Chapter 822: Chapter 260 Important Figures Gather, Betting on Sinless City Part 3
Listening to this, it sounds like the assassin was hired by the Song Family’s wealth?
Unexpectedly, the assassin remained unmoved and step by step, he walked over with the dagger in hand.
Senator Kean had turned deathly pale with fear, but being a politician, when temptation failed, he said, “Quintu, you dare to assassinate a senator, from today onwards, you and your family will have nowhere to hide in the entire Federation!”
Unexpectedly, at these words, Quintu actually stopped.
However, it seemed as if he deliberately wanted some words to be heard and he openly said, “I’m repaying a past kindness I owe. Senator, you shouldn’t have targeted the head of the Song Family.”
With a glance, Kean caught sight of the second master of the Song Family lying in a pool of blood, already a corpse, and his expression turned even uglier.
It was impossible for a legend to repay a favor.
If he had known the Song Family had such a move up their sleeve, he would never have rashly taken the lead.
Watching the assassin getting closer step by step, Kean still refused to give up hope. He suddenly shouted towards every floor of the Flood Gang building, “Senator Robert, I know you’re here, save me! If I die here today, my ‘New Party’ senators will definitely not let this go… ”
As this cry rang out, some big figures who originally just wanted to watch the drama could no longer remain indifferent.
After all, Kean was a new faction senator in the Federation, and he had a lot of supporters.
On these words, a window on the third floor also opened.
A stoic-faced elderly gentleman stood by the window.
He knew Kean was trying to drag him into the mess.
They were colleagues in the Federation who would normally see each other often, but having been called out, he had to lend a hand.
But at this moment, Robert had no intention of helping at all, he only glanced once and said indifferently, “After all, this is a matter for the Song Family themselves. How they deal internally is none of our business as outsiders. But if someone from outside wants to meddle, I, the Morton Family, would have to give face to ‘that person.’ How they handle it is not for me, an outsider, to interfere with. Mr. Miller, don’t you agree?”
At these words, the vast Flood Gang building fell silent.
Those who had the position to watch the drama certainly understood the Federation’s situation.
Hearing this name, they knew that the one speaking must be Robert Morton, one of the five great senators.
And the only one who could be addressed as “Mr. Miller” by him would be another one of the five great senators, from the Miller Family, Ralph Miller.
Kean dragged Robert into the fray, not willing to take on the parliament’s fire alone; he immediately pulled another major senator into the water.
Upon hearing this, the Millers, who were also major senators, also helplessly showed their faces.
From a window on the fourth floor, a middle-aged man smoking a cigar responded, “That’s right, Senator Robert is correct. We outsiders should not meddle in the Song Family’s internal affairs.”
As he spoke, this major senator looked at other rooms and called out, “You think so too, right Miss Olin, Old Capen? Oh, and that girl from the Lionheart Family.”
In his mention of three, “Miss Olin” was naturally someone from the Gold Family of the five great senators, and “Capen” was also a surname of the five great senators.
From the Lionheart Family, it was naturally Catherine who had come.
They were all old foxes, not missing a beat.
He wanted everyone to be dragged into the fray to share the firing squad.
But this was a tacit understanding among these old foxes who had played politics for generations.
Once he spoke up, the other families also responded in kind.
“I think Mr. Miller is right. My Orin family has also owed ‘that person’ many favors over the years. We will absolutely not meddle in the internal affairs of the Song Family,” one said.
“Coincidentally, ‘that person’ also has many connections with our Old Man, we definitely won’t intervene in the Song Family’s internal matters. If they need help, our Capen Family will also lend a hand,” another added.
“All the uncles have spoken, and my old master shares the same sentiment,” chimed in another voice.
“Heh, the old lion has actually sent little Catherine… It seems your Lionheart Family is about to produce a fierce new lion,” a voice teased.
“Uncle Capen, Uncle Robert, Uncle Miller, Aunt Olin… I’ve embarrassed my elders. Grandfather originally wanted to come in person, but his health has been failing recently, and by chance, I was already in Sinless City, so here I am…,” Catherine responded.
With a few words exchanged among the five, the fate of a senator had been sealed.
Even with the New Party in its heyday, their unified stance meant nothing could change.
Senator Kean had not expected that his plea for help would bring together such significant figures.
With such an assembly, it’s unlikely that even a full Federation council would see these major senators in person.
But hearing their words, Kean felt utterly disheartened in an instant.
He had come to realize that these old foxes had long been waiting for this setup, using the hand of the Song Family to eliminate him, the “New Party senator.”
Asking for help? Pure delusion.
But to think of me dead?
Suddenly, Kean’s expression twisted into something wicked and fierce.
Miller Family, Morton Family, Gold Family of Orin, Capen… and the White Family who had appeared earlier.
All five great senatorial families sent representatives.
And also the one known as “the sixth senator,” the Lionheart Family.
Leonard Churchill, who was watching the excitement from afar, saw the big figures appearing one after another upstairs, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He, too, had not expected to see such influential figures of the Federation in Sinless City.
Even though he had no interest in politics, things were becoming clearer now.
The Song Family’s internal struggle was not the only issue, it also involved the shaking of the Federation’s political landscape.
However, while some understood politics, others understood something different.
