Chapter 88: Who wants to kill Henry?
"Laura was taken away by Henry again."
Anna gritted her teeth when she said this, "When are you going to make a move against Beckett?"
This way, Henry can be implicated in the Tiger Gang rebellion incident.
"Why the rush? It's coming soon," Giulio said calmly, " If things are exposed, at most I would lose face, but you, you would even lose your life. The prestigious leader of the Costa family, having an affair with a steward."
"What's wrong with a steward? It's better than you. You're getting old, all you can do is watch!" Anna's words were filled with ammunition and at the same time hinted at Giulio's reluctance to deal with Henry.
"You fool! Killing Henry is easy, but you think we can easily guarantee that all those who know the truth will be eliminated? Who knows whom Henry has told?!" Giulio exclaimed angrily. "Only those involved in the rebellion case will have the chance to be completely eliminated if they have any connection to Henry."
At this moment, Anna suddenly interjected, "What about our family? Laura's relationship with him is almost transparent. If Henry is accused of treason, our family will also be under scrutiny."
"You're just realizing that?" Giulio replied sarcastically. "I have already made up my mind long ago, and this will expedite the eradication of Beckett and Henry."
"Elijah, Harold's son, has always been interested in Laura. But she doesn't like him. however, that doesn't matter."
"When Henry appeared, it was after he fought against the Russo family's heir and then he reestablished his relationship with Laura. Laura likes the idea of a hero saving her, so let's have Elijah do the same."
"I have found trustworthy people. Today, when Laura returns, they will be waiting to ambush her along her usual route. They will pretend to kidnap her. Henry is just a fool hiding under Nicholas's wing, always plotting schemes. He won't be able to save Laura. And when she feels hopeless, Elijah will appear with his men. Imagine how she will feel then."
Giulio grinned confidently. "Elijah is not only good-looking, but also surpasses Henry in family background and status. What does Henry have to compete with him?"
"After this is done, dealing with Harold will be easier. The three legions will launch a direct assault on Tiger Gang, and we will also send some people to eliminate Henry and his gang! Henry will take his secrets to the grave!"
After listening to Giulio's plan, Anna remained silent for a moment. She was somewhat surprised by her husband's plan to kidnap their daughter, but after thinking for a while, she didn't say anything else and left the study.
The moment the door closed, both individuals inside and outside the study spewed derogatory words, muttering, "Idiot/whore!"
Anna called Giulio an idiot because she understood much better than him that Laura was going to be with Henry.
Kidnapping Laura and relying on Elijah to be her hero may have been effective a few years ago, but now it will only make Laura detest Elijah even more.
When conflicts arise between them again, if Elijah's family doesn't turn against them, it would be considered fortunate. How could they expect them to help the four major families deal with Beckett?
Anna wanted to point this out, but she knew Giulio would never believe her. So, she had to find a way on her own.
"Let's kill Henry. Even if his friends have the information, they may not disclose the secret right away. Once Henry is dead, Laura will be heartbroken. Only then can Elijah go and be her hero."
Originally, Evil Shadow was the most professional assassin, but now Evil Shadow's inexplicable demise left Freton City without any reliable organization.
However, it's not like there's only Freton City to look for an assassin in.
Anna grinned to herself, contacting her informant and preparing to put Henry's name on the blacklists in Diony Country.
Having spent so many years in the Costa family, she had a wide network of contacts and quickly, in countless underground forces, a new name appeared on the lists.
"Henry from Freton City, ostracized son of the Miller family, with a reward of fifty million dollars for a guaranteed kill!"
Suddenly, many assassin organizations started stirring with interest.
"Freton City? What notable person could they have that is worth being assassinated for fifty million dollars? Fifty million dollars is quite a sum, this is an easy way to get your hands on it, you can even consider it a vacation."
"Hurry, let's go. If we're too slow, we'll lose out on this opportunity. This is a great mission, high reward but low difficulty!"
Within an hour of the list appearing, countless strangers with various expressions and a faint aura of killing intent began to appear on planes, high-speed trains, and well-funded assassin organizations even arranged helicopters to arrive in Freton City.
There was only one target, but too many people wanted to complete the job. Some knew each other, some were from rival assassin organizations.
After meeting, in order to ensure their own organization could complete the mission, they acted preemptively, planning to eliminate or at least drive away their competitors first, then they could easily kill the target.
There were quite a few assassins with this idea. For a while, shooting incidents occurred frequently throughout Freton City. In some areas, even rocket launchers appeared, causing several residential buildings to collapse.
Freton City was in a state of distress due to this situation. After finally capturing a few of the assassins and interrogating them, they discovered the truth.
"Somebody put Henry's name on the blacklist."
Enrico felt a twisted sense of delight, hoping to see Henry dead immediately.
"Who could be in such a hurry to have put out such a big reward? If Henry dies, Nicholas will be shocked, and our opportunities afterward will be difficult to implement." Jasper rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Publicly, continue to arrest the assassins, but give orders not to put too much effort into it. Also, release those assassins who have already been captured."
"Henry is as good as dead. Better let him die quickly so that these organizations can stop causing trouble in Freton City."
After a momentary pause, Jasper suddenly asked, "Enrico, did you put Henry's name on the blacklist?"
Enrico smiled bitterly and said, "It really wasn't me. I do want Henry dead, but I value the overall situation. Compared to Beckett and Nicholas, this Henry is not worth mentioning at all."
Jasper looked at him with doubt, but seeing Enrico's calmness, he temporarily felt relieved. If Enrico really intended to harm someone, it would only mean that Enrico lacks integrity.
After all, he had actually considered marrying his daughter to him. Jasper knew that Enrico had intentions towards his daughter, but he also knew that Enrico couldn't possibly be interested in her. It was simply a desire for the Harris family's power.
But this was also normal. Wasn't he, Jasper, also coveting the strength of the Lewis family? "Enrico trusts me so much. If I can turn him into my son-in-law, perhaps the Lewis family can be drawn into the Harris family. Then it will be the three major families, no, haha, it should be only the Harris family reigning supreme!"
