Chapter 334 Peace

"We are covering a breaking news story!" Looking at the camera with seriousness in her eyes, a woman of about 35 continued "It was reported that yesterday, there was a terrorist attack inside Ireland. The motives are unknown but the death toll is reported to be in the hundreds. We will now be in front of the investigating officer who will provide more details.

"After an arduous work of the emergency team, it was possible to identify 112 dead people in the place" Standing in front of dozens of cameras and many microphones, a woman in a military suit spoke seriously "After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the victims come from a famous mercenary group called 'BlackWater', the motive of the attack is unknown, but it was confirmed that these mercenaries entered the country illegally".

"After cooperation with several police centers, it was discovered that everything is due to a personal altercation between BlackWater and an unknown group. Yesterday there were reports of constant bombings of 3 military bases and multiple assassinations on a worldwide scale, with the total number of casualties already around 5,000 people."

"I want to ask our citizens not to be alarmed, so far there is no indication of a second attack and our police forces are doing everything necessary to get to the perpetrators."

"Damn!" Throwing the remote control at the television, a woman in her 50's turned to her side and exclaimed "What does estro madre mean?"

Frowning slightly, Anne Morgan casually commented "Isn't it obvious? They killed your soldiers."

[A/N: In case you forgot, Anne Morgan is the grandmother of the Morgan family.]

With a face red with fury, the woman exclaimed "Can you tell me who the hell we messed with!?"

"They occupied fucking missiles to take out military bases!" Pointing at the screen, the woman continued "But they also killed over 500 people who were doing missions all over the world!"

"Who the hell did we provoke! Because this certainly isn't done by just any asshole!"

"Alice, calm down" Looking at her daughter coldly, Anne whispered.

"How do you want me to calm down!?" Waving her hands furiously, Alice continued "I've been working with this group for 8 years to transform it into the biggest mercenary group in the world!"

"And because of something you did it disappeared for one damn day!"

"Do you know how much money I invested in them?"

"Billions of dollars in weaponry and contracts alone!" Taking a deep breath as she vented her frustrations, Alice finally sighed and rubbed her forehead "Now we will also owe billions more just to give life insurance to those families... and even if we don't want to give it, we would get sued in more than 15 countries!"

"..." Staring at the screen silently for a few seconds, Anne finally chuckled and commented "Looks like we underestimated that kid."

"What kid?"

"Christian Grey."

"That pretty boy?"

"Yeah."

"Why the fuck are we in a war with the pretty boy?"

"Joint decision of the families"

"Oh... so what are we going to do now? We lost quite a bit of money" Having regained her composure, Alice lay down on the couch and asked.

"I don't know" Still smiling, Anne continued "If BlackWater was beaten in such a way, it means that the Chinese failed"

"The Chinese?"

"We were just supposed to provide support while they did the dirty work."

"But we ended up getting beaten"

"Exactly."

"Why are we fighting with the kid?"

"The Rockefellers sent him to jail, the kid gained power and became a threat."

"He certainly is a threat" Not seeming surprised by the information already given, Alice looked at the screen and rubbed her chin "Isn't a marriage possible?"

"I doubt it, in fact he's already known to be a father."

"Is he married?"

"No, in fact we don't even know the mother."

"Mmmm... Then he doesn't seem to give importance to the mother, there are still possibilities to marry him".

"Why so interested? You're already in your 50's, it wouldn't be good for your image to have another husband" Chuckling, Anne commented.

"But for my daughter it would" Rubbing her chin, Alice commented "The child is the sole heir to the Grey conglomerate, he has a private army, great skills, is said to be the smartest person in the world and even his face is heavenly".

"He has the Russians covering his back, we can't force him" Taking a glass of wine from the table, Anne continued "He also has many connections with the Italian mafia, Mexican, Colombian, the Jews and even people from Alqaeda"

"Doesn't that make it better?" laughing, Alice continued "If we manage to marry him into the family, we would have huge additional income. We would strengthen our contacts with Russia and certainly the contacts with the mafias are interesting, the money they move is almost a third of the world's money."

"I know, in fact the other families also seemed interested and it all got screwed up because of Rockefeller" Shrugging, Anne continued "But we can't force the kid without messing with the Russians and the kid himself is not easy to intimidate. Besides, the boy is smart, I doubt he wants to join in marriage with our families knowing that we want to devour everything."

"But when the heart takes the lead, even the smartest becomes stupid" With a smile on her face, Alice commented "We would lose nothing in trying to get some young lady in our family to try her luck"

"We certainly wouldn't lose anything... do whatever it takes, you're the current leader" Shrugging after a few seconds, Anne continued "Just don't do stupid things to provoke the Russians, you know the world stability lately has been very unstable, you could provoke an apocalypse"

"I know" Waving her hand, Alice stood up and stretched her body, then looked at the TV screen with narrowed eyes and snorted "You fucking bastard."

***

2 days passed quickly since that event.

The small town where Christian was staying was filled as never before, but only with uniformed people.

The army and the police hovered around every corner and as expected, the kidnapping of the police did not come to light.

After all they already suffered a small loss of credibility thanks to this attack, they would never want to add fuel to the fire by saying that the police were kidnapped in their own barracks.

Thanks to the commotion, the filming was stopped until further notice and if it wasn't for the airports being closed, Christian would have already gone to see the little girl he misses so much.

But undoubtedly the most important thing that has shaken the world lately, is the large number of deaths left by the attack on BlackWater.

The United States, England, Russia, Mexico, among hundreds of other countries.

There is no newscast that has not talked about it and it certainly left the public shocked.

But how could it not?

In a single night 5000 people died, that's not just any number.

And since the attacker is totally unknown and the affected is a mercenary group with no public affiliation, the media had no qualms in inventing a thousand stories without fear of being censored by the high elite sphere.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

But leaving aside all that hype, today something extremely interesting is happening on the eastern side of the world.

"*Sigh*" Removing her tie from her shirt, a woman of about 55 entered a dark office, then approached the desk and sat down.

Turning on a small gold lamp, the woman opened the desk drawer and pulled out a bottle of rum, then took out a glass and drank in silence.

"Who are you?" Turning her seat toward the window, the woman looked casually at the silhouette sitting on the sofa and asked.

"Xi Shui, the great chairwoman of China's workers' party" Smiling slightly, Envy rested her chin on her fist and commented casually.

"Your Chinese is pretty bad" Taking a swig of Rum, Xi Shui looked at Envy for a few seconds and commented "Did that kid send you?"

"Hoh, did you recognize me?"

"How could I not? It's not hard to look for your former team members" Staring at the rum in his glass with boredom, Xi Shui continued "Now you have 3 minutes to tell me what you want here, if you don't convince me, I'll send your head"

Chuckling, Envy picked up a folder in her clothes and stood up, then tossed it towards Xi Shui's desk and walked towards the elegant bar in the corner of the office.

Pulling out a bottle of whiskey, Envy poured some into the glass and took a sip, then sighed and commented, "Read that and then we'll talk."

Raising his eyebrows, Xi Shui took the folder and opened it, then read it page by page and frowned slightly for a second, then tossed it on the table and asked "What do you want?"

"That's not all yet" Pulling another folder out of his clothes, Envy tossed it on the desk and commented "Read that and we'll get started."

Staring at Envy silently for a few seconds, Xi Shui finally looked down and opened the folder, then read the 10 pages silently and wrinkled his nose unconsciously, then closed the folder and left it on the table.

"Is it a threat?"

The reason for his question is simple.

The first folder contained several images where a daughter of the Long family was sleeping with her husband and son, something she curiously knew how to handle quite well.

But what he couldn't control, is the second folder with information validating that they currently have at least 5 nuclear missiles.

Images, maintenance certificate and obviously the possible lethality.

"Peace" Turning her gaze to Xi Shui, Envy continued "Let's end this little game that will only cause us loss and go for peace."

"You think you have the right to negotiate with my country? With just this?" Looking at the folder with disdain, Xi Shui commented.

"I know that 5 nuclear bombs is almost nothing to the thousands of you, but I know that with those 5 bombs I can make half of China a dead zone" Looking indifferently at Xi Shui, Envy continued "And don't try to threaten me back, because unlike you, we have no base. We can move anywhere and we'll remain stable."

"And even if you have missile defense..." Staring at Xi Shui, Envy continued "What good is it against a nuclear missile? As long as it explodes over their territory the radioactivity will come down to earth if or when it does, they have no way to prevent it."

"..." Looking at Envy for a few seconds, Xi Shui chuckled softly and took his glass of Rum, then took a long drink and asked "You know you guys started this, don't you?"

"Us?" Raising her eyebrows with an amused smile, Envy continued "Wasn't it your nobles who tried to force a compromise on our boss? Or are you forgetting that detail?"

"That was a compromise agreed upon by the English nobility, it's not our fault."

"Then it's the English nobility's fault, not ours" Smiling indifferently, Envy continued "It was that Long girl who started the attacks and it was that old lady Long who tried to attack our boss first. We have recordings and everything we need to validate it, so please let's stop the hypocrisy and speak with facts."

"..."

"The point of all this Ms. Xi Shui, is that we already had an altercation where over 300 Chinese female warriors died under one person, and those who tried to help them ended up being slaughtered. 5000 people in a single night, a large number just because of an altercation caused by an arrogant young lady."

"You have a point" Nodding, Xi Shui looked at his cup for a few seconds and commented "I'm interested in your peace, but what do they offer?"

"Offer?" Raising his eyebrows in amusement, Envy continued "We actually have demands."

"As far as I know peace deserves tributes" Without getting angry, Xi Shui commented.

"Of course it does, but the tribute should be paid by whoever made the mistake, and that's on your heads" Pointing his glass at Xi Shui, Envy continued "We're not unreasonable, we just want the head of whoever planned the attack with the children in Ireland, with that settled, peace will be lasting and we promise not to cause chaos in your territory."
