Frankfurt was sunny and sunny. At 10 a.m., Ralph was sitting in a restaurant in a skyscraper and whispered with a partner on the Deutsche Bank's twelve board of directors. They were obviously negotiating trade secrets and people around should not be close to each other.

A figure stumbled into the restaurant and saw the man in his thirties wearing a blood-stained nightgown coming in. Screams rang out in the restaurant. Many guests staggered out of the door, afraid that they would encounter a disaster.

Ralph looked at the sound, and saw the lost man at first sight. He stood up with a look of shock and said in dismay: "Bend, what's wrong with you?"

Bend Mezger.

Ralph's eldest son.

Bend came to Ralph with a pale face, and thumped down in front of his father, crying loudly.

Ralph reached out to help him up, but when he just held his arm, he raised it and saw that it was stained with blood that had not yet dried.

"Bend! What happened? Where did you get hurt?"

Ralph turned around and gave the bodyguard a wink. The bodyguards from gsg9 immediately took action, negotiated with the restaurant manager and dismissed the other guests, and then set up defense lines around.

Ralph squatted in front of his son who was scattered with tears, stroked his shoulder with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Bend, tell me what happened? Otherwise, you will continue to cry and never appear in front of me again!"

If this son can only cry, then what's the point of asking him?

Even if it is a father and son, Ralph would not take a look at such a coward.

Bend sniffed and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said with his lips trembling: "I woke up in the morning. There was a person lying beside him!"

"who?"

"Schneider."

"He? Isn't he in China? What's wrong with him?"

With a wow, Bend turned his head and vomited something disgusting in tears. But Ralph kept his face and pressed his shoulder and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Schneider is his capable assistant, has a good relationship with his son and is also a talent his son recommends to him. In a sense, Ralph even regarded Schneider as more important than his son, otherwise he would not have brought him with him last time in New York.

Bende wanted to vomit after vomiting, but after retching for a while, he could no longer vomit, and even vomited all the sour water in his stomach.

He said in a daze and sad way: "Sneider has no eyes, no tongue, no feet and hands, my bed is stained with his blood, and a blurry sound is made in his throat. He is begging, begging me to kill him! Father, I, I can't do it, he is my best friend, I can't do it. He, he..."

At the end of the day, Bend burst into tears.

Ralph's face was already cold as icebergs, which was a sign of anger.

"Who! Who did such a cruel thing?"

He asked gritted his teeth, which was actually just a catharsis. Reason told him that his son had no idea.

But someone answered this sentence.

A voice came from the restaurant entrance. Ralph and his son had a conversation in German before, but the man replied in English.

"I did Ralph. There is a saying in China: It is impolite to come but not go."

Ralph looked in the sound and saw four people walking in from outside the restaurant. The leader was a man and a woman. It was the He brother and sister. The two were arrogant and fearless. Ralph's bodyguards looked vigilant around him, and no one dared to stop them, because behind the two, Jin Xiaoliu and Chen Haoqiang were holding two guns and warning these people not to act rashly.

The scene was tense for a moment, and Ralph narrowed his eyes and looked at the person coming, especially He Tianci, who sneered when he spoke.

Of course he knew He Tianci. Ralph had already known every person who had intersections in Tang Xin's life.

Bend, who was kneeling on the ground, heard He Tianci admitting that it was him. He immediately got up and rushed over like an angry beast. On the way, he grabbed a high stool next to the bar on the restaurant.

Just as he rushed to He Tianci and waved his stool, Ralph said in amazement: "Bend, no!"

He Tianci smiled even more vigorously, and he flew out quickly and hit Bend's lower abdomen. Bend fell to He Tianci's knees, covering his lower abdomen and was in pain. The high stool was grabbed by He Tianci before it landed.

He Tianci smiled and glanced at Ralph, who was shocked in the distance, and without hesitation, he waved his stool and smashed him on the head of Bend, who had kneeled in front of him and was half short of him!

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Bend fell to the ground, with blood flowers on the ground.

The barefoot was distorted, and He Tianci threw it casually, and looked at Ralph with an angry face with tit for tit.

Someone among the bodyguards wanted to take action. Ralph raised his hand and signaled not to act rashly. After turning around and giving others a few instructions, the two bodyguards raised Bend, who was unconscious and bloody, and left first.

He Tianci walked up to Ralph and said coldly: "Tang Xin is the kind of person who will not take action. If you take action, you will definitely get rid of future troubles once and for all. Therefore, if he takes action, he will definitely be sure to do it. But I am not him. You will be punished and repaid. Your man killed people in China and tried to provoke civil strife in Hongxin Group. I won't kill him and send him back. No thanks. But if you decide to start a war, then we will start a war. Even I don't know where Tang Xin is, you must not know. So, you can only come to me, and we will fight to see who kneel down and surrender first."

Ralph stared at He Tianci, who was close to him with a gloomy face. If he had met Tang Xin face to face, perhaps the battle would have been fought, but Tang Xin was not there. As He Tianci said, he could not find out where Tang Xin had gone, as if this man had evaporated with his family.

Even so, Ralph was even more afraid because he would suspect that Tang Xin was hiding. If he exposed his strength and mobilized all his secret chess, he would give Tang Xin a chance to have a fatal blow.

But he would not give in. He glanced at He Min, who looked coldly behind He Tianci, and Jin Xiaoliu and Chen Haoqiang holding four guns. Ralph said disdainfully: "It's just you four? You may be left in Frankfurt forever."

He Tianci sneered, picked up a cup on the dining table next to him and placed it in the window. He walked back to his original position, looking at Ralph without changing his face.

His move made Ralph inexplicable. Is there any mystery to put a cup in front of the window?

have!

Bang!

Hurry!

The glass shattered and the water cup was pierced by a bullet.

Ralph suddenly turned around and looked out of the broken window where the breeze was blowing, and the skyscrapers around him were rising one after another. Perhaps there were snipers on the building opposite!

Or maybe, further afield!

His bodyguards took action and immediately went out to search for the sniper's location.

When He Tianci saw the actions of the bodyguards around him, he said, "Do you know how many snipers are there? I tell you only one. Do you believe it? I can't get out of this building within ten minutes, and there will be bombs here detonated. Do you believe it? I tell you, I'm just bluffing, do you dare to gamble with me? Haha, Ralph, you have to do it. I'm already dead just now, there are more than twenty special forces soldiers from GSG9 inside and outside. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I will die without a burial place, but I'm alive, you dare not take action. Think about the Rockefeller family, Tang Xin blows away people from their lineage, but they don't even dare to fart one. Why? There are always people in the world that you can't afford to offend! Goodbye!"

Looking at He Tianci's back as he turned around and took the people away, Ralph closed his eyes unwillingly.

Maybe the other party was indeed bluffing, but he didn't dare to enter the game and gamble with the other party.

He can't afford this risk.

Especially in his heart, He Tianci was at best one of the second-ranked people. Betting with He Tianci? That was a self-destruction. Even if he bet on his life, he would be with Tang Xin.

Such a strong conversation does not matter how gains and losses are, but Ralph thought of Schneider's fate in pain.

He was wrong.

He should have recalled Schneider before his first failure a few months ago, but Ralph feared that it would hurt Schneider's self-esteem.

They would not admit defeat easily, and Schneider would not return to Frankfurt with the result of failure. However, Ralph could not imagine what Schneider did, which triggered such an overshot reaction from Hongxin Group.

Afterwards, when he learned what Schneider did in China, Ralph felt relieved. Schneider's current outcome was reasonable in a sense. After all, he wanted to subvert a business empire!

The murders that were rampant in Hongxin Group gradually subsided, but in the West of the world, the country where Western civilization originated, an incident that caused a sensation in the world is quietly taking place.

In the northern Mediterranean, Crete, the largest island in Greece.

This crown on the southernmost part of the Aegean Sea is the birthplace of many Greek myths and the cradle of Western civilization. Today, it is a resort for vacation and tourism.

On a barren mountain full of historical traces, an archaeological team is digging a deep pit, they are from the United States.

The most famous one in the team is Professor Leitner, the leader of this team. He is in his forties and has a vicissitudes of life, probably because he has been traveling around all year round.

Holding a small shovel, he was carefully digging historical relics in a deep pit. Professor Leitner was also explaining the legend here to his young assistant.

"Seven thousand years ago, a very developed civilization was born under our feet. It was called the Minoan civilization. About five thousand years ago, it became a commercial center, with flowers blooming and many palaces were built here. One of them is famous, called Knossos. It is a maze related to the legendary King Nomes. You can go to the archaeological ruins to see it. It is very worth studying. Imagine the development of civilization at that time, which will be very helpful to your future work."

Professor Laitner's words made the young and young man nodded constantly. He was fascinated by his ears and couldn't help but ask, "What happened later? What happened to the Minoan civilization?"

Professor Laitner stopped moving and sighed with a little disappointed look: "About three thousand years ago, an unknown disaster destroyed the palace here, which also led to the decline of the Minoan civilization. In the end, it became a legend. We can only wait for us to dig, explore, uncover the truth of history, and let the world understand the glory of the past civilization."

The young assistant was a little disbelief and said suspiciously: "Professor, do you say this is a legend? Could it be fake?"

Professor Leitner shook his head and said seriously: "No, what I said is true. The Minoan civilization did exist. The Minoan manuscript "linear-a" has not been deciphered yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Laitner's shovel made a crisp sound during the excavation.

He lowered his head and looked at it carefully, bent down in surprise, dug out the soil with a shovel, and then looked left and right at the rock that was obviously different from the surrounding land.

"Professor, what's wrong with you?"

The young assistant didn't understand. It looked like he had just dug up the rocks, and it seemed nothing strange.

But Professor Laitner looked up at their deep pit, which was two meters deep, and the rock was obviously different. He turned around the rocks, dug the soil, and finally saw the shape of the upper half of the rock, and was shocked.

"This is a fair square rock block!"

The assistant didn't understand and asked, "Is it strange?"

Letner pointed to the rock and said, "Now there are tools that can perfectly cut the rock, but you can see the traces on the side of this rock. It has obviously been at least hundreds or even thousands of years. This is not naturally formed..."
