"Mr. Lu, I am absolutely certain that you did this on purpose!"

Krein gritted his teeth and said.

"I slapped myself because I wanted to prove my sincerity, but that's no reason for you to humiliate me!"

"But...don't you want to prove your loyalty to the family?"

Lu Feng suddenly spoke, interrupting his impassioned speech.

“Mr. Crane, I don’t think you made the decision to attack me on your own, right? Otherwise, your family would probably have already pushed you out as a scapegoat.”

“But even if you’re not the mastermind behind this, you’re still at risk.”

“You are from a noble family, you should know that those in power only care about the interests of their own family. If they push you out to take the hits, they can help the Evan family get through this crisis.”

Do you think Elder Holt would do that?

Lu Feng's words struck Klein's mind like a bolt of lightning.

Yes, why didn't he think of that?

Given Chief Holt's ruthless methods, if sacrificing himself could ensure the safety of the entire Evan family, he would certainly not hesitate.

So, I should thank him?

Klein's facial expression was even more fascinating than a face-changing act.

"It seems you've figured it out, Mr. Crain. I'm not insulting you; I'm saving you!"

Lu Feng continued:

"Think about it, someone of your high status has sacrificed your reputation for the sake of the family. Under these circumstances, shouldn't the Evan family think twice before abandoning you?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Crane on the shoulder, as if to say, "I did all this for your sake."

So, under his constant persuasion, Klein ended up slapping himself more than a dozen times, and this time, Lu Feng recorded it from beginning to end.

It's still the 4K high-definition version.

After doing all this, Lu Feng finally agreed to be released from the detention cell.

Of course, anyone who thinks that Lu Feng has simply forgiven the Evan family and Klein would be sorely mistaken.

The reason he agreed to come out so readily was actually to make plans for the next step.

Although being in the detention cell didn't stop him from remotely controlling the outside world, it was still not as comfortable inside as outside.

Most importantly, he couldn't wait to experience that special enhancement potion.

After leaving the detention cell, Lu Feng immediately dialed Kaiserwell's number.

What he did next was rather crazy, so he needed someone to cover for him.

The powerful Caesar family was naturally his first choice.

Inside the Caesars Hotel.

Will hung up the phone with a heavy expression.

But Lu Feng's words still echoed in his mind.

“Mr. Will, this is a high-stakes gamble. If you are willing to help me, we can form a defensive alliance.”

"At that time, your chances of becoming the head of the Caesar family will increase significantly, if not absolutely certain."

"This is risky, but the profits are high. Think it over carefully!"

He turned off his phone, lit a cigar, took several deep drags, and then began to consider the pros and cons of the matter.

In fact, under normal circumstances, he would have left after attending the banquet, since this was not the Caesar family's headquarters.

However, just as he was about to leave, he encountered the bizarre explosion over the Evan family's house, the martial law in New Gold Mountain, and the terrorist attack.

His intuition told him that something big must be happening, which is why he had stayed until now.

Now, Lu Feng's phone call proved his intuition right: something big was really happening at New Gold Mountain, and it was something unprecedented.

"Mr. Lu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're the kind of person who never suffers a loss, no matter where you go!"

"But should I help you or not?"

Will fell into deep thought; he had been pondering this question ever since Lu Feng entered the United States.

Time passed by, and after about ten minutes, the cigar in his hand burned out, and he finally made up his mind.

"Come on, everyone has to take a gamble. I want to see what surprises this aid will bring me in the future."

.........

Thus, this equally ambitious figure chose to get involved in the conflict.

And it was because of his help that Lu Feng completely disappeared from New Gold Mountain after leaving the police station.

Time slips away quietly, and another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire planet Earth was in an uproar that day.

Because that ancient country in the East formally used its Ministry of Foreign Affairs to exert diplomatic pressure on the United States, demanding that it release its merchants as soon as possible.

The news immediately attracted global attention.

It should be noted that since the rise of the United States, only two countries on the entire planet have dared to confront it head-on, one of which is that ancient Eastern country.

In an instant, a storm was brewing, and many forces were eagerly anticipating what kind of sparks would fly next.

The Evan family's headquarters.

Inside the study, Holt once again saw off the officials sent by the United States.

After the person left, the legendary figure's inner turmoil vanished completely, replaced by a decisiveness.

Yesterday, when the official first came to ask the Evan family to deal with Klein, the "culprit," he was still thinking of trying to smooth things over.

Let's see if we can save Klein's life, even if it comes at a price.

After all, he had watched Krein grow up, and both his methods and his character and shrewdness were more than enough to make him the next patriarch of the Evan family.

He's getting old and needs to think about the future of the Evan family.

Therefore, if Klein can be saved, he must be saved.

However, with that ancient Eastern country officially intervening this morning, he knew that he couldn't save Krein no matter what.

"Sigh...maybe I shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place!"

He sighed deeply, his aged right hand hovering above the communication bell. After hesitating for a long time, he finally pressed it:

"Bring Dix over, and while you're at it, call Krein over too!"

As the voice faded, footsteps outside the study gradually disappeared into the distance.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and the first person to enter was a rather thin man with an ordinary appearance.

"Lord Patriarch!"

The man approached Holt, bowed slightly, and then stood there without saying a word.

And he was Dix, the leader of the assassins secretly trained by the Evan family, a group that directly obeyed the patriarch.

They will not be mobilized unless absolutely necessary.

A while later, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Holt said in a deep voice, his hands on his lap trembling slightly.

"Crack!"

The door opened with a click, and Krein walked in.

"Chieftain..."
