"Furthermore, he fears you may not believe him, which is why he asked to be the witness to this matter. With the prestige I, Old Ross, have accumulated over decades, having vouch for this guarantee should put your mind at ease; you need not fear that he will go back on his word. From what I can see, this young man is extrely determined and proud. If he dares to make such an astonishing request, he certainly will not break his promise."
Old Ross’s voice was suffused with a strong sense of admiration, much like the appreciation and praise one would have upon seeing a sparkling diamond.
Ling Yan was utterly astounded by the matter, finding it hard to believe that Third Young Master Jun would propose to trade his life for the opportunity to cooperate. To accomplish a goal to the extent of sacrificing his own life was just too... However, looking at Old Ross, he had no choice but to believe it.
After all, the Stanley Family is an enormous and glorious ancient aristocratic family with hundreds of years of history, their influence pervading comrce and politics in Europe and Arica, a powerful family that no other prominent house would dare to offend.
Even if Third Young Master Jun had audacity, he would not dare to toy with Old Ross, the patriarch of this family.
If it had been anyone else telling him this, or if Third Young Master Jun had negotiated with him directly, he would not have believed it. But with Mr. Old Ross himself stepping forward, he absolutely believes that Third Young Master Jun’s condition for exchange is genuine.
Probably, Third Young Master Jun also thought that no other thod would make him believe, which is why he turned to Mr. Old Ross to serve as the guarantor. This, too, shows the determination of Third Young Master Jun.
"I really want to know what it is that he is willing to sacrifice his life for to achieve," said Ling Yan.
Mr. Old Ross slightly narrowed his eyes. Although the young man before him hadn’t agreed imdiately, he clearly showed interest, soone who could keep his composure, and knew to temporarily set aside vengeance, not allowing hatred to blind his vision.
Ha, indeed, there are no shortage of fascinating young people these days.
"Take a look at this letter."
Mr. Old Ross handed him a letter. Ling Yan’s slender fingers gripped the plain sheet of paper, but as he read the content, his handso face suddenly changed color, going through several transformations as he read.
In the end, he clenched the letter tightly, a cold gleam in his eyes revealing an extre chill.
The content was simply too shocking, so astounding that it made it hard for Ling Yan to comprehend all the startling insider details at once.
Third Young Master Jun said in his heart that his godfather, Su Feiman, was not rely a businessman as he seed on the surface, but rather the leader of an international underground organization called "new", facilitating connections across various links for mbers involved in comrce and politics, helping them gain the greatest benefits. As such, he held sway over many comrcial and political figures’ weaknesses, enhancing his own power and acquiring more intelligence.
And Old Ling’s assassination was also connected to this. Old Ling’s political enemy was an important elder mber of this organization, so to help the elder eliminate his opponent, Su Feiman sent soone to assassinate Old Ling.
Reading this far, Ling Yan’s fists tightened. Without solid evidence, such one-sided statents were difficult to judge. But in the letter, he saw several incidents planned secretly in the country by the "new" organization ntioned by Third Young Master Jun.
In military circles, he had also heard of this organization and these events; clearly, they were true. Knowing such secrets of the new organization, Third Young Master Jun’s knowledge confird that he indeed wasn’t lying.
Moreover, he had always wondered why Third Young Master Jun, the young master of the Jun Group, with no grievances against their Ling Family, would want to assassinate his grandfather. But if Su Feiman ordered it to eliminate a grandfather for a senior mber of the organization, then it would make sense.
