YM778.TV Chapter 407 Confused
Inside the castle, a group of people gathered, from the old to the young. One of them was Logan, accompanied by an old woman of the same age as him.
It was just that, although Logan was a successful politician, in that hall his status didn\'t seem to be that significant, evident from the sofa he was sitting on being slightly off to the side.
On the other couches were quite a few people with statuses that seemed stronger than his.
Some of them were bosses from major European banks.
They were members of the Armstrong Family, and their family did own most of the banks so they could claim to be the masters of the economy.
If they wanted to, they could easily create a crisis, just by creating a little chaos in their banks.
In fact, it is very rare for them to get together, sometimes they don\'t even get together at all in a year, only communicating by phone.
Now, however, they were interrupted by a Magus who seemed to be starting a new power.
With various experiences facing enemies, they always try to organize a good strategy so that they can survive and win.
It\'s just that, over time, their expressions have become rather unpleasant.
"What\'s going on? Why did they come out? What is Benjamin doing?" They wondered when they saw the news about Isabel coming out of the Customs and Immigration office.
One of them then contacted Benjamin, another contacted the Evolvers.
Unfortunately, the result made their expressions very gloomy as all the phone numbers they called were inactive.
What does this mean?
"Something bad has happened?" said one of them, a middle-aged man who had entered an old age where his hair had started to turn gray.
He stared at the main sofa where a very old man sat.
He gave the impression of being over 100 years old. His skin was already wrinkled and his hair was full of foxes.
He could also be said to be almost bald as he had too little hair left.
Alexander Armstrong was his name and he was the head of the family.
Even though he didn\'t build the family, in fact the family was already very strong before he became the head of the family, he is still highly respected for his ability to maintain the glory in the changing times.
Now the situation was a bit confusing, so people needed to ask his opinion first. After all, the others didn\'t really understand about magic, they only understood about money.
Only, before he could say anything, Logan was suddenly startled.
"Damn," he said in a voice loud enough to even drop his cell phone.
People instantly stared at him, frowning and feeling a bad feeling at the same time.
"What happened?" asked Logan\'s wife in an angry tone.
She was annoyed at the commotion he had created.
She then took Logan\'s cell phone. However, it made her show the same reaction.
"How is that possible? You asked a businessman for 1 million euros after helping him get out of legal trouble?" the woman said.
Two things surprised her. Besides the evidence that her husband took bribes, it was also the fact that he took bribes while his wife was one of the richest family members.
In this family, even if they become bad officials when they have a position in the government, they will not do things like taking bribes for money because they already have too much money. Instead, they are the ones who bribe people.
Actually, Logan took the bribe because the money his wife gave him was too little while he also needed money to have fun.
The rest of the Armstrong Family didn\'t think much of it, they were more interested in the evidence of the bribe because it meant there was something else going on.
Sure enough, several people suddenly received messages from officials they were in contact with.
They all said the same thing; that they couldn\'t attack Isabel now that evidence of their corruption had been discovered.
"How is that possible? How did Isabel set all this up?" One by one, the Armstrong family members began to show expressions of disbelief.
They were astonished that in just an instant, Isabel had won the battle against them.
Of course, they had also prepared such a thing to threaten the people who supported Isabel so that they could keep quiet as the bad news about Isabel spread.
However, it was useless if they couldn\'t attack Isabel first.
At this moment, Alexander Armstrong wrinkled his forehead, seemingly in thought.
His old age did not make him lose his cool quickly.
For him now was not about attacking Isabel anymore, but preparing the next defense plan so that they could still stand in Europe.
That the enemy was stronger was something he had not predicted, but those who were stronger were not always the winners. His family could still win just by defending.
Arthur knew nothing about what happened inside the castle, but it wasn\'t something he didn\'t predict.
At least it was similar to what he imagined.
At this moment, he stopped not far from the castle, but was still flying high in the air.
He was making observations, trying to find out if there was anything hidden.
Santiago did the same. The old man even closed his eyes.
Unfortunately, he didn\'t seem to get any results at all.
"Strange, I don\'t feel any spiritual power here at all," he said as he looked at Arthur with an expression as if asking if he felt it.
He saw Arthur narrow his eyes and knit his brows, he also seemed to be in deep thought so Santiago didn\'t dare disturb him.
"Let\'s go down," Arthur said suddenly before moving down to the castle\'s backyard.
Since he no longer seemed focused, Santiago finally asked, "boss, do you feel anything?"
"No, but I\'m suspicious of the ground here," Arthur replied.
"The ground?" Santiago spontaneously looked down even though it only made him very confused.
He wasn\'t sure what was on the ground.
Moments later, they landed in an area full of trees, almost like a small forest.
Next to it, there was a large swimming pool.
And it wasn\'t empty, there were youngsters bathing there, ranging in age from 12 to 18.
They were obviously the children of the Armstrong Family who weren\'t really involved in the big stuff yet.
It\'s just that, even though they are so young, the things they talk about sound big.
They are basically already quite pragmatic by nature, even playing tricks to be the winner in doing things.
Overall, they were similar to the ones Rebecca talked about where their family\'s children grew up with an education to rule the world.
However, that doesn\'t mean they\'re all just ordinary people despite their youth.
There were several Evolvers, and Arthur found one that seemed to be very powerful.
She was a woman around the same age as him, with a pretty face with a hint of redness, shoulder-length hair in a middle parting style, wearing a short black skirt and a cream-colored winter T-shirt.
Her eyes were purple which was a rare type of eye in Europe, but Arthur who had sharp eyesight could feel the power of lightning gathering around her eyes thus changing the color of those eyes.
Unlike the others, she was not bathing. She was standing casually beside the pool while filming some birds with her cell phone.
Her expression was so calm that it gave the impression of grace and maturity.
Crack!
And suddenly, Santiago stepped on a twig, producing a grunt that wasn\'t actually loud, but was heard by the woman quite clearly due to her keen sense of hearing.
She immediately stared at the tree-filled direction, frowning suspiciously.
Although the sound of a twig breaking was very common in such an area, but the woman seemed to feel something was off.
"What the hell is that little girl?" Santiago was astonished by her gaze that seemed to be fixed on him even though it was difficult for her to see there because there were many obstructions that made light unable to enter.
From there it was easy to see outside, but not the other way around.
"She\'s an Evolver, be careful where you walk," Arthur said, admonishing her.
The old man didn\'t really know much about Evolvers so Arthur told him.
And it seemed that he didn\'t really care about them at all since he knew that the Evolvers\' strength wouldn\'t reach the same level as his.
Right after that, the woman suddenly walked into the area full of trees. She seemed to be unable to resist curiosity.
"Jane, what are you doing there?" A man called out to her as he looked where she had gone.
"Just checking something," Jane replied calmly.
She continued walking and entered the area.
At this point, Arthur had no other choice but to hide as he still didn\'t want to be discovered.
He pulled Santiago\'s hand to the side of a large tree while the tree split, creating a space inside.
He and Santiago entered the space while the tree closed again.
