Chapter 1195: Smash! Smash! Smash!

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Although Erte didn’t think highly of Phelps, the Gaia Group, which was a sizable asset, was in Phelps’s hands. Furthermore, the current Gaia Group was an important bargaining chip at the negotiation table!

As long as they cooperated with the other countries and successfully put pressure on China, and as long as China silently agreed and didn’t pursue the matter, then the other countries would follow suit. When the time came, they would move like a pack of wolves, and everyone would benefit.

This was going to be a grand banquet. As long as he succeeded, he would definitely be the next family head of the Rosius, so he couldn’t allow anyone to spoil his plans.

As soon as he hung up the phone, his girlfriend exclaimed. “Erte, look! Something happened!”

Erte looked up at the television. It was airing a live broadcast. On it was a police car that had been overturned. Two policemen crawled out of the police car with great difficulty before they fainted. Then, a white-robed monk walked out from the back seat. He wasn’t injured at all as he smiled at everyone.

But when he smiled, the water hose beside him burst apart!

The cameraman who was recording this live suddenly exclaimed. He quickly dodged, but the huge billboard above his head fell to the ground and almost hit him!

The scene was chaotic…

Erte opened his mouth and suddenly realized that things seemed to be getting out of hand.

Erte quickly returned to Italy and headed straight for the Rosius’ headquarters. As soon as he entered, he was told to head to the conference room for a meeting.

The location of the Rosius’ headquarters wasn’t the typical villa, but an enormous castle. It was said that it was the residence of a former count. After the count moved, it had been taken over by the Rosius, becoming the headquarters of the family.

Walking into the conference room, there was a huge stone table. Dozens of people sat around it.

The family head sat at the seat of honor. The others sat in seats according to their seniority and power.

Erte glanced at the spot one level higher than his seat where a man with a flattop wearing casual clothes sat. This was also the only man in a casual outfit attending the meeting. He was the brother he hated the most, Matthew!

Erte came in and greeted everyone before sitting down at his own seat. He was also a little confused. What exactly was the family’s sudden meeting about?

Only when Erte sat down did the Rosius family head, Rosius say, “Erte, you came at the right time. How’s the progress on your side?”

Erte said, “The situation is a little complicated…”

Rosius said, “No matter how complicated it is, your mission is to control Fangzheng. Now, we have received the support of many countries. As long as we succeed, we will be equivalent to pioneers. If we can succeed, it will mean they too can succeed. That is why this is a grand banquet. We can’t allow any unforeseen circumstances.”

Erte wanted to mention the two Fangzhengs, but once he saw the scene in front of him, he was likely to be treated as an incompetent representative if he did. He didn’t wish to be defeated by Matthew, so he chose to remain silent. At the same time, he thought to himself, “Regardless of whether it’s one Fangzheng, two Fangzhengs, or a group of Fangzhengs, this is my territory! Even if he’s really a devil or demon, I have to defeat him.”

Rosius asked Matthew, “Matthew, what’s your take on the matter?”

Matthew pursed his lips and said, “Although we are a juggernaut in the pharmaceutical industry, it’s only right to admit defeat in this situation. We might as well share the knowledge with others. Using underhanded tactics to scam others is an insult to our ancestor’s honor. I have nothing much to say about it. If I were in charge, I would definitely apologize immediately and return the formula.”

“Matthew, you have to understand what you are saying! Doing that would be equivalent to announcing to the entire world that us Rosius are thieves!” an old man said angrily.

Matthew said with respect, “Uncle Taylor, you’re right. We should admit to the whole world that we are thieves, thieves who are sincerely willing to turn over a new leaf. We shouldn’t deny being thieves when everyone in the world knows that we are. To even try to maintain a good name for ourselves… Oh, to use a Chinese saying, we not only want to be a whore, but we want to maintain a good name at the same time. That’s truly humiliating the entire family.”

“Matthew!” Taylor was enraged. “Do you know what interests are at stake?”

Matthew shook his head and said, “I only know that we are an ancient family. Our family’s inheritance depends on the honor of the nobles, the sense of responsibility of the nobles, the moral integrity of the nobles, and not the interests of the nobles! The interests you speak of are things that businessmen care about. Furthermore, even businessmen care about how they obtain their wealth. A businessman who plunders wealth through immoral means is despicable!”

Taylor was so angry that his face flushed red. The others also had ugly expressions on their faces. Only the family head, Rosius, remained silent. He narrowed his eyes; his thoughts a mystery.

When Erte saw this, he pursed his lips and smiled. This was the outcome he wanted to see—Matthew being rejected by everyone. What right did he have to vie for the position of family head with him? As long as he took care of Fangzheng, everything would be his.

In the end, Rosius asked Matthew to stop speaking, and even Erte was made to stay silent. Only Rosius, his three uncles, and some other collateral relatives were in discussion. Even their eldest uncle, Bonart, had his eyes closed the entire time. He did not say a word, as if he did not know anything. Yet, he also seemed to know everything, but he did not care.

The meeting quickly ended, and Erte did not have the time to argue with Matthew. He was in a hurry to resolve the problem with Fangzheng.

But how was he to deal with it? That was a good question.

When Erte arrived in the city and found Fangzheng, he was completely dumbfounded.

Fangzheng was sitting on the curb of the road as he looked innocently at the police who had surrounded him. The policemen had drawn their guns, staring nervously at Fangzheng.

Fangzheng spread out his hands and said, “Everyone, what are you doing? You want to arrest me? Alright, go ahead. I will definitely not resist arrest.”

However, the police didn’t seem to have any intention of arresting him. The leading officer kept making phone calls and shouting. “You’re not accepting him? What do we do then? Do we just let him sit here?”

“Oh my god, what are we going to do? We have him in control and have him arrested, but we have nowhere to send him to?”

“Sh*t! The phone’s broken! Who still has a cell phone?” The police officer angrily and helplessly threw the phone on the ground.

Another policeman said bitterly, “Sir, we’ve already lent you all our phones. They’re all broken. You’ve smashed them all.”

The officer was taken aback when he heard that. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “You can’t blame me for that. The cell phones were broken.”

The policeman said, “We understand. But now that there aren’t any more phones, do you think it’s time to use your own phone?”

The officer was taken aback. Then, he took out his phone and said awkwardly, “I forgot that I had one too…”

All the police officers rolled their eyes.
