LOGINEven with the Left Military Governorate subtly increasing shale oil production each passing year, the IRS would just ignore that. However, they were always monitoring closely every cent flowing in and out of their organization. Naturally, an increase in oil production means hundreds of millions in additional profits, but it couldn't be sold through standard distributors, since they had to keep it secret from Fleur Griffin.That was why the Left Military Governorate would first sell their stock to the Gettys off the books, who would then smuggle the oil to their own refinery. They would then inflate the numbers as they mixed the acquired oil with what they had themselves, and then sell it through standard distributors.After refinement, the oil would be distributed through Getty's global network and, through multiple rounds of transactions, eventually converted into untraceable commodities like gold or cash.And with this gray connection tying them together, David Getty—Wallis' hus
Horus frowned. "Elder Griffin…? Oh, he was saying he wanted to check out Mexico a few days ago, and I arranged for his transport. "Esteban sighed in relief. "Good. His presence Stateside is more or less troublesome, and it's even more troublesome if he notices anything and tells Her Lordship when he returns to her."Nodding and waving him off again, Esteban said, "Alright, just go. And stick to the plan.""Yes, sir," Horus bowed and turned to leave.The present base of the Left Military Governorate was in an affluent district here in Miami. Naturally, they didn't plant themselves at the richest neighborhood for ease of movement, instead setting up a yacht club by the bay where countless ships moved without drawing anyone's attention.With both sea and land being viable routes, they were naturally much more secure.Esteban had picked Miami precisely to make full use of the Scholar lineage in the Gettys, and to have the Gettys sell off unplanned barrels of oil.For the convenienc
The Rothschilds had always been a titan in trading, and their game plan was always to overwhelm their rivals with their sheer scale. If anyone wanted to cling to the Rothschilds, they would have to satisfy themselves with meager profits that wouldn't draw the family's attention. Otherwise, anyone trying to ride the wave of their success would be devoured whole too.That was why the third idea was stupid—the risk was high especially when betting big. And after much consideration, Esteban went with the third idea. It was safer—instead of hitting the futures market, they just had to stockpile while using small leverage to acquire more shares off the books. Once prices inflated again, they'd sell all their stockpile for a quick, hefty profit with the price difference. Even if the price fluctuated again afterward, there was no risk of suffering too much losses.Hence, he summoned his confidant—Horus Daven, praetor of the Left Military Governorate."Pay a visit to the Gettys and mee
Always listening, the Left Military Governorate immediately caught wind.They might be a feudal lordship under the rule of the Qing Eliminating Society at the moment, but they hd also been making their own moves to further private agendas.Over the last few years, they had been making money through faking their numbers in their respective businesses. And making money had become so addicting that Esteban—the Left Military Governor himself was always watching every day to find any ideas to make even more.He had certainly been getting rich with the recent surge in oil prices. Like any stock market investor, he bought stocks that kept hitting the daily inflation limit, but even though he had plenty of money now, he was always watching out for the next big thing.Naturally, the core members of the Left Military Governorate were all his family and cronies, working in perfect tandem as he moved. Once they learned from Rachel that the Rothschilds intended to use the Middle East Conflict t
The trio's faces stiffened, but soon they nodded and replied, "Yes, Ms. Getty."Getting into her room and locking the door, Rachel whipped out her phone and called her mother Wallis, who was waiting anxiously back home in Miami.Wallis had already informed the Left Military Governorate before Rachel met Julien, and they were thrilled. They naturally understood that Rob was insignificant to the Rothschilds but weren't giving up yet—if anything, that last name carried considerable weight on this side of the world. Even just having Rachel marry him would be a merit noted by Fleur herself.And now, they had Julien too—if they could really make things work with Julien, that was a major accomplishment under the belt of the Left Military Governorate.That was why the Left Military Governorate was keen to know all the details of Rachel's meeting with Julien, including why Julien had sought out Rob and what they had talked about.Since Rachel and Rob confirmed they were dating, Left Mili
Even now, Rachel was still convinced that she would have to marry Rob no matter what.That was why she couldn't accept her future husband staying as a nobody in the Rothschild family.Before, the kid wouldn't even have a chance to glimpse the hierarchy of his extended family—the most he could do was become the head of his collateral family.But now, Rob had basically found providence in Julien, who could improve her odds of marrying Rob. And that mysterious Mr. Cooper whom Julien had bent backward to fawn over would be providence for her and her family too.Rob too understood profoundly at that moment that her girlfriend's political acumen far surpassed his, and that her explanations afforded him a clearer view of the many little things that governed his own life.Hence, he promptly pressed Rachel, "So you're saying I should try to keep in touch with my granduncle?""Of course," Rachel replied, nodding. "And not just stay in his good graces, but prove that you're loyal to him alo
