Switzerland.
Zurich.
A modern chateau-style private residence.
At the huge fountain garden outside, several limited-edition Rolls-Royce custom-made black limousines were parked.
In the chateau-style villa, there was a huge guest room with world-famous oil paintings hanging in the surrounding corridors.
Every painting here was priceless. From medieval oil paintings to modern oil paintings, the arrangement was enough to show the taste of the owner of this house.
In the guest room, it was covered with luxurious and expensive carpets. Above it was a huge relief disc ceiling and expensive crystal lights.
Below it, there were several dignified guest chairs arranged in an orderly manner.
At this time, there were a total of seven people sitting on a circular chair. They were all sitting with their legs crossed. Some were smoking cigars, and some were sipping coffee.
But whether it was coffee or cigars, they were all top-notch supplies.
Among the seven people, the youngest was in his sixties, and the oldest was probably close to ninety years old.
The oldest had a head of white hair. He touched the edge of his coffee cup. After a long time, his relaxed eyelids opened slightly. He took a sip of coffee, then put the cup on the table and said, "Asia's High Lord (the highest title in the Freemasonry), I'm afraid it's not good on your side, right? You eat the resources of Europe, but there's no way to share the resources of Asia with everyone. Since the High Lords of all seven continents are here today, let's make things clear. Otherwise, you'll say that I'm being unreasonable in the middle. "
The High Lord from Asia was a Japanese. If history could be traced back, this Japanese was the representative of the Japanese Mitsubishi Consortium that had not been dissolved.
In Asia in the 20th century, the strongest economic origin was Japan. Back then, the Japanese were so rich that they once bought land in the United States like crazy. They were even richer than today's local tycoons in the Middle East, so the founder of the Japanese consortium could get the title of High Lord sitting here. Although Japan's influence in Asia was gradually replaced by Huaxia, his status and influence had always been stable as the High Lord of the Freemasonry's Asia Council.
However, the current High Lord of the Asia Council seemed to be in a bad situation.
Hearing the old Rothschild's question, the High Lord smiled bitterly. "I need the Society to send me the Knights of the Round Table to cooperate. I keep feeling that someone is trying to mess with me!"
The seven old people present were speechless.
"What do you mean?"
The Asian High Lord said, "We have always wanted to rope in the huge market that has just awakened, China. I have done a lot of work in this area over the past few years. I can even say that I have already infiltrated the internal sector. However, there was an accident. Everyone should know that after the country's reform and opening up, I got to know some of the four big families with a lot of financial resources, right? "
The other High Lords nodded. "You mentioned it a few years ago."
The Asian Supremacy said, "That's right. I also invested a lot of Wei Nation's industrial chains. However, just as I was preparing to join forces and lay out the plan, the four families were destroyed almost overnight!"
After saying that, even the Asian Supremacy felt dazed.
Rothschild nodded and said, "This is where the courage of that mysterious country lies. It's impossible for something like this to happen in the western capitalistic countries of Europe. That's why we've always kept a respectful distance from that country. However, China's economy has been advancing by leaps and bounds in recent years, and our Freemasonry isn't at the forefront in terms of resources. This is the worst outcome in history, and also our failure. As the Asian High Lord, you have to bear a lot of responsibility!"
The Asian Supremacy rubbed his brows and nodded. "Yes, I admit it. I'm not looking for excuses. I have the obligation to infiltrate that country. I was about to succeed, but this incident caused me to suffer huge losses. Also, one of the underground money houses under my conglomerate's name was wiped out in China. More than 30 billion USD in cash was lost. Even the listed companies that were sheltering this underground money house were investigated and rectified. A Wei Nation's chamber of commerce was unfortunately brought in. The collective market value of these listed companies and the underground money house lost a total of 100 billion USD! "
When the Asian Supremacy said this, he was practically blowing his beard and glaring at the table with one hand. He looked like he was unable to restrain his anger.
100 billion USD!
This was equivalent to one or two years of total profit for any financial group. For the Cloffe financial group, 100 billion USD was enough to cover a year's worth of military research and development expenses for the entire US military.
"Didn't you investigate this matter?"
"I did." The Asian Supremacy knocked his hand on the table and said slowly, "A criminal police officer, an outstanding criminal police officer. A very calculative, adventurous, and … a criminal police officer who likes to take risks. I'm a prudent person when I do things. I won't cooperate if I'm not 100% confident and reliable. Therefore, I found four troublesome underground forces in China's economic center. I spent ten years entangling with these four forces to form a chain of cooperation. Unexpectedly, because of a criminal police officer's inadvertent investigation, it triggered a series of purges, which directly cut off my foundation in China. Then, it was the same person who also destroyed the cooperation between the four families that I had been managing for decades. The four families were wiped out overnight. The funds I invested in them and various projects were directly put on hold. While the Chinese government confiscated the huge industries of the four families, one-tenth of my conglomerate's funds were also swallowed by that country. I can't get it back. "
At this moment, the representative of the Cloffe financial group was puzzled. "Why can't we get it back? Just use economic sanctions. "
At this moment, Old Rothschild smiled bitterly. "That's the scary thing about that country. Money isn't omnipotent there. But if you have power, you will definitely have money. Do you understand?"
The Asian Great Lord nodded. "The Pavilion Master is very thorough. That is indeed the case. That is why I feel that someone has their eyes on me. They have been trying to hurt me time and time again. If not for the Pavilion Master protecting me, I am afraid that my position as Great Lord would have been given to another Sage Plane."
Anyone who lost hundreds of billions of dollars during his tenure would indeed be dead. Fortunately, the Mitsui financial group was still very strong after it was disbanded. Otherwise, this Supremacy would have been given to the representative of other financial groups in Nihon.
Old Rothschild smiled and asked him, "Then, didn't you take revenge? You Nihon people are very crazy. I don't believe that you won't take revenge. "
"Of course I took action. My position was almost lost. How could I let the culprit go so easily?" The Asian Supremacy recalled and then smiled bitterly. "This is also why I've always hoped that the Society would send the Knights to our Asia branch. Do you still remember the scandal between our Yamai financial group and the Nihon government a year ago?"
The Cabinet Master and the other five Supremacies nodded. This incident directly caused the entire Nihon economy to decline by a full fifth of its financial resources! The impact was still very great.
"Could it be?" Old Rothschild narrowed his eyes. "It's also related to the Huaxia incident?"
The Asian Supremacy raised his head, closed his eyes, and nodded.
