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
At the same time, the Acker family that had survived the tragedy were sitting on the sofa in silence. The air in the room was tense. The younger generation and grandchildren were still recovering from the shock. The adults were also in a depressed mood.While Kathleen’s men were cleaning the crime scene outside the room, Charlie’s three uncles were busy analyzing the events with Keith. They even got into a heated argument during the discussion.They wanted to know what went wrong, so much that it almost cost the Acker family’s life.In the beginning, Kaeden suspected Charlie’s uncle-in-law, Lulu’s husband, to be the most suspicious person. Everyone was here tonight, but he was absent.This whole incident pertained to the whole family’s safety. While Kaeden was discussing his suspicions, he did not refrain from speaking in Lulu’s presence.Jaxson and his second brother Kaeden shared a similar personality. They frequently collaborated in work. Therefore, Jaxson firmly expressed his
Jarvis paid close attention to everyone in the room as he announced, “To ensure everyone’s safety, I would like to request everyone to hand me your personal belongings. We are going to perform a safety check for safety reasons.”Christian asked, “What do we need to turn in?”“Everything.” Jarvis stopped beating around the bush and cut to the case. He added with a serious look, “Please turn in all your personal belongings. For the men, please stand to the left. For the ladies, please stand to the right. Open your hands and put them on your chest. We will arrange for someone of the same gender to search you.”Keith frowned upon hearing that. “Sir, are you suspecting that this is an insider job? That the mole is among us?”Jarvis put his hand together and replied sternly, “Sir, I’m acting under orders. Everyone, please cooperate. Please forgive me if I have offended you.”Kaeden was annoyed. Disgruntled, he grumbled, “Sir, you’re suspecting us for no reason and demanded a search out
The sudden death of Adrienne caught everyone off guard. Her sixteen-year-old daughter nearly collapsed on the spot from sheer shock. She hugged her mother’s body and shook the latter desperately, crying, “Mom…? What’s wrong…? Don’t scare me…!” Jaxson, too, was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to step forward to investigate, but his second brother Kaeden stopped him. Jaxson looked back at Kaeden with a shocked look. Instantly, he growled, “Kaeden, why are you stopping me? Something’s happened to Adrienne!”Kaeden roared with a dark face, “Look at how she died! Do you remember how that assailant’s leader committed suicide by taking poison?!”“Suicide...” Jaxson was horrified. He blurted out in a tone of shock, “Y-You… Are you saying that Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison?”Kaeden pointed to the corpse and demanded coldly, “Is there any other possibilities other than suicide?!”Jarvis immediately rushed forward and picked up Charlie’s third aunt. He said to everyone,
