After parting ways with Grace last night, Simon stayed overnight in the villa on East 92nd Street for the second time.
By the way, I punished a certain restless woman.
The treatment Simon gave Gralf, mother and daughter far exceeded their previous standard of living.
A top-notch mansion close to Central Park, with a comprehensive and professional team of servants, and no need to work to earn an allowance of US$30,000 per month. There are almost no restrictions on what to do on weekdays. She wants to join some of the top clubs in Manhattan. The woman told Grace, The membership card was quickly obtained, and the family of three could even use the private jet of the Westeros system.
However, people's hearts are not enough.
After Simon stayed overnight at the villa on East 92nd Street for the first time, the intelligence team responsible for monitoring the family discovered that Laura Gralf had intentionally or unintentionally inquired about information about the Michael Jackson case last year, obviously with the intention of Follow the same rules.
Michael Jackson paid $20 million last year to settle a case alleging that the pop star's Chandler family has now bought a mansion in Manhattan and is living the high life. Laura Gralf probably felt that with Simon's talent as a tailor, she might be able to get ten or a hundred times the compensation from him, and at the same time be completely free from his control.
Simon just quietly looked on.
The truth about the Michael Jackson murder case is destined to be a confusing one. The possibility of the superstar being innocent is very high, but everyone prefers to see the result that the other party is not innocent.
Simon himself is not innocent, but he is not Michael Jackson.
The instructions given to the surveillance team were that whenever Laura Gralgh tried to contact a lawyer, she would be immediately restrained and dealt with completely.
Because of the original assassination, the Gralf family should have been targeted for elimination.
It was only Simon who stayed after a thought.
Let them follow the life path they should have, and Simon will not be soft-hearted at all.
Fortunately, after so many days of hesitation, Laura Gralgh hesitated again and again, and finally was not so stupid as to take action.
Simon also directly exposed the woman's mind last night and punished her, completely extinguishing all the fantasies of a stupid woman.
Speaking of which, after the release of the Forbes 400 Richest Americans list at the beginning of the month, there was a lot of restlessness surrounding the Westeros system. In comparison, Laura Gralf's small actions were really insignificant.
First of all, the most restless people are the American political circles.
In the final sprint of the mid-term elections, even though the various operations of the Westeros system have been widely recognized in the past six months, many parliamentary candidates have basically adopted a mild or fierce tone when asked about Simon's personal wealth. It is the wealth of the super rich that should be limited.
Because this is political correctness.
If Simon was just an ordinary person and saw that the personal wealth of the super rich was increasing, he would be unbalanced, hate the rich, and try to seek more so-called fairness.
It happens to be these ordinary people who hold the votes of parliamentarians.
A personal wealth of US$300 billion has completely exceeded the limit of public imagination. Few people can understand what such a huge wealth means, but they instinctively believe that Simon's personal wealth should not continue to grow.
Of course, Simon will not let this trend of public opinion go unchecked.
The new year's Forbes list has just been released, and the Simon & Janet Westeros Foundation immediately announced new large-scale charity opportunities.
At the same time, the media controlled by the Westeros system also began to guide public opinion.
Simon's attitude is clear.
Perhaps beyond the imagination of ordinary people, Simon's personal wealth is completely legal.
Private property is sacrosanct.
There is no problem if you want to limit the wealth of the super rich, but it must be done equally to all wealthy people.
If someone wants to target Simon alone, well, sorry, Westeros doesn't mind targeting one person specifically.
Simon doesn't mind doing anything to protect his legal property.
Secondly, some of Simon's flaws have once again become the object of attention for interested people.
For example, a gang massacre occurred in Reggio, Calabria, southern Italy, in August.
Because Simon later issued a clear warning to the entire Italian and even global gangs not to try to provoke him, otherwise the Stefano family would learn from their mistakes. Therefore, compared with the Pittsburgh Woodfield Manor bombing in which only very few clues were released in the first half of the year, Stefano The truth behind the disappearance of the Fannuo family is known to many people.
As long as enough concrete evidence can be obtained and the Italian government can be persuaded to investigate this incident, there is no doubt that Simon will get into a lot of trouble.
During this period, there were many forces with such thoughts, and the French government was one of them.
An estate in the northern suburbs of Greenwich.
In a study room in the villa, Celia Miller waited for Simon to hang up the phone and roughly heard the news that someone was injured and hospitalized. Seeing that the man did not take the initiative to explain, she wisely did not ask any more questions and continued the topic: "So, just for Rwanda to issue a press release accusing the French government of complicity in the massacre in April, right?"
Simon nodded: "Communicate with Rwanda as soon as possible. Someone from Igret will contact you in the afternoon. After the Rwandan government expresses its position, the relevant press release will be released through the Igret portal."
Celia didn't know why Simon suddenly called her over and arranged such a no-brainer task, but she still dutifully suggested: "Do you want the President or Vice President of Rwanda to make a public statement?"
"No need. In fact, you should realize that this matter has nothing to do with Rwanda. I am just reminding the French government not to forget something. Therefore, the key point in the press release is to point out that Rwandan officials have already grasped the French government's Key evidence of government involvement in the Rwandan genocide.”
Celia nodded.
In fact, she also knew that the Rwandan government did not have any key evidence. Instead, the Westeros system obtained a large number of confessions from the members of the French advisory group who were captured at the time that the French government was involved in the Rwandan genocide.
In the first half of the year, Simon launched a war in Rwanda, Africa, in his own name. In addition to the overthrown Hutu regime, France, which supported the former Rwandan government behind the scenes, also suffered heavy losses, and its many years of planning were ruined.
Therefore, the person Simon offended the most this time was France.
As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, France's overall strength is unquestionable, and it is easy to find trouble in the Westeros system.
If Simon had not occupied the moral high ground in advance through large-scale news reports on the Rwandan genocide, and secretly grabbed the French government's handle, the Westeros system would never have been able to escape so easily.
Noticing Celia's hesitant look, Simon said: "I know what you want to ask, but I can't explain this matter to you. You just need to do what I say."
This is actually an explanation.
Simon didn't say anything, but Celia could roughly guess that the French government, unwilling to be defeated, must have made some small moves in private to target the Westeros system.
They continued to confirm some details, and discussed several matters about the layout of Ukraine with the man. It was already noon, and seeing that Simon had no intention of staying with her to dine together, Celia took the initiative to stand up and leave.
After sending Celia out of the study, Simon returned to his desk and reopened an investigation document he was reading before the woman arrived.
This information is from Italy.
The extermination of the Stefano family had been agitated overtly and covertly for some time. It seemed to have calmed down, but the ripples under the water were still continuing.
Not long after the incident, the 'Ndrangheta, which was frightened after the incident involving the Stefano family, strengthened its monitoring of its own territory, and the Westeros family re-infiltrated the intelligence team arranged in Regio City, began to discover that someone showed unusual curiosity about the incident.
After repeated warnings from the 'Ndrangheta, which wanted to keep things quiet, and even after some guys who were too curious disappeared from the world, everyone else basically chose to stop.
However, there are always people who work tirelessly.
Two investigative reporters from the famous French newspaper "Le Figaro" have been carefully contacting people related to the massacre. In addition, there are also suspected government agents who are secretly investigating the massacre.
Simon also received news two weeks ago that the French government was trying to lobby the Italian authorities to launch a large-scale official investigation into the extermination of the Stefano family.
Now that things have developed here, some things are obvious.
The French government wants to crack down on Simon through the massacre of the Stefano family.
After the incident happened, through Simon's advance arrangements at the level of public opinion, many super rich people and even Latin American drug lords became suspected targets of the Stefano family's extermination. The water was too muddy, and all kinds of confuse the public. The "inside story" is so widespread that it is difficult to distinguish the truth on the surface.
However, many people know the real facts.
In fact, it was like the Kennedy assassination.
The reason why so many witnesses and physical evidence were cleared away after the incident, and why members of the Kennedy family would die violently even if they had the slightest idea of entering politics, is because many people know the truth of the matter, because the truth is too simple and unexamined. That's why we have to keep destroying evidence while preventing the Kennedy family from regaining the power to investigate certain things.
More than half of the past year has passed, whether it is the Woodfield bombing or the Stefano family's extermination, the truth is not top secret. What Simon needs to do is to continue to destroy evidence and prevent deeper investigations.
Also, just delay as much time as possible.
The power of time is always the most powerful.
It doesn’t take too long. Five years later, if the authorities want to investigate certain things in the past, it will be ten times more difficult than it is now.
In the end there will be no truth.
When things turn up again, those who are interested will no longer pursue the truth in vain, but may just become a bargaining chip on another level.
Now, now that the French are up to no good, Simon is not going to sit idly by.
Accusing France of being involved in the Rwandan genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of people in the first half of the year through the Rwandan government and the Igret portal is just a counterattack and warning on the surface. If the French authorities don’t know how to stop after this warning, Simon will next You won't be polite either.
Although the two attacks within a year were both violent, Simon has always known that some methods should never be used more than once.
However, when it was time to take action, he did not hesitate at all.
At Simon's current level, it is no longer possible to rely on moral or legal principles to do many things because his opponents will not do so. If you limit yourself to a certain framework, you will only end up being eaten up to the point where nothing is left.
Because of the discord caused by the Rwandan genocide, it was difficult to ease the relationship between the Westeros system and the French government.
In this case, just take advantage of it.
As an old capitalist power, one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and one of the top five large economies in the world, France's comprehensive strength is beyond doubt.
However, it is not impossible for such a country to decline.
Sorting through the memories of the past, France has too many flaws.
Moreover, because of the long-standing feud between the United States and France, the United States government can also become a supporter of the Westeros system.
On the other hand, Simon, who is pessimistic at heart, believes that mankind will inevitably destroy itself in another world-class war. However, for a long time in the future, the game between countries will be an economic game.
The current Westeros system is already a super chaebol that is stronger than most countries in the world. It can even be said to be an independent economy that transcends the chaebol level. Not only that, compared to countries that need to consider too many things, Westeros The Tello system is completely controlled by Simon alone.
If necessary, the Westeros system can launch an economic war, an economic war that is far more destructive than Soros' attack on other countries' currencies.
A knock on the door interrupted Simon's thoughts.
Girl A appeared at the door of the study and reminded: "Boss, lunch is ready, and Miss Gralf is here."
Simon nodded and motioned to Alison to take Victoria Gralf to the restaurant, lock the materials he had just read in the safe, and he also left the study.
Arriving at the restaurant, Alison and Aaliyah had already laid out lunch.
Simon just didn't say anything, and two portions were placed on the dining table, and the other portion was obviously prepared for Victoria Gralf, who was standing next to her obediently.
Send Alison and two others out and ask them to close the restaurant door.
Simon came to the dining table and sat down, looking at the docile and slightly uneasy girl not far away.
Victoria Gralf wore a white jacket and washed jeans, looking like a harmless girl next door, but Simon didn't feel at all that this girl was as harmless as she appeared.
The phone call I had just received during my meeting with Celia was about Laura Gralf being stabbed in the chest and taken to the hospital.
The assailant was standing opposite Simon.
Moreover, there was not only lunch on the table, but also two slim daggers with a classic style but whose sharpness could be seen at a glance. They were only about ten centimeters in length. If they were found in the right place, killing would not be a problem at all.
He was not in a hurry to eat and was playing with one of the daggers. Simon looked at the girl who could only stand there without his permission and asked: "Why do you do this?"
Victoria Gralf didn't dare to look at Simon and avoided the man's gaze, but she quickly said: "I, I want to give my mother a warning. I don't want her to do something stupid again, and it may even kill me." .”
"Oh, it seems you are quite smart."
Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, then made a look, his voice was a little colder, and said to Victoria: "Come here."
