Chapter 340: The assassination continues

Ethan and Sofia decided on the defensive strategy and began to arrange personnel to implement it.

First, they notified allies to strengthen their defense, and then sent people to contact the Iris Society.

Of course, the most important thing is to strengthen their own defense.

For this purpose, they also specially transferred a team of knights from the family.

In short, they should take a defensive posture and remain restrained.

But the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.

Just after telling the allies to be careful, something happened the next day.

Ethan was a little surprised that the slap in the face came so quickly.

The person who died this time was Rubrio, the younger brother of the patriarch of the Casillas family.

He died in his own carriage in the wilderness, and the cause of death was a sudden heart attack.

Of course, this is the official statement.

In reality, he was having fun with a mistress in a carriage in the wild.

And then there was nothing else.

When he was found, he and his mistress were hanged on a tree, and each of them was stabbed twelve times in the back.

Yes, it was such a coincidence, twelve times again.

What's even more coincidental is that the mistress is the widow of Joseph, the recently deceased congressman.

Of course, there is no such thing as coincidence, everything has its inevitability.

Rubrio's hobby is widows.

In fact, all his mistresses are widows.

And the more recently deceased the husband is, the more excited he is, and he even did absurd things, such as taking a widow to do things on the coffin of the husband...

You don't understand what this hobby is, let alone such behavior, but this is the fact.

The aristocratic circle is so chaotic.

Now if you don't have a few mistresses or lovers in the aristocratic circle.

Really, you are embarrassed to say hello to people when you go out, let alone have a common language.

Of course, you can't blame them for having problems.

If they are rich and powerful, and they are too idle and don't have some fun, then they are really sick.

There is only one disease in the world, and that is poverty.

Only poverty can make people behave properly and have good style.

So they are not sick, they are normal people.

Ethan has a special say in this regard.

Of course, Ethan is not talking about himself, but Embiid.

This guy always talks about his daughter, and when he gets home, he circles around his daughter, even riding her like a horse. He is a good man who cares about his family.

But since he became rich, his status has also risen.

People have been giving him money and women.

At first, he refused, showing an extremely strong character.

But everything changed after the Corleone family gave him a white moonlight who was younger than his eldest daughter.

This guy hasn't been back to his home for more than a month.

Every time I see him, he looks exhausted.

His cheeks are thin and he walks tremblingly.

It feels like he could die at any time.

A mature and stable middle-aged man, in front of a stunner in his prime, his will is so vulnerable, let alone others.

From this point of view, Rubrio dared to play tricks in such a dangerous period, and his death was not unjust.

Although his death was not unjust, his death has now caused chaos in the entire Maro City aristocratic circle.

Everyone is wondering who did it?

Logically speaking, the first suspect must be the Iris Society, and the purpose is to retaliate.

The second suspect is the Duke's Mansion, because they are completely likely to use this incident to secretly launch a revenge for the seizure of power.

And the two people who died were members of the parliament, which makes this even more likely.

Suspecting the two of them is fine, and there are even people who suspect Ethan.

Because the Lawson family and the Casillas family had unpleasant experiences, although they have reconciled, it is not ruled out that they will take advantage of the crisis to retaliate!

And although Rubrio was also behind the scenes, it is entirely possible that he imitated the crime.

The most important thing is that this incident itself was caused by Ethan.

And because Ethan did nothing about Joseph's death, if you were a member of the Casillas family, you would also suspect that Ethan was behind it.

Anyway, the current situation is that everyone is suspicious of each other, and everyone feels wronged.

The people in the Duke's Mansion feel wronged. They are sitting at home, and a big black pot comes from the sky.

They want to seek justice, but they find that they don't know what the injustice is.

The Iris Society also feels wronged. Not only did a person in charge die, but they were also remembered by the Great Sword Saint of Maro City.

Now the senior leaders dare not even show their faces, for fear of being stabbed twelve times in the back.

The entire Iris Society is almost unable to function normally because of this.

The noble councilors also feel wronged. They are just following the steps of the Great Sword Saint, but they are dragged into the vortex for no reason.

Now, they can't advance or retreat, and even have to give up their only hobby.

Ethan also feels wronged. I just pretended to be cool, but I never thought that someone would put a rope around my neck and lead me away.

Now it's not possible to fight back, and it's not possible not to fight back.

Now, under the leadership of the Cassilia family, all the nobles came to Ethan to ask for an explanation.

People from the Duke's Mansion also came, and people from the Iris Society also came.

Ethan had to gather them together at a table, and everyone had a frank chat.

The person who came from the Duke's Mansion was an uncle of the Duke of Lyon. He said that the Duke's Mansion was not involved in this matter. Catherine said that he did not lie.

The person who came from the Iris Society was a director of the headquarters. There were only 7 directors in the Iris Society, and they were responsible for the operation of the entire Iris Society.

This is already an absolute top leader, and he also said that it was not done by the Iris Society, and Catherine also said that he did not lie.

This is equivalent to completely overturning Sophia's previous views.

Ethan originally thought that it had something to do with these two families, but now he can't tell the truth.

There are only a few forces in Maro City, and everyone sits at the same table.

Since it has nothing to do with everyone, who did it?

It can't be that I, Ethan, did it in my sleepwalking!

Ethan couldn't handle this matter, the only thing he could do was to warn the Iris Society and the Duke's Mansion.

He spoke to the two families with a dark face throughout the whole process.

The purpose of doing this was purely helpless, just to give an explanation to those allies.

Then he repeatedly assured everyone that he would find out the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him to justice.

In the end, after a lot of effort, he finally sent these people away.

Although he fooled people away, Ethan had no solution for what to do next.

The only thing that can be done is to send out all the super eagles to monitor the movements of Maro City 24 hours a day.

At the same time, communicate with all the allies and ask them to open up their airspace and let the super eagles participate in the prevention and control.

Everyone is happy about this.

Maro City entered a full martial law after the talks.

I don’t know if this trick worked or everyone had strict protection. Maro City was very calm in the next few days.

Of course, Ethan knew that this was only a temporary calm. As long as the mastermind was not caught, all this would happen sooner or later.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this time to hurry to the Northland.

The original plan had been delayed for a long time and could not be delayed any longer.

And this time, we couldn’t go according to the original plan. We had to go and come back quickly when visiting each family.
