiring. Although no one received an invitation to the funeral, a visit to pay her last respects is appropriate. This time, watch closely and see how exquisite her arrangements were. Even in her death, some will tremble. If you can understand even the slightest bit, it will benefit you for a lifetime.”

The young man respectfully said, “Yes, Father.”

But after speaking, a flicker of doubt appeared in Robert’s discerning eyes as he murmured to himself, “Strange… why did she make such a fuss to come to this remote Sinless City in her last moments?”

…

Leonard Churchill came out of the room.

At the doorway, Mr. Dove, dressed in a black suit, stood upright as always.

It seemed as if he had already known the outcome, wearing his most solemn suit today to send her off on her last journey.

Seeing Leonard emerge, Mr. Dove seemed to age considerably, his turbid eyes dimming as he whispered in his heart, “The young miss is gone…”

Leonard sensed the decline in the old man’s vitality.

But before he could speak, Leonard suddenly felt a wave of “malice.”

Mr. Dove obviously sensed it too and let out a cold snort.

Right then, several specters suddenly appeared in the Void, lunging towards the room behind Leonard.

“Scram!”

Mr. Dove shouted angrily as a surge of green Curse Power burst forth from his body.

But as he was about to act, two hands suddenly emerged around his neck, seizing it tightly. An expanse of Sealing Curse Seals flowed from the arms and instantly sealed the Curse Power Mr. Dove had not yet released.

At the same time, a mocking laugh resounded, “Hehehe… old man, just stay put!”

Seeing this scene, Leonard instantly grew apprehensive, “The White Family’s Secret Fetus Parasitic Technique?”

He also realized then what these people were headed to the room for!

Even though Vera Williams’s body had already dissipated, their desecration made Leonard’s eyes grow cold.
