The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Chapter 697 I heard that you are looking for me?

Ten minutes later, several people dressed as ninjas were lying in a mess in an open space next to a few wooden houses.

However, a few meters away, guns that had exploded into various shapes were piled together in a mess. While the gun barrels were blown beyond recognition, the grass underneath was also charred black.

The loud noise of the gun exploding echoed through the mountains, leaving behind a few weak echoes.

After seeing countless groups of birds fleeing in all directions, Shandao withdrew his calm gaze and looked at the pile of guns that were completely unusable.

The Chinese woman named Xu really gave him a big surprise, destroying all the weapons that he had worked so hard to bring to Yidali.

Most of the ninjas who were blown away by the recoil and air waves were still unconscious. Only a few who were standing farther away struggled to get up. They only had time to roughly wipe the blood from their nostrils and ears before hurriedly standing back in front of the mountain island.

"Wait until those guys wake up, and then you can deal with the scrap metal. You can't leave it here."

"Yes, Yamashima-kun."

After a brief explanation, Shandao didn't even look at his subordinates on the ground whose lives or deaths were unknown, and flew into the dense forests of the Al Mountains again.

It doesn't matter if we lose external objects like guns. What's important is that the plan is not affected at all.

Since these useless subordinates are unable to find Muramasa, he will have to go find him himself.

On the other hand, Xu Yiyu, who had already set out with the treasure hunting team, seemed to have sensed something and cast his gaze in the direction of the dormitory where the large group had previously stayed.

Could it be that she heard it wrongly? There was clearly a faint explosion coming from that direction just now...

But when she thought about the tampering with the guns in those "dormitories" before, she was not surprised.

I don’t know how many guns Shandao had his men try to make such a horrific noise.

Xu Yiyu and the treasure hunting team went down the mountain together and left the range of the signal radiation emitted by the signal base station.

When her cell phone's signal returned to being intermittent, she realized that the benefit time provided by the Alshan Mountains to her and her companions was over.

According to Tianlin, the snakes that had been released into the camp had been properly disposed of after being bagged by him. Although Xu Yiyu was curious about the "proper" method, he ultimately did not ask too many questions.

Special cases require special treatment, and it is best to treat the person in his own way.

He released the snake in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping and resting. I don't think he is a good person.

Before setting off, Jiu specifically told her that everyone was getting closer and closer to the treasure place on the map. It would take at least three days or at most five days to reach its edge. That area was truly dangerous and full of traps.

Now, Xu's energy should be focused on everyone's future.

All members of the treasure hunting team marched bravely towards the treasure location on the map, while in the Gallo family elders' council in Milan, a storm was brewing.

Although Guido was still sitting at the long table reserved for the elders, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, just like his mood at the moment.

In his long life of several decades, the last few days have been the most difficult period for him.

When clan leader Angelo held him accountable for Huang Niao being abducted by Viola's confidant that day, not only did the other elders who were usually on the same side as him not say anything in support, even he himself could not make any excuses for himself.

What could he say?

Say that all this was planned by Viola, and he, as her husband, had no idea? Or can he put Viola above her relatives and bring her to the Council of Elders to let them deal with her?

He had always regarded this beautiful wife, who was much younger than himself, as his appendage. Now that she had done such a big thing without making any noise, was he going to loudly declare his innocence and cleanliness like bargaining in the market?

In the eyes of this group of people, he represented his wife, so no matter how he defended himself, he could not prove his innocence.

What annoyed Guido the most was not that he was being questioned, but that when the clan leader Angelo ordered him to call Viola, his usually obedient wife realized something was wrong after just a few words and hung up the phone without hesitation.

Guido was stunned to hear the last words she said, which were about their son Felice.

"If you don't do something for our son, I can't do nothing."

When Guido tried to call Viola again, the call could no longer be connected.

It turned out that her obedience and understanding these days were all pretended. Guido thought she could really hold back her anger for a while, but he didn't expect that she would directly cause such a huge trouble.

Guido still remembers the look in the eyes of the other elders when they looked at him at that time.

"My dear cousin, for the sake of our brotherhood, I will give you three days. If you cannot make the culprit stand in this room after three days, you will not have to appear in this room in the future."

Angelo, as the patriarch, gave him an ultimatum, which was also his last chance to atone for his crime.

When he returned to his residence angrily that night and prepared to catch Viola and question her, he came up empty-handed.

"Master, Madam said that Master Felice has been away for the past few days and she is in a bad mood. She wants to go back to her mother's house to have some peace and quiet. The housekeeper has sent her back a few hours ago."

The maid beside her told Guido her whereabouts without waiting for him to question her, which made Guido, who was already furious, even more headache.

If that woman were still at home, there would still be room for improvement.

As long as she could let her confidant release Huang Niao, and then follow him back to the Elders' Council to confess his crime, everything would still be in time.

He will still be the elder with the most say in the Gallo family, and she will still be his wife, and everyone can remain decent.

But Viola's departure put Guido in a passive position.

Although he knew where Viola was going, her mother's family was a prestigious family in Milan. No matter what his considerations were, he could not go to their house and forcibly abduct her.

But if she doesn't come back, Guido's position as elder, which he has held for so many years, would be in jeopardy.

Now, the ultimatum deadline has come. If that woman does not come to him on her own initiative, then he will have to watch helplessly as the power and wealth he has held for so long slips away from him.

And without his protection, his youngest son Felice will inevitably suffer crazy revenge from his enemies who had been too cautious in the past, no matter what power he is in.

Viola is such a short-sighted woman! She is putting herself in an unjust situation!

Looking at his cousin who was sweating anxiously, Angelo, who was sitting at the first seat of the long table, narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head to glance at the watch on his wrist, and curved his eyes slightly.

There are only fifteen minutes left before the deadline he gave Guido, and this is also the last bit of family kindness he can give to this cousin of his family.

The one who is most serious in the family elders' council and is complacent is this cousin who used to be quite enterprising when he was young.

He has given Guido one last chance. If he still can't catch him, he will not show mercy this time.

An elder who was on good terms with Guido quietly pulled Guido's sleeve under the cover of the long table and inquired about his situation with his eyes.

Before Guido answered, he read the answer from his cousin's expression.

The slightly younger elder sighed helplessly and shook his head hopelessly.

Even if he wanted to save Guido now, he was powerless.

As the minute hand on the dial crossed the last grid, Patriarch Angelo quickly straightened his expression and stood up slowly and solemnly.

Guido sat there with a dead heart, his clenched fists hanging limply at his sides, as if he had given up his last struggle.

"I, Angelo Gallo, as the patriarch of the Gallo family, declare that Elder Guido will -"

"Wait a moment!"

Angelo, whose words were interrupted, looked at the woman who pushed open the door of the elders' room and stood gracefully at the door of the room. His brows frowned briefly, and then relaxed after a while.

Guido raised his head and looked at the woman at the door with disbelief in his eyes.

At this time, Viola appeared and walked into the Presbyterian Church room with a smile on her face. She gracefully lifted her skirt and bowed to everyone in the room.

"Sorry, I'm late. I heard that Mr. Patriarch, you were looking for me?"
