Chapter 08

Auteur: Lord Leaf
The next morning, Claire brought the file filled with proposals that she had prepared overnight and went to the Emgrand Group office with Charlie.

Standing in front of the 100-story building, Claire suddenly felt as if her heart was hollow and empty.

How could such a magnificent company like Emgrand collaborate with the Wilson family? Not to mention that they were aiming for a thirty million dollars deal.

It was like a beggar approaching a wealthy man and asking for a thirty million dollar change. It was absolutely ridiculous.

However, she had promised her grandmother and accepted the challenge in front of everyone, so she had to go for it no matter what…

Sensing her anxiety, Charlie stroked her head tenderly and said, “Dear, don’t worry, go ahead, you’ll make it. Trust me.”

Claire sighed dejectedly and murmured, “Alright, let’s hope so! Wait for me here.”

She took a deep breath and walked through the door.

As he watched her walking in, Charlie took out his phone and called Doris.

“Doris, my wife is going up to see you as we speak. You should know what to do!”

“Yes, Mr. Wade. Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill your missus’s every request.”

“By the way, I heard that Emgrand Group has a rather close connection with the Jones family. Is that true?”

“Yes, we did have a lot of projects with them, completed and ongoing. They wish to collaborate with us again on this new megaproject and they’ve submitted the proposals and materials for my review. However, it is up to you to decide, Mr. Wade.”

Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want the Jones family to be involved in the new project and any other projects in the future.”

“Yes, sure. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say!”

***

Meanwhile, Claire walked into Emgrand Group’s office building and waited for her appointment at the front desk. She didn’t even know if Doris Young, the company’s vice-chairman, would like to see her.

Not long after, a graceful female assistant approached her and began, “Hi, are you Miss Claire Wilson? Miss Young is waiting for you in her office, please follow me.”

Claire nodded in a trance. She was still waiting in line to make an appointment, how did Miss Young know she was here and call her in already?

Could it be that Doris Young knew she was coming?

It didn’t make sense though…how could a prominent individual like Doris Young know about her?

Although she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well grab the rare opportunity as she was given. She quickly followed the assistant and she was escorted directly to Doris’s office.

Doris stood up from her chair and greeted Claire respectfully. “Hi, Miss Wilson, I’m Doris Young, vice chairman of Emgrand Group, nice meeting you.”

Claire was a little nervous as she met the most famous businesswoman in Aurous Hill. She spoke, her voice trembling anxiously but staying calm, “Hello, Miss Young, thank you for seeing me. I’m here to talk to you about the hotel project. Although Wilson Group is not as strong and prominent as other companies, I can assure you that we work very hard and have established a very positive reputation in the interior design and decoration industry!”

She handed over a document file and continued, “Miss Young, this is Wilson Group’s portfolio, please have a look.”

Doris smiled gently and took the document from her. After a brief glance, she said immediately, “Miss Wilson, I’ve seen your documents, I think you are the perfect partner for us.”

“Really? Is it true?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. Why did it go so quickly and smoothly? It was a little too easy, wasn’t it?

Doris said with a smile, “Of course. I admit that Wilson Group does not match our requirements and qualifications, but our chairman thinks highly of you and he is willing to give it a shot.”

“Your chairman?” Claire said in a shocking tone, then asked, “May I know who your chairman is? ”

Doris smiled faintly. “Our chairman is Mr. Wade from Eastcliff.”

“Mr. Wade?”

Claire frowned in confusion. “I don’t think I know anyone by the last name of Wade except for my husband.”

Doris nodded gently. Charlie had ordered her not to disclose his identity, so she could only say that much.

Other than Charlie Wade, Claire didn’t know anyone by the last name of Wade, but she would never have guessed that her useless husband, who was an orphan, would be the Mr. Wade that Doris was referring to.

Then, Doris added, “Miss Wilson, I see in your proposal that your quotation for the agreement is thirty million dollars?”

Claire nodded anxiously and asked timidly, “Is it too much?”

Doris smiled and answered, “Oh no, it is actually less than what we have budgeted for.”

Claire furrowed curiously. “What do you mean?”

“Our chairman told me to increase the quotation to sixty million dollars.”

In the middle of the conversation, Doris retrieved a contract and handed it to Claire. “Look, we’ve drafted the contract in advance for a total of sixty million dollars. If you have no problem with it, we can sign the contract now.”

“Huh? This…”

Claire gaped, dumbfounded.

She had never expected that Emgrand Group, which seemed so unreachable from Wilson Group’s perspective, would prepare the contract beforehand!

Moreover, the amount had doubled!

Grandma’s goal for the project was 30 million dollars, but the contract literally stated 60 million dollars in black and white!

Suddenly, she recalled her husband’s serious and earnest face when he had asked her to accept the task at the family meeting the previous night.

Why was he so confident?

When they were at Emgrand Group’s entrance, she was very doubtful and pessimistic, but he seemed so positive and undaunted.

Could it be that he had known the outcome all along?

Who was he...

    The more stubborn the research crew was, the more motivated the Americans were to make them talk.The White House even issued directives—they were to seize the base and subdue and interrogate the entire crew, while confiscating all their equipment, which would be sent to experts for analysis of usage and the like.With orders direct from the White House, the colonel rallied the American forces and began searching the trail the rogue convoy had left behind while exploring the Antarctic.Charlie waited until they were all gone before leaving the Showa Base too. Still, he didn't return to the Norwegian base right away, instead connecting to satellite networks to send Merlin videos of the Americans abusing the Japanese research crew, along with them boarding armored vehicles and leaving Showa Base.Then, he called Merlin and instructed, "Have the AI module gather contact details of major online influencers—preferably emails, and send them the videos through secure links."Naturally,

    After being exposed to sub-zero temperatures, the Japanese crew returned indoors with normal temperatures. The difference of over a hundred degrees immediately left their skin flushed like it was burnt, and the itch got worse than when they were outside, some of them scratching themselves so hard they were bleeding all over.The colonel was surprised that less than a minute outside was enough to inflict such damage.Even he began to worry that he had overdone it.If the Japanese cranked up their protests and the White House felt compelled to do something, he's going to be punished for it.Still, he soon decided he didn't care—the more they dug into this incident, the more suspicious everything looked.If they gave up, they would be missing a huge opportunity—but if they pressed on, he might just score big.They were supposed to move the Japanese crew here to McMurdo base anyway. Since they were hurt, he just had to keep them here a little while until they recover. If they complai

    However, Charlie wasn't about to let the Americans get away with it. He would show evidence to the whole world that they had sent their military to Antarctica.-The Americans moved quickly. In just a couple of hours, they gathered everyone and all the equipment they brought, doing prechecks on their aircraft and transport. The efficiency to do that in such a sub-zero climate was certainly impressive in itself.After just a couple of hours, their aircraft landed near the Showa Base. In an instant, the Navy SEALS and multiple infantry transports surrounded the base.The research crew at Showa Base was still doing Barlin's bidding and exploring the Antarctic. As most of the members weren't around, the Americans quickly seized control and demanded that they radio the others and call them back to base.However, the crew in the base was still fiercely loyal to Barlin and would rather die than betray him. Since their colleagues were out doing Barlin's bidding, no one caved to the colone

    While Goro made a mad dash to the interrogation room, Kohei's body was dangling lifelessly from the washroom door frame.He had hanged himself with his thermal pants, which were woven from materials developed especially for polar regions. It was warm, soothed the skin, breathable, and durable… and now, also proved that it could hang an adult man weighing over 140 pounds.Eerily, unlike others who took their own lives, there was no pain on Kohei's face at all—only a smile of relief.Even as Goro and the Americans present were left standing there helplessly, the medic in their research base hurried over and cut Kohei loose. He attempted resuscitation while trying to feel for a pulse or heartbeat, but Kohei was dead as a doornail.The research base was not a jail or precinct. There weren't any specialized holding cells, and they simply moved Kohei to an empty cabin when they were done with interrogating him. The guards stayed outside to stop him from running, but none of them expect

    Even if those drills could punch through rocks, it was simply not suitable for mining. The drill bit diameter was 122mm—no wider than a kid's bowl. Even if they find gold, the tiny drill wouldn't be precise enough to recoup the equipment costs, let alone the fuel consumption.That was why the Americans quickly agreed that he was lying and was up to something else, and worked on every other crew member.However, no matter what they did, the other crew member wasn't talking at all—literally. Hell, they were even less competent than Kohei because Kohei at least came up with a lie that insulted their intelligence.After all, with the mind-bending technique still active in their minds, they were not bothered by anything the Americans did. Either way, they were not ratting out their lord.That was how powerful that technique was, denying a person even their sense of self-preservation.Meanwhile, the Navy Seals were returning and gathering around McMurdo Base. After the modified transpor

    Barlin kept marching south through the frigid Antarctic night.Even if the cold didn't bother him, it was rapidly draining his Reiki and stamina.He could dig a hole when he arrived dozens of miles away to rest, but the American military had left him completely traumatized and he really didn't want to die.So instead he found himself running some 120 miles, reaching a place where no penguin would nest, and projected a Reiki sword, blowing a hole three feet wide and some ninety feet deep.To cover his tracks, he made sure to melt the ice fragments around the hole into grain-sized pieces, which were blown up into the air by the raging winds and quickly disappeared.After he jumped in, he used Reiki to melt the ice around the hole and send the ice water upward.The sub-zero temperatures froze the water and covered the hole, sealing Barlin inside like a caterpillar.His plan here was simply to wait for the Antarctic summer, while putting on hold his plan to explore the continent for

    The final result was a shocking conclusion. When he came to the auction, he thought that having the pill improve his body’s condition and lessen his risk of cancer recurrence would be more than good enough.Yet, the amazing results went beyond his expectations. Never had he dreamt of such a wondrous
