Chapter 720: 591 Lone Force Crushing! Diviner [1 Update]
Hearing this, Jerman’s expression changed.
It was indeed offensive to be asked so bluntly by a junior if he knew about how his ancestor died.
“Miss Ying is truly amusing,” Jerman’s eyes became a few degrees sharper, “Vincent Pazzi, as one of the most outstanding heads of the Pazzi Family, certainly did not die a mediocrity, as the history books of O Continent also record.”
“At that time, the border regions of O Continent were constantly riddled with war, and Vincent Pazzi was ordered by the Holy Pontiff to go on a campaign. He fought until the last second, holding the city until he passed away from exhaustion.”
Speaking, Jerman’s tone grew more excited: “Our ancestor is a role model for all, a figure everyone ought to revere!”
In the central park of the city where the Pazzi Family is located, there stands a bronze statue of Vincent.
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, her tone nonchalant: “However, I heard that he died while hunting, falling from his horse, and then plummeting into a trap set for the game, where eighteen spikes in the bottom of the trap pierced his body.”
“His head, limbs, and abdomen were all impaled. It’s just a shame that it was pouring rain that day, and no one noticed his absence.”
“By the time he was found, his body was already stiff, attracting crows and other scavenging creatures, not even a complete corpse was left behind.”
Jerman’s complexion finally changed significantly, and his gaze became a few degrees more sinister as he sneered continuously: “What kind of unofficial history has Miss Ying been reading to dare to slander the Pazzi Family ? And such disrespect for Vincent’s ancestor?!”
Although he spoke thus, Jerman was truly horrified.
Because that was indeed the true manner of Vincent Pazzi’s death.
It all started with a prophecy from the Diviner.
Even before this prophecy, although the Diviner had already foretold the downfall of the mightiest dynasty on O Continent as well as the deaths of all its royal members, the Pazzi Family did not take it seriously.
The Pazzi Family had its own Fortune Tellers, and they did not believe the Diviner’s prophecy was an ironclad fact.
Any future could be changed, as long as a certain price was paid.
But in the end, nobody expected Vincent to die exactly as the prophecy described.
It was this incident that made the Pazzi Family realize that the Diviner was incomparable to ordinary Fortune Tellers.
The Diviner’s prophecies could not be altered by anyone.
But having become enemies with the Lorentz Family, they had missed the best opportunity to make nice with the Diviner.
Later, when Xize died, and the Diviner disappeared, the Pazzi Family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
History is always in the hands of those in power.
The Pazzi Family altered that part of history.
The truth about Vincent’s death was now unknown even to the younger generations within the family.
Such a manner of death was too ignoble for a former head of a Financial Consortium.
Ying Zijin did not show the slightest urgency, her voice still calm: “I saw it with my own eyes, his death was indeed tragic.”
Vincent was indeed one of the most outstanding family heads in the history of the Pazzi Family, but his methods were also more brutal.
During that period, members of the Lorentz Family were continuously harmed.
It was he who had sent assassins after Xize Laurent multiple times.
It just so happened that he failed in the end and died instead.
“Miss Ying really knows how to joke,” Jerman laughed in spite of his anger, “Enough now, I didn’t invite you here to discuss history with you.”
He pressed a bell, calling his secretary.
The secretary came over with a document, placing it on the table.
“This is the contract,” Jerman said indifferently, “The Pazzi Family sees great potential in Chuguang Media and plans to turn it into an international entertainment conglomerate.”
“As the Executive Director of Chuguang Media, Miss Ying should be aware of the huge difference between operating domestically and internationally. Of course, we guarantee that Miss Ying will retain her original position, but Chuguang Media will have to accept the control of the family.”
Ying Zijin glanced at it.
This was an acquisition document.
Indeed, although Chuguang Media had already broken into the international entertainment industry, becoming a giant would still require at least five more years.
Ying Zijin’s gaze lifted gently: “The Pazzi Family indeed always has good intentions.”
“Don’t be upset, Miss Ying,” Jerman chuckled nonchalantly, “I’m sure you’ve heard how we acquired that company last year. Just agree, and the benefits will be substantial; we won’t keep you trapped for long.”
“But if you disagree, all the executives of Chuguang Media will have to come and ‘visit’ the Pazzi Family.”
This was an outright threat.
