A week after Ad returned to London, Henry Alsop's father, Harry Alsop, also returned to London.
Harry Alsop only has one son, Henry, so you can imagine how sad Harry Alsop was, even if the National Party won the subsequent election and Harry Alsop became the Prime Minister of the Transvaal.
All this is meaningless.
Coincidentally, Rock met Harry Alsop at Ad's house.
After meeting Roark, Harry Alsop's eyes turned red obviously, and the veins on the hand holding the cane were exposed. It was obvious that Harry Alsop was trying his best to endure.
"Good morning, Lord Mahanlath. I didn't expect to see you here. I heard about Henry. It's a pity that I haven't seen Henry since I returned to London. I hope everything is well with you." Rock.
He was not very enthusiastic, and certainly did not take pleasure in his misfortune. Harry Alsop observed carefully and found nothing unusual about Roque.
There is no guilt, no hatred, just a touch of alienation. On the surface, he is no different from the previous Rock.
"Lord Nyasaland, do you also think that Henry fell into the water by mistake? There must be a conspiracy behind this. I swear, I will find the mastermind behind it and use his blood and head to pay tribute to Henry." Regardless of Roark's performance.
How good that Harry Alsop believed that Rock had killed Henry.
"I wish you success!" Roque said noncommittally. If you want to take revenge, you must have that ability.
Now the London Police Department has determined that Henry fell into the water and died, and it was not murder. Therefore, even if Harry Alsop wants to pursue the case, he can only rely on his own abilities and cannot rely on the power of the British government.
It's not that Rock looks down on Harry Alsop. With Harry Alsop's power, it would be difficult to cause substantial harm to Rock. At most, Harry Alsop can rely on those ghostly things to do harm to Rock.
Rock had some impact.
But at the same time, Rock is also very good at guiding public opinion, so even if Harry Alsop wants to use public opinion to attack Rock, Rock will not be afraid. To guide public opinion and bribe reporters, you have to pay, Harry
Alsop is definitely not as rich as Rock, so Rock is not afraid of this level of threat at all.
Even if Harry Alsop wants to burn the boat, Rock will not be afraid. Among other things, the guards around Rock can be said to be Rock's dead soldiers. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for Rock at any time, because they know that even if
If they die, Rock will take good care of their families.
Not to mention that there is a protective umbrella lurking in secret. If Rock is willing, Rock can even create another accident and let Harry Alsop go to see God. Maybe they can meet again in heaven.
"Lord, although I shouldn't say this, I still hope you can forget your hatred." Ade does not recommend Harry Alsop to take revenge. He has no children and cannot understand this feeling.
"Alfred, how is this possible? Without Henry, my life has lost its meaning. I wake up from pain every night. In my dreams, I will dream of Henry telling me that he was killed.
Yes, I can't face Henry's eyes -" Harry Alsop finally lost his composure and covered his face with his hands on his knees.
Ad didn't know how to comfort Harry Alsop, so he glared at Rock with a stern look, and then motioned for Rock to leave.
Rock could only smile helplessly.
Back home, Rock has to face Phyllis.
Phyllis also finally learned the news of Henry Alsop's unexpected death. Like Harry Alsop, Phyllis's first target of suspicion was Roark.
"How is it possible? I haven't seen Henry Alsop at all since I came to London. Even if he is as hateful as before, the most I can do is ignore him and I won't kill him." Rock denied, and Phyllis
She and Henry Alsop grew up together. Even if Phyllis had no feelings for Henry Alsop, Phyllis would definitely not want to see Henry Alsop die brutally, so it would be very difficult to conceal it appropriately.
Important.
"Actually, Henry is a good person. We grew up together when we were young. He took good care of me at that time. It was only when he grew up that Henry became like this. It was his bad friends who harmed him." Phyllis must have trusted Luo unconditionally.
Phyllis will believe whatever Rock, Rock says.
Of course, Phyllis will inevitably feel depressed, which is normal.
"His main problem is that he overestimates his capabilities. He was too depressed in London, and then he was too arrogant in the Transvaal, but he didn't have the strength to be arrogant. In addition, he chose the wrong opponent, so he ended up like this.
It's not surprising." Rock didn't have the slightest fondness for Henry Alsop, so of course he couldn't apologize at all now.
Rock doesn't believe in those so-called "smiling at each other and forgetting grudges". It takes a lot of heart to forget what happened in the past. If it can be done, it will only prove that the hurt is not deep enough and there is no real hatred.
It should be the kind of thing that says "it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Regarding the relationship between Rock and Henry Alsop, if Rock now shows regret for Henry Alsop, it will arouse Phyllis' suspicion. This attitude is just right now, and he deserves to die. "People are already dead, don't say that." Phyllis also blamed Rock for not being virtuous.
Rock stopped talking nonsense and thought about how to deal with Harry Alsop. The old guy was more difficult to deal with than the little guy. Henry Alsop had just "accidentally died". If Harry Alsop also
An accidental death would be a lot of fun, and anyone would doubt the cause of their death.
In the evening, Winston came to Roark to remind Roark of William's threat.
"Henry Alsop seemed to have said something to William before he died. William was behaving very strangely during this period. He often got together with his group of friends and made a few new friends from the newspaper office. You have to be careful, although
I don't know what William is going to do yet, but this guy must be plotting against you." Winston didn't have the slightest fondness for William. It is said that open and secret fights between aristocratic families are also very common, with legitimate sons and concubines, side branches, and everything is a big drama every minute.
Performed.
"It's okay, thank you for reminding me Winston, I will pay attention to it." Rock was very annoyed. He had just killed a Henry Alsop, and a William Churchill with more background jumped out. Rock became more and more annoyed.
I hate this kind of life more and more, and my original expectations for the military academy have disappeared.
"The military academy has been in session for four weeks, should you go to school for classes, right?" Winston is also a graduate of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and he is very clear about the academy's course schedule.
"I will go to class in a few days." Rock considered whether to send Phyllis and Gavin back to Johannesburg first, so that if Rock felt that the situation was not good, he could leave at any time.
After all, London and Johannesburg are different. In Johannesburg, Roque is not afraid of overt or covert attacks. The situation in London is much more complicated. Roque doesn't want to provoke others, but others take the initiative to do so. Maybe it's because Roque has been too low-key during this period.
, makes people feel that Rock is easy to bully.
If you want to be high-profile, there is no way out. Just ask Tang En and other guards to put on the uniforms of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division. This way, if anyone dares to find trouble, they will think of Roque's position.
There are indeed a lot of barons in London, but there are very few barons who hold military positions and actually control the army. Not to mention that Roark's position was created with one knife and one shot. A brat like William, if he wants to target Roark, just
We must consider the consequences of Rock's counterattack.
Do whatever you want, and when they go out again in the afternoon, Tang En and a class of guards put on their uniforms, ride the temporarily purchased thoroughbred horses, and guard around Rock's carriage.
Not long after the carriage left home, Tang En leaned in front of the carriage window and reported in a low voice: "Sir, there is a carriage following us."
What the hell, you dare to follow me in public?
Rock wanted to laugh out loud, and immediately gave Tang En instructions: "Catch the man and send him to the manor. No matter what method you use, pry his mouth open for me."
Tang En also wanted to laugh out loud, and led a few guards to turn around and ride away.
That night, a superintendent from the London Police Department found Rock Manor.
"Sorry, your lord is not here." The guards at the gate of the manor have also changed into military uniforms and will not let the superintendent enter the manor at all.
"Then can you tell me where the Lord has gone?" the superintendent asked patiently, not even thinking of getting angry.
This is London, but Rock's guards are actually equipped with light machine guns when patrolling: Are these bastards treating London as a battlefield!
"Sorry, your lord is not here." The guard remained serious.
The superintendent had no choice but to leave sadly.
Throughout the night, the phone in Rock's office never stopped ringing.
The next morning, Rock took the initiative to go to the London Police Station.
"Mr. Director, when I went to find Lord Harewood yesterday, I found someone following my carriage, so my guards arrested the person. Now he is outside. This is a confession." Rock came with evidence.
of.
Police Chief Leonard Bennett had a complicated expression when he read the confession.
The people following Roque's carriage were two reporters from the Daily Mail. They made it very clear that they were informed by the editor of the Post, Alva Bunian, and William, the second-in-line heir to the Duke of Marlborough.
·James Spencer Churchill ordered to track Locke's carriage.
The Daily Mail also has a rich background. Its founder is Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, who was just awarded a knighthood this year for his contribution to the journalism industry.
William Churchill has a huge background. Although the Duke of Marlborough has no specific position, he ranks tenth in the British aristocratic system, and the police department does not dare to provoke him.
"Lord Nyasaland, what are you going to do?" Leonard Bennett tested Rock's tone.
"London is your place, not mine." Rock also has experience as a police officer and understands Leonard Bennett's difficulties.
