Chapter 2420

Finally, this seemingly inconspicuous meeting that could influence the fate of many people in Qari came to an end.

Compared with the happy smiles on the faces of other representatives, the expressions on the faces of Solander, Warwick, and other Qari local forces were sullen.

Of course, by introducing these foreign forces, they protected their own security in future wars. However, the price was that it overdrew the country’s potential for decades to come.

After the war, the United Kingdom, German, and other powerful family forces would attach on Qari like leeches and continuously suck the blood of their country. They would never see the light of day. However, under the threat of force from the United States, they had no other choice at all.

This was the tragedy of a small country.

At the end of the meeting, the guests present quietly returned to the banquet hall. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

The men and women who were mingling in the hall did not seem to notice the absence and reappearance of these prominent figures at all. They were constantly trying to meet new people, eager to gain more capital for themselves and the forces behind them in the relationship. However, in many cases, the truly far-reaching events were often just a secret agreement of a small group of people.

“Boneng, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Just now, Owen and Shuman didn’t put too much pressure on you. They’re only finishing their work.”

Surprisingly, Harry was the first to talk to Rebbeca after the meeting.

His appeasement was undoubtedly a kind of goodwill and also optimism for Rebbeca’s future. Obviously, in his opinion, Shulman and Owen made it difficult for him by asking Boneng, who had just arrived, to deal with the Kurt family’s rebellion.

The Kurt family might seem like a huge interest, but it was actually more like a trap. After all, no matter how good the interest was, it would only be considered good if one could get it.

Aside from the fact the Kurt family had an excellent guard that was not inferior to any mercenary regiment, the Rothschilds’ support was even more powerful. Even though the guests jointly expel the five major families just now, they would still think twice if they were asked to do something to the family that the Rothschilds apparently took a fancy to.

The nature of the two was quite different.

“Harry, I’m fine, you better comfort Warwick. He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood,” Rebbeca smiled and pointed to Warwick who was sitting not far away drinking alone.

He was sitting alone at the table at the moment. Elibetha was not with him.

Right now, Elibetha was upstairs in the small room, sharing her joy of being a wife with Stefan.

However, Harry pouted. “Forget it, if I go to him now, he will think that I am trying to provoke him. After all, the meeting just now was to discuss how to protect their local forces, but in essence, it was about how to divide up Qari’s interests.”

“As someone from Qari, he will be somewhat unhappy, especially since the initiator of this meeting is the United Kingdom.”

Rebbeca smiled and said, “But aside from being a United Kingdom citizen, you are also his wife’s cousin.”

Harry shook his head and said with a smile, “This is different. Although Owen was responsible for leading this matter from the beginning to the end, I have a sensitive identity, and I don’t want him to misunderstand me…”

“Elibetha is my cousin no matter what. We grew up together, so I don’t want her husband to have any prejudice against her.”

Rebbeca did not expect Harry to do anything, and he only mentioned this casually. He took the initiative to bring up these in the hope of diverting Harry’s attention away from the Kurt family.

Harry chatted with him for a while when he suddenly received a call. Then, he mentioned he needed to leave for a while as Rebbeca nodded. However, just as Rebbeca was going back to the table to get some pastries, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and stopped.

He had never interacted with this person before, but in the future, he had seen photos of this person many times.

Why is be here?
