At the same time, as soon as the defensive force on the front collapsed, thousands of government soldiers would immediately rush up. At that time, Hamed’s troops would have nowhere to escape. The commanding officer of the first echelon spoke through the intercom system of Ten Thousand Armies, “My team is already ready for battle. I would like the second echelon to confirm their current assembly situation.”The voice of the commanding officer of the second echelon sounded on the intercom system, “Our team has basically finished assembling, and we are currently confirming our equipment before the war.”The commanding officer of the first echelon immediately spoke up, “My team is requesting to launch an attack. I’m asking Commander Carter for approval to do so!”Zayne replied with great enthusiasm, “Approved! Attack immediately! I want you to get rid of all of their soldiers on the front within ten minutes! Avenge our dead brothers!”“Yes!” The commanding officer of the first echelo
“Ambushed?!”Zayne felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, and he asked quickly, “What is going on exactly? What kind of ambush is it?!”The commanding officer was sobbing as he replied, “An explosion! A very powerful explosion! They must have planted a lot of explosives, and the explosion set off a large number of metal fragments. Both my eyes have already been blinded. My legs and my hands are also wounded, but I can no longer identify the extent of my injuries!”“How could that happen?!” Zayne’s heart started throbbing wildly when he heard the other party’s description of the situation.The two echelons that had parachuted in tonight were the strongest soldiers and commanding officers under Zayne’s command. When Zayne heard the news that his own subordinates had already been blinded and that their bodies were all covered in wounds at this moment because of the explosion, Zayne really wanted to jump down and rescue them himself.The background of the intercom system was
This way, the one thousand elites that Zayne had sent over there had already been completely assassinated by the opponent!They were obviously the ones who were going to launch a surprise attack on the opponent. Moreover, all the elites that he had dispatched today were the most suitable for the decapitation mission. Yet, how did more than half of them end up getting killed and injured from the explosion as soon as they had just landed? How did the enemy strategize and come up with all of these arrangements in advance?!Just as Zayne was still feeling extreme self-doubt, Hamed’s soldiers had already begun attacking in full force!Hamed had already divided the entire base into five areas according to Charlie’s instructions. Each area was then in turn divided into dozens of different coordinated locations according to the location of the detonation points. Therefore, the soldiers in each fortification knew which detonation points had exploded according to the coordinates marked on
As soon as Onizuka’s words fell, the sound of fierce gunfire started ringing around him.At this moment, although there were still more than a small number of people who were still alive, almost all of their lives were hanging by a thread. They no longer had even ten percent of their ability left to hold their guns.Moreover, even if they could still hold a gun, their bodies had already suffered considerable damage in the explosion. So, how could they possibly have any large-scale combat effectiveness at this time?Furthermore, even though Hamed’s soldiers were not highly trained, they could still cause highly detrimental damages in a battle.They knew that they were poorly trained and that they lacked in strength, but they also knew that their opponent was now wounded. So, they did not even rush in directly to fight or kill them. Instead, they engaged in various firepower suppression from a distance away. In addition to the intensive bullets, many soldiers with stronger arms als
Even if these paratroopers were all elites of Ten Thousand Armies and they had a very comprehensive and complete set of weaponry, this group of people simply did not have the opportunity to exert and put their advantages to use at all under Charlie’s tactical arrangements.In the face of a powerful explosion, even a torrent of steel would not be able to withstand it, let alone these people made out of flesh and blood.Hamed, who had learned of the total annihilation of the enemy, was extremely thrilled and excited. He personally went to the area where the first echelon of Ten Thousand Armies had died and watched his soldiers clean up the battlefield under the light from the strong flashlight. His heart was overwhelmed with excitement. He had fought two all-conquering and victorious battles one after the other today, and this was the most glorious moment in his life.Just as he was feeling extremely exhilarated, his adjutant came over with the same amount of excitement and report
After experiencing two battles in one day, Hamed’s heart gradually changed from his initial nervousness and anxiety into his current excitement and exuberance. In addition, he also felt some kind of liberal and joyful feeling after going all out with the readiness to risk everything.In his heart, Hamed understood that he had killed two to three thousand mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies twice, thus completely tying the knot with Ten Thousand Armies.Since this matter had already come to this, he might as well stick to the course.So, Hamed had a cold expression on his face as he asked his adjutant, “Has the battlefield been fully cleaned up?”“It’s almost done.” The adjutant spoke up, “We have basically cleaned up all of the weapons and equipment that we can use.”“Good!” Hamed had a cold expression on his face as he said, “Gather and put all these incendiary grenades away in a bunker that is away from the personnel. These weapons should not be carried with you unless it is
The adjutant hurriedly said, “Commander, it would not be appropriate for you to call him so late at night, right? Won’t it affect Mr. Wade’s rest?”Hamed scolded, “I’ve asked you to read more when you have nothing else to do, but you simply chose not to listen to what I’ve said! Oskia and our country are not in the same time zone. It is 3.30 am here, but it is already 8.30 am on his side!”***When Charlie woke up, he was just thinking that Hamed must have experienced another big and tough battle last night.However, he was not worried about Hamed.This was because he knew that Hamed had already arranged more than a hundred detonation points throughout his base. This was already a devilish level of defense.It would be impossible for the enemy to defeat him with this level of defense. Sure enough, after he had just finished eating his breakfast, Hamed’s phone call came.As soon as the call was connected, Hamed said excitedly, “Brother Wade, you’re really insightful! They did i
At the same time, at a cemetery on the outskirts of Eastcliff.Porter, who was wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses, was holding a bunch of white chrysanthemums in his hand as he walked up to a cemetery where a couple was buried together.A dozen young men who were also wearing black clothes were following behind him. There were people of all races amongst these men, all of whom looked extraordinary.Amongst them, the White-Clothed Tiger King, Hunter Lang, who was usually very fond of white clothes, was also dressed in black clothing from head to toe.Porter slowly stood in front of the tombstones, and two streams of tears flowed from behind his sunglasses as he stared at the words and photos on the tombstones. He was stunned for a moment before he knelt on the ground with a thud. After that, he took off his sunglasses, and he choked up as he said with flushed red eyes, “Dad… Mom… Your son is here to see you! Forgive me for being unfilial… I hope that your spirits
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I
As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.
Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
