Chapter 447: Undercurrents are surging
In fact, it's not just Jeremy who thinks so, even Clark has the same concern. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have chosen this time to meet the boss.
Seeing that Jeremy could still think of this, Clark was also deeply pleased, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I think that's what John Piero planned." Mr. Piero, we can't afford to sit still! In case it is really announced, your heir status ......"
Although Clark is genuinely worried about Jeremy, it is also selfish. After all, he's Jeremy's man, and he's going to follow this boss all the way to the dark. If Jeremy is successful, Clark will naturally be able to ascend to heaven. If Jeremy is unlucky, he will likely be the first to fall victim. The two are already in a relationship of "one wins, one loses", which is why Clark is so nervous about Jeremy's future.
Jeremy knew that, of course, but the news came so suddenly that he hesitated for a moment as to what to do.
Seeing that the boss was a little hesitant, Clark leaned in and whispered, "Why don't we find someone to deal with Nicholas again?" There are still three or four days of events, and it should be in time! ”
"No way!" Jeremy quickly rejected Clark's suggestion, frowned, and said: "We have failed twice, the security forces around Nicholas must be stronger, the chance of success is too small, and there is still a possibility of showing our feet, we can't take any more risks." ”
Feeling that Jeremy had a point, Clark couldn't help but nod and said, "But if we don't act as soon as possible, the position of this heir ......"
"I don't care about the position of heir anymore!" Jeremy smiled at Clarke, and a crazy glint appeared in his eyes: "There are quite a few people on our side at the moment. Why are you still only staring at the position of heir? If you have the chance. Can't you just become a patriarch? ”
Clark asked in surprise, "Patriarch?" But ......"
Speaking of which, Clark realized something. Involuntarily widened his eyes and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's right!" Jeremy said with a smug face, "If we kill John and that cheap son before he makes a big announcement, who do you think this patriarch will be?" ”
Clark pondered for a moment and said, "Although there will be some entanglements, you still have the greatest hope." Because you are the heir in the first place, and you have been preparing for so many years, your strength is definitely stronger than others. Without preparation, several others are certainly not your opponents. ”
"That's right." Jeremy said proudly: "As long as I kill both the John Piero father and son first, I will be the head of the Piero family!" ”
Clark nodded approvingly. Then he frowned and said, "But it's not easy to kill them at the same time, I'm afraid we don't have such ability, right?" ”
Jeremy said confidently: "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think." Just in the last few days, the father and son have appeared on the same occasion, and if we can take advantage of the opportunity, the Piero family is about to change owners! ”
Clarke's mind was no longer bright, and at this time he also understood what Jeremy meant, and involuntarily lowered his voice and said, "You mean, it's at that ceremony......"
"Yes!" Jeremy smirked and said, "You go and contact Richard Hammond again, let him make two good moves, and you must get this matter done!" ”
Clark nodded. Then he said with some concern: "We have already looked for him once, and we will do it again now." Fear...... His appetite will be even greater then. ”
"He is not afraid of having a big appetite, but he is afraid that he has no appetite." Jeremy said coldly: "What if you give him half of the family's shady inheritance?" When I take charge of the family, wouldn't it be better to slowly take it back? No matter how arrogant Richard is, he can only dominate the underground world. When the time comes, I will put pressure on him from black and white, and I am not afraid that he will not bow his head obediently! ”
"Yes, you're still thoughtful!" Clark admired his boss so much that he nodded his head in agreement.
Looking at Clark's admiring expression, Jeremy also smirked, as if this had been done, and he was already the patriarch of the Piero family.
Clarke, on the other hand, left the room with admiration on his face and contacted Richard Hammond. In the territory of the Piero family, the assassination of the current patriarch and the only son of the patriarch at the same time is no small matter. So Clark had to get in touch with Richard Hammond as soon as possible so that he had enough time to arrange everything.
Speaking from the heart, Jeremy's plan, while risky, is not without a chance of success. After all, announcing the official admission of Nicholas as a member of the family is a very personal matter. That is, members of the Piero family, as well as people who are very close to the family, will participate.
For such a small gathering, the security measures within the family are not very strong. After all, the guests who come here are usually well-informed, so there is no need to be so nervous.
And with Jeremy's current status within the family, it would be easy to arrange for a few people to get involved. Not to mention him in other ways, even among the armed personnel in charge of security, there are several Jeremy's people. At that time, as long as they are a little "careless", the killer will be able to infiltrate smoothly.
And as long as you are at the scene, no one will notice the killer. The security measures of the Piero family have always been tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and the outside will be very strict, and there will be no security in the infield.
After successfully infiltrating, the killer only needs to seize the opportunity to fire a few shots at the John Piero father and son, and his mission is complete. As long as the John Piero father and son are killed, Jeremy will be the head of the rightful family.
At that time, Jeremy, who had been prepared for a long time, would unite with his supporters and severely suppress other people who coveted the position of patriarch. The strength combined with the rightful heir status is enough to make him the new patriarch of the Piero family.
Jeremy is also full of confidence in this, and even hopes that this day will come as soon as possible. As long as the killer of the Richard-Hammond faction is reliable this time, he will be the patriarch.
It's just that Jeremy didn't know that Jiang Ping had seen through his fortune and knew that he would die recently, and told John Piero about it.
And who was John Piero? Immediately, through this clue, it was guessed that Jeremy was likely to do something in the family's ceremony of accepting Nicholas.
Speaking of which, John Piero also stood out from the fierce competition at the beginning, which made it difficult to become the head of the Piero family. And after becoming the head of the family, he also went through many hardships and obstacles to lead the Piero family to its current prosperous state.
So for John Piero, Jeremy's tricks may be a bit threatening in the dark, but if they are really on the table, it will be a piece of cake.
Although John Piero still has no reaction on the surface, he has actually secretly launched an arrangement against Jeremy. Compared to Jeremy, who was nothing more than an heir, John Piero had much more resources at his disposal.
Whether it's resources inside or outside the family, Jeremy simply can't compare to John Piero. And the biggest difference is the power they have in their private hands.
Don't look at Jeremy, it seems that he has a group of loyal subordinates, and he has a close relationship with the family rival Richard Hammond, and he seems to be very powerful. But in fact, if John Piero's power were to be made public, it would be enough to scare this guy and ensure that there will be no more such nonsense.
It's a pity that John Piero is very similar to Jiang Ping in some ways, both are very low-key people. They are not accustomed to showing their full strength, preferring to carefully guard their secrets and surprise others only when they need to.
This is the case with John Piero today, who secretly used most of his power in response to Jeremy's schemes. These forces encompass all aspects, many of which are unknown to even his most trusted assistants.
These forces are like a huge machine, and they quickly start to work. In just a few days, a lot has been achieved.
John Piero not only got hold of Jeremy's plan, but also knew that he would collude with Richard Hammond to do it to himself and his son. And he even knows who the killer is, how many people there are, and when he will do it.
With this information, it is much easier to deal with this conspiracy. John Piero recruited several of his men whom he had secretly trained for many years to keep himself and his son safe.
These men had nothing to do with the Piero family, but only John Piero himself, and had never even appeared in front of other family members. Today, John Piero doesn't trust anyone within the family, only these powers, which are truly and entirely his own.
At the same time, John Piero instructed the other members of the family to carefully prepare for the ceremony of receiving Nicholas. His secrecy is so good that no one knows that under the seemingly calm appearance, the patriarch and the heir have their own plans, secretly planning how to put each other to death.
Under the undercurrent, the days passed, and the day of the ceremony finally came. Today is a big day for both the Nicholas and Piero families. Many important family members came to witness the new members joining the family.
Relatively speaking, the family members who came relatively early were all family members who were more closely related to John Piero and his sons. Before the ceremony began, these men would meet privately with the John-Piero father and son, both to congratulate Nicholas and to discuss something inhumane.
Among these important family members, there is an "outsider" who is particularly eye-catching, he is Nicholas's friend, John Piero's guest, Jiang Ping. (To be continued......)
