Chapter 4362

Author: Lord Leaf
The conversation with the police commissioner only lasted for a short ten minutes, but Merlin felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

He was well aware of the mayor’s intention for him to retire early, and even if he had not pushed the blame onto him directly, in the eyes of the public, he would still be the one taking the fall for it.

Letting Merlin retire early was a punishment for him.

When the time came, they would then exaggerate Merlin’s contribution to New York and subtly relay the message to the people that Merlin was considered someone who had dedicated his life and career to the New York citizens for so many years even though he had not done a good job this time. It could also be counted as hard work and now, Merlin already knew that he was wrong, and he had taken the initiative to request for an early retirement. So, everyone should see how hard he had worked for New York for most of his life and not be too hard on him.

I prefer to listen to the novel. Mostly because I’m at work and can’t read them. But it stops all the time and can’t ever seem to unlock it because the sound is never there and it’s only there for 1 maybe 2 books not all.

    Christian sighed and spoke up as he said, “In truth, you shouldn’t have investigated those murderers...”Merlin said helplessly, “What’s done is already done. It’s too late to talk about it now. Furthermore, my character will not allow me to turn a blind eye to this kind of crime that uses violence against crime.”Christian hummed and asked him, “So, what are your next plans?”Merlin said, “I’m going back to the police station to hand over my work now, and I will start my retirement officially tomorrow.”Having said that, he remembered something and said, “Is your father doing better now? Why don’t I go over to Los Angeles to see him? He was really seriously ill, and it’s really unjustified if I do not go to see him.”Christian said, “You don’t have to come to Los Angeles anymore. My mother wants to go to New York to watch Miss Golding’s concert, and she requires that all of us children will also have to be present. My father was convinced by her, and we will be going together at

    The next day happened to be a Saturday.Claire had already set her heart on going to New York to see the concert and so, she proposed to Charlie that she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to New York earlier as she wanted to take a stroll around New York, go to the concert at night, and then stay in New York for the night before strolling around New York for another day again tomorrow before they came back on Sunday night.Charlie also felt that his wife had been working too hard in her classes and so, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to let his wife relax and unwind.Therefore, Charlie agreed to Claire’s proposal without any hesitation and asked someone to help him book a suite at Shangri-La in New York. After the both of them had had breakfast, they drove to New York.According to Claire’s previous knowledge of New York, Charlie took her to Times Square first and then to see the famous Statue of Liberty. While the two of them were touring around,

    When Charlie heard this, he could not help but frown slightly. He had indeed had this vague feeling that his grandmother’s family might come to support and cheer for Quinn, but he did not expect that his guess would really be right.In order to avoid any direct contact with his grandmother’s family, Charlie had not wanted to attend the concert.But on one hand, he didn’t want to make his wife sad, and on the other hand, there was a VIP room. Therefore, he hadn’t taken it too seriously. Now, when he heard that Lady Acker was here with Lord Acker, he spoke up and said, “The visitor is a guest and so, Miss Golding, you should be nice and entertain them.”Quinn said, “Master Wade, I think so too, but there is another situation. The two elderlies are old and have a rather special status. I’m afraid that it would not really be appropriate if I were to let them watch my performance in the auditorium. So, my idea is to arrange for them to be in the VIP room so that the two elderlies can

    Claire seemed to understand Charlie’s Feng Shui theory. She had always felt as though it made sense, but she also felt that it was a little mysterious. However, she was in awe of the things that she did not understand most of the time and so, she did not ask any questions. Meanwhile, Charlie, who was next to her, was already feeling a little nervous and uneasy at this time.He was not worried that he would be exposed in front of his grandfather’s family at night, but he couldn’t help but have a nostalgic feeling.Although he had had some complaints about what his grandfather’s family had done back then, subconsciously, he still had a blood relationship with his mother’s natal family. Tonight would be the first time that he would be so close to them in more than twenty years, and it was inevitable for him to feel nervous.Meanwhile, Charlie’s grandparents and several of their children had arrived at Ark Building in Manhattan.As they took the elevator all the way up to the t

    There were many insurance and financial services companies worldwide. However, only a handful of them could afford to build a skyscraper in Manhattan, where land was expensive. Ark Group was among said handful. The Acker family started their business in Los Angeles, but they grew bigger after they expanded to Silicon Valley and New York.Many years ago, Ashley invested in a large number of companies with great potential in Silicon Valley at a very low price. In order to better help these investments in their capital planning, the Acker family went to the financial center of the United States, New York, and built the core of their family’s business there. The Acker family had many subsidiaries under their group, which also included investment companies. However, Ark Group remained the Acker family’s core business. After the establishment of Ark Group, Ashley merged her investment funds in Silicon Valley into Ark Group. Ark Group suddenly became the country’s largest Internet vent

    Everyone was stunned by Keith’s sudden anger, and looked at each other in dismay.They knew Keith could never get over it. He couldn’t understand why Curtis insisted on returning to Eastcliff. The Acker family was powerful enough to keep him and were sincere towards him, yet Curtis staunchly refused to stay. Even so, everyone knew how egoistical Keith could get. When dealing with Curtis, he was always arrogant and unyielding. He was akin to a superior eager to poach a good talent. He was willing to pay ten million or more for a talent who could only make one million in another company.In his view, the other party had no reason to reject him.He never imagined that Curtis would be unwilling to accept his offer and ended up rejecting him. The thought frustrated and infuriated Keith to no end.Initially, Keith admired Curtis very much. Curtis’s family might be less significant than the Acker family, but Curtis had potential in him. He could be better than Keith’s three sons combi

    Holly sighed, helpless.She solemnly reminded her father, “Keith, I have to make this clear to you. I can’t curb your hatred for Curtis, but you have to change how you feel about him.” Keith, however, remained stubborn and lost his temper. “No! I won’t change! Even if I die, I won’t change how I feel about Curtis!”At that, Holly grew furious. “Good! Keep acting stubborn and don’t change, Dad! When Charlie comes home, the family will mention Ashley and Curtis. How about you say all that to him? He’ll definitely sever all ties with you after hearing what you’ve said about his father. If you send my grandson away, I’ll cut ties with you too! Just wait and see!”Keith’s anger immediately dissipated as Holly’s warning hit him.He knew it was unlikely for Holly to cut ties with him, but it was different with his grandson. Charlie might not forgive him if he insisted on hating Curtis. After all, no children could bear to hear others humiliating their late parents.As Keith thought of

    Listening to Merlin’s reply, Keith sensed there were a lot of stories behind Merlin’s hardships.Keith said, “It’s alright, I don’t mind listening. We can have a long chat at the table later.” Keith had just recovered from a close brush with death. He had serious memory problems, and he was wholly unaware of the current happenings in the United States.However, he understood Merlin well and knew Merlin to be a stubborn brat who couldn’t admit defeat. Therefore, he found himself getting more and more curious about what Merlin had to say. Merlin knew it was impossible to explain everything to Keith with just a few words. Therefore, he said vaguely, “Alright, Uncle Keith. I shouldn’t bother you with my troubles. Why don’t I join you for a couple of drinks later?”At this, Holly said, “Merlin, you mustn't drink with Keith. If Keith drinks again, I’m afraid he might not even recognize me!”“Right, right, right.” Merlin realized what he had just said and hurriedly amended his words.

    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
