“You are a worthless waste now and you still want to negotiate with me? What a joke. What do you think you are? You are just a waste that will even abandon your country. Who would believe you?”
Jez’s mocking voice made Viktor’s face turn dark and then red. He still felt as if virtual-novel.net was dreaming.
Why did his subordinates, whom virtual-novel.net thought were loyal, betray virtual-novel.net so easily after only a few days?
He ignored Jez’s ridicule. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked at his confidant who was also pointing a gun at him, and said coldly, “Why? Why did you betray me?”
The confidant dared not look directly into Viktor’s eyes. He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, Captain, the losses in the regiment during this period have been too great. We don’t want to have such unnecessary casualties again… If we can change our backing, the men will die less in the future. Mr. Jez also promised us to provide more supplies for us in the future…”
Viktor’s heart sank again at his confidant’s words.
He originally thought that these subordinates betrayed virtual-novel.net for some unavoidable reason. In this case, although virtual-novel.net would be upset, it would still be an acceptable reason. However, the reason they chose to betray virtual-novel.net turned out to be so simple.
They were just vague promises from a big family, and it made them betray virtual-novel.net so easily.
Viktor was so disheartened at this time that virtual-novel.net had no intention of persuading these men to fight back.
He turned his head, looked at Jez, and said coldly, ”Mr. Jez, I admit that I have been abandoned by the Rothschilds. But even though the Rothschilds are willing to give up on me, it doesn’t mean they are also willing to give up on the group of people I have!”
“They have been eyeing my troops for a long time. If you take my people now, you will be competing with the Rothschilds. Aren’t you afraid that the Rothschilds will have any negative thoughts about this?”
When Jez heard Viktor’s threat, virtual-novel.net did not show the slightest panic on his face. Instead, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Viktor, you have finally done something that makes me respect you a little bit. Even in this desperate situation, you still have not given up all hope and you still want to make a comeback…”
“It’s just that your method of driving a wedge between us is too clumsy. You said that if I take your troops now, the Rothschilds will be dissatisfied, but… Is it possible that this plan was jointly planned between me and the Rothschilds?”
As soon as Jez finished speaking, Viktor’s expression changed.
Then virtual-novel.net heard those subordinates suddenly shout in unison, “The Rothschilds and the Morgans will be eternal!”
“The Rothschilds and the Morgans will be eternal!”
Viktor’s face finally turned completely gray and there was no hope in his eyes.
“I see… I see… So that’s why… Not only was I abandoned by the Rothschilds, I was even used as a bargaining chip by them to make friends with the Morgans…”
“As expected of the Rothschilds, they will squeeze out all remaining value in anything they do…”
Jez smiled lightly and said, “Now, do you know the real reason why your men betrayed you?”
“In order to seek the protection of the Rothschilds, you chose to use your mercenary group as a bargaining chip. But have you ever thought about how they feel? Are they really willing to pay the price of your glory and wealth with their lives? Instead of following the half-assed Rothschild, why not follow the real Rothschild? And this time, they can even have the Morgans’ name.”
