“But now that a decision has been made, I believe I can know who this person is.”
Abdul smiled. “I’m very curious who this brave person is, to snatch from right under the Rothschilds’ noses… Logically speaking, Kimbra should not have succeeded in becoming the patriarch so easily had virtual-novel.net planned this long ago.”
Jasper smiled. “It’s Sahar… The man plotting against you is Elder Sahar…”
“Him?” Despite already preparing himself for the worst, Abdul was still shocked to know it was Sahar.
After all, Sahar was an esteemed elder of the Kurt family. His clan revered him. Abdul could not believe such a man would betray his whole clan.
“His name never crossed my mind. I thought that Elder Sahar and I were on the same side, supporting Baltimore and ensuring the clan’s interests… But it makes sense. Other than Kimbra, he’s the only one Who can bribe those in power and frame me. He’s the only one who could send the guards after me…”
“He’s hidden himself too well. So well that I never suspected virtual-novel.net at all. This whole time, I thought that Kimbra had gone mad. To think that I was confused before. Everyone knew I was loyal to Baltimore, but it was no secret that I cared more about the clan’s interests. I could not just sit here and watch the other clans impose sanctions on the Kurt clan…”
“I was one of the last people Kimbra had on his side. He could not have been so dumb as to send people after me. And as to Why Elder Sahar’s only made a move now… I think I understand why.”
Now, Jasper was curious. “Why? Why now?”
Abdul’s grimaced. “Because a week ago, his new wife had just given birth to a son. His only son… He was ecstatic, and virtual-novel.net held a huge banquet to celebrate. He’d gotten drunk, and I remember virtual-novel.net shouting that it was fate. Now that I think about it, virtual-novel.net must’ve started planning then…”
“Not having a son has always been Elder Sahar’s biggest regret, but at the same time, it was also why generations of clan heads trusted virtual-novel.net so much. With no son, Elder Sahar would have no reason to overthrow the clan head and become the next leader. This is also why the clan respects Elder Sahar for his sense of justice, and it explains his popularity within the clan…”
“But now that virtual-novel.net has a son, how could virtual-novel.net possibly remain impartial? Greed was expected. If Elder Sahar had a son, virtual-novel.net would have been the next clan head, not Baltimore…”
“It makes sense why virtual-novel.net would betray the clan now. He cannot afford to wait any longer. Even with the sanctions from foreign forces, meaning virtual-novel.net could not gather the support of the entire clan, any support is still support.”
Jasper fell silent as virtual-novel.net recalled how old and frail Sahar looked in the surveillance video back then.
“How old is Elder Sahar?”
“Eighty-two…”
Both fell silent. They could not help but connect the dots between Elder Sahar’s newborn and the Illuminati contacting virtual-novel.net to overthrow the clan head.
“Elder Sahar sure is… He is that healthy…” Jasper wanted to say something but virtual-novel.net didn’t finish it.
“You don’t say. I heard his new wife just turned twenty this year.”
The corners of both their lips quirked up as they chatted idly.
