LOGINIt was 5pm as Charlie and Vera strolled leisurely across Stanford's campus. The students were emerging from the buildings, heading toward the numerous courts. There were outdoor basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, and many other sports facilities occupying any free space. Stanford wasn't sports-oriented, but college sports teams were central to the local culture and occupy much of a player's schedule. As soon as class was over, they'd be out there, conducting drills and training. Vera seemed to enjoy the vibe and would stop to watch each sport, and Charlie could tell from her expression that she liked that life. It made sense—she was still basically seventeen, when a person was brimming with energy and strenuous activities like sports appealed to them the most. Eventually, they arrived courtside to watch the college football team holding a practice drill. The coaches had divided the team into two groups, and both sides fought fiercely. It was the court with most
However, Julien dared not even look upset at Charlie, merely nodding and said, "Very well, Mr. Wade. You can call me anytime."Jakel was alarmed, and couldn't help but ponder who Charlie and Vera really were. It was already astonishing that these two individuals as young as them were personally acquainted with Julien Rothschild, and was all the more shocked to see Julien fawning over Charlie.And Charlie didn't even look fazed, as if it was only natural that Julien kept fawning over him!On the other hand, Julien presumptuously assumed that Charlie brought Vera so that she could be admitted to Stanford, and beckoned Jakel, "Come, Mr. White—let's take a walk. There's something I should tell you anyway."Jakel was naturally delighted—he was less worried that Julien would disrespect him than Julien ignoring him completely. The fact that Julien wanted to talk at least offered him a chance to speak with the second-highest authority of the Rothschilds! So he quickly arranged for hi
Charlie wasn't sure why his mother had reached that conclusion, but he agreed with Vera's point of view. Some people could deduce entire revelations from a handful of clues, or through the basic but unwritten underlying laws and logic. The best example of the former was Merlin. While he used to think Vera was the best example of the latter, he now thought his mother must be on par with Vera as well.For Vera's part, she didn't need to wait to check with Ashley—the image in her mind couldn't be clearer.Back then, Ashley and Curtis must have discovered decisive proof of mysticism, and through the few clues left behind by those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, quickly deduced that these people didn't come from Earth.Judging from her request to Stanford for a collaboration, Ashley must have initially approached this matter with a scientific mindset and perspective. However, the scientific approach ultimately failed, and she gradually turned to mys
Because these were classified documents that could not be distributed, there were no electronic versions or electronic retrieval systems. Otherwise, simply typing "Ashley Acker" into a computer would automatically bring up all the documents. Here, they could only search for Ashley's name through the yearly editions of the Yellow Pages. Each file had a corresponding title, printed in a Yellow Pages book each year so finding Ashley's name there would lead to related content. However, this method only found records primarily about Ashley—if the record's main subject was someone else while Ashley was of secondary importance, the Yellow Pages headings would likely not mention her name. Interestingly, Charlie and Vera quickly found some content related to Ashley, but it wasn't about any specific studies she led or important events involving her. Instead, it documented interactions between the Stanford administration and the CIA, including a file titled 'Recommendation to the CIA Regardin
Ever since meeting Ashley and learning her identity, Vera had been incredibly curious about her.She certainly admired Ashley, hiding from Fleur for so long just like her. However, in Vera's case, she was only thinking of avoiding discovery, never turning the tables. Ashley, however, was the complete opposite. From the day she faked her death to go into hiding, she had been secretly fighting against Fleur and her interests. Although she and her team were far less powerful than Fleur, her courage alone was something Vera worshipped.Furthermore, although Vera had also studied at Stanford, she had always been a quiet learner, never daring to excel in any field. Ashley, on the other hand, was one of Stanford's most outstanding alumni in recent years. Many of her business ventures were futurist, and she was one of Silicon Valley's top angel investors.Therefore, on this return trip, besides reminiscing, Vera also intended to study up on Ashley, since she'd be talking to the other
Despite being Stanford's president, Jakel wasn't all that focused on academic development—he knew how the game worked for polite society, and its unspoken rules better than anyone.That was just how things were different here than elsewhere—money could get you into Stanford, or perhaps Harvard and MIT. If it weren't for their children's education, wealthy businessmen wouldn't be donating millions to such elite universities.Therefore, even Jackel knew that he should be bending himself backward to the truly powerful—especially the very best, like the Rothschilds.Seeing that bringing up Julien worked so well, Charlie dispensed with courtesy and turned to Vera, "Ms. Lavor, if there's any place you have in mind, just ask Mr. White here."Vera nodded cheerfully, and turned to Jakel. " I'd like to visit the archives, specifically on papers and records that aren't publicly available." Jakel was surprised. A young girl was here in Stanford, but instead of touring the campus with the p

Summer shook her head before she smiled and said, “Actually, I am going to the United States after a while. I am going to settle down there, and I am not going to come back to Aurous Hill anymore.”At this time, Elaine asked in surprise, “How are you planning to settle down in the United States?”Summ
However, it was a pity that he did it the wrong way. That was the reason why this filial son was now regarded as a beast by everyone.After two whole days of fermentation, the death of Masao Kobayashi, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, had aroused a great deal of attention in Japan.Under the vigorous
Anthony really did not expect Charlie to say good things about him and his granddaughter at this time. He was very grateful and humble as he said, “Lord Moore, Mr. Wade is too humble. In fact, Mr. Wade was the one who helped you avert this crisis. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been able to wake y
