The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4181

After hearing Christian's judgment, Merlin laughed wryly and said, "My thoughts are the same as yours. In New York, there aren't many people who can make a move on the Fox family. Taking into account the Rothschild and the Acker families, there are at most four of five families with the strength to do so but this time, this group of people's style of action is not the same as any of you."

"Indeed." Christian agreed and said, "This kind of gameplay is not something that a few big families can do. It is indeed very wild and surprising at first glance."

"You think so too?" Merlin sighed and said, "I once thought that this might be the work of a new gang. Generally, new gangs would want to do shocking and appalling things to get ahead but when I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem quite right. If any gang dares to play like this, they would basically be in a dead end and no gang would be able to compete with the strength of the Fox family.”

Christian nodded in agreement and said," And I can be certain that these people are not doing it for money. If they were really doing it for money, they wouldn't offer such an exaggerated condition of a two hundred billion US dollars ransom. This is basically as unrealistic as and equivalent to kidnapping a few passersby in New York, and then going to the US government to demand for an entire fleet of aircraft carriers."

Merlin nodded and said, “It's even weirder because this is not done for money."

Having said that, Merlin asked Christian," Christian, you watched the videos that are popular on the internet, right?"

Christian nodded. "Watched them."

Merlin frowned and said, "I don't know why but I constantly feel that there’s something sinister about it! It's very sinister! Two videos are uploaded one after the other. On the surface, the Fox family was suppressed by public opinion in the first video but in the end, the Fox family had managed to seize the opportunity to turn things around. The Fox family somehow played a perfect hand of suppression before promotion... but in fact, this gives me the feeling that someone is deliberately manipulating all this. It's as if the person is giving the Fox family the chance to suppress this matter before promoting themselves..."

Christian said, "I called you just to remind you of this. I too find this matter very strange! From the video, it seems that the other party is just vulgarly testing and intimidating Xavion and the tactics used are very strange. I have a feeling that this matter is not as crude as it appears to be on the surface! Not only is it not crude but it's also extremely precise! It's so precise to the point that the mastermind is able to predict the Fox family's moves in advance and he's deliberately using this method to lure the Fox family out every step of the way, to be in the eyes of the public."

Merlin slapped his thigh and blurted out," Yes! That's it! They are fishing! They want to catch the entire Fox family so that they can actively expose the Fox family with the whole world’s attention..."

After saying that, he quickly asked," Christian, what exactly do you think he wants?"

Christian smacked his lips and said, "If they hadn't cut off Homer's ears, I would have thought that this is all a good show that the Fox family had directed themselves so that the Fox family's reputation would rise quickly, while also making Homer's reputation spread far and wide so as to lay an extraordinary foundation for Homer. Think about it, when everyone in the world is looking forward to Homer's safe return, they'll come out again to rescue him successfully. Homer would come out with lots of calls after this drama and the whole world would celebrate and cheer. There will be a perfect ending and Homer's future will be bright and unlimited.”

Merlin said, "But they really did cut off Homer's ears! I had people use the Al restoration technology to maximize the picture quality of those videos and zoomed in to the image of the pair of ears in the video. After that, they matched it to

Homer's previous physical features and it is indeed his ears! There’s no mistake!"

"Yes," Christian said solemnly. "It is this point that made me reject this hypothesis. The Fox family is definitely not the manipulator behind the scenes. The real manipulator behind the scenes is a premeditated effort to draw the Fox family into the spotlight little by little."

Merlin asked, "What exactly is the purpose of leading them out to be in front of the whole world's attention?”

Christian said slowly, "Since the hypothesis just now does not hold... then there could only be another possibility for the other party's motive."

Merlin said, "You mean that these people are not targeting Homer, but the entire Fox family?!"

"That's right!" Christian said excitedly." We’re both really of the same mind!"
