Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman - Chapter 336

At the zoo of the capital country in America, a black limousine appeared about twenty meters outside the entrance.

There was no symbol or mark on the car, but it had a strange license plate. People who were walking into the zoo couldn’t help but stop and look at the vehicle, though no one dared to get too close. Though there wasn’t any symbol on the car to indicate which family it belonged to, it was obviously low-key luxurious. There were also two men in black clothes standing at each side, and they had a calm and somewhat intimidating aura, like a sword about to be unsheathed. Ordinary people could feel the chill creep up their spine from fear, and didn’t dare to approach them.

In the car passenger seat, the leader of the power world of America was sitting in it. He gave a cautious glance to the man in the back seat that exuded a chilling aura. “You said that a problem will arise here, Mr. Jiang?”

Jiang Shuxuan fiddled with a compass in his hand, raising his head to look in the direction of the zoo. “Yeah.”

“Then I should inform the people to evacuate this area?” The man said immediately.

“Three days later,” Jiang Shuxuan replied, keeping the compass away.

The leader glanced at him, grasping his meaning immediately and he motioned for the driver to drive. As the car drove away from the zoo, he looked back at the place with a grim smile on his face.

At the same moment, Cecily was bringing Gu Xiqiao and Klaus to an auction. Gu Xiqiao had initially not wanted to go, but then she seemed to think of something and ended up going all together.

At the auction room, Cecily smiled at Gu Xiqiao and said, “The leader said that whatever catches your eye today, the power world will pay for it.”

Gu Xiqiao looked at the list in her hands, noting nothing interesting except for an ancient jade piece. This should also be the reason that Cecily had brought her, and her lips curled up. “Pass on my thanks to the leader for me then.”

“Hmph, there’s no need to be so polite to him.” Cecily waved her hand. “Whatever it is that he lacks, it sure isn’t money.”

Cecily finally spent a lot of money to buy the ancient jade, as there was a wealthy businessman who was also bidding on it. But how could a rich businessman compare to the leader of America’s power world? In the end, Cecily obtained the bid that she wanted.

“Trying to match the amount of money I have, aren’t you just digging your own grave?” Cecily took the ancient jade that the auction house handed over to her, a grin on her face.

America was different from China, half of the funds of the country were used in the power world, who could fight them in terms of money?

Cecily had wanted to say ‘who could have more money than them’ at first, but then she glanced at Gu Xiqiao, and the words just died in her mouth. Well, speaking of money, there was no one who could compare to Gu Xiqiao. Based on the development trend of Nine Heavens, Cecily wouldn’t even have any doubt if she said she could produce a river of money.

“Isn’t this Klaus?” When the three went out, an unfamiliar voice called out from behind them.

It was followed by a fat figure walking out. This person used to be a lapdog of Klaus in the past, but since Claude had grabbed the inheritance from Klaus in only half a month, this person turned his back immediately, taking Claude’s side and stepping on Klaus instead.

He didn’t expect to run into Klaus in the auction house today, and he was obviously not about to let go of the chance to taunt him. He looked at Gu Xiqiao and Cecily, who were standing beside Klaus, and sneered, “You’ve actually become a gigolo, Klaus. If I were you, I wouldn’t even have the face to come out and meet people.”

“If I were you, I’d find a place to hide immediately.” Klaus had been seeing Gu Xiqiao covering base after base the past few days, and his admiration toward her was endless at this point. Now looking at this fat man, there was no anger at all, and his mood was particularly good.

“Has Klaus lost his mind with the impact from Master Claude being too much?” The fat man stared at Klaus’ retreating back in a daze.

It had only been a few days since he saw Klaus, and the man had changed so much. The last time he saw him, Klaus was deprived of his power publicly, a crushed look on his face. How could Klaus return to his usual appearance in such a short period of time? Not only that, he seems to even be more confident than before?

The fat man was deep in his thoughts when he caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes. He bent his body in a deep bow, his tone respectful as he greeted the figure, “Master Claude.”

Claude spared him a glance before turning his gaze to the three figures who were not too far off from them, a sneer on his face. “He’s been making some moves in the political and government circles, and I thought he found some great backing.” But looking at it now, it was just two young girls with him.

This Klaus seemed to be getting better and better at his life, Claude thought mockingly. “Go and get some people to teach those two girls a lesson for not knowing good from bad. As for Klaus, just leave him be first. I’ll let him watch with his own eyes as I reach the highest position.”

The people around him immediately replied with an affirmative.

“Beauty Qiao,” Jiji said as it followed Gu Xiqiao. “Claude has seen you all.”

“I know.” Gu Xiqiao was fiddling with the new ancient jade that she had just gotten, smiling faintly as she felt the aura inside. Hmm, wasn’t that the plan all along, for him to catch sight of them?

Claude had recently become a big hit in America, taking back the power of the Dickens family in just a short half month. He gave out advice like it didn’t cost money, and he easily picked out the traitors in the family, as though he somehow had some mysterious power at predicting who it was. His way of doing things was vicious, and his methods were extremely bloody. He was also a political genius.

So when the people around them knew that Klaus, who had been toppled over by Claude, still wanted to fight against him, they laughed and mocked him.

A useless, powerless trash, waiting to bring down Claude. Wasn’t Klaus just a nutcase for wanting to do so?

This had become a normal joke among the upper class, especially when Klaus openly declared his intentions on social media—[Claude, your era is about to come to an end.]

Countless people who saw this post couldn’t help the curve of their lips. Klaus, where did you get your confidence from? Who gave you the courage? For you to talk such big words so shamelessly? You’ve definitely gone crazy! Claude has definitely driven you crazy!

“This guy is just nuts.” Jiji had sent over the news of this post to Gu Xiqiao and Cecily once it saw it online.

“He’s pleased with himself,” Cecily said as she took a bite of an apple, sighing after. “Who gave him the courage? Who else but Qiao Qiao!”

Jiji thought about it for a while, then glanced at Klaus who was playing with his phone. “Klaus, it’s time to study.”

Klaus turned off his phone immediately, heading upstairs to study. What was he studying, you ask? Of course it was how to maneuver and fight in politics! Gu Xiqiao had specially made up the study plans for him according to his capabilities.

As Klaus studied, he watched Gu Xiqiao poking at the slowly forming vortex. With her impossible feats at manipulation, he felt a pang of sympathy towards Claude. Claude would never have guessed what a horrifying person that he would be facing in the future, right?

Just as countless people in the outside world were watching and wondering how Klaus would be beaten down by Claude, something happened that sent a shockwave through the country.

Claude was preparing to participate in the governor election, and since there were many people in America who admired and respected him, it stands to reason that his election should be extremely successful. However, just as he sat down in his seat, watching the voters in front of him with a smile on his face, a group of people suddenly walked over from the entrance. “Mr. Claude, I’m the Minister of the National Security Bureau, please come with us.”

What was happening? Claude was getting arrested by the National Security Bureau?!

Oh my god! It wasn’t the police, but the National Security Bureau! The country’s most authoritative and confidential agency!

At the same time, several politicians who were also Claude’s friends were facing the same situation and getting arrested.

A few hours later, the National Security Bureau issued a statement stating that Claude had been involved in leaking the secrets of the country. Forget about Claude, the entire Dickens family would not be able to escape, and countless people would be impacted by this matter.

Hearing this news, the people looked at each other, disbelief on their faces as they didn’t expect a turn of events that was this dramatic.

For a moment, those people who had made friends and tried to cozy up with Claude were regretful and frightened, fearing that they too would end up being taken away by the National Security Bureau if they weren’t careful. The entire political circle of America went into a bloody storm, causing everyone to look over their shoulders in fear!

And Klaus, who had been thrown out of the family and abandoned, suddenly returned, full of glory as he calmly pulled the Dickens family out of the political chaos without much hassle. The methods that he used were extremely sophisticated, which reassured the hearts of the Dickens family as a whole.

This situation made the people who had previously laughed and mocked Claus to be dumbfounded. F*ck, what the h*ll is going on?!

Since when did Claus become so brilliant at handling matters? Picking up and taking back the Dickens family so easily? He had even been so easy to remove by Claude previously!

Very soon, everyone discovered where the problem lay. More than one person had seen him following behind a girl, a respectful expression on his face. His attitude puzzled a lot of them, and they later came to a conclusion, was it possible that this girl was the one who secretly made everything happen?

It was a suspicion, one that was later confirmed by Klaus himself. At a press conference, he said, “Everything I have now is because of one person, I am very grateful to her. From now on, the Dickens family will regard her as a guest of honor. In my eyes, she is a god!”

Sh*t! The netizens who heard these words couldn’t help but hiss out, to make the political genius of America be sent to the National Security Bureau in just a short few days! And also picking off countless powerful politicians from the circle, where the heck did this girl come from?

More importantly, this woman was from China! A Chinese who stirred up the entire political scene in America, but there was nothing at all about this from the upper officials of America!

The person in the Dickens family who held the power, she said change then change. Those people who were in high positions of authority in the political circles, she just used minutes to send them to jail. The officials in America even allowed her to do as she pleased, not even daring to let out a fart in her presence!

Everyone was shocked at this, and every single one of them was worried that they were going to be next, and so they went to look for Klaus, one by one. “Master Klaus, that person, would she be willing to see me?”

They already knew who the woman was, but nobody dared to utter her name. They were afraid that it would provoke her, and so they used ‘that person’ to refer to her.

“No, she’s really busy,” Klaus said, a smile on his face as he placed down the files in his hand. “Don’t worry, as long as you have not offended me or her, she won’t bring you any trouble.”

“Master Klaus, please save me!” The fat man knelt down to the ground, panicked. “Claude was the one who asked me to teach her a lesson, please, I beg you, save me!” The men he sent to teach Gu Xiqiao a lesson hadn’t come back, and in the beginning, he had been confused. But later when everything had unfolded, he hoped that the men had not gone after her and had merely run away.

But now he found something was not right, problems for his family popped up one after another, and then he suddenly recalled this fact about sending men after Gu Xiqiao. He was shocked and frightened when he remembered, and hurriedly crawled on his knees to look for Klaus.

“Sorry, I can’t save you.” Klaus spared him a glance, before waving for someone to get the fat man out of here.

The political world of America was now reshuffling their cards and hierarchy, and the Dickens family was not only safe, but they were also thriving! Those who used to taunt Klaus after his fall now came begging to lick his shoes, and they were all chased out of the door by him.

Miss Gu had told him before, a truly strong politician didn’t need to rely on others!

Those who were chased out wiped the dirt off their faces, sneering. What was he so arrogant about! He had just gotten to where he was due to his connections!

Klaus was in high-spirits now, and he had a happy expression no matter where he went. People who saw him like this were hard-pressed to beat him up!

There were also people who wondered if that Chinese person was going to enter the political world of America, and if so, that would just be entirely too terrifying to think about. For the politicians, it spelled out a disaster. Working with such a monster every day would just bring more worry and anxiousness to their hearts!

The political circle of America was in an uproar at the matters that had happened recently, and this topic was also a hot topic among the people of America.

Klaus, who heard all these, merely laughed. The political circle of America? She completely didn’t care about them at all, even the commander would bend over backward when he saw her, why would she care about such an ordinary position?

Cecily and Li Yu, who knew there was a good show to watch, were both at Gu Xiqiao’s temporary residence. Cecily sighed. “I thought that she was going to use her physics stuff to suppress that… whatever Dickens family. Can’t believe she came up with this instead.”

“You won’t be able to get this kind of effect if you were to use force,” Li Yu said, a faint smile on his lips. “It’s more interesting to watch her turn the entire country into a whirlpool anyway. What’s next?”

Cecily looked towards Gu Xiqiao, and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “It should be… The Qing triad, right?”
