Looking at the black and white photo of himself, Ellis was furious.
"A threat! This is definitely a threat!"
"It must be the villain Raftery! He knew he couldn't compete with me, so he used this method. It's really despicable!"
Ellis's first reaction was Raftery. After all, besides him, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
His closest confidants and followers were also outraged.
"Raftery has gone too far. He has done this kind of thing not once or twice. Last time, he even framed us and said we sent people to follow him!"
"Mr. Ellis, Raftery is secretly suppressing our forces. We can't let this kid continue to be rampant, otherwise we really think we are afraid of him."
"The despicable Islamists are simply a nest of snakes and rats, and they should be driven out of Byzantium."
"Mr. Ellis is the person chosen by God and is the most suitable person to inherit the position of president. We should make plans in advance and never allow some scum to ascend to the highest position."
"This time it's a threatening letter and a photo of the deceased. I'm afraid it will really threaten Mr. Ellis' life next time."
Everyone was talking to each other, and Ellis's face gradually darkened. He snorted coldly, "It's time to get to know Raftery."
Ellis didn't want to make too much of a fuss before. After all, Raftery's power is not easy to underestimate. If it causes both sides to lose, the final result may not be good for anyone.
He understood this, and Raftery naturally understood it, which was why the two did not completely break up.
But judging from the current situation, Raftery obviously wants to take the initiative. If he continues like this, he may become passive and the situation will be extremely bad for him.
"If that's the case, then give him a lesson so he doesn't think I'm afraid of him and don't dare to fight back. This is also a lesson to Raftery."
Some people still feel that this is not appropriate. If a bloody conflict does occur, it will be the masses who will be injured in the end, and this can easily affect the public image.
Someone suggested: "Mr. Ellis, is this too impulsive? Maybe there is some misunderstanding. I think we should investigate again."
There are still people who are still rational, and they are not carried away by anger like others, but their number is still a little smaller, and they are quickly suppressed by the angry voices around them.
"Misunderstanding? Which of the things Raftery did misunderstood them? I support counterattack, otherwise I will be bullied to the point of being bullied."
"I also support it. Anyway, they are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust. After all, they were the ones who made the first move!"
"That's right, they wanted to cause trouble for me last time, so let's forget it. They even insulted Mr. Ellis, saying that the entire Catholic Church is a bunch of stinky reptiles."
There are people who are constantly stoking the anger of Ellis and others.
A similar scene was also playing out in Raftery.
They had long been bribed by Vinita at a large price. Although they were not close friends, they could barely speak to each other, and they were perfect for adding fuel to the fire.
What's more, these things were half-true and half-false, and it was impossible to tell the difference. Some of them were framed by Venita, but later on, as the relationship between the two parties became worse and worse.
Venita didn't even need to take action, these people had already started to do it themselves.
Ellis would send people to disrupt Raftery's power and territory, and Raftery would not be outdone and would soon fight back.
These turmoils also affected Qin Tian and Lu Wan.
Early that morning, the family was sleeping peacefully in the hotel when they heard vague noises, followed by the sound of things breaking and crying.
Qin Tian opened the room and took a look, just as Lu Wan on the opposite side of the door also opened the door. Qin Yue'er and the others were bleary-eyed and a little confused. Apparently they had just been woken up.
"You are in the room with the child. I'll go down first to see what's going on."
The entire hotel has three floors, and Qin Tian and the others are on the second floor.
The boss is a typical Catholic, so the hotel's decoration style is also full of strong religious elements.
There is a huge cross in the center of the lobby, and even the bay window is made of stained glass. When the sunlight shines down, it is full of light and very beautiful.
Although the hotel is not the largest, its unique decoration and style are the reasons why Qin Tian and Lu Wan chose to stay here.
However, when Qin Tian walked down and took a look, he couldn't help but frown.
The huge cross fell to the ground, and the ground was covered with broken glass shards, reflecting the colorful light. Looking at the once beautiful bay window, only an empty shelf was left there.
A group of people armed with sticks and wearing uniform black clothes ran in from outside and smashed all the furnishings in the store. Even the tables and chairs were overturned. The entire lobby looked in a mess.
The boss knelt on the ground, clasped his hands, and said something in the local language. Although Qin Tian couldn't understand it, his expression and tone suggested that he was begging for mercy.
However, the group of men in black kicked him to the side. They did not listen to his pleas and continued to destroy him. The waiters nearby tried to stop him, but they also gave him a severe beating.
The opponent has a large number of people, and the boss only has six or seven people here at most, so he can't stop him at all.
Qin Tian helped the boss up from the ground and asked in English: "What happened?"
The boss's voice choked up and said: "They are Muslims. They indiscriminately said that I had committed a crime. They didn't explain clearly what it was, and they started to take action."
This is obviously an excuse. Even if the boss really commits any crime, it is not their turn to take action. Instead, it is left to the police to deal with it. It is obviously a public revenge.
Regardless of whether the boss offended anyone, Qin Tian was not a nosy person. When they were staying at the hotel, the boss was quite nice. He enthusiastically introduced the attractions to them, helped rent cars, and introduced local tour guides.
In addition, it was not enough for this group of people to cause trouble downstairs. They even went to the guest room upstairs. Some of them even talked in English, saying that they would drive all the residents out.
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't bear it anymore.
"enough!"
He blocked the stairwell, preventing the thugs from taking a step forward.
"You are breaking in illegally and wantonly destroying other people's property. If you call the police, I'm afraid you will have to spend some time in jail."
Those people looked at each other in confusion. After seeing clearly that Qin Tian was Chinese, their eyes showed a bit of contempt and disdain.
They probably didn't expect that any Chinese would dare to stop them.
The location of the hotel is not remote, just next to the neighborhood.
Many people had been attracted by the movement here. After seeing the group of people inside, they left one after another. No one dared to intervene and cause trouble for themselves.
The leader seemed to have heard Tian Da's digestion and said sarcastically: "Listen to what he is saying? Oh my God, he actually wants to call the police to arrest us. It's really funny."
"If you know better, get out of here, or I'll beat you up too!"
