Although it was a little surprising that John Piero asked Jiang Ping to attend such an occasion. However, considering that he saved Nicholas twice, the other family members also found it acceptable.

However, these people don't know that John Piero attaches so much importance to Jiang Ping, not just because he saved Nicholas. In addition, John Piero also attaches great importance to Jiang Ping's ability to predict the future, which is why he invited him to this small party.

The fact that Jiang Ping is eligible to attend this gathering shows that he is already a member of John Piero's inner circle. Even within the Piero family, there were no more than ten such people.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of other members of the Piero family, Jiang Ping behaved very indifferently. He had experienced a much bigger scene than this in his previous life, and it was just a few family members, which didn't make Jiang Ping feel nervous at all.

On the contrary, Nicholas next to him was both excited and a little uneasy, constantly looking around, looking not calm.

Seeing this, Jiang Ping reminded in a low voice: "Steady the point, don't look like you haven't seen the world." These are your father's henchmen, and you have to give them faith!"

was reminded by Jiang Ping, Nicholas also came to his senses, and hurriedly made a calm appearance, which looked quite like that.

Seeing that Nicholas immediately restrained a lot, Jiang Ping also nodded secretly in his heart. After coming into contact with Nicholas recently, Jiang Ping feels that his ability is actually good, but because he is young, he sometimes seems a little impetuous. I believe that after experiencing more big scenes, this problem can be changed.

Jiang Ping secretly commented on Nicholas in his heart, completely unaware of it. That's what middle-aged people think at all. But it's no wonder. After all, he has the soul of an uncle. It is also normal to have such an opinion about Nicholas.

At this moment, John Piero strode in, and he was not polite, and said directly to the crowd: "Guys, I have something to tell you!"

The others, accustomed to John Piero's resolute style, all fell silent and waited to hear him.

"I get the exact news that Richard Hammond's people will be at the ceremony in a moment. Assassinate me and Nicholas!" John Piero said the astonishing news to the crowd with a calm expression.

As soon as John Piero finished speaking, everyone present was taken aback. This news is so shocking that it is simply beyond everyone's imagination. No one believed that Richard Hammond would come up with such a crazy plan.

"This is war, Richard Hammond has already waged a war against us!" A member of the clan who had a temper tantrum immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said loudly, "We must fight him, fight!"

For these family members, the assassination of Nicholas did not affect them much. Although Nicholas is the son of John Piero, he has not officially entered the family after all. Even if he is killed, it will not harm the interests of other family members.

And John Piero is the patriarch of the Piero family, and he is still the big backer of these people here. If even he is killed. But these people will certainly be implicated, and it is no wonder that they are so indignant.

However, another long-established family member questioned John Piero's statement: "We have tight security here, how can those killers come in and open the killing ring?"

John Piero smiled faintly at the others and said, "Because there is a traitor in the family, he will secretly let those killers in!"

Hearing John Piero mention the "traitor", Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile slightly. Of course, Jiang Ping had already guessed who this mole was, and John Piero would mention it in public, indicating that he had investigated it clearly.

There was actually a traitor of Richard Hammond in the family, which made the others present even more surprised, and they asked who was so bold and dared to betray the family.

Since John Piero announced this in public, of course, he will no longer hide it, and immediately tell everyone loudly: "This person is Jeremy Piero!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused an exclamation. No one thought that the biggest opponent of the collusion family was actually the heir of the family.

But thinking about the rumors that have appeared recently, everyone is quickly relieved. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable for Jeremy, and if he wants to keep his current position or even go further, it makes sense to take such a risky move.

The hot-tempered family member couldn't help it again, slammed the table and said loudly: "This little bastard raised by a son of a bitch, why don't we arrange it now, and when this bastard arrives, we will take the lead in killing him!"

Unfortunately, this suggestion was only supported by one or two people, and many more felt that it was irrational. After all, Jeremy is also the heir of the family at present, and unless there is very conclusive evidence accusing him of doing these things, the first move will only give Jeremy a chance to cry out.

If John Piero can't produce strong evidence by then, it will definitely make the rest of the family feel that the patriarch's rewards and punishments are unknown. When you think about Nicholas's return to the family, some people will definitely think that this is a conspiracy by John Piero to strip Jeremy of his heir title and pave the way for his own son.

You must know that the reason why Jeremy can become the heir to the family, in addition to the fact that he is closest to John Piero, another important factor is that he also has a lot of supporters. The intellectuals feared that John Piero's accusations alone would not convince the public and that the family would be in danger of being divided.

The two sides each explained their own reasons, but neither could convince the other, and they were noisy for a while, but they could not reach a unified conclusion.

And Jiang Ping, who watched coldly, found that John Piero just let these people argue endlessly, and had no intention of stopping it. And he also looks confident, obviously he has a plan for a long time.

This is exactly what happened, and after a while of discussion, John Piero raised his voice and said: "Everyone, I already know how to deal with this matter. Now I just ask you to cooperate with my plan and promise to let the rest of the family see Jeremy's true colors!"

John Piero is also the patriarch no matter what he says, and the people present are all his henchmen, since John Piero has made a decision, the others will not say anything more, and they have expressed that they will cooperate with his plan.

With the support of these people, it is equivalent to mastering most of the power of the family. John Piero was also very satisfied with this, and nodded with a smile: "If it turns out that Jeremy is indeed a traitor, he is definitely not qualified to be in charge of the family." After a period of investigation, I feel that Nicholas's ability is not bad. If I support him for a while, he will still be able to manage the family in the future, what do you think?"

When John Piero said this, he was asking these henchmen to express their support for his son. Of course, everyone understood what he meant, and the patriarch's position would not be their turn anyway, so they nodded in agreement with John Piero's arrangement.

With the support of so many important family figures, John Piero couldn't help but be secretly proud. As long as it can be proved that Jeremy has indeed betrayed the family, then Nicholas can be safely the heir to the family.

Just as John Piero was discussing Jeremy with the others, he also arrived at the ceremony, accompanied by two of his men.

Although Jeremy tried to pretend to be the same as usual, his flickering gaze still made him look a little nervous. For Jeremy, it's impossible not to be nervous. Because he knew that soon this place would become a battlefield, and he didn't know how many people would fall in a pool of blood.

And bullets don't have eyes, and Jeremy's biggest fear is that he will be hit by a stray bullet, and the second is that he is afraid that John Piero and his son will not be killed. As long as neither of these happens, Jeremy Piero will be the head of a new generation of the Piero family.

"I hope Richard's killer will be clever and don't let me down again!" Looking at the rostrum just a few steps away, Jeremy couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.

At the same moment, several unidentified but well-dressed men approached the venue from an unobtrusive direction. And the bodyguards who patrolled the perimeter of the venue seemed to turn a blind eye to these people, and let them walk in front of them in a big way. A strange man even nodded to the bodyguard, as if they had a tacit understanding before.

These strange men, of course, are the killers sent by Richard. According to the agreement with Jeremy, the bodyguards who took refuge in him would let these killers in, so it is no wonder that there are still killers who greet these bodyguards.

It seemed that he was not very accustomed to the greetings of the killer, and the bodyguard just waved them to hurry away. It's no wonder that the bodyguard reacted like this, after all, his current behavior is betraying the family, and it would be very bad if he was seen.

The killers also understood this truth, and immediately quickened their pace and walked towards the venue. But before they could get any far, the bodyguards quietly glanced at each other, then pulled out the silencer pistol in their arms, aimed at the killers, and pulled the trigger.

Those killers didn't expect that the allies who had just let themselves pass the test would actually shoot in the back. With a few muffled "poofs", all the killers fell headlong to the ground, never able to get up.

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, refueled each killer with two shots without looking, and then gestured not far away. Immediately, several similarly well-dressed people appeared from their hideouts and entered the venue in place of several killers. The bodyguards dragged away all the bodies of the real killers, and everything quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

In the expectation of both sides, a good show began. (To be continued......)
