The Dawn had been attacked, Allen had lost contact, and the entire hunting squad had lost all news. The fate of the members was unknown. Since there was also an Adele among them, the Morsons joined the ranks of solidarity after Bescot's statement. However, Old Kate and Horn had always been on good terms, and with her granddaughter implicated, it was reasonable for her to support Bescot.
Unexpectedly, almost as soon as the Morsen Clan's voice was announced, the William Clan, one of the three great clans, also made their own voice.
The representative of the William Clan righteously pointed out that the mastermind behind the scenes was despicable, with the talent Allen had displayed at the last press conference. Once this young man with limitless potential was buried in this despicable attack, it would not only be a loss for Bescot, but also a loss for the entire Federation.
In the following lengthy statement, the William Clan made their position clear that they would do everything in their power to assist Bescot in investigating the attack. After several clans issued successive statements, the Federation finally responded.
A notice was personally issued by the President's Secretary's Office. The document stated that the Federation would send a search and rescue team to search for traces of the Dawn and would set up an independent investigation committee to deal with the matter. The Federation's actions were not only because it involved members of several large clans, but more importantly, there was also an Adahua Planet Empress on the Dawn!
Even though the Great Emperor had many children, he would definitely not let it go if he knew that one of the imperial daughters had been buried in a conspiracy of interests between Babylon for no reason. Whether it was out of consideration for allies or Adahua Planet's strength that far surpassed that of the Earth Federation, President Mobius had no choice but to investigate the matter with all his might.
This was undoubtedly an even worse matter for the President, who was facing an all-out war on the floating island and on the ground due to the recent breakdown of negotiations with the Gate of Freedom.
Allen's disappearance was a response to a few happy and a few sad words. Naturally, Horn and his other relatives and friends were worried. Those who were happy were those who wished for Allen to turn into cosmic dust. Diego was one of them.
After hearing the news, Diego even held a small private banquet to celebrate the disappearance of Allen, the thorn in his side. After the press conference, Allen's talent in sequences had already made Diego feel threatened. In terms of personal strength, he had gradually distanced himself from Allen. If Allen trampled on the Magic Cube sequence, Diego's pitiful self-esteem would not be able to withstand such a blow.
Therefore, Allen's disappearance was a great thing for him. He couldn't help but laugh when he stood in his father's office.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" Donnie glanced at his son and looked back at the report on the screen. He smiled and said, "This Old Master Horn is still so angry. Looks like he wants to know that Maine once had an idea for his precious grandson. He might have already charged into the Alexandrian manor."
Diego heard this and said, "Father, should we tell Bescot this news? I think something interesting will happen. "
He looked as if he was afraid that the world would not be his match. Donnie shook his head and said, "Don't do anything unnecessary, Diego. You are very talented in the sequence, but in other aspects, you are too entangled in the end of the branch. Those who achieve great things should have a long-term vision, determine their goals, and stride forward. Don't waste time and energy on the dispensable scenery along the way. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything. "
Diego lowered his head and said, "I see, father."
Donnie reached out and slid the screen, and a video appeared in the window. In the scene, an elite squad was attacking a ground base. In less than a few minutes, the ground base was crippled and destroyed. Donnie smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's not a good thing to provoke Bescot."
This was a battle that took place two hours ago. The base was run by multiple local forces, but the real boss was Alexander. The squad that attacked the base just now was Bescot's Black Hawk Commandos. Because this base was involved in the manufacture of illegal airship components, Bescot put it on the hit list. However, the real reason for the attack, Donnie dared to bet that Horn knew who the real owner of the base was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried out such a thorough attack, and because of the illegality of the base, Maine could probably only swallow this mute loss.
There had been many similar attacks in the past two months. Apart from Alexander, there were also other clans that had been attacked. Without exception, these clans were hostile to Bescot. Horn made it clear that no matter who had plotted against Allen, he would simply cast a big net and kill the wrong fish rather than let it go.
However, the targets he chose were extremely meticulous. These bases were all engaged in illegal research or illegal manufacturing of restricted materials. Even though the families that were attacked knew that Bescot was deliberately attacking them, they could only endure it silently. After all, if they were to be pierced through, then they would be the ones who would suffer the most losses.
In fact, if one considered it from the perspective of the beneficiaries, the Grant Clan was the biggest suspect. However, Horn did not touch Grant's property, making the Grant Clan so eye-catching in this Bescot attack. People couldn't help but wonder if the two seemingly discordant clans had reached some kind of agreement. Of course, not to mention the agreement, Donnie didn't even see Horn.
However, the impact was real. In the past week, Grant's orders for the Magic Martial Factory had declined significantly. There were even some families that had cooperated with them who used various excuses to transfer their capital chains one after another. It was obvious that they were beginning to doubt the Grant Clan's position.
In this regard, Donnie only made a single stroke and did not take any measures to stop it. Because that would only increase the speculation of others, but he had no choice but to admire Horn. He was just putting on a show, but he quickly disintegrated the Grant Clan's alliance.
This old fox, Donnie couldn't help but think to himself.
In Horn's study, the video that Donnie saw was also played on the projection wall, but the angle was different. After watching the video, Horn said indifferently, "What has the Alexandrian Clan done recently?"
"No." Anna put her hands behind her back and said, "Maine is very calm and restrained. There were a few times when we obviously provoked him, but he didn't respond. "
"This is not like his style. The more Maine endured, the more it meant that this matter had to do with him. Even if he didn't plan it, he would still be involved! " Horn snorted, "This arrogant fellow thinks that he can challenge me, Bescot, with that little bit of weight. I just disdained to respond. I didn't expect him to take an inch and even harm Allen today. "
"If anything happens to Allen, I want Alexander to be completely removed from Babylon!"
The air in the study condensed, and even Anna found it difficult to breathe. After a while, Horn's aura slowly subsided, and Anna was able to say, "Unfortunately, we don't have any substantial evidence at the moment. On Rainbow Bridge, after Young Master Allen was attacked, there was news of several operators committing suicide. Moreover, the other party's reaction was very rapid. When we investigated their families, we found that their families had already disappeared from the world. "
"This can only mean that they had a premeditated plan. However, assuming that Maine is the mastermind, I'm curious how he bribed the people at the Rainbow Bridge workstation. Those people belong to the Federation and work in space for many years, and Maine has very few opportunities to come into contact with them. I don't think Maine is in direct contact with these people. "Horn said in a deep voice.
Anna frowned, "You mean there's a middleman in this, and it's someone from the Federation?"
"Only in this way can we explain how the mastermind behind the scenes got on the workstation. Or rather, the mastermind is not Maine, but someone from the Federation. "Horn tapped his finger on the table and said," Looks like I have to meet Alstair. "
"Have you found any clues about the warship deployment?" Horn asked again.
Because there was an outer space war weapon like a battleship in the airship that attacked Allen at that time. Bescot had investigated several black ship manufacturing giants on the ground. Although these giants' factories also produced weapons like battleships, based on their recent orders and the whereabouts of these battleships, none of them met the conditions for attacking the Dawn.
In the end, Horn suspected that if that person could use the warship, his position would definitely not be low. In this way, Horn could only act cautiously. He informed Windsor Bellow, who was far away at the interstellar defense line, and investigated from the inside through Marshal Greed's connections.
Anna said, "Marshal Greed hasn't sent any news back for the time being."
"That's normal. To be able to do this, that person definitely won't leave behind too many clues. Even if it's Windsor Bellow, it won't be easy to find out. " Horn said, "Continue with our previous arrangements and have Steward Helsing contact Alstair and have him arrange a time to meet me."
"Understood, Master." Anna nodded and left.
When Horn was the only one left in the study, he leaned back in his chair. Horn's gaze softened. He habitually touched his pocket, but the pocket watch that had accompanied him had already been given to Allen. Horn, who seemed to have aged in an instant, reached out to rub his eyebrows and murmured, "I'm sorry, Lanny. I actually let Allen encounter such danger, but I believe that Allen will definitely be fine. He has already survived so many crises, and this time will definitely not be an exception. "
"I believe he will come back!"
At this moment, Steward Helsing walked in and said, "Master, Lord Alstair has been contacted. He would like to invite you to lunch. "
Horn nodded and stood up. He opened his eyes and instantly lost all his fatigue, returning to his tough posture as the Patriarch.
"Prepare the car for me." Horn said indifferently.
