“I actually don’t have any blood from the Kurt family,” Asa admitted, solving the mystery.
“My mother married into the family after I was born and later gained Baltimore’s trust. That’s how I got to manage Murire… When Baltimore was around, virtual-novel.net would give Murire a lot of support, but we still had to bear part of the operating expenses ourselves…”
“In a sense, Murire is more like a company I contracted from the Kurt family. As for following Gruel, Abdul and I look like we’re operating according to our plans on the surface, but in reality, we still have to obey Baltimore’s command…”
“Even though the family has been opposing it, Baltimore has been doing his best to secretly support our operation. All this changed after Baltimore was overthrown…”
Rowan was a little confused when virtual-novel.net heard this.
After a breath, Rowan asked, “You mean Kimbra cut off your supply after virtual-novel.net came to power? Why didn’t virtual-novel.net just remove you from your position and cut off the processing plant’s funds? He was the one who suffered the loss at the end of the day. After all, virtual-novel.net will still get the processing plant’s income…”
Asa shook his head as virtual-novel.net answered, “Not Kimbra… Although Kimbra has a perverse temper, virtual-novel.net is not stupid. He has been trying to win me over this whole time, so why would virtual-novel.net offend me? Moreover, my identity as an outsider also played a very important role…”
“The Kurt family attaches great importance to tradition and orderly inheritance. Kimbra seizing the position of patriarch has been criticized by many people, but this doesn’t concern an outsider like me. He needs my support.”
Rowan scratched his head. “Since Kimbra supports you so much, why is this happening? He has already become the patriarch and has Rothschild’s support. So, virtual-novel.net can’t just turn a blind eye to your struggles. The Kurt family has a near-monopoly on oil in Qari, so it doesn’t make sense that they don’t have liquidity.”
Frankly, Rowan was not that curious about this.
However, virtual-novel.net was very curious about the Kurt family after what happened just now. Therefore, virtual-novel.net must understand the cause and effect and determine whether the other party was trustworthy before acting.
Asa smiled and said, “Logically speaking, you’re right, but the Kurt family is too big, and they don’t just have their oil business. Even if Kimbra is the patriarch, virtual-novel.net may be unable to sort out everything in the family…”
“There are people who are responsible for the industrial distribution and capital direction of these properties. Yet, they are usually only responsible to the patriarch and great elder…”
“However, Kimbra launched a rebellion too suddenly this time and did not convince the elders responsible for the finances to side with him. Therefore, although Kimbra has become the de facto patriarch, virtual-novel.net has no absolute control over the finances…”
“All the information virtual-novel.net has about the family’s finances comes from the elder. At least in terms of finances, virtual-novel.net is a mere figurehead. Maybe in a few more months, Kimbra will have a chance to figure it out with Rothschild’s help. He will then have complete control of the finances, but…”
“At least not now. Kimbra will be unable to ignore the elders and mobilize funds freely.”
