Charlie’s words made the man in front of him feel extremely fearful.He could not help but think of the bloodbath a few hours ago when Charlie had turned him and his subordinates into cripples with just his own strength. He had never heard of this kind of devastating and terrifying strength before.What was even more terrifying was that he had never seen Charlie make a single move the entire time.Charlie had not even had any physical contact with them at all!This was the point that made him feel the most despair.With his knowledge and understanding of martial arts experts, even an expert of the dark realm would not be able to achieve such a bizarre long-range strike!A martial arts expert’s internal and essential qi could only be achieved through the so-called Kung Fu techniques, but even so, the distance would be extremely limited, and the power would be greatly reduced.In his opinion, someone like Charlie who could have such lethal killing power without making any contac
This was because Charlie had found that this force kept trying to attack outward.With the continuous impact of this force, the force that was binding it was also gradually weakening, but it was only weakening little by little each time.It seemed that this force would indeed break through this bondage after a few days, and at that time, it was estimated that his body would likely be smashed to pieces by this force. At this time, Charlie finally understood why the man was acting as if he had accepted his fate even though he was begging Charlie to give him an easy death.It seemed as though this man would surely die in a few days even if Charlie did not give him an easy death.Charlie smiled slightly at this time and said, “Don’t worry. You won’t die with me around.”Having said that, Charlie used his Reiki to directly seal the force that was pounding outward in the man’s body. In terms of the strength of that power, after Charlie’s Reiki had sealed it, that power would not be
The man only realized that he was a prisoner now after he had shouted, and he suddenly shriveled up again and stopped speaking.However, the look in his eyes as he looked at Charlie was filled with awe.Charlie asked coldly, “Who is your so-called British Lord?”The man looked up at Charlie and replied with a trance-like look in his eyes, “I don’t know...”“You don’t know?!” Charlie said coldly, “You claim that you are ready to die for the British Lord at any time, but now you’re telling me that you don’t know who the British Lord is? Do you think that I’m a three-year-old child?!”The man said fearfully, “I really don’t know... Ever since I can remember, I only know that I have to dedicate and give everything that I have to the British Lord. However, I really do not know who the British Lord is, and I have never met him before either...”Charlie frowned and asked, “So, who was the one who told you that you have to dedicate everything to the British Lord?!”The man hurriedly sai
Porter, who was aside, could not help but exclaim, “Mr. Wade, in that case, it would be unnecessary to look into the faces, fingerprints, and DNA of this group of people today, because it would be impossible to find anything...”The man also smiled bitterly and said, “There is really no need to investigate. Dead soldiers are slaves raised by the organization. There are always internal marriages, and we will never be able to escape. Therefore, we are not recorded in any national databases in this world. Forget about fingerprints and faces, but even our DNA has been locked up, and after ten generations of reproduction, our DNA is basically no longer related to any ethnic group with anyone in the outside world. To put it bluntly, we are slaves that no one knows of in this world. No one knows when we live, and no one knows when we die...”Charlie felt an indescribable tension in his heart for the first time.This tension was not derived from fear itself, but it was a kind of fear of unk
“The guide...”Charlie recited softly under his breath and asked, “Have you met with the guide before?”“No.” The man explained, “I do not know exactly who the guide is. When we arrived in New York this time, we woke up in a closed garage where the organization had left some equipment that we needed for the mission as well as some information. The information contained the list of targets, the target’s kinship and social relations, as well as the situation of the martial arts experts around them. Since they knew that there would be several high-ranking martial arts experts, they specially prepared enhanced weapons for us. They also reminded us what we needed to pay attention to and what tactics we should adopt, and they also gave us some time to familiarize ourselves with the information before we would wait for the departure notice. After arriving at the scene, the guide would tell us the appropriate time to attack through the transit.”Charlie asked, “What do you mean by transit?”
Charlie was even more shocked. He pondered for a moment before he asked again, “You said that you were injected with drugs before you came, and you were in New York when you woke up. Do you know how long you were unconscious?” “I don’t know.” The man shook his head and said, “In the dead soldiers’ camp, no one is allowed to know the date and time. We cannot see the sunrise or sunset, but instead, it’s just lights on or lights off. Moreover, I have secretly calculated that our daily routine in the dead soldiers’ camp does not seem to follow twenty-four hours a day. They seem deliberately make a slight deviation in time every day. Today would be longer than yesterday, and yesterday would be longer compared to the day before yesterday. Over time, even if we knew the exact time when we set out on a mission, the records will be biased after a period of time.”Charlie asked him, “How did you calculate the deviation of time?”The man said, “I made a very fine hole at the bottom of a bowl
For Charlie, Reiki was his biggest trump card at the moment.This mysterious organization was indeed powerful, and it might even be too powerful.However, they were controlling these dead soldiers, or in other words, the power that they used to enhance the strength of these dead soldiers was still no match in the face of Reiki.It was precisely because of this that Charlie had the confidence to find out more about this mysterious organization one day in the future. 547 could also feel that Charlie’s strength far exceeded his own perception. Charlie could effortlessly seal the power that even the 20th-generation dead soldiers could not resist. This showed that Charlie was not just making empty talk when he said that he would ensure that this organization was extinguished completely. So, he said gratefully, “Mr. Wade, I believe that all the dead soldiers would definitely be willing to serve you if you can eradicate the organization!”Charlie waved his hand and said, “It’s still t
Charlie looked at the time. It was just after three o’clock in the morning. So, he waved his hand and said, “No need. I’ll go on my own.”Porter said, “I’ll see you out, then!”When Charlie walked out of the villa, the whole Long Island was silent.After all, it was already past three in the morning, and the rich people who lived here had generally ended their nightlife and were entering a dreamland filled with money and desire.Charlie had mixed feelings as he walked on the street alone.He could not imagine how big this mysterious organization would be. He had interrogated 547 for more than an hour and still did not even know what the name of this mysterious organization was.At this time, the voices and smiles of his parents when they were alive came to his mind. In his memory, his father and mother would never frown over anything. Even when they had left Eastcliff and come to Aurous Hill to settle down in an old mansion, they had always had smiles on their faces. They had cle
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
Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a
Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc
The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
