Chapter 899 - Completion of the Underwater Tunnel (1/2)

“At nine o’clock on November 6th, a SUV that drove into the Synagogue located in Pilsen, Czech Republic, caught on fire. When the SUV crashed into the church, the vehicle exploded. The Pilsen Fire Department dispatched immediately, but when the fire engine arrived, the church was completely swallowed by flames.”

“A total of 31 people were killed and 57 suffered burns of varying degrees. The vehicle was remotely controlled and contained highly adhesive fuel. At present, the Pilsen City Police Force has initially determined that this incident to be a terrorist attack against Jews. The Czech President made a speech in front of the media, declaring the Czech Republic to enter a state of emergency and Pilsen to be placed under martial law. When asked how long the martial law would last, the Czech President did not explicitly give an answer. He only said that martial law’s duration would be further discussed at parliament…”

The news on the television showed the horrific incident that occurred in Czech Republic and once again was another blow to the Western world deeply traumatized by terrorism.

In contrast, the gunfight that took place on Venice Street in Los Santos was forgotten by the media.

After all, the death of a group of UA and Xin citizens was far less compelling compared to what happened here.

In particular, there were exactly thirteen chairmen of European conglomerates that were praying in this humble church…

Ayesha, with a plate, walked next to Jiang Chen. She gently placed a glass of milk and golden fried rice in front of him.

A follow-up report of the Pilsen Attack was shown on television. Ayesha’s expression didn’t look any different, as if it had nothing to do with her.

“The FTSE 100 Index opened at 7,121 points, diving 4.3%, the French CAC40 index opened at 4,441.7 points, down 2.0%, the German DAX30 index opened at 10,610.8 points, a substantial plunge of 5.7%.” While drinking milk, Xia Shiyu concentrated on the newspaper, “Shanghai, Shenzhen, and the Nikkei rose slightly, and the Dow Jones Index rebounded slightly after being down at the open…”

With a sigh, she put down the cup.

“The economic crisis has already begun.”

With half a half cup of milk down, the corner of her mouth was still stained with white milk. Perhaps she realized this, she subconsciously licked it with her tongue.

The action was especially seductive, although she did not realize this, Jiang Chen who sat next to her closed his legs.

Xia Shiyu noticed that the way Jiang Chen sat seemed a bit unusual. She looked to his side with a puzzled expression.

“Any questions?”

“No, no! Ahem, speaking of this… Economic crisis, is it related to this?” Jiang Chen hurriedly pointed to the report on TV, and followed her last sentence to change the subject.

After listening to Jiang Chen’s question, Xia Shiyu nodded approvingly.

“There is no direct connection. This economic crisis is due to causes from a long time ago. From the recent soaring oil prices, it is a glimpse of the cause. But to some extent, this attack could be considered the tipping point.”

As Xia Shiyu explained, she spread the newspaper in her hands and turned to another panel. She did not know the connection between the attack and the Los Santos Incident, the Freemasonry, Jiang Chen, and Ghost Agents. She just analyzed the issue from an objective point of view.

Looking down at Xia Shiyu’s slender fingers, Jiang Chen saw the title on the newspaper, which seemed to be about European inheritance taxes.

“The key lies in the people who died in this attack. Among them are the Chairman of the Krupp Group, the Director and CEO of Luxembourg’s Albed Steel Group, the Executive Director of Siemens… and even the second order of Rothschild Bank. In addition to the last one, these people are the real power figures of the European capital.”

Speaking of this, Xia Shiyu pushed up her glasses and a flash of sharpness showed in her eyes.

“The unexpected incident has made the European economy, which is already stagnant, even worse, and even pulled down the North American economy. In contrast, the long suppressed Asian market has rebounded. If we look at this from this perspective, our departure from the European market appears be a correct decision.”

“Are you not going to praise me?” Jiang Chen joked.

“You just got lucky.” Xia Shiyu glared at the cocky Jiang Chen and scoffed him.
