"But we don't need Martinez to believe us. We just need to make others believe that we were forced by Domenech and Bernardo, and that we are victims too! With such a reasonable excuse and the power of the Da Silva family, even if Martinez were to file a lawsuit in the Court of Noble Honor and ask the Empire to put us on the wanted list, the judge would not agree to his request! "
"Jack Ferguson, don't you know that you've already lost? We can't stay in the Ferguson Family any longer! Martinez's opinion doesn't matter anymore. We need to ensure our future! "Eugenia said coldly.
His wife's words had awakened Jack Ferguson from his stupor, and had given him a glimmer of hope for the future, who had yet to walk out of the failed armed rebellion!
Thinking that even if he failed now, he still had so much money to squander and enjoy, Jack Ferguson immediately regained his spirit. He rubbed his face with both hands and immediately started to get busy with Eugenia, preparing to leave Ferguson Manor quietly.
… ….
… ….
When Jack Ferguson and Eugenia were about to leave the Ferguson Family's manor, Domenech Ferguson, the mastermind of this armed rebellion, didn't run away in a hurry like Jack Ferguson and Eugenia did. Instead, he appeared in front of the family library in the middle of the manor.
Domenech looked as calm as usual with a crossguard sword in his hand and a revolver on his waist. However, with a closer look, one would notice a hint of loneliness on his face. There was also a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes as he stared at the family library.
Even though Domenech was born in a collateral branch of the Ferguson Family, he had proved his worth to the Ferguson Family with his own efforts and became one of the founding members of the Ferguson Family. He knew a lot about the secrets of the Ferguson Family. Among all the secrets, Jon Ferguson, a former grand knight of the Ferguson Family, became the keeper of the family library, which was what Domenech was most interested in.
Domenech was afraid of Butler Martinez, who was the guardian of the family's order, and Jon Ferguson, who was the guardian of the family's library. Even though he really wanted the secret information in the library, he didn't dare to do anything rash. Instead, he hid his desire and waited for the right time.
Domenech brought the men in black into Ferguson's Manor. Although he could take down the library at any time, he was worried that Butler Martinez would be alerted. Therefore, he didn't do anything and waited for Butler Martinez to step into the trap.
In Domenech's plan, as long as he killed Butler Martinez, who was the pillar of the Ferguson Family, he could turn Jack Ferguson into his puppet and help him take over the family. By then, Domenech would only be a founding member of the Ferguson Family in name, but in reality, he would be the master of the Ferguson Family.
This way, Domenech could ignore the rule that only the leader of the Ferguson Family and the first in line of succession could read the secret documents of the Ferguson Family. Instead, he could casually flip through the secret documents of the Ferguson Family that he wanted to become a wizard.
Although Domenech's idea was good, the reality was cruel. Domenech could have killed Butler Martinez as soon as he entered the Ferguson Manor, but to be safe, Domenech decided to wait until Butler Martinez arrived at the location of the ambush. Unfortunately, Domenech was patient, but the experienced Butler Martinez still sensed danger and escaped.
From that moment on, Domenech, who was very confident about his plan with the help of Bernardo, Jack Ferguson, and other influential forces, soon activated Plan B. He sent out all the men in black who were hiding in Ferguson's manor to block all the entrances and exits of Ferguson's manor as soon as possible. At the same time, he started to search Ferguson's manor, but somehow, he had a premonition that something bad might happen. It seemed that his plan was foolproof, but the result might not be what he wanted.
A self-mocking smile appeared on Domenech's old face. His premonitions were always wrong when he was young, and he didn't expect that his premonitions would be so accurate in the most important thing in his life. The armed rebellion that he planned with all his heart and soul still ended up in the hands of Martinez.
It took about one and a half to two hours to travel from the Ferguson Family's manor to the downtown of Flosinone by horse carriage. In addition, Butler Martinez had to go through all kinds of procedures and ask for help from the local garrison in Flosinone. It would take at least an hour, which meant that there were still two and a half hours before Butler Martinez asked for help from the local garrison in Flosinone.
For Domenech, these two and a half hours were very precious. During these two and a half hours, he was free and safe. He could do a lot of things, such as putting on a disguise and sneaking out of Ferguson Manor. After two and a half hours, as a retired major general of the Kaman Empire, he would be wanted by the entire Kaman Empire. If he was caught, although he could avoid going to the gallows due to his identity as a major general of the Kaman Empire, he would have to drink a glass of poisoned wine.
If Domenech wanted to, he could prepare a fake ID and disguise himself before heading to the train station in Flosinone. From there, he could take the train to the Odin Empire and live as a fugitive for the rest of his life.
