Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 385 The other side didn't take us seriously at all.
"Lawrence! Did you do this on purpose?"

Across the ocean, Frank slammed his fist on the table at Lawrence, “You deliberately brought up Xiao Ya’s boyfriend in front of me to lure my nephew to his death in Tianxia!”

"I did it on purpose, my foot!" Lawrence retorted, "I said it in the meeting, not to you alone. What does it have to do with me that you sent Aaron to seduce Xiao Ya because you had impure intentions?"

Lawrence pointed to the other people in the conference room, "Why didn't they send anyone?"

Frank glared angrily at Lawrence. "Eileen and Xiao Ya have become friends. You clearly have the advantage, why don't you go?"

Lawrence rolled his eyes. To be honest, he was secretly relieved because he had actually fallen for him.

Thank you, Aaron!

"Because I am the first in line to the Lawrence family!" Lawrence declared righteously. "I am a citizen of the United States. If I were to pursue Xiao Ya, would you still feel comfortable chatting with me here?"

Frank felt nauseous and didn't believe Lawrence's nonsense.

Because superhumans were practically an open secret, the news of eight soldiers being struck by lightning and killed along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean was immediately reported to various countries.

But Aaron's death only went unnoticed by those on both sides of the ocean who were specifically paying attention to the matter.

At that moment, the photo of Aaron's death was right in front of Frank, so it's no wonder that he immediately attacked Lawrence.

"To be honest, I find it hard to imagine what your Frank family is thinking."

Lawrence complained, "Sending the first in line of succession to Tianxia will cause distrust among everyone here, which is why none of us have taken any action."

Lawrence gestured to the other people in the conference room.

Everyone nodded in agreement, regardless of their own thoughts, they all agreed that Lawrence was right.

"But if we send the second in line of succession and he succeeds, he will have a human strategic weapon of nuclear caliber behind him. What will the first in line of succession think about that?"

Lawrence paused abruptly, giving Frank a strange look. "Besides, Aaron is your older brother's son, not yours. Why are you so angry? Could it be..."

All eyes in the conference room were on Frank, their gazes filled with keen interest and curiosity.

A flicker of panic crossed Frank's eyes, then turned to anger. "Aaron is my nephew, can't I be angry?"

"enough!"

Seeing that the topic was about to veer towards family ethics, Rockefeller, who was sitting at the head of the table, finally spoke up, "The purpose of our meeting is to discuss whether the extraordinary individuals in Tianxia are intolerant of the war on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and to make possible responses, not to watch a family drama."

"Clearly, that young man named Gu Zhao just happened to encounter some soldiers behaving badly while punishing Aaron, and killed them as a matter of course." Lawrence also regained his composure.

Someone looked at Lawrence and asked, "Did your cousin get this information?"

Lawrence glanced at the man. "Isn't it obvious? If they were really going to stand up for those two million people, would they only kill eight soldiers like you who are raising their guns?"

Everyone fell into silence.

Frank gritted his teeth and said, "He also killed Aaron."

“Aaron was killed by the Squid Soldier.” Another old man looked at Frank. “This meeting will not discuss anything related to Aaron. If you want revenge, don’t drag us into it.”

Frank stared, and then his phone suddenly rang.

But before he could even check his phone, the meeting host received the message simultaneously and looked up abruptly, "Granville Frank is dead."

Everyone in the conference room looked up at the same time.

"He was having sex with his secretary in his office when a bolt of lightning shattered the building's windows and struck him directly." The host swallowed hard. "He was turned to smithereens, but the secretary was completely unharmed."

Everyone fell into silence.

“And Granville’s eldest son, Aaron’s older brother, Dennis Frank.” “He’s dead too?”

"He died, he and his beloved car melted together."

As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone felt a white light before their eyes, and a deafening roar suddenly rang in their ears.

"Boom!"

"what!"

Tables and chairs were overturned in the conference room, and everyone scattered in panic. Some crawled under the tables, some tried to hide in corners, some ran towards the door with cries of pain, and some simply lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

After a long time...

When no further sounds were heard, the crowd slowly raised their heads.

The conference room windows were shattered into pieces, the office was a mess, documents and papers were flying everywhere, and the large screen seemed to have been affected by high-intensity ionization, flickering and turning half black and half white, clearly indicating that it was also broken.

However, as everyone slowly peeked out and looked around, they did not find anyone who had been killed. Even Frank, whom they were focusing on, was trembling and half-squatting on the ground, holding onto the table. Although his face was pale and his eyes were filled with terror, he was still alive.

"Does he know we're here plotting against him?" Frank asked in alarm.

“No, he’s here to see you.” Rockefeller, who was at the head of the group, remained calmly seated in his chair, drawing respectful glances from those around him.

However, a few people not far from him could faintly smell an odor. Lawrence walked back from a little distance and saw a puddle of water under the old man's chair.

"He came looking for me?" Frank repeated, then immediately realized and exclaimed, "How did he know I was here?"

“Superman has super vision and super hearing, so why do you think he can’t find you?” Lawrence sat back down in his seat. “On the bright side, at least we know that the so-called secret meetings we have now are not secret to superhumans.”

Frank gritted his teeth and sat back down in his seat. "But he didn't kill me."

"Wow--"

Hearing the noise, Frank turned around abruptly and saw a marble sculpture behind him turn into dust, falling from the display stand and scattering powder all over the ground.

Everyone, "..."

Frank's lips twitched, and then he heard Lawrence chuckle sarcastically, "You don't think he missed, do you?"

"you!"

“Let me tell you, this is called killing someone by destroying their spirit. Do you dare to retaliate?” Lawrence said calmly. “You should feel lucky because he thought you weren’t Aaron’s direct relative and wouldn’t be a threat, so he spared your life.”

Lawrence looked at Frank and said in a low, meaningful tone, "Your eldest brother's family is all dead. You will be the head of the Frank family from now on. I remember you have two sons and two daughters."

Frank's face flushed red and then turned pale. After a moment, he seemed to have lost all his energy and slumped into the chair, his eyes glazed over.

But everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. One of Frank's friends came over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

But before he could speak, another person suddenly asked, "Has he left?"

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense.

They were discussing how to deal with that person when they suddenly showed up at their door. Although a long time has passed since the lightning strike, who knows if that person has left or not?
“We overestimate ourselves,” Lawrence suddenly said, while tidying up the documents and files in front of him. “They don’t even take us seriously.”

Everyone, "..."

Rockefeller, who was at the head of the meeting, couldn't help but clench his fist, then tapped the table. "The meeting has achieved its objectives. Meeting adjourned!"
