Chapter 1128

The Perez family had never encountered such a thing before. In the past, when they encountered challenges, they eventually won, but this time...

This matter is destined not to be easily resolved. Making a choice is a difficult thing, so Bob gave them two days.

"Go back and think about it carefully. If you have a result, be prepared and pack up your valuable things."

"Two years later, we will first go to Bruce Town, and then go to sea to Slader."

After he said this, more than half of the people in the room left, and the remaining ones were Bob's die-hard supporters.

When people had almost left, the person standing by the door closed the door again. He looked at the eyes of those outside the door looking back into the room, which were cut off by the slowly closing door.

After confirming that the door was locked, he turned back and still stood by the wall.

"What do you plan to do?", asked someone very close to Bob.

Bob sat there, leaning against the chair, his ten fingers touching each other, placed in front of him. This is a typical state of thinking; he is thinking.

After about ten seconds, he came back to his senses, "I don't plan to leave."

Everyone in the room was stunned, and then some people had surprised expressions on their faces, "Is this matter not that serious?"

Others immediately thought of something.

If Fran leaves and Bob doesn't, then Bob is clearly the supreme ruler of the Perez family. Is this a way for him to acquire his own power?

Although they don't know how Bob persuaded Fran, it is clearly a good thing. The scale of tens of thousands of members of the Perez family, the huge economic strength, and the five major families of the Federation all mean that these honors, which originally belonged to all the personnel of the family, will be put into their own pockets by Bob and them.

Looking at the surprised smiles on these people's faces, Bob knew what they were thinking. He shook his head, "No, it's not like that. The situation is very grim, and there is no problem with what I described."

"It might even be worse than I described!"

"I am staying behind just because I want to fight for it."

He stood up and walked to the window. On the ground outside, some people who had just left the room were getting into cars or walking to other buildings. They might be going to Fran's side to seek answers.

Bob lit a cigarette. His gaze retracted from the outside and fell on these people, "I don't ask you all to stay behind. Just like I said just now, choose freely."

"This is an opportunity, and also a challenge, but it might also be a ticket to death."

"I hope you are mentally prepared before making a choice. Once the situation we face is worse than I imagined, we won't even have a chance to regret it."

He roughly described the current bad situation in more detail.

Attacking Lans brought very serious consequences, which was something they hadn't expected at all. If Bob were given another chance, he would definitely not do it.

They couldn't afford the consequences, but it was too late to say these things now. He just wanted to gamble once.

Perhaps it was the indulgence of the federal government over the years that gradually made them lose their sense of awe. Some family members even felt that attacking federal government officials was nothing.

Bob also realized at this moment that he was actually just as arrogant and ignorant as these people.

And he also understood that the crazy expansion and arrogance of the gangs were not because they were strong enough, but because someone was indulging them.

In fact, even at this moment, Bob was still gambling. He was gambling that the Perez family wouldn't necessarily be eliminated. After all, they... are one of the five major families of the Federation!

Bob made a choice, which urged others to make a choice.

Some people decided to leave. If the situation is really that bad, then leaving is the most correct choice.

And they have money. This money can allow them to live very well overseas, in Slader, or other places.

Recently, a term has been circulating in the media called "Federal Sphere of Influence," which talks about the scope of the Federation's influence internationally after this war, as well as some changes brought to the world.

In the "Federal Sphere of Influence," the influence and social weight of federal people will obviously be higher than that of local people. In other words, they will live very happily in these places.

Interestingly, the living weight index of federal people in Dantela is lower than in Slader. As a conquered area, it is actually unfavorable for federal people to live, possibly because of national hatred and family grudges.

But in Slader, this situation is much better, which is also the reason why Fran's friend suggested they go to Slader.

"Has it really reached the point where we must leave?", someone asked.

Bob nodded, "Honestly, I decided to stay behind, and I don't know if this choice is right. I can't promise you any results, so on this matter, I won't ask you to stay behind or leave. You decide for yourselves."

"Of course, the consequences will also be borne by you."

These words seem very rational and neutral, but it is this rationality and neutrality that sets off a sense of despair, which Bob himself might not have noticed.

People soon dispersed. They also have to consider whether they are willing to stay and gamble with Bob, or leave for safety?

The entire core layer of the Perez family suddenly became quiet, and the energetic figures of those core members appearing in the family industry could no longer be seen.

Two quiet days.

Two days later, Fran returned to the family in a wheelchair. Seeing Fran again, everyone's emotions had some changes.

It might be a kind of joy under pessimistic emotions. They took the initiative to surround him, greet him, and ask after him.

Fran's mood was also a bit better, "Has Bob told you?"

People nodded one after another. Fran still had some difficulty speaking now. Bob walked over and handed him the writing board, "Let's write."

Fran nodded, "What is your choice (write)?"

People began to state their decisions. Some wanted to stay; they believed that the Perez family had stood in the Federation for so many years and couldn't be defeated by one accident.

But some chose to leave. They believed in Fran's judgment; the Federation was no longer a fertile soil suitable for their survival.

Seeing these people's choices, Fran didn't express anything. Finally, his gaze fell on Bob beside him.

Bob knew that Fran was asking him, but he didn't say it; he used his eyes.

"I... plan to stay behind."

Fran didn't seem that surprised. He just stared at Bob for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "Then the clansmen here and everything here, I will leave it to you to take care of (write)."

Bob breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a bit worried that Fran would refuse or say something else. His words now were what Bob wanted to see most, almost equivalent to entrusting the family to him.

In other words, he is already the actual ruler of the Perez family in the Federation!

This is his long-cherished wish for many years.

"I will take good care of the family. If there is an opportunity, I will do my best to fight for some opportunities. When we develop again, you can still come back."

Fran had a faint, almost invisible smile on his face. Even if what Bob said was true and he could do it, Fran wouldn't come back.

Now when he leaves, he leaves as the head of the family, but when he comes back, he won't be.

He felt that he might not have a chance to come back either.

He patted Bob's hand, "Everything will get better (write)!"

Next, it was arranging for everyone to leave. They specially got some cars reinforced with steel plates and used solid tires, just to avoid the Lans family intercepting them on the way.

They carried a large amount of cash and valuables that could be carried with them and left. Only a portion of the money in the bank was used, and quite a bit was left here, left to Bob, and... those hunters.

Eliminating the Perez family is not just a "hard work," and it shouldn't just be "hard work." Those people always have to gain something from the collapse of a big family. This is consistent with his understanding of these people.

These things happened very quickly. A notice had been made two days in advance, and preparations had been made. Soon, a mighty motorcade left the Perez family, containing their core members and key wealth.

Fran sat in the car in the middle, a car modified from a van, using more steel plates for reinforcement to ensure that bullets could not penetrate from the outside.

His son sat beside him with some confusion on his face, "Must we leave?"

Fran just squinted at him, which made this middle-aged man realize that he had asked a stupid question. He hurriedly explained, "I'm just worried about Bob."

Fran shook his head, "What you are worried about is whether Bob can successfully guard the family's industry, worried that he will gain real power (write)!"

This made his son a bit embarrassed. Over the years, his son had always lived in his shadow, and Fran didn't trust these children.

Rather than letting them touch power, he would rather let Bob or others touch family power, because he knew very well that these people were not direct blood relatives to him.

The basis for them to hold power is his permission.

In other words, if he wants to take back their power, he only needs a phone call, or to indicate at a family meeting that he no longer trusts these people, or that these people have other work.

Then the power in their hands will return to his own hands.

But his children are different, direct bloodline, and his own son, the future heir. Once he masters family power, he will really take away his power.

Some people in the family will lean towards his children in advance, thus creating an awkward situation.

So he never gave his children any rights beyond what they should have. He is a "stingy" father.

The middle-aged man whose thoughts were seen through didn't refute, just kept his mouth shut.

Fran shook his head again, "He is dead for sure, there is no need to worry about this point, so in fact, no one will fight with you for power (write)."

"What belongs to you will eventually belong to you (write)."

"Going to Slader this time is perhaps indeed an opportunity. That side is in a period of development, society is chaotic, the system is incomplete, and more importantly, we are federal people, and we have more privileges (write)."

"Without solid evidence, no one can judge us. This is a diplomatic incident (write)!"

In Fran's description, a gradually unfolding scroll full of hope and future appeared in front of the middle-aged man, and he seemed to have gained some confidence.

The motorcade sped on the road, and many eyes were watching what was happening here.

"Just let them leave like this?", the bearded director looked at the distant sky with red eyes. He didn't seem to be looking at the sky, not the clouds, but Fran's old face!

Lans, who was talking to him, laughed twice, "Decency, my friend, do you know what decency is?"

"Decency is you taking care of my mood, and I taking care of your mood."

"Behind Fran are two senators. Although they didn't protect Fran, they also expressed their thoughts."

"Eliminate the Perez family, but spare Fran."

"It's easy to do it now, just stop them and then kill them."

"But this will also offend those big shots who have already made trade-offs."

"However, my friend, you can rest assured."

"As soon as they leave the scope of the Federation, I guarantee that they will receive the punishment they deserve."

Hearing this, the bearded director breathed out a turbid breath, "I'm just a bit unwilling."

"I want to take revenge for my family, Fran, and Bob."

Lans thought for a while, "Fran might not be handed over to you to deal with. You know, he is very critical. If you contact him, you have to bear some consequences. You understand what I mean."

"But Bob can be handed over to you, deal with him however you want."

Perhaps this is the best result. The bearded man also knew very well that Fran might know some secrets of big shots. If it wasn't Lans contacting him directly, but someone like the bearded director, some people might feel that he had contacted secrets, and there was a possibility of leaking secrets.

This kind of silencing happens frequently in the Federation. Sometimes they don't need any evidence; as long as there is a suspicion, they can make people shut their mouths forever.

Although a bit unwilling, as the mastermind of the whole thing, Bob could fall into his hands, he was still very satisfied, and it could be worthy of his dead wife and children.

"When are you coming over?"

Eliminating the Perez family definitely requires Lans to be present in person. This relates to the coordination of many interests, and without Lans sitting in town, the bearded director felt that some accidents might happen.

Lans seemed to be flipping through something. After a while, he said, three days later.

The bearded director sighed slowly. The rampant Perez family has only three days left.

In New Jincheng, Lans put down the phone. Major General Bruny was sitting beside him. All the calls were made in front of Major General Bruny.

Lans turned to look at him, "Fran has left the old city. They are going to take the sea route to go to sea and go to Slader."

Major General Bruny looked at him with some confusion, "So, what does this have to do with me?"

Lans said softly, "Compensation, my friend!"

"They carried at least millions in assets, maybe even more. Don't you want some compensation?"

"Suffered fright and attack, and you just let it go like this?"

Suddenly realizing what Lans was saying, Major General Bruny's breathing suddenly became heavy. If it were tens of thousands of dollars, he could say "forget it" and treat it as if nothing happened.

But millions in wealth, and... as long as these people are killed, these are all his!

How could he not be tempted?

But he was also a bit hesitant, "But the other side said to let them leave."

Lans moved to his side, "Didn't they leave?"

"Everyone watched them get on the boat. Do we have to personally send them to Slader, settle them down, before it counts as them leaving?"

"Come on!"

"This is a statement, an attitude. Our attitude is in place, and they won't care about the rest."

Major General Bruny's breathing was slightly heavy, "Then... what do we do?"

Lans had more smiles on his face, "First, we need a gunboat..."

After two days of bumping, Fran finally came to the boat.

They directly chartered a small cruise ship, and a large amount of supplies were moved onto the boat. It is said that there is also cash calculated by "square."

These are the capital for the Perez family to make a comeback in Slader.

Fran was pushed in a wheelchair by his son, located at the edge of the deck. He looked at the small town not far away, which, although not prosperous, was very kind. This might be the last time in his life he would come into contact with these sceneries of the Federation.

He looked carefully, wanting to deeply remember everything in his mind.

"What a pity, if we could go to New Jincheng to go to sea, it would be even better. I have some enthusiasm for that city that others cannot understand (write)."

His son didn't speak, also observing this city, just looking at it from afar.

For a middle-aged man, suddenly having to start over is indeed a difficult thing to accept, but fortunately they have enough foundation.

Millions in asset transfer, and there are more hidden assets.

He has it himself, and he believes Fran, and everyone who left with them has it.

The Federal Bank has not yet implemented a real-name system or information grading system. Anyone who lies about a name can open an account at the Federal Bank, or even directly open an anonymous account with only a string of numbers and letters.

They will deposit some money into these accounts to ensure their safety.

Fran's son has millions in funds in his own account, which he didn't tell anyone.

As for how much is in Fran's private accounts, he doesn't know.

When the limelight of the matter passes, he can find a way to get someone to take this money out, or use it when they return to the Federation, both are fine.

Accompanied by the sudden sounding of the ship's whistle, a faint regret appeared in Fran's eyes. He turned his head and looked at his son, "Send me back, I'm a bit unaccustomed to such a scene (write)."

Back in the room, Fran was a bit desperate, and a bit lucky.

Lucky that they could at least leave alive.
