As soon as Viktor saw the visitor, virtual-novel.net smiled uncontrollably. “You must be Mr. Jez…”
Jez Morgan, the third successor of the Morgan family.
Although virtual-novel.net was nominally the third pick, the two before virtual-novel.net were frail and sick, making virtual-novel.net the most likely person to become the next leader of the Morgans.
Jez Morgan frowned and said, “Viktor, why did you suddenly contact us this time and say you are willing to join the Morgans? If I remember correctly, you seemed to have joined the Rothschilds…”
“The Morgans and the Rothschilds have known each other for generations. You are already one of them and now you want to come to us. What’s the meaning of this?”
After hearing this, Viktor’s smile immediately froze and virtual-novel.net had a strange look on his face. He knew that Jez had said this deliberately to manipulate him.
It was true that the Morgans and the Rothschilds had been friends for generations, but the two families had always been at odds with each other.
Every generation of successors would compete, and the results of the competition would even be used as a reference for assessing inheritance qualifications.
Meanwhile, Bella was the one who was going to participate in this unwritten comparison in this generation of Rothschilds. As for the Morgans, it was Jez in front of him.
Viktor sought Jez because virtual-novel.net knew this. After all, virtual-novel.net was the one Bella nominally brought into the Rothschild family. So even if virtual-novel.net later felt dissatisfied with Bella, virtual-novel.net was still on Bella’s side on the surface.
Now that virtual-novel.net had switched to side with Jez, virtual-novel.net was essentially weakening Bella and strengthening Jez. This would undoubtedly increase the chance of Jez competing to be the head of the family.
Jez certainly knew this. However, by asking this now, Jez was obviously trying to manipulate Viktor and take the opportunity to gain more benefits for himself.
His appetite was far greater than Viktor imagined.
Viktor was not happy, but the situation was out of his control now.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Jez, I should have made it very clear when I contacted you…”
“I used to help Miss Bella Rothschild, but now something’s gone wrong and I can’t contact them anymore. Seeking asylum with the Morgans was a choice made out of desperation. I think the Morgans also need an armed force of their own in Qari, and Sky Wolves Mercenaries is a powerful force in Qari.”
After hearing this, Jez smiled, but what virtual-novel.net said next caused Viktor’s heart to sink. “So you are the cannon fodder abandoned by Bella. Why should I take over someone Bella doesn’t want?”
Viktor’s face turned cold and was about to speak when virtual-novel.net heard Jez say coldly, “In the past few days, I have inquired about what you told me. The people who are dealing with you now are indeed from the intelligence agency. You also know the power of the intelligence agency in the United States…”
“Aside from how the Rothschilds will react after we accept you, let’s just talk about the intelligence agency. They will kill you without hesitation, so if we take you into the Morgans at this time, it will be equivalent to becoming the enemy of the intelligence agency. You also know their power in the United States. The price of offending the intelligence agency is too high, even for us…”
“I need you to give me a reason to protect you.”
Before Viktor could speak, Jez added, “Don’t say anything like how Sky Wolves Mercenaries can give us support. This reason is only enough for me to come and negotiate with you in person, but it is not enough for me to offend the intelligence agency.”
