Chapter 394
“Yes, Grandfather. You’ve been away these days, and I haven’t had the chance to inform you!”
“Mm, I understand. Ask your father to come to the castle.”
“Understood, Grandfather!”
Jay replied, then ended the call. He noted that it was already 1:00 am.
“Your grandfather asked for me?” Martin asked in surprise.
“Yes, he asked about the Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers and then said he wants to see you,” Jay replied.
“The Green Bamboo Association got wiped out, the Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers got snatched at the auction, and Fabian Hughes came to Drakonia…”
Martin’s eyes widened in realization as he gritted his teeth and uttered three syllables,” Wolfgang Young!”
Half an hour later, at the Kleins’ castle, all seven of the Kleins’ sons stood in the living room.
Some were in their pajamas, looking sleepy, while others were whispering to each other, unsure why their father summoned them so late.
The family’s patriarch, Sir Klein, sat on a sofa, sipping tea. Seeing Martin walk in, he immediately spoke, “The Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers painting was bought by Nash Calcraft. What are your thoughts on this?”
Martin, who had just entered, voiced his suspicions, “I suspect Nash might be a descendant of the Youngs’ confidant… and he’s been located by Wolfgang. Even the Smiling Grim Reaper might be acquainted with Wolfgang!”
At the mention of Wolfgang’s name, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
“You shouldn’t speak recklessly, Marty. Wolfgang died 18 years ago during the East Valley Battle!”
“Yes, your two elder brothers accompanied Father to the Northern Territory to verify this themselves!”
Two of the Kleins remarked, seemingly agitated by the topic.
Wolfgang was Christopher Young’s son, the direct lineage of the Youngs.
For generations, the Kleins had/served under the Youngs, feeling a natural suppression from the Youngs’ bloodline.
They even secretly eradicated/many unrelated individuals with the surname Young in the past.
Marvin Klein said, “Yes, we conducted a DNA test on the body. The deceased had a familial connection to Christopher, and the timing of Wolfgang’s enlistment was consistent!”
Merlin Klein, with a hint of boredom, added, “Maybe he’s just a fan of the Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers? The Zunigas also bid tens of billions on it. I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing!”
Martin smirked. “How do you explain the annihilation of the Green Bamboo Association, then?”
Chuckling, Merlin elaborated, “I’ve already investigated the Green Bamboo Association incident. Hunter, the eldest son of Jonford’s Hill family, was pursuing Hera Lewis. But Hera’s friend, Skadi, had always hindered him.
“The Hills’ patriarch hired the Green Bamboo Association’s Crow to kidnap both Skadi and Hera. Crow was later killed by Nash, marking the beginning of their enmity…”
Hearing Merlin’s explanation, the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Marvin patted Martin on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be so sensitive, Marty. Apart from a few confidants of the Youngs, there are almost no survivors. And those confidants can’t do much. You needn’t worry!”
Martin squinted his eyes and asked, “What about Fabian Hughes from Universal Group? Why do you think he’s in Drakonia?”
Melvin Klein, who was in charge of the Kleins’ shares in Universal Group, adjusted his gaze.” Yes… The head of inspection of Universal Group in the Drakonia region is also called Nash Calcraft…”
The revelation changed the room’s atmosphere once more.
Martin sneered, “Fabian is a descendant of a confidant of the Youngs. If he’s here to hand over Universal Foundation to one of the Youngs, you should know the consequences of this action
…”
Everyone remained silent, pondering the possibility of Nash’s connection to the Youngs.
The Kleins’ patriarch, Timothy Klein, inquired, “On the night we wiped out the Youngs, did anyone see Ruby Xing?”
The fourth son, Moses Klein, and the fifth son, Mount Klein, simultaneously replied, “We did
All eyes turned to them.
Mount added, “Ruby had gone to the basement with a baby. Our men pursued them, but the basement’s self-destruction device was triggered…”
Magnus Klein nodded and said, “I remember the baby was still crying at that time. It couldn’t have been fake.”
Timothy turned to his sixth son, Magnus. “Which family did Ruby come from? Did you ever find out?”
Magnus shook his head. “There was nothing left of Ruby’s body. A DNA test was impossible.”
Timothy sighed. “The Youngs have always married in secret, without even notifying our family…”
Carefully, Martin inquired, “Father, what do you think of all this?”
