Charlie’s cold command made Christian’s heart sink.Growing up, Merlin was Christian’s best friend. Yet, his best friend died today because of his family. Even then, Christian couldn’t even tell Merlin’s family about his death. How could Christian accept it?However, Christian was not a naive child, and neither was he a fool. He knew the current situation was completely out of his hands.He was blessed to have survived the calamity. What more could he ask for?The only thing he could do after today’s events was to make it up to Merlin’s family.Christian nodded obediently. “Thank you. I understand. I’ll do as you say!” Charlie used this indisputable tone to stop Christian from entertaining any other thoughts. He made Christian act as per his wish.He was glad to see that Christian had accepted the reality, and so, he simply closed the door as he left.Then, he took out his cell phone and called Porter as he walked to the elevator.When the phone connected, Porter’s voice came
Quinn was completely unaware of the events that had transpired in the VIP area. She appeared on stage in a futuristic warrior costume, and her fans in the audience shouted wildly in excitement. Charlie was glad to see the concert had started normally without any hiccups.The best solution for tonight’s event was to clean up the mess while the concert went on. They must not attract any attention from outsiders and police.Otherwise, panic might surface among the crowd. If thousands of people flock to flee, resulting in a stampede, there might be more casualties and death.Thus, Charlie and the ones involved must take this chance to clean up the mess as soon as possible. They would let Dorothy announce that the venue would be closed for upgrading. Then, they would demolish the VIP area, including the floors, walls, and ceiling, and bury everything. Too much blood was shed today. Even if they could clean the place, there might be DNA residue in the floor gaps and deep walls.They mu
“What?!” Kathleen was shocked to hear Charlie’s thoughts.She simply couldn’t understand it. Why was Charlie so against reuniting with his grandfather, Keith Acker?At the same time, Kathleen received a call from one of her men. The man reported, “Miss, the leader of the Ten Thousand Armies has arrived. We’ve led him in.”“I see,” Kathleen answered, before informing Charlie, “Mr. Wade, Mr. Waldron is here.”As she spoke, the lights of the elevators flashed. After a short moment, the doors opened. Porter rushed out with the Ten Thousand Armies soldiers trailing behind him.When he saw Charlie, he immediately put his hand together and greeted Charlie respectfully, “Mr. Wade, forgive my tardiness.”The soldiers put their hands together and apologized in unison, “Forgive us!” Charlie said indifferently, “Not at all, you all arrived very quickly.”Porter asked, “Mr. Wade, what’s the situation now? What should we do?” Charlie said, “There’s one guy with all broken limbs still aliv
Charlie nodded. “Good. Thanks for your hard work.”Porter asked, “By the way, Mr. Wade. There were four martial artists inside. What’s their rank? How did they die so tragically?” Charlie replied indifferently, “One six-star martial artist, two seven-star martial artists, and one eight-star martial artist.”“One eight-star martial artist?!” Porter’s jaw dropped from the shock.As everyone knew, the highest rank as a martial artist would be eight stars, which correspond to the eight meridian channel. Those with all eight meridian channels connected would be known as eight-star martial artists.Porter’s current strength was just a little stronger than an eight-star martial artist. He didn’t expect to see another eight-star martial artist die so tragically, so seeing it first hand was an incredible shock to him.Charlie saw Porter’s surprised look and asked, “You didn’t expect it, right? How could an eight-star martial artist die so tragically? Even his meridians were broken.”“
“Mr. Wade... A-Are you asking me to freeze Chief Lammy?!”Kathleen was stunned by Charlie’s words. They were so shocking, she didn’t know how to respond to it. Charlie, however, replied with a matter-of-fact look, “Don’t you have a freezing center? Bringing his body back and freezing him is just a small matter for you, isn’t it?”Charlie made it sound like it was a very simple task. Having heard that, Kathleen had to remind him, “Mr. Wade, the human body freezing technology is just a scientific concept. Although scientists had proposed this decades ago, there are no success stories yet…”She then stole a glance at Merlin, who was lying on the ground, before continuing, “Mr. Wade, I’ll be frank. To put it bluntly, no one can return to life if you freeze the body with the current technology…”Charlie waved his hand in dismissal. “You don’t have to worry about it. Just freeze him first.” Charlie had his reason for sending Merlin to the freezing center. With Charlie’s current stren
At Kathleen’s orders, her men removed all the carpets and packed them in sealed bags for incineration. While the men were cleaning up the carpet, another wave of men rushed in with lightning equipment, building materials, cleaning supplies, and water pumps.After that, those specialized in mechanical and electric systems began to repair the damaged spotlights and fixed the lighting. The rest implemented the construction-use water barrier and styrofoam to surround the entire corridor, forming an impermeable pool of about ten centimeters.After that, they used the fire-fighter-use high-pressure water gun and powerful detergent to clean the blood in the corridor. The group washed out the blood stains in the corridor vigorously, and then pumped the dirty water into the washroom drain.Soon, the corridor lights were completely restored. The blood concentration in the pool of water was also visibly getting lighter. By then, the bloody stench in the corridor had mostly faded.Meanwhile,
Soon, Kathleen’s men brought the agitated Dorothy. Dorothy was nervous and tense. The appearance of the strange men who had taken over the entire VIP area without a sound took her by complete surprise. She did not know what they were doing, and who they were.Her staff had all disappeared without a trace. That gave her a bad feeling, too.However, her nervousness eased slightly the moment she saw Charlie. She asked him in a hurry, “Mr. Wade, what’s going on here? Are these your men?” Charlie glanced at Kathleen and said indifferently, “There are Miss Fox’s men. I requested their help.”Dorothy was puzzled. “Did something happen?” Charlie didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked tentatively, “Is there anyone else who knows about the Acker family’s presence tonight?”“No,” Dorothy replied. “Only Quinn and I know. No one else is aware.”Then, she added nervously, “What’s wrong?! Something happened, didn’t it?!” Charlie said coldly, “There was an attack on the Acker famil
Dorothy added, “You’re suspecting a mole to be helping the enemy, but I doubt the mole is from our team. Our staff might know the Acker family’s whereabouts, but that was only after their arrival. Besides, the Acker family arrived here just not long ago.”Charlie thought of the blocked signal and asked, “Did any staff come to this floor during the day? Could they have snuck in a small shielding device?”Dorothy frowned. “We only paid attention to the stage and backstage in the morning. We didn’t pay much attention to the VIP area. I can’t be sure, but you can check the surveillance video of the VIP area.”Then she added, “As I said earlier, Quinn and I didn’t tell anyone about this. Even if someone came in the day to install the shielding device, they wouldn’t know which room to install it. Besides, there are more than twenty rooms here. Did they install it in every room?”Charlie walked into several rooms near the corridor with his phone and found that the signal in these rooms wa
