Chapter 857 – Fernand wants to consolidate his power

The female doctor and the servants who took care of the two children froze for a moment, which meant that someone else’s milk was not good enough for these two children?

They knew that Fernand was very precious to the two children, but they didn’t expect it to be to this extent.

“Take good care of them, if anything happens to them, you will be the only ones to be held accountable.”

“Don’t worry chief, we will take good care of them.”

Fernand hugged them for a while and then left.

Recently the team had split into two factions, one in favor of Fernand and one in favor of another man, Gilbert Balam, who had been Alex’s right hand man.

In the past, the most powerful person in the team was Alex, followed by Gilbert. Now, Fernand’s behavior is not in line with Alex, and everyone thinks that he is no longer the real Alex, and he can’t accomplish Alex’s work, so they should look for a new master, and Gilbert is the best candidate.

But this is only a secret surge, not yet put into the open to break, so still keep the surface harmony.

Gilbert felt that Fernand could still be saved again, and might be able to make the real Alex appear again.

“Chief, at the moment, we found out that Jesse is in a very bad state, it’s entirely possible to take this opportunity to get him killed.” Someone suggested this.

Fernand coughed twice.

“We’ve lost more money a few times down the line, and if we fight Jesse to the death now, he might die and we might not be any better off.”

“But it’s not the time to get Jesse, won’t it be more of a problem when he’s better?”

Previously Jesse had caused them a lot of casualties, whether it was in personnel or property, it was a heavy loss, now that Jesse had easily turned into a fool, wouldn’t we seize this opportunity and wait for Jesse to get better to make a comeback?

“Chief, if you have concerns, let us go and you get well.” Someone spoke at Fernand like that, despite the word alpha under his breath, his attitude was clearly bad.

“Fine, you guys go, I don’t care.” Fernand said lightly.

The others froze, they didn’t expect Fernand to be so nice, didn’t he stop them before? How come they were in favor of it again today?

“Chief, why are you in favor of it again?” Gilbert asked as he also found it strange.

“I have not been making a move on Jesse because I am worried about my own body, after all, Jesse’s side is not a vegetarian, thinking of leaving a mountain to burn, but seeing that you guys are in a hurry, I am afraid that you guys will misunderstand that I do not dare to do so.”

“Since you guys have this idea, and now is indeed a good opportunity, go ahead and try, Gilbert, you go arrange this matter.”

“Okay, chief.” Gilbert carefully discerned Fernand’s look when he said this, trying to tell something from the micro-expressions, but it was hard, he couldn’t tell anything.

Fernand like this made him think of Alex, and unconsciously he felt submissive again.

“Okay, you guys just need to report the general things to me, you don’t have to do everything, I’m comfortable leaving it to you guys.”

“And one more thing, none of Jesse’s four children are to be moved.”

“Especially Molly.”

Hearing Fernand mention Molly, the more everyone felt as if it was Alex coming back, because they all knew that Alex loved Molly and made an exception for Molly.

After all, they hadn’t mentioned Molly’s existence while they were hypnotized, and now Fernand knew.

After the meeting broke up, a few of their top brass walked with Gilbert.

“Minister, the chief, is he … now?”

“Let’s do our own thing first, and don’t interfere too much in the chief’s business.”

“But, didn’t we all agree before to put …”

Gilbert’s look stopped him from continuing.

“Alright, you guys go to work.”

Once Gilbert was gone, the guys got together and talked without much concern.

“I still think it’s good to just follow the minister and get on with it, there’s no need to follow Fernand anymore, Fernand is Fernand after all not his former master.”

“We’ve struggled so hard for so many years, we can’t have the fruits of our struggle seized by an unrelated person, right? And he’s still giving us orders and flaunting his authority.”

“But Master’s heart is inside Fernand’s body.”

“In fact, I felt it was unreliable before, but this project has been researched for so many years, and the master’s body is getting worse and worse, it’s imperative, it was indeed good in the beginning, but now that it’s slowly becoming problematic, we can’t just take the bull by the horns, it’s wise to follow the minister.”

“Let’s talk about this matter, let’s take care of Jesse first, for now let’s be united.”

A few people left after that, not realizing that there was a man eavesdropping in the shadows.

Soon he reported what he overheard to Fernand.

Fernand smiled after listening, he played with the gun in his hand and fired a shot at a humanoid target not far away, hitting it right in the head.

“Chief, good shot!”

“I’ll settle my score with them after this one.” He fired another shot, still hitting the head.

“Chieftain, we’re not united now, most of them will support Gilbert.”

“It’s okay, let’s see how they turn out against Jesse this time.”

“But once Jesse is dead, it’s equivalent to the external problem being solved, then they might have to deal with us.”

Fernand, however, smiled indifferently, “Want to solve Jesse smoothly? They think it’s too easy.”

If Jesse was really that easy to deal with, why did Alex have to work so hard for so many years in the first place? He didn’t believe that these people could deal with someone that even Alex had a hard time dealing with.

Even if Jesse had turned out to be a fool nowadays.

Fernand dialed Nydia’s number after leaving the gun practice place.

Nydia was surprised to receive the call, she didn’t expect Fernand to call her again.

“It’s me, Fernand.”

“They’re trying to get at Jesse, so watch yourselves.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Nydia thought it was strange.

But Fernand didn’t answer and just hung up.

Nydia immediately found Frederick and relayed this call from Fernand to him.

“What do you think he means by this? Deliberately giving us information? He must mean another set of people are out to get us.”

“Don’t rule out that it’s him trying to deal with us himself, it’s kind of like he’s putting up a smokescreen right now, we have to pay attention to it, it’s going to get on our nerves, which isn’t really a good thing.”

“What if it’s true?”

“Whether it’s real or not, we have to be on guard, we can’t have an eventuality after all.”

“Right.” Nydia nodded.

“Don’t worry Mrs. Pascall, Theo and I will make the arrangements, at least Mr. Pascall must be treated first.”

The big picture was definitely still going to be Jesse’s to run, they could deploy briefly, it was still going to take Jesse to really sort this out.

Fernand was just shady!

But Nydia wasn’t in a position to think that much, she steadied herself and took Jesse to see Dr. Huffpove.

This time they weren’t meeting at Dr. Huffpove’s house.

If they were really targeted, Dr. Huffpove’s home was too dangerous, and if something happened it would also involve them as an old couple.

Maintaining Nydia enlisted the help of Rysbek.
