Porter said, “They are all basically similar to your mother-in-law and had come to visit their relatives in the United States. Four of them have already booked a flight ticket back to Oskia and will be returning to Oskia one after the other over the next few months. However, there is an old lady who immigrated earlier, and Martha has the most call records with her among these six people.”“An old lady?” Charlie asked curiously, “Is the old lady also a target to be a mule to transport their contraband?”Porter said, “I’m not sure about this.”Charlie said, “It would be easy for you to determine this. Investigate this old lady’s flight records in the airline companies over the recent years to see if she returns to Oskia often and when was the last time she returned to Oskia.”“Okay!” Porter said immediately, “Please wait a moment, I’ll get the hacker to retrieve the information using the loopholes in the civil aviation system.”Having said that, Porter then gave instructions to the
Due to the limited time and overabundant intelligence clues to be verified, when Porter had inquired about these missing persons, they had only checked and verified the missing statuses of these people in the United States. However, they had not gone further to check the specific details of their disappearance nor the location of their disappearance. However, Charlie was keenly aware of the strange situation and felt that it was not normal for Brienne’s son to head to Mexico at this time.Therefore, he subconsciously felt that the previous people who had gone missing and whose whereabouts were unknown were most likely related to Mexico. Porter’s efficiency was also very fast. In a short period of time, he read these missing people’s files in detail and then said to Charlie in amazement, “Mr. Wade, all these people disappeared in Mexico.”Charlie’s eyes brightened up, and he quickly asked, “Look up where they disappeared in Mexico and who was the last person they came into conta
Almost all of them were armed to the teeth, so the government and police simply could not do anything to them. Not only that, but the crime syndicates in Mexico had also kidnapped and assassinated countless politicians in the country, and they had long infiltrated the military and political system so that the criminal syndicates were at the top of the food chain in Mexico.The criminal syndicate did not take their country’s army or police nor even the police in the United States and Canada as well as the FBI seriously at all.This was because no one could control the criminal syndicates in Mexico unless it was a larger criminal syndicate. Therefore, it was difficult for the American police to investigate the case in depth when these Americans disappeared in Mexico. So, they would ultimately become unresolved cases. When Porter reported this information to Charlie, Charlie could not help but mutter to himself, “It’s strange. I can understand if they tricked people into going to
When Porter heard Charlie’s instruction, he replied without any hesitation, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I will dispatch the strongest elite soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies to Mexico immediately. When the time comes, they will rush forward as long as you give the order!” “Okay!” Charlie’s tone was full of majesty, and he said loudly, “Tell the soldiers that I will give them credit when this matter is completed! At that time, we will hold a celebration feast in Mexico, and I will make sure all of their strength moves further forward!” Charlie had long had the intention to continue improving Ten Thousand Armies’ overall strength. Now that he had raised a large amount of funds for Ten Thousand Armies, the next thing he would have to do was to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies. Right now, the best solution would be for him to raise their cultivation level.For most of the soldiers, there was no need for a whole Healing Pill as even a third or a
Meanwhile, in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. After Elaine had enjoyed the full body massage by seven to eight people, she felt so comfortable, and she felt as if she was in a trance.It was only the domineering Chloe from before who was feeling miserable.She began massaging the feet of everyone in the cell, one after the other, according to Elaine’s request. By the time the prison lights were turned off, she had only massaged four to five people.When Elaine saw that it was time to go to bed, she said to Chloe coldly, “You’d better continue massaging everyone’s feet until tomorrow morning. See if I’ll beat you to death if you dare to be lazy!”Chloe cried and nodded as she choked up and said, “I understand... I won’t be lazy...”Elaine snorted and then pointed at her wet bed as she said coldly, “This is your masterpiece, so you will sleep on this bed from now on, and I will sleep on your bed.” Chloe did not dare to say anything else and quickly said, “Okay, Miss Elain
That night, Chloe could only go back and forth between the bathroom and each single bed. She had to give everyone in the cell a foot massage for at least half an hour according to Elaine’s requirement.Not to mention going without sleep tonight, but Chloe might not even have any spare time during the day tomorrow.As for her former subordinates, they could only be forced to toss and turn on the wet bed. They did not dare to lie in one position for too long as their bodies simply could not be in contact with the wet bed for too long because their bodies would become cold and painful.Therefore, the only thing they could do was to keep rolling on their beds as if they were sausages placed on the grill that were constantly being rotated and roasted. Surprisingly, Elaine, who had finally become the boss did not sleep either.Early the next morning, Elaine, who had not slept all night, looked more energetic compared to anyone else in the cell.When she got up from bed, Chloe was st
When Charlie had help, he would also have to take care of the other party, which was far less handy compared to him being alone.What’s more, Charlie planned to infiltrate the enemy’s base on this trip to Mexico by himself. He was going to pretend to be weak and fragile despite actually being powerful, and with Kathleen around, he was bound to have to practice extreme caution.Kathleen had initially not known what exactly Charlie planned to do in Mexico. When she heard that Charlie was going to take the place of the potential victim and sneak into the opponent’s death trap, she knew that she would not bring any positive effect aside from holding Charlie back if she followed him.So, she could only give up resentfully. When the car stopped at the entrance of the airport, Charlie said to Kathleen, “You have a special status, so don’t get out of the car.”Kathleen hurriedly said, “Pay attention to your safety then, Mr. Wade!” Charlie nodded gently, and after saying goodbye to he
Hugo’s expression was obviously a little unnatural when work was mentioned.To be exact, he was proud of his status as a student who had been sponsored by the government, but he suddenly had low self-esteem when he mentioned that he was going to Mexico to work.Charlie was keenly aware of his changes. Combined with the fact that he had been changing jobs continuously for many years and that his income was getting lower and lower before he was unemployed for more than a year, Charlie could guess that he was only going to Mexico this time because he was helpless and had no other choice.So, he sighed softly and said, “I think that you were also helpless when you decided to go to Mexico to work, right? In truth, I’m just like you. I wouldn’t want to go to Mexico unless it was my last resort.”Hugo asked him curiously, “What are you going to do in Mexico?”Charlie said casually, “I don’t know what I can do after I go there, but my visa in the United States is about to expire. I origin
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
