Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Take Them All Away (2/2)
Under the protection of numerous bodyguards, Chen Yu sat boldly in the middle of the hall, looking coldly at Luo Kai.
It was only after Luo Kai had finished his long-winded speech that Victor slowly rose from his seat.
“Indeed, William’s family was an elder member of the Illuminati, but the actions of the Illuminati had long violated the interests of the major families. Over a hundred years ago, William’s family announced our withdrawal from the Illuminati. Now, it seems we have no ties whatsoever, but you still insist on bringing this up. Are you not taking William’s family seriously?”
Luo Kai’s eyes widened in disbelief; he had not expected Victor to show him no courtesy.
“Victor, don’t forget that when Europe was cleaning up the royal families, it was the Illuminati that saved William’s family!”
With a snort, Victor replied, “If I remember correctly, it was the Illuminati that first proposed the clean-up of the European royal families, then hypocritically claimed to be protecting us. You took credit for both the good and the bad. The ancient royal families of Europe, who would still trust you now?”
Chen Yu suddenly felt it amusing and couldn’t help but spit out the wine he had just drunk.
“The Illuminati is really quite amusing, daring to come to William’s family’s territory and stir up trouble. Does Mr. Victor even need to steal your messy trinkets?”
Luo Kai’s eyes bulged, “You brat, stop spouting nonsense with your eyes wide open. The treasures from our vault were stolen by you!”
Chen Yu laughed, “You’re talking about the Illuminati’s vault? I have indeed been there, and as far as I remember, none of the items inside seemed to be missing. Unless you have some other secret vault behind the scenes?”
At that, Luo Kai fell silent, unsure of how to argue.
Since the dissolution of the Illuminati’s key members, their primary source of income had shifted to trafficking antiques and producing forgeries.
Therefore, the vault they showed to outsiders and under surveillance was that so-called fake vault.
As for the real vault, it was not only devoid of any surveillance devices but also unrecorded.
In other words, they simply could not produce valid evidence to prove that the items from the vault had been stolen by Chen Yu.
Moreover, the previous night, all the treasures had already been shipped away by Chen Yu and had since passed through the Strait of Malacca.
Luo Kai and the other two elders were seething with rage, unable to believe they had been outwitted by Chen Yu.
Victor unceremoniously had his bodyguards show the three elders the door.
And so, they were mercilessly thrown out.
Chen Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was preparing to leave, Victor blocked his way.
“Mr. Chen, although the Illuminati is in decline, their influence remains. Now that you have taken their vault, they will retaliate, more or less. If it’s all the same to you, you might as well stay with William’s family for the time being and avoid going out.”
Chen Yu agreed on the surface, but how could he possibly stay put here?
He still needed to assess the Western market to decide whether to continue dumping meal kits here.
