At the same time, Evel Benedick's skin turned yellow, and she seemed to be dead. Her eyes were blankly looking at the scroll in her hand.
Beside her, Evel's eldest son, Bode Benedick, was also as pale as a sheet of paper. However, this man could still think normally.
"Sign quickly, mama, without any further delay. We have no choice, Ms. Brad is already urging us."
"But that's Atlantic Intercontinental Bank! Other industries are fine, but Atlantic Intercontinental Bank—"
Evele came back to her senses leisurely: "You know what this bank means to us, right?"
"I know, of course I know."
Bode lowered his head so that no one could see his expression clearly, and his voice was hoarse and bitter: "But grandpa lost, he lost to the blood-eyed angel. Our wishes are no longer relevant, right? At this point,
, do you still want to recover? Is there any way to recover?"
"It's my fault, my fault."
Evele shook her teeth, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her lips: "I thought I could knock down that bastard before he rose, but the truth is that he had already grown into a giant while we were not paying attention.
Dragon. Poor Calvin, his incompetent great-grandfather and grandmother, not only could not avenge him, but -"
Bode abruptly interrupted Evele's words. His voice was high-pitched, with undisguised resentment: "I'm sorry, but as far as I know, many people in the clan, even some of my brothers,
, thinking that he brought disaster to us Benedict. In fact, as early as decades ago, I believed that the marriage with the Wildenstein family was also a mistake, and there was no need for us to get involved. My grandfather
, and he will not suffer this humiliation."
Evele Benedick's body trembled slightly. She glanced at her eldest son in disbelief. Then she became a little absent-minded and wrote her name on the scroll with trembling hands.
"You have grown up! Bode. Yes, every child will eventually leave the wings of his parents. You may be right this time. Our family has paid too much for Wildenstein. So Bode, if I
If I leave my family to you now, can you wash away the shame of our family and win the next war in half a year?"
"I have no idea!"
Bode shook his head slightly, with two emotions of 'confused' and 'determined' in his eyes: "Before this, I need a comprehensive intelligence. I have to carefully assess the strength of our enemy. In half a year's time,
In the war, what will Benedick pay for-"

Li Mochen received the terms of the peace treaty three minutes after Kang Xiuli and others reached an agreement. At this time, he was on his way back to Atlanta with the help of a supersonic plane with a sci-fi feel arranged by Anthony.
However, a black owl suddenly jumped out of the void and entered the cabin.
Li Mochen recognized this as a magic messenger, and its owner seemed to have some intention of demonstrating.
"This is the family pet of Ms. Christie Blade, the vice president of the New World Magic Association."
Anthony glanced at the owl and noticed a silver ring on the talons, and then he smiled sarcastically: "It seems that this war can't be fought."
"I heard that Ms. Brad is a powerful magician?" Li Mochen asked curiously, while taking out an animal skin scroll from the cylinder under the owl's claws.
"Her cultivation is indeed very advanced, but she hasn't reached this level yet."
Anthony shook his head: "But the Vice Chairman of the Magic Association appointed by His Excellency the President has magician-level power. That is a gift from the Statue of Liberty to this country."
At this time, Li Mochen, who was carefully reading the terms of the peace treaty, frowned slightly: "Anthony, can you help me conduct a general investigation on what properties the Benedict family has in Atlanta and Macon? And what are the specifics of Intercontinental Atlantic Bank?
"
"Intercontinental Bank of the Atlantic? Is this a condition for an armistice? Wow, you will make a lot of money this time. This is a large bank with a market value of 42 billion gold guilders and has deposits of nearly 150 billion gold guilders.
Due to its long history, it also owns a large amount of fixed assets, with total assets of approximately 200 billion gold shields. Benedy
The Gram family has a relative controlling stake of 55% in this bank. As long as you own this bank, you will not have to worry about funding problems in the future. This is even the key to controlling the Benedict family.
Most of the Benedict family's businesses now receive financial support from this bank."
Then Anthony made another call and turned to Li Mochen: "The Benedict family's properties in Atlanta and Macon are mainly real estate. There are a total of nine skyscrapers less than thirty years old, and twelve more.
There are an apartment building and 14 pieces of land under development or available for development, with total assets of about 12.5 billion gold shields. If you can develop them, you will get more income. I don’t know what this is.
Whose idea was it, but he obviously has a good vision."
"In other words, assets worth a total of 35 billion gold shields?"
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Although this wealth is very surprising, half a year later, I will have to face a battle involving more than ten demigods."
"Only half a year? That's right. For Philip I, the sooner the war starts, the better. Although he was caught off guard this time, with this person's background, as long as he has ten days, he can organize a plan to defeat you.
The power. But once it is delayed for too long, it will be difficult to determine the outcome. Time is on your side. He knows that you will become stronger and stronger——"
Anthony smiled slightly: "I actually want to know, what did your grandfather get?"
Li Mochen didn't say anything, and simply handed over the contract for Anthony to read. The latter immediately laughed: "Wow, it seems we can't see Kang Xiuli retiring. And this Mr. Linden, who inserted it very decisively
.Red Dragon Mining Company, and Linden Properties
With the Linden Hotel chain, there are more than 20 billion gold shields. The Linden family, whose wealth is declining, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although our Excellency the President is generally partial to them, at least on the surface
, their mediation is quite fair."
"To be honest, this is actually what I'm looking forward to. If possible, I don't want to have a decisive battle with them at this time."
While Li Mochen was talking, he decisively signed his name on the contract scroll, and then stuffed it into the cylinder on the owl's talon.
Anthony, who was sitting next to him, was not surprised: "Of course, for you, even if it only takes half a year, your strength will increase exponentially. I will try my best to help you build one within half a year.
Light and Magic No. 8 Armor, I’m looking forward to watching you pilot this armor to fight.”
