Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 327: Strike

The Dawn was attacked, Alan lost contact, the entire hunting party was silent, and the fate of the members was unknown. Because one of them was Adele, the Morsons joined in the solidarity after Beth Cod's announcement. However, Old Kate and Horn had always been on good terms. In addition to their granddaughter being implicated, it was reasonable for them to support Beth Cod.

Unexpectedly, almost as soon as the Morsen Clan's voice was announced, the William Clan, one of the three wealthy clans, also issued their own voice.

William's representative righteously pointed out that the mastermind behind the scenes was despicable, given Allen's talent at the last press conference. If this young man with limitless potential were to be buried in this despicable attack, it would not only be a loss to Beth Cord, but also to the entire Federation.

In the lengthy statement that followed, the Williams expressed their position that they would do everything in their power to assist Beth Cord in investigating the attack. After several clans issued statements in succession, the federation finally responded.

A notice issued personally by the Presidential Clerk's Office stated that the Federation would dispatch search and rescue teams to search for the Dawn and that an independent commission of inquiry would be set up to deal with the matter. The reason why the Federation did this was because it involved members of several large clans. More importantly, there was also a royal daughter of Adahua Planet aboard the Dawn!

Even though the Great Emperor had many children under his knees, if he knew that one of the emperors and daughters had buried Babylon for no reason, he would definitely not let it go. Alliance considerations and Adahua Planet's power over the Earth Federation have prompted President Morbit to make a full investigation into the matter.

This is undoubtedly a further complication for His Excellency the President, who is facing an all-out war on the floating island and on the ground as a result of the recent breakdown of negotiations with the Gate of Freedom.

Allen's disappearance was exactly the same as the joy and sorrow of the other families. Horn and his friends and relatives were naturally the ones who were worried. The ones who were delighted were those who wished that Allen would become the dust of the universe. Diego was one of them.

After hearing the news, Diego even held a small private banquet to celebrate Alan's disappearance. After the press conference, Diego felt threatened by Allen's talent in terms of sequence. In terms of personal strength, he was gradually moving away from Allen. If Allen stepped on the Magic Cube Sequence, Diego's poor self-esteem would not be able to withstand such a blow.

So Alan's disappearance was a great thing for him. This made him laugh as he stood in his father's office.

"You look in a good mood?" Donald glanced at his son and looked back at the report on the screen. He smiled and said, "This old man Horn is still so angry. It seems like he wants to know that Maine once had an idea for his precious grandson. He may have already charged into the Alexandrian manor."

'"Father, shall we pass on the news to Beth Cod? Interesting things will happen, I suppose," Diego said.

"Don't do anything unnecessary, Diego," he shook his head, fearing that the world would be invincible. You are talented in sequence, but in other areas, you are too entangled in the end of the branch. Successful people should take a long-term view and take big strides towards their goals. They should not waste their time and energy on the indispensable scenery along the way. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve anything. "

Diego lowered his head and said, "I see, father."

Dornier reached out and slid the screen. A video appeared in the window. In the scene, an elite squad was charging towards a ground base. In a few minutes, the ground base was destroyed. Donald smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's not a good thing to annoy Beth Cod."

This was a battle that took place two hours ago. The base was run by a number of local forces, but the real boss was Alexander. The squad that attacked the base was Beth Cod's Black Hawk Commandos. Because this base involved the construction of illegal airships, Beth Cod was on the strike list. But the real reason for the attack was that Donald bet Horn knew who the real owner of the base was. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so thoroughly attacked, and due to the illegality of the base, Maine could only swallow this mute thing in his stomach.

In the past two months, there had been many such shocks. Apart from Alexander, there were also other clans that had suffered blows to their bases or industries. Without exception, these families were hostile to Bescot. Horn made it clear that no matter who had plotted against Alan, he would rather kill the wrong fish than let him off.

However, the targets he chose were extremely exquisite. These bases were all engaged in illegal research or manufacturing of restricted materials in violation of the rules. Even though the families that had been attacked knew that Beth Cod had deliberately attacked them, they could only endure it in silence. After all, if they were to be pierced through, then the ones who would suffer the most would still be them.

In fact, the Grant family was the most suspicious when it came to beneficiaries. But Horn didn't touch Grant's property, making the Grant family so eye-catching in this Bescot attack that one couldn't help but wonder if the two seemingly discordant families had reached some sort of agreement. Of course, not to mention the agreement, Donald didn't see Horn at all.

However, the impact was real. In the past week, Grant's orders for the Magic Martial Factory had plummeted significantly. There were even some families that had cooperated with him, using all sorts of excuses to transfer the capital chain one after another, obviously beginning to doubt the Grant Clan's position.

Dornier only set it aside and did not take any measures to stop it. Because that would only aggravate the speculation of others, but he had to admire Horn. He just pretended and quickly disintegrated the Grant Clan's alliance forces.

'"This old fox," Donald thought to himself.

In Horn's study, the video that Dornier saw was also played on the projection screen wall, but it was shot from different angles. After watching the video, Horn said indifferently, "What's going on with the Alexander family recently?"

"No." Anna put her hands behind her back and said, "Maine is calm and restrained. There were a few times when we were obviously provoking him, but he didn't respond."

"This is not like his style. The more Main endured it, the greater the relationship between this matter and him. Even if he wasn't the one who planned it, he would still be involved!" Horn snorted, "This arrogant fellow thought that he could challenge me with just a little bit of weight. I just disdained to respond. I didn't expect that he would actually advance an inch and even harm Alan today."

"If anything happens to Alan, I want Alexander removed from Babylon!"

The air in the study room condensed, and even Anna found it difficult to breathe. After a while, Horn's aura subsided and Anna said, "It's a pity that we don't have any substantial evidence yet. On Rainbow Bridge, after Young Master Allen was attacked, several operators committed suicide." And they reacted very quickly, and when we looked at their families, we found that their families had disappeared from the face of the earth. "

"It only means that they had a plan. But assuming Maine was the mastermind, I'm curious how he bought the Rainbow Bridge workstation. Those people are federal and have worked in space for years, and Maine has very little access to them. I don't think Maine has direct access to these people." Horn said in a deep voice.

Anna frowned. "You mean there's a middleman in there, and he's from the Federation?"

"Only in this way can we explain how the mastermind set up the workstation. Or perhaps, the mastermind is not Maine, but the people from the Federation." Horn tapped the table with his finger and said, "Looks like I need to see Alstair."

"Did you find any clues regarding the deployment of the warship?" Horn asked.

Because there were battleships in the airship that attacked Allen at that time, there were weapons of outer space warfare like battleships. Beth Cod had investigated several black ship manufacturers on the ground. Although these giants' factories also produced weapons like battleships, according to their recent orders and the whereabouts of these battleships, none of them met the conditions for attacking the Dawn.

In the end, Horn suspected that if that person could use a warship, his position would definitely not be low. In this way, Horn could only act cautiously. He informed Windsor Belo, who was far away at the Star Defense Line, and conducted an internal investigation through Marshal Greed's connections.

Anna said, "Marshal Greed hasn't received any news yet."

"This is normal. To be able to do this, that person will definitely not leave behind too many clues. Even Windsor Belo will not be easy to investigate." "Continue with our previous arrangements and have Steward Helsing contact Alstair to arrange a meeting with me," Horn said.

"Understood, Master." Anna nodded and retreated.

When Horn was left alone in the study, he leaned back against the chair. Horn's gaze softened. He habitually touched his pocket, but the pocket watch that accompanied him had already been given to Alan. "Sorry, Lanny. I actually put Allen in such a dangerous situation, but I'm sure that Allen's child will be fine. He has already survived so many crises, and this time, he will definitely not be an exception," Horn murmured as he reached out to rub his eyebrows.

"I believe he will come back!"

"Lord Alstair has been contacted. He would like to invite you to lunch," Steward Helsing said as he walked in.

Horn nodded and stood up. He opened his eyes, and his exhaustion instantly dissipated. He returned to his tough posture as the Patriarch.

"Prepare the car for me." Horn said indifferently.
