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
Porter seemed to have sensed something at this time, and he spoke in a cold voice, “What’s the matter? Just say it!”Hunter was a little shocked and horrified. However, he quickly calmed himself down as he stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Lord, the Green-Eyed Wolf King sent a battle report, and he said that the one thousand elites that he had sent out were all ambushed by the enemy after parachuting and landing in Hamed’s base. All one thousand men were completely wiped out!”“What?!” Porter quickly stood up, turned around, and grabbed Hunter by his collar as he asked angrily, “One thousand elites from Ten Thousand Armies who took the initiative to launch a surprise attack on those stragglers and disbanded soldiers were all completely wiped out? Are you kidding me?!”Hunter, who had been grabbed at his neck, could not move at all, and he spoke up with much difficulty, “Lord… Lord… Everything that I’ve said… was all… was all written in the text message that the Green-Eyed Wo
Although Porter, who had always been very strong, was extremely angry, at this moment, he knew very well that he could not leave Oskia before the Tomb Sweeping Festival. Otherwise, if anything were to happen and delay his plan to take revenge, how could he possibly face his parents who had died tragically so many years ago?Therefore, Porter could only continue pinning his hopes on Zayne.However, Porter also knew that Zayne might not have any other ways to reduce the number of casualties while dealing with the other party directly. Therefore, Porter had givenZayne his own solution in order to prevent Zayne from taking the wrong path again. “Since that b*stard, Hamed, has built his own base into an iron barrel, we will just surround him completely so that they will be completely isolated and helpless while they await their own doom!”A siege was actually a very cruel tactic. As long as the besieging party had sufficient troops to block off everything and have a steady and consta
Therefore, a large number of stragglers came to seek refuge with Hamed just after dawn in Syria.Immediately after that, several leaders of smaller opposition forces also brought their teams with them to seek refuge with Hamed.The vast majority of these people were worried that they would be wiped out soon. So, after seeing Hamed’s powerful strength, they decided to come and seek refuge with him in exchange for a chance to save their own lives.So, after only half a day, Hamed had accepted more than five thousand men into his base.Two days later, Hamed had already accepted more than eight thousand men into his base, and the total number of people in his base had already exceeded ten thousand men. His entire base was instantly overcrowded with people.Hamed carried out Charlie’s instructions resolutely, and regardless of whether it was a small team of ten men or a large team of one thousand men, as long as they came to rely on him, that team would have to be broken up before bein
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
