It would be a lie to say that Morgan and Rockefeller patriarchs were not panicking. With the capture of Navas, the European High Lord, the information he knew could be said to be the entire core structure of the Freemasonry. This meant that if the guests managed to get their information out of him, it would be time for the guests to make their move!
Therefore, they had to either rescue Navas before he revealed the background of the Freemasonry, or kill him! Or kill the guests!
However, it was very difficult to achieve all three. They could only exchange hostages for hostages if they didn't want to fight without bloodshed. No matter what, Navas was in the hands of the guests. Both of them were very flustered. Therefore, it wasn't that they wanted to rebel against the duke, but that they had been forced into a corner. The guests needed the duke to make a move, or they would be targeted by the guests. The feeling of being unable to sleep at night was too torturous for them.
However, both of them and Old Ross were right. The duke still hadn't made a move at this time. Could it be that he was the one behind the guests?
Perhaps he was just trying to balance the Freemasonry?
After all, the Freemasonry's current status was too great. It was inevitable that the duke would be suspicious and create a new group of guests to suppress and deal with the Freemasonry.
Or perhaps, it wasn't that the duke didn't want to make a move, but that the duke no longer existed?
If that was the case, the Morgan and Rockefeller families had no choice but to reconsider their stance. To be honest, they didn't want their family business, which had been built up for centuries, to be destroyed in this generation. They were pure businessmen, and their aim was to gather capital. However, if they were to be implicated in the war between the Freemasonry and the guests and lose their profits, they would never bet all their money on it. The Freemasonry wasn't everything to them. At most, they would sacrifice a portion of the losses. Therefore, once the situation turned bad, both of them would immediately retreat, even if it meant surrendering to the guests to make their stance clear.
Old Ross was also an old fox. He naturally knew what the two of them were thinking. That was why he had such a huge reaction when they raised their objections. However, this was also a common problem for businessmen. They wouldn't bet all their capital on a single project. They would always leave a way out for themselves.
However, just as the Morgan and Rockefeller families thought, Navas knew too much. His capture was a fatal problem for the Freemasonry.
Old Ross stood up and said to the butler, "Prepare the carriage. We're going to Priamar Castle."
In a sealed room in the UK's temporary base for foreign visitors.
A Frenchman in his sixties was tied to a chair with a sack over his head. After the sack was pulled open by Mario, the captive's hairstyle was messy and his suit and leather shoes were dusty.
When the light pierced his eyeballs, he narrowed his eyes and raised his head. When he saw the three people wearing hideous doll masks on their heads, his expression changed drastically. He shouted hoarsely as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Don't kill me! Please let me go, I was just following orders. "
In front of him were Mario, Li Wei, and Lin Dong.
Li Wei sat in front of him with his legs crossed, looking at him without saying a word.
Navas kept begging for mercy. He almost knelt down because he was tied up.
After a long time, Li Wei yawned and said, "Can you have some backbone? Don't you Freemasonry like to incite those soldiers who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of capital to destroy us? What, now that you're face to face with us, you're afraid? Hasn't the Freemasonry been looking for us guests? You're very lucky, you know that? "
Navas was so anxious that he cried.
He was already so old that his pants were wet.
Not to mention their opponents, even the people in the underground world knew how fierce the guests were. Under normal circumstances, provoking them would mean death!
In this world, it seemed that no one had seen an undying opponent of the guests. Therefore, he couldn't help but be afraid!
"I'm just a temporary replacement. It's not me who wants to kill you, but the people of the Round Table Conference. I'm just replacing the former Lord Abu Tabi as king."
Li Wei asked, "So, you're also a Lord?"
"I …" Navas was speechless. "I'm just temporary."
Li Wei asked, "What's going on with the Round Table Conference?"
Navas replied, "Are you sure you won't kill me if I tell you? Otherwise, I won't tell you."
Mario grinned. "I'm afraid you don't know how we interrogate people, right? Let me tell you, in this world, there is no country more terrifying than our guests' interrogation. Do you want to give it a try? I'm happy to help. If you think you have the capital to bargain with us, I don't mind telling you who I am! "
Navas knew that if he wanted to live, he had to keep his mouth shut and negotiate with them. Otherwise, he would definitely die.
Compared with death, he chose to be tough rather than soft. It was not that he had a backbone, but that he was really afraid of death.
"I know that you're a trustworthy organization. I don't ask for anything else. I'll tell you what you want to know, and you let me go." Navas looked at the three people and said tentatively, trembling with fear.
He was a businessman and knew how to figure people out. If the three people wanted to kill him, they would have done it long ago without waiting for him to wake up, which meant that he was still useful. Navas felt that what he said might be the last straw that could save him.
Lin Dong smiled.
Standing up from the chair, he walked to Navas unhurriedly as he said, "We are very principled, but it depends on the person. Don't expect us to talk about principles when it comes to the Freemasonry. Since we kidnapped you, we have never thought of letting you leave alive. You can either commit suicide or spit out what you know. We can send your body to your home and give you a decent funeral. What do you think?"
Navas's body was trembling, and his voice was also trembling. "Don't you want to save that woman? Believe me, I can exchange for her with my life! Really, the people of the Round Table Conference definitely don't want me to fall into your hands. They will definitely agree to your conditions. "
Lin Dong said, "We've been hiding from the Freemasonry for a year. I feel that instead of living like this, why don't we try to kill you in a grand way?"
"What, what do you mean?" Navas didn't understand.
"You don't understand?" Lin Dong chuckled as he bent down from Navas's back and whispered in his ear, "Don't you want to kill us? But you can't find us, so you used that woman. Why can't we make use of that? "
Navas's eyes widened. "Did you send that woman back to the UK on purpose?"
Lin Dong said, "In order to kill you, we used the most important person as a bargaining chip. So, do you think we will let you go? What that woman has suffered these days will be doubled on you. There is no redemption! "
After saying that, Lin Dong took out a sharp dagger from his waist and directly stabbed it into Navas's shoulder!
"Ah!" Navas burst out a shrill scream.
