Chapter 1269 My Son, You Must Die
Henry Hamilton laughed heartily and gave Da Bao a big hug, then whispered something.
“I heard you want to buy HSBC stock? We, the Bank of New York, own eight percent of their shares. I’ll make the decision to sell it to you at eighty percent of the market price, my friend.”
Upon hearing this, Da Bao was overjoyed; this was an unexpected bonus.
This entire treasure belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, which will deposit the money into the accounts of the individuals according to their individual distribution plans. This saves Da Bao a lot of trouble.
Da Bao and his friends wanted to go to France, but they couldn't go by warship. If they did, it would be considered either a visit or an invasion. They had to go to a port in Denmark first and then take a ship to France...
……
At the García estate in Spain, Murdoch and Locke knelt before their father, Duke James García, and recounted everything that had happened. They would not hide anything, nor dared to hide anything; they could only tell the whole story.
James listened with his eyes closed to his two sons' account of what had happened. He then beckoned with his finger, and the butler immediately ran over and respectfully asked what had happened.
"Master, what are your orders?"
James said a few words in a low voice, and the old butler bowed and left the living room.
"Locke, what kind of person do you think this Easterner is?"
Locke hesitated for a moment,
"Father, after spending these past few days with him, I've discovered that he's an extremely cunning person. Every step he took, every action he took, and every word he uttered seemed absurd at the time, but in reality, they were all traps he had dug beforehand."
They were just waiting for fools like us to jump in. For two whole hours, Murdoch and I didn't win a single game. Father, although we're not the heirs to the family fortune, we still want to do our best for the family.
For the past two years, we've been traveling to casinos all over the world, honing our card skills. Especially in the last six months, we haven't lost a single card. But my father, that guy seems to be able to read the cards. He calls when he should and folds when he shouldn't. He hasn't lost a single card from start to finish.
James nodded slightly. Murdoch was always impatient, but he was lucky and listened to his brother, whom he shared the same parents with.
If Locke hadn't been born to a maid, with his intelligence and composure, he would have been the best heir to the family. Unfortunately, nobles value bloodlines, and these two sons were destined to be marginalized. Now, they've even squandered the family fortune, so they absolutely cannot be allowed to live any longer.
At that moment, the butler strode in carrying a tray with three glasses of red wine. James took one first, and Murdoch and Locke also took one.
He leaned back on the armrest of his chair, swirling the red wine in his hand, and said casually.
"Drink it, then go back and get some rest."
Murdoch, holding his wine glass, was completely unaware that Locke beside him was trembling and drenched in cold sweat.
Murdoch smiled and was about to drink when Locke's voice trembled so much it was almost inaudible. He stared intently at James and asked.
"Father, why is this happening? Is it really for such a small amount of money that you're willing to kill us both?"
"what?"
Murdoch wasn't stupid; with a flick of his wrist, the red wine spilled from the glass.
"Locke, are you saying this wine is poisoned?"
James remained unmoved, slowly sipping his red wine. He truly admired Locke's son, but unfortunately, they were all going to die today no matter what.
James said calmly.
"Locke, how did you know the wine was poisoned?"
Locke was pale, and he gave a bitter laugh.
“Father, when I was seven years old, I saw you sitting here with my own eyes. Uncle Viking drank a glass of red wine that you gave him, and then he bled from all seven orifices and died. Your expression then was exactly the same as it is now. I will never forget it.”
James handed the glass back to the butler, then clapped his hands and stood up.
"Not bad, not bad at all. You just asked me why? That you'd risk your lives for such a small amount of money? Let me tell you why. Five hours ago, the Kingdom of Denmark issued a proclamation granting Charlotte Qin the title of Duke and making her the Honorary Grand Master of the Royal Knights."
The Grand Duke of Luxembourg personally sent a congratulatory telegram, and Bank of New York listed Charlotte Qin as its most distinguished client, issuing her a black card with the highest credit limit—did you know that? Even presidents don't have such a black card; those who possess it are heads of the world's top families.
You have offended someone I have to look up to. If such a person wanted to seize our family's assets, he only needed to use your bet to bankrupt our family.
But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that you two dared to act like scoundrels in front of so many European nobles and wealthy people, ruthlessly trampling on the face of our Garcia family. That's what I can't tolerate. For the glory of the family, you must wash this away with your blood.
"I originally thought you were my sons, and I wanted you to die without pain. But Locke, you are too clever. As an old family, we can't have someone as clever as you. Your cleverness will inflate your ambition, and one day you will drag the entire family into an endless abyss..."
Murdoch and Locke were both deathly pale. They watched James's retreating figure, opening their mouths to call out "Father," but the butler grinned maliciously and waved his hand dismissively.
Six bodyguards rushed in and pounced on Murdoch and Locke...
……
Da Bao, Arthur, Desley, Susanna, and Henry Hamilton boarded a cruise ship bound for France. Filda and Vitesse remained in Denmark. They specially selected a luxury cruise ship, booked all the first-class cabins, and personally saw Da Bao and the others off before reluctantly departing.
The cruise ship set sail, and they sat leisurely in the luxurious restaurant, eating top-quality steak and drinking red wine. Da Bao really couldn't get used to this kind of food, so he asked Uncle Qing to make him a plate of fried rice with eggs. However, he only ate a few bites before Arthur and the others snatched it all up.
Seven days later, they arrived in Marseille, France's largest port. Marseille, with a history spanning over 2,700 years, is the largest port city in southern France, known as the "Port of Sunshine" and a city steeped in history.
Da Bao and the others need to stay here for two days. After Zuo Mingyue and the others arrive, they will go shopping in Paris. The fashion, jewelry, and perfumes there are the best in the world. Arthur and Desley have been to France countless times. Even all of Susanna's clothes were purchased in Paris, France.
Da Bao never went abroad in his past life. Now that he's in France, he wants to see the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, where that old lady lives...
