The subordinate’s report shook him. Merlin quickly asked, “What did you find?!”The subordinate immediately reported, “I discovered Quinn’s itinerary before she went to the airport yesterday. She was at the same place as you!”“What?!” Merlin was the inspector, and he knew what that meant. He jumped in shock and demanded, “When was that?!”The subordinate answered, “She went to the Fox family’s manor yesterday afternoon. After that, she went to a restaurant in Oskiatown. Not long after that, you went to the same restaurant with Mr. Acker!”“F*ck!” Merlin cursed. “That explains it!”Merlin was a little disappointed to hear that. He wanted to investigate Quinn more, hoping it could lead to the hidden mysterious figure protecting her.He also concluded that Quinn must have a strong intelligence network, since she was able to receive the news regarding Keith’s illness in such a short time.After listening to the subordinate’s report, he realized that it was just a coincidence and hi

Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and called his subordinate again. “Did you find any other surveillance probes? It’s better if you can get footage of the other side.”His subordinate answered, “No, this is the only surveillance video that can capture the restaurant’s entrance.”Merlin cursed, furious. “F*ck! I’ve already suggested to the mayor to allocate funds to set up a surveillance system in New York, but he’s reluctant to approve it. Just look at Oskia. Their surveillance coverage rate in first-tier cities has already exceeded ninety-five percent! Look at New York! It wasn’t until last year that all the subway stations were covered in surveillance!”The subordinate felt helpless. “Sir, even if we have a surveillance system, it’ll be useless. Even if we installed one hundred thousand surveillance cameras, half of it will be smashed by thugs the next day, and the remaining half will probably be demolished by homeless vagrants in exchange for cigarettes and hamburgers…”Merlin s

Merlin sensed that the young man must’ve been harboring some secrets. He could be crazy or strong, but even so, he still needed enough confidence. Merlin wondered why and how that young man gained the confidence to confront Xavion.To Merlin, this young man might be the breakthrough he needed for this case.Now, Merlin had a new worry. He didn’t know how to get in touch with that young man. If he approached the man without any justifiable reasons, the man would doubt his motives.When smart people sensed something was wrong, they would immediately take countermeasures and keep their guard up. If that happened, Merlin wouldn’t be able to find any breakthrough to help him with the case. While he was troubled over this matter, Christian suddenly called. Merlin didn’t hesitate to answer.On the other side, Christian cut to the chase and asked, “Lammy, do you have any new findings?”Christian didn’t sleep much last night as well. He simply couldn’t understand how and where Quinn got

Merlin said, “If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn’t she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs.”Then, he added, “Also, she didn’t leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”“That’s…” Christian couldn’t answer. Finally, he surmised, “Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?”Merlin sighed. “Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”Christian urged, “Okay, then don’t overthink anymore. I’ve just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.” Merlin laughed. “Turn the tide… I don’t think anyone can fix thi

Merlin was furious to hear his subordinate’s report. He didn’t expect to find so many corpses in New York not long after Homer and Finley’s death. To make matters worse, each of them was an influential figure.Merlin demanded, “Did forensics go too?”The subordinate answered, “Yes, they went. Even the FBI got the news and sent someone for investigation.”With a sullen face, Merlin asked grimly, “When did they die?”“Last night,” the subordinate answered immediately. “Forensics reported that they died less than eight hours ago.”“D*mn it!” Merlin roared. “The perpetrators are definitely the same people who killed Homer and Finley…”Then, he immediately ordered, “Hurry and tell them to transfer all the corpses to the morgue of the autopsy center. Don’t let any media get close, or accept any interview by the media! If anyone dares to leak out any information to the media and I catch him, I won’t spare him!”The subordinate responded in an instant. “I’ll pass the message at once!”

With a long sigh, Merlin said helplessly, “But… The impact this incident will have on the New York police will be terrible. If we announce it now, it’ll make headlines immediately. The mayor and councilors will call us in less than minutes. I wouldn’t know how to deal with it…”He added, “I know it’s impossible to hide this kind of thing. For now, I’ll have to leave the police station first. If any scandals are exposed later on, the director can explain them to the media. I’ll take this opportunity to hide. I’m retiring soon, and I can’t become a public enemy of the whole nation before I retire.” Christian replied, “That makes sense. It’d be good if you can avoid this scandal. Well, stay safe and contact me if there’s anything.”“Right.” Merlin hung up and hurriedly packed his things before hurrying out of the building. As soon as he got into the car and was about to make his way to the Fox family manor, he received a push notification from the world’s largest video platform.The

After hanging up, Merlin immediately barked at his subordinate, “Don’t go to the autopsy center anymore. Go to the Fox Group!”The subordinate asked, “Sir, why are you going to the Fox Group? They’re holding a press conference soon. Almost all the media in New York is there. If you go at this time, won’t you…”The subordinate stammered, hesitating. He was unable to finish his sentence. Merlin demanded coldly, “Won’t I what? Finish your words!”The subordinate mustered his courage and said honestly, “Won’t you… Walk right into the trap?”Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and roared, “F*ck you! I’m a policeman, not a murderer! How am I walking right into a trap?”The subordinate panicked and said anxiously, “But… The media are all waiting to interview you…”Merlin knew all too well that his subordinate was right. So many major cases happened overnight in New York, and all of them had a connection to the deaths of countless innocent women. Naturally, the reporters in New York woul

As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
