Chapter 1155
Dustin couldn't shake the feeling that they were missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Beside him, King spoke up slowly, "You know, Dustin, don't you think the North American royalty has been a bit too quiet?"
King's words hit Dustin like a bolt of lightning, making him realize he had completely overlooked this key player.
As King sat there, his eyes fixed on the chaotic battle in the distance, he continued, "With a conflict of this scale, even though it's happening away from the city, it should have drawn some attention. But the North American royalty has been silent. I've brought in forces from Saudi, and normally, this would have triggered some negotiations. Unauthorized entry into another country is a big deal-it's practically an act of war. Yet, the royalty hasn't done anything. My informants have reported that they haven't even made a public statement." A chill seemed to wrap around Dustin as King narrowed his eyes. "Years ago, when I was working with the North American royalty on behalf of Saudi, they tried every trick in the book. At a dinner, they drugged my drink and even tried to marry me off to a princess. If I hadn't escaped, it could have brought shame to all of Saudi. Considering they stooped to such low tactics with me, how could they possibly be sincere in their dealings with the Lynch family?"
There had always been rumors that the royalty had offered a title to the Lynch family, which was declined. This only boosted the Lynch family's reputation, seemingly drawing them closer to the royalty. In return, the Lynch family had always been a staunch supporter of the nation, investing heavily in science, education, and other fields, with most of the funding for research institutes coming from them.
Dustin had always believed their relationship with the royalty was solid. However, King's words sparked a realization.
King, revered in Saudi as a "Child of God," commanded respect and belief, his reputation well-earned. With his concerns for Brielle momentarily set aside, Dustin's thoughts became clearer.
"Dustin, I suspect the royalty is backing the organization. They control healthcare, which can make many people compliant. Think about it, why is the drug problem so rampant here, with substances like marijuana being openly sold instead of suppressed? The organization has kidnapped numerous talented pharmacists, perfectly supplying the royalty with everything they desire."
For the first time, Dustin felt a cold shiver down his spine.
King's expression turned frosty.
"Every family involved in this conflict will be weakened, and the destroyed families' resources will revert to the royalty. The Lynch family will be severely damaged, allowing the royalty to easily eliminate them and take over the diamond resources. Meanwhile, most of my forces from Saudi have been mobilized here. On North American soil, they could be completely decimated, and then the royalty could claim to the international community that I, the Saudi leader, was the aggressor. This would legitimize their actions against Saudi and their claim to our oil."
It was a domino effect, aimed at controlling the world's most vital resources.

Their current inaction was not due to ignorance of the ongoing family wars but a calculated wait for Saudi forces to cross a certain line before striking back.
Once the royalty joined the fray, the Saudi forces would be trapped, and King's fate would be sealed.
His phone rang at that moment, his forces on the verge of crossing the line, seeking his command.
"Stay just outside that line in North America," he instructed, then dialed a number to a shadowy group aligned with Max.
"Remain hidden at all costs. Your

If the royalty had chosen to play dirty first, they had no reason to hold back. Let chaos reign.
