Chapter 385: Sanctions from Continent F and Continent M

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The bald man had just received the news and immediately reported it to Alfredo. Everything happened so suddenly, catching them off guard.

“Rare earths? Ores? Are they trying to loot a burning house?” It was the first time Alfredo encountered such a situation since taking office, facing simultaneous sanctions against the Independent State from entire continents, which he found baffling.

“The rare earth mines in Continent M suddenly implemented limited sales a while ago. Many people suspected there was some issue with the mines. Now, cutting off cooperation with the Independent State raises suspicions that someone might be manipulating the situation intentionally.”

“As for the ores from Continent F, the control over the diamond and rare ore mines lies entirely in the hands of Continent F’s overlord. Like the rare earth mine owner in Continent M, their identities are shrouded in mystery.”

“What’s most incomprehensible is Continent M’s sudden halt of electronic data support, putting enormous pressure on our electronic database. We’ve experienced six hacking attempts within two hours. Chairman, when… when do we go back to handle this?”

The bald man looked at Alfredo with difficulty, knowing Alfredo didn’t want to return to the Independent State, even if the young Miss had attacked him; it couldn’t stop his desire to take her away.

“The people in the Independent State don’t know about my injury, right?” Alfredo’s main concern was minimizing the impact of his injury; he didn’t want the people from the Independent State to disturb Wen Xin’s life.

“Not yet, but I believe it won’t be a secret for long. After all, your safety is a significant concern for the Independent State. Someone will inevitably inform the elders’ council.”

“That would be your negligence!”

Alfredo’s gaze darkened as he looked at the bald man beside him, raising an eyebrow without saying anything, leaving him to interpret the meaning behind his words.

Understanding Alfredo’s implication, the bald man didn’t dare to say more, replying with determination, “Don’t worry, chairman. I’ll find a suitable excuse for your hand injury, ensuring no one learns of the Miss’s whereabouts.”

At that moment, the operating room door opened, and a team of chief surgeons walked out. The bald man glanced towards the operating room, noticing Ou Shenzhi inquiring about Wei Shisheng’s condition.

Turning back to Alfredo, whose expression was calm, the bald man remarked, “The young master of the Ou family is truly devoted to Wei Shisheng. Despite being thoroughly rejected, he hasn’t given up.”

Hearing the bald man’s words, Alfredo shifted his gaze from the tablet, looking in Ou Shenzhi’s direction.

“Honestly, this man is quite outstanding in the capital. If he genuinely wants to be with Wei Shisheng, why not give him a chance?”

“Do you mean to agree to cooperate with the Ou family?”

The bald man couldn’t grasp his master’s thoughts. Since Wei Shisheng liked Mu Chengxi, why not let her pursue Mu Chengxi? That way, the lady could return to the Independent State and accept the marriage agreement.

Why would they facilitate Wei Shishengs relationship with Ou Shenzhi?

Thinking this, he also naturally voiced his confusion, somewhat unclear about why this was the chosen approach.

“Chairman, wouldn’t it be best to let Miss Wei pursue Mu Chengxi? Why…”

“Don’t cause her trouble. I want her to willingly return to the Independent State with me, not to be disgusted by the others. Wei Shisheng is not even on the same level as her. If Wei Shisheng were to compete with her, Wei Shisheng would only die faster, standing no chance at all.”

It seemed Alfredo had already foreseen the outcome of a conflict between Wei Shisheng and Wen Xin; Wei Shisheng would meet a terrible end.

“Sir, Miss Wei’s shoulder condition is not optimistic. It’s a second injury to her shoulder, and the damage is severe. Although the surgery was successful, she will only recover enough to perform basic self-care, unable to do any precise tasks or lift heavy objects.”

After explaining Wei Shisheng’s condition to Ou Shenzhi, the doctor approached Alfredo to discuss her prognosis.

Hearing about Wei Shisheng’s condition, Alfredo wasn’t too surprised, as if he had anticipated such an outcome.

“Alright, I’m aware of her condition now. Thank you for your efforts.”

Alfredo stood up to politely thank the doctor, then approached Ou Shenzhi.

“This situation is the result of Wei Shisheng’s own doing. I had already arranged for her to be removed from the venue; I don’t know why she came back and even tried to kill Wen Xin with a knife. I threw the knife in her shoulder.”

“You also heard it’s a second injury, meaning she fell herself, causing severe damage. So, I hope you don’t direct your anger at anyone else or don’t blame me for being unfriendly!”

This was the first time Alfredo had spoken so much to an outsider. He blamed everything that had happened in the banquet hall on himself, hoping to shield Wen Xin from any trouble.

Ou Shenzhi looked at Alfredo with his crimson eyes, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, suppressing the urge to act, speaking in a lowered voice, “You’re her brother; why are you favoring an outsider? Do you know? She was happy to know her identity, saying she was no longer just an adopted daughter living under others’ roofs. She had a noble identity, but what did you do? You gave her hope and then destroyed it. If that’s the case, I wish you hadn’t acknowledged her.”

“Wen Xin is Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend, which was already a heavy blow to her. Now, for Wen Xin, are you going to abandon her too? Don’t you know she’s your sister?”

Ou Shenzhi’s anger almost overwhelmed his reason; he had thought that, as a brother, he would not let anyone who hurt his sister off the hook, but this was entirely different from what he expected.

Alfredo handed his tablet to the bald man, his hands in his pockets, standing straight, smirking coldly at Ou Shenzhi.

“Are all the foolish things she did insignificant in your eyes? Today, I finally understand why the young masters of the major families in the capital don’t associate with you; your values are indeed different from theirs.”

“Firstly, let me emphasize: although she is my second uncle’s daughter, she is just an illegitimate daughter, and my family will not acknowledge her. Even if she wants to acknowledge kinship, it’s only with my uncle, nothing to do with me.”

“Also, regarding Wen Xin, no matter whose girlfriend she is, she is the most precious person in my eyes. Remember, if you dare lay a hand on Wen, I can assure you, not even your grandfather can save you..”
