Chapter 266 The Scarlet Family (Part 2)(1/3)
Karen looked at the ball at his feet, oh no, a head. For a moment, he had the urge to step on it and catch the ball, but he restrained himself in the end.
He was not frightened by the scene in front of him, he was just surprised.
This kind of strife between high-level families often appears to be very bloody and cruel. He has already prepared this psychologically, and it is not unpredictable. But such an opening made Karen very curious as to how this will happen next.
continue to develop.
The key is so high, how can you keep singing?
Ophelia looked down at her brother's head, took a deep breath, and said nothing.
She had a normal relationship with her three brothers. They rarely met each other except for family celebrations after they came of age. Moreover, Dante's previous words made her a little worried that Karen would misunderstand her.
When she first arrived in Wayne, she had talked with Karen about "Rozin's Secret Diary" in the car. Ordinary people read this book to get a glimpse of the luxury and absurdity of the real upper class society, but she read this book
The book is like reading realistic literature.
Patriarch Weiner looked at his son's head, and then at his younger brother.
"Tuffman!"
Tuffman completely ignored his brother's anger, but focused his gaze on Karen, as if asking for Karen's reply.
Karen said: "I can't help but accept such a sincere apology."
But Tuffman shook his head and said: "He just said it himself that his captain of the guard betrayed him, which proves that he is probably unaware of it. The four killers disguised as waiters are very weak. I heard the report that among them
One still committed suicide by taking poison, but who has never heard of the 'awakening technique' of the Cult of Kosmos?
Using four killers of average strength, and also killing themselves by taking poison, how can I put it, compared with the insect used for poisoning, the gap is really big, are you right?"
"I think so too, General."
Tuffman pointed to the head on the ground and said, "So, someone wanted to kill you and then deliberately framed you for Dante."
"Yes."
"Then who is this person?" General Tuffman said with some regret, "Oh, it's a pity. My head was cut off by me. I can't let Karen wake him up with the resuscitation technique and ask again.
.”
"Tuffman!"
Patriarch Weiner called his brother again.
"It seems that the real murderer behind the scenes is me, because I was in a hurry to kill someone and silence them, right?"
Karen didn't respond.
Tafman himself laughed and said: "But I will never hurt my Ophelia. The person she likes, no matter who he is or what his identity is, I will not be willing to hurt him."
"Tuffman!"
This was the third time that Patriarch Weiner shouted his brother's name.
"Brother, if you only know how to shout my name loudly when something like this happens, then you might as well shut up and don't affect the time on the wall clock later."
"you……"
"Dante's chief of guard was once a disciple of Elder Ma Qiao. Elder Ma Qiao only had one daughter. She married our clan leader and gave birth to His Highness."
"Tuffman, what do you mean?"
"There are not many people who know Karen's identity. Me, you, and those elders, who will be the ultimate beneficiary of this assassination of Karen? It seems that these days, Ophelia and Ka
Karen was too close, and some people knew about it. Some people knew that once Ophelia and Karen were together, it would mean the continuation of the love story between their ancestors Bernard and Miss Pall. Then Ophelia
The position of the next patriarch is almost impossible to change.
Even Karen's bloodline and story, as Ophelia's husband, can legitimately participate in the management of Darkmoon Island.
Some people don’t want their only grandson to lose his position as patriarch.”
"Tuffman, you have already killed Dante, do you still want to do something to my other son..."
"Do you believe what his grandpa announced? Doesn't he know? What your eldest son Yisi likes to do most is to run to his grandpa, hold his grandpa's knees and cry out about the injustice he encountered here. This is not
It’s not a secret, many people know about it.”
"Evidence, evidence!"
"Oh, the evidence is..."
Tuffman clapped his hands, the door of the compartment was opened, and a middle-aged guard wearing armor and with a beard walked in.
"His Royal Highness Dante, the captain of the guard, pays homage to the clan leader, pays homage to the general, pays homage to His Highness!"
"The evidence is that this guard captain is a person who is loyal to Dark Moon. Although he once studied martial arts under Elder Ma Qiao, all his loyalty was dedicated to Dark Moon.
Therefore, he had already told me by writing a letter about calling Elder Ma Qiao to arrange for him to be a traitor here. Yesterday, he came to me specifically and told me that Elder Ma Qiao sent someone
He was told to prepare one thing, which was to help assassinate Karen and then frame the blame on Dante.
He also keeps some correspondence and tokens given to him by Elder Ma Qiao. Brother, all the evidence you want is here."
"Is he one of yours?" Chief Weiner asked.
"They are from Darkmoon Island." Tuffman corrected.
"Did you know they were going to attack Karen?"
"Yes, he reported it to me." Tafman nodded and admitted, "But something went wrong. The time he reported to me was after the negotiation meeting was over, when everyone was relaxing and having fun, and then he took action. Unexpectedly,
Tonight is ahead of schedule."
The head guard immediately said: "Yes, tonight is an emergency. Because Mr. Karen came to take a bath in the hot spring tonight, they took action in advance without authorization. The bugs and cups were given by Elder Macao a long time ago."
Tuffman looked at Karen and said: "Don't blame me for not informing you in advance. This is a family scandal. I want to cover it up and try to make you have more favorable impressions of our Darkmoon Island instead of seeing these filth. According to me,
My plan is to get rid of them all before they attack you, so that you can enjoy this journey safely."
"I don't blame you, General."
All of this progressed so quickly. As soon as Dante died, clues to the real mastermind emerged, and the captain of the guard actually turned out to be a witness.
It means that all the investigation links have been omitted, and the rest is direct.
"Then why did you kill Dante!" Patriarch Weiner asked.
"My closest subordinate is someone else's chess piece. I have been blinded without knowing it. When something happens, I panic and say everything. Brother, keeping such a useless son is really a waste of our secrets."
Tsukishima’s bread.”
"you……"
"Well, although things have gone a little awry now, Karen and Ophelia are both safe at last. I think what we should do now is give Karen a result.
elder brother,
Lend me your clan leader's token, and I will mobilize your guards."
"You want me to hand you the patriarch's token, mobilize my guards, and then..."
"Yes, then go and kill your eldest son. Because the news is blocked well, the news he has received now should be that Karen is dead, and Dante is being questioned, and maybe he is shaking the red wine glass while celebrating.
.
oh,
Elder Ma Qiao might also be there, and the grandson and grandpa are celebrating this victory together."
"Tuffman, don't you think you really don't take me, my brother, this patriarch, seriously?"
"Brother, do you know that a few months ago, there was an assassination rebellion against me in the fleet, but it was suppressed in time. The reason is because I have always firmly supported Ophelia.
If I don't treat you as my brother and the clan leader, I won't go back to the island alone, I will come back with my fleet.
When the time comes, you can ask those sailors whether they listen to you, the clan leader, or to me."
"You...you..."
Tuffman stepped forward and reached out to take off the token from Weiner's waist. Patriarch Weiner subconsciously wanted to reach out and stop him:
"Brother, if you continue to stop me, I will go back to the sea tonight."
Patriarch Weiner was stunned.
Tuffman picked up the token, looked at Karen and Ophelia, and said: "The carriage is ready, let's go together."
Karen did not refuse, because Tafman gave him no room to refuse. From the moment he entered the living room until now, the development of things was completely under Tafman's control.
This man who holds the military power of Darkmoon Island does have the qualifications to run rampant on Darkmoon Island.
He is not a clan leader, but he is the most powerful person on Dark Moon Island.
As the carriage moved forward, Tuffman sat opposite, and Karen and Ophelia sat side by side.
On the way, another person came up. This person Karen had seen today. Standing behind Patriarch Weiner was His Highness the Third.
The Third Highness seemed to have just been called out of bed. He was wearing a nightgown and his hair was disheveled.
"Uncle, what happened?"
Tafman did not answer him, but handed a bag next to him to His Highness. His Highness reached out to take it, opened it, and then screamed. Inside was the head of his second brother.
