“Did charlie really defeat the Banks family and Wanlong Pce?!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhidong eximed in disbelief, “Miss, this… it sounds a bit far-fetched. The Banks family is stronger than the Wade family, and Wanlong Pce’s power goes beyond mere finances. They have tens of thousands of mercenaries and have even established a permanent base in the Middle East. How could charlie possibly conquer such a formidable organization?”
Lin Wan’er (ni) replied calmly, “charlie’s abilities far exceed those of Wanlong Pce. If that weren’t the case, when the Banks family and Wanlong Pce teamed up at Yeling Mountain, they would have ensured charlie’s defeat. While we may not know all that transpired on the mountain, the oue clearly shows that charlie emerged unscathed, proving that both the Banks family and Wanlong Pce faced aplete failure that day.” After a brief pause, Lin Wan’er (ni) continued, “As I mentioned earlier, charlie views Po Qinghui (Benn) as his true enemy. He shares a deep-seated vendetta against Po Qinghui (Benn), but he is significantly stronger than I am. While I am still pursuing Po Qinghui (Benn) in the Middle East, he has already initiated a covert assault on the Poqing Society. Given this, how could Wanlong Pce possibly stand in his way? If he wanted to, he could easily eliminate the leader of Wanlong Pce right there on Yeling Mountain!”<fn38d5> Fresh chapters posted on Find_Novel(.</fn38d5>
Sun Zhidong contemted this for a moment, then furrowed his brow and said, “So, the rumors circting about the Wade family relinquishing half of their assets to Wanlong Pce are actually a ruse orchestrated by the Wade family!”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded and replied earnestly, “To be precise, it’s a smokescreen created by charlie!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“Are there any special updates or changes?”
“Changes?” The two exchanged nces, and Qiu Yingshan remarked, “I don’t have much insight into the Banks family’s situation, but I have heard about Wanlong Pce. Looking at their operations in Syria, they have be quite aggressive, forming a partnership with Ysu Shipping to dominate armed escort services in the Gulf of Aden. They’ve even taken down a pirate organization, instilling fear among pirates in the region. As long as merchant ships are escorted by Wanlong Pce’s armed forces, no pirate would dare to approach.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) agreed, “This shift in strategy is noteworthy, and it seems likely that there’s expert guidance behind it.”
Sun Zhidong reflected for a moment and said, “It’s odd, though. The news about the Banks family and Wanlong Pce’s victory on Yeling Mountain came out, yet shortly after, the Banks family went quiet. Some specte they made a fortune quietly, but I can’t shake the feeling that they had been quite boastful before their encounter at Yeling Mountain. It makes no sense for them to suddenly retreat into silence after a victory. If they had truly profited, it would seem like stealing the bell while covering one’s ears. This has always puzzled me. Moreover, the Banks family quickly appointed a new head of the family—Lord Banks stepped down and passed the leadership to his eldest granddaughter, Zara Banks.”
“Passed it to his eldest granddaughter?” Lin Wan’er (ni) echoed, a puzzled look on her face. “Why would they choose a grandchild from the next generation instead of a son? Shouldn’t the position go to one of the sons?”
As she spoke, Lin Wan’er (ni) turned to Sun Zhidong and inquired, “Could it be that the Banks family has very few heirs? Surely there will be more grandchildren in the future…”
“Interesting…” Lin Wan’er (ni) frowned again. “Considering they have five sons, why would they pass the headship directly to the eldest granddaughter? Not only is she a girl, but by bypassing his sons entirely, it could easily provoke discontent among them. Even Zara Banks’s own father would likely be unwilling to ept being overlooked in such a manner.”
