Wu Tianlin knelt on one knee and said respectfully, “My lord, if Margaret An doesn’t show up and there are no clues about the mysterious man, I suggest you fight to the death!”
“Hmm?” Victoria asked her, “Why do you say that?”
Wu Tianlin clenched his fists and raised them high, then said loudly, “Master Ying! I know Margaret An and Maria Lin might be holding the secret to making you immortal for a thousand years. I dare to say something that deserves the death penalty.
If Margaret An really delayed your immortality for a thousand years, why should you care about the four hundred years of Qing’s glory? It’s better to fight them to the death! Even if we really provoke those great powers, what’s the point? At worst, we can just abandon this base. With your strength, no one in this world can stop you from going wherever you want?”
Victoria stared at Wu Tianlin, a flash of surprise flashing through her eyes.
The Wu family had lived a good life for too long, and many people were afraid that they would act rashly and harm the entire Wu family.
Only Wu Tianlin meant that he might as well drag the entire Qing Society into the water.
This is what I want.
Victoria had long thought that since she couldn’t obtain the Baizhuan Qianhui Pill, her life expectancy would be only a few decades. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t find Maria Lin. Margaret An could escape, but she couldn’t.
If Margaret An never appeared again, what would happen if she killed her entire family? Even if the two great powers of the East and West wanted to join forces to eradicate the Warriors’ Den Society, what would happen?
When his life expectancy was almost over, he didn’t care anymore! If he was going to die, it would be better if he killed more people before he died!
So, he said to Wu Tianlin: “Tianlin, start adapting. I will wait for Margaret An for at most three more years. If she still doesn’t appear after three years, I will exterminate the An and Wade families, leaving no direct descendants!”
Wu Tianlin immediately said loudly: “I obey your orders!”
…
New Year’s Day.
Bernard Arnault took a seaplane to Male, the capital of the Maldives, in the morning, and then transferred to his private plane back to France.
Although Baima Island has returned to peace and quiet, the heated discussions in the outside world about Baima Island have not diminished in the slightest.
The world media is constantly reporting on various topics, and even many experts have come forward to analyze the situation in Syria and the role of the US government behind this issue.
The pressure on the Syrian opposition suddenly became enormous.
Although they all came from humble backgrounds or were even terrorists, the situation is different now. After the rebels seized power, they are no longer rebels, but regular troops.
The difference between the regular army and the rebels is that the regular army, once in control of the country, can no longer engage in guerrilla warfare at will. They must consider their own image to a certain extent, so they dare not continue attacking Hamid.
They could only announce to the outside world that Kenji Zhao of the Blackwater Company had deliberately framed them, and that they had a close relationship as comrades-in-arms with Hamid, and it was impossible for them to join forces with others to kill him.
But this claim is useless and almost no one will believe it.
After Blackwater removed their scapegoat, even though external doubts increased, rather than diminished, they still chose to play dumb. They knew full well that such a thing was inexplicable, and the more they explained, the more criticism they would receive.
The mainstream media in the United States has also been silent on this issue. America, which typically claims freedom of speech, only has a selective freedom. When it comes to certain groups, freedom of speech becomes a mere platitude.
However, European media have reported on this issue from time to time and intensively.
Media outlets in the UK, France, Germany, and Italy have launched open attacks on Blackwater, particularly the French media. These attacks, like New Year’s Day, have criticized Blackwater, dug up its past and shame, and portrayed Bernard Arnault as the world’s most courageous and responsible billionaire.
Today, the president will call on Bernard Ayrnault at the Elysee Palace. Although the meeting is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. local time, many European media outlets have already arrived at the Elysee Palace early in the morning to prepare.
The airport was incredibly busy.
To record Bernard Arno’s return live, each media outlet sent reporting teams, setting up cameras and long-barreled guns on the airport runway, waiting to welcome the French hero.
According to the French government’s plan, the Prime Minister would meet the President at the airport, so the Prime Minister arrived at the airport early to prepare to welcome Bernard Arnault at the airport.
To ensure the grandest possible welcome, France arranged for the airport to set up four remote parking areas. These four parking areas were used exclusively for Bernard Arnault’s private jet.
All invited media members waited across the parking lot for filming. After the plane landed, it taxied here so Bernard Arnault could disembark under the spotlights.
Bernard Arnault has not yet arrived at the airport, but his media friends have sent him photos of the scene via satellite.
When Bernard Arno saw the warm welcome he received, he couldn’t stop smiling with joy.
He couldn’t help but smile and sigh to his wife: “Wow, for decades I’ve been cursed as a cheater, but I never thought I’d become a hero!”
