Capítulo 1916: Chapter 1254: Longitude and Latitude
On the other side of the Earth.
The sun and moon are reversed.
Over there, the sun is setting, while here it is rising.
Night and day will not sync.
Much less their standpoints.
The over hundred-story Wealth Tower not only reaches the clouds but also overlooks the Statue of Liberty.
Because of the presence of a certain influential person, the weekly regular etings were extended by nearly two hours.
And after the eting ended, a crowd of titans at the top of the capital pyramid gathered respectfully around the rare figure for a conversation.
“Miss Vera has arrived.”
Even as rely an assistant, the bigwigs influencing global financial trends made way.
The woman who was the center of attention not only had stunning looks, but the most eye-catching feature was her dreamlike silver hair, holy and noble, far surpassing the Statue of Liberty outside, more deserving of the world’s reverence.
The surrounding bigwigs tactfully stopped in their tracks.
“Miss Vera has been waiting for an hour.”
The assistant led the way and supplented.
Waited for an hour?
That’s quite honoring.
Upon arriving outside the lounge, the assistant stopped and helped push open the door.
The silver-haired woman, like a mythological figure, walked in alone.
Vera sat inside, waiting for an hour, but was not impatient. On the coffee table in front of her was a cup of coffee, untouched. She was resting with her eyes closed, only opening them at the sound of high heels.
She wasn’t like this before she ca here, could it be that waiting for an hour actually cald her down?
When the person finally arrived, the girl didn’t speak, but instead sat up straight and picked up the cup of coffee.
Not sure if it’s cold.
“Wasting ti is a disgraceful act.”
The silver-haired woman spoke first, the wrongful party making accusations without a hint of guilt.
But indeed.
Clearly she didn’t invite Vera here.
Vera apparently made the decision herself.
“My ti is my own, I have the right to allocate it freely.”
Vera retorted, without giving an inch, but it was just a superficial toughness.
If she truly didn’t know her place, why would she sit here idly for an hour? Wasting life is indeed unforgivable, she should have barged into the eting room imdiately.
“Jiang is dead.”
Vera put down the coffee cup.
The air fell silent.
The silver-haired woman looked down at her, after a while, she spoke.
“Who?”
“Jiang. You haven’t forgotten so soon, have you? He helped you make a big profit in Japan.”
“He helped you.”
He.
It seems that soone indeed left an impression on her. No longer an unknown.
“Didn’t you profit as well? Cynthia, don’t deny it, he helped you to legitimately and openly reap Japan, taking all the bla himself.”
In that large-scale and far-reaching financial war, the only unlucky one was indeed Japan.
Everyone else was virtually a winner, the difference was only in how much.
Including the sisters facing each other now.
Of course.
Calling it a confrontation is not accurate, nor is sisters, judging by last nas, they are likely distant relatives.
Moreover, in the West, familial ties are quite thin, the so-called family cohesion is not based on blood, but interest.
“Aren’t you principled with bottom lines. Aren’t you saddened at all by your benefactor’s death?”
Vera turned her head, speaking words that could make one laugh, yet her expression was earnest.
The silver-haired woman remained indifferent, her face, which could rival the sun and moon, naturally didn’t show sorrow, nor did it show excitent.
“Cursing others is rude and incompetent.”
A bit like an elder sister educating a younger one.
Then, she sat down.
“What happened.”
Vera didn’t continue to babble nonsense, it wasn’t interesting, and before this person, it was aningless.
“He was assassinated. Cynthia, do you know what consequences would arise if he were eliminated without clarity?”
Vera said emotionlessly: “The tis have changed, in Japan, you should see clearly, Shen Zhou people will no longer swallow insults and humiliation, if he can die, so can you.”
Assassination.
Who couldn’t?
No matter how tight the security, if one is well-intentioned, flaws can always be found.
The rules can be changed.
But certain boundaries can’t be breached.
People alive.
Always need to eat.
So, one cannot overturn the table.
“Who did it?”
Asked the woman.
“The old you wasn’t this hypocritical, when did you beco one who dares not admit what you’ve done?”
Eyes t.
The two bore no resemblance, clearly showing no blood relation, even their eye colors were vastly different.
One in an expansive blue, the other a splendid amber.
“If you suspect it’s , you wouldn’t co yourself, but call the FBI.”
“Pfft.”
Upon hearing this.
Vera inexplicably started laughing, then leaned back lazily, almost crossing her legs,
luckily she still minded her manners.
“I know, it wasn’t you, you surely aren’t that foolish.”
Is that a complint or a reproach?
“But sotis it doesn’t matter who specifically did it, what matters is so disgusting filthy crawlies actually did it.”
Cynthia took the initiative to ignore the subjective elents in her sister’s tone.
“Is the information true?”
“How true does it need to be? Jiang called personally. Don’t be fooled by his amiable deanor, he’s actually very cold-blooded and ruthless. Japan is the best example, it’s lost half its life. He’s genuinely a bit angry this ti, but understandably, if such a thing happened to anyone, it’d be the sa.”
I don’t know if Comrade Jiang Chen would feel honored or ashad upon hearing Miss Vera’s assessnt.
“If you don’t want to be dragged into this, there’s only one way, quickly cut ties.”
