As Charlie thought of this, he subconsciously reached his hand into the quilt on the other side of the bed and could clearly feel that that was still a faint residual warmth in the quilt on the side where no one was sleeping. At this moment, Charlie suddenly realized that something was not quite right. He lifted the quilt subconsciously, looked down at his underwear, and was only slightly relieved when he found that his underwear was still intact and in good condition.Charlie had already realized that Helena must have come here and slept beside him while he was asleep. The scent on his body as well as the residual temperature on the other side of the bed all pointed to her as evidence. Charlie did not understand why Helena would sneak into his bed when he was asleep, but after some consideration, he decided to pretend not to know anything about it. This was the best solution, in Charlie’s opinion. On one hand, it would alleviate the embarrassment between the two, and on the o
Helena unconsciously showed a bit of envy and despondency in her expression when she heard Charlie mention that he wanted to go back to accompany his wife.She could not help but feel a little ashamed when she thought of what she had just done.However, she also felt thankful from the bottom of her heart that she had not done anything too outrageous earlier. Otherwise, she would have likely botched up and cut off all possibilities with Charlie completely.As Helena thought of this, she nodded very simply even though she was reluctant to let Charlie leave, and she said, “Mr. Wade, we should go downstairs and have lunch first. I’ll arrange for the helicopter to get ready so that we can return to Oslo City after lunch.”“Okay.” Charlie nodded slightly and walked out of the room with Helena.As Charlie was standing beside Helena, he could smell the fragrance from her body again, which was the same as the fragrance he had smelled when he woke up.However, Charlie still decided to play
This humanitarian organization was also rather well-known in Sweden as well as globally. They were apparently a non-profit humanitarian charity organization on the surface, but in truth, its real background was that it was part of this mysterious organization that Charlie was investigating with its roots planted in Sweden and even the whole of central Northern Europe.This humanitarian organization usually organized charitable activities actively, calling on people to pay attention to third-world countries, environmental protection, and also global warming, but once this organization had a need, it could respond quickly and immediately in central and Northern Europe, covering the four countries of Northern Europe, Latvia, and Lithuania, which were all across the sea from Sweden. Unlike other espionage and non-governmental organizations which were extremely low-key, this humanitarian organization had an unusually high-profile style of conducting their work. Not only did it often use
Meanwhile, in the parking lot outside the cargo area of Gothenburg International Airport. The head of the humanitarian organization was waiting anxiously as he sat on the passenger side of a truck.A total of three truckloads of supplies were to be transported to Nigeria this time.According to the original schedule, the Armed Calvary Guards should have delivered the people to the airport in a special transport vehicle by now. They would have then brought them into the airport together before urging customs to release the target people on the plane quickly. In order to ensure that the people could be sent through customs smoothly this time, the person in charge of the humanitarian organization had specially called the once world-renowned environmental protection young girl, who was their trump card, as the person in charge prepared to take her along with him to ensure the mission could be completed successfully. However, they had not received any information about the Armed Cal
The young girl interrupted him directly and said coldly, “What I’m passionate about is environmental protection, not charity. This kind of activity itself is not the kind of activity I like. I can still have more patience if you ask me to protest against Asians using chopsticks, against Europeans flying planes, or against Americans driving cars.”With that said, the young girl then said arrogantly, “What’s more, who else will pay attention to things such as helping Nigeria aside from Nigerians? I might as well go to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to organize protests instead. My father said the media all over the world will pay attention to the news of the United Nations and developed countries, whereas news of third world countries such as Nigeria will never make the headlines in the Western world.”The driver was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he also felt extremely annoyed.However, since this matter was of great importance, he could only say patiently, “The ch
After putting on the real-time transmission camera, the man in the driver seat of the Volvo pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.After confirming that no people or vehicles were passing by, he used a lock-picking tool to skillfully pry the door open.In truth, in addition to the ordinary door locks, there were hidden latches that were concealed above and below the frame and a whole control system set that had been upgraded for the door lock in the house that Vera lived in. Under normal circumstances, Vera would use her cell phone to lock the hidden latch whether she was sleeping or going out. Even the best locksmith could not break this kind of door lock that could only be unlocked through the internet. However, when Vera and her personal servant had evacuated this time, they had intentionally left the hidden latch unlocked to make it easy for this person to slip into the room.At the same time, in a certain corner of the world, the British Lord of this mysterious or
Although the smiley face was simple, it was very vivid, and there was even a bit of contempt that could be seen in the smile. Just as he was immersed in the impeccability of this sentence, the deep and low voice that had been altered suddenly sounded over the earphone. He seemed to be very angry as he roared, “Damn it, Vera Lavor! Damn it! Damn it!!!”After that, he roared furiously, “Blow it up for me!”The man was a little surprised and subconsciously asked, “Blow it up? Blow what up?”Just after he had finished speaking, the portable camera hanging on the front of his left chest suddenly exploded violently!The impact of the high explosives shattered the entire desk into pieces with a bang! The calligraphy written on the rice paper was also instantly burned to ashes by the high temperature generated by the explosion.As for the man who had come to investigate, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart before he could even figure out what was going on. He then flew backward a
Vera’s servant could not help but feel a little more admiration for her when he saw that she was so calm. Vera then asked him, “By the way, how long is the journey to Vladivostok?” Her servant replied, “Miss, we are taking the Arctic Ocean route, so it will take about twenty-five days based on the speed of this ship.”“It’s too slow.” Vera said lightly, “I’m going to disembark in Murmansk and take a plane to Eastcliff.” Having said that, she asked her servant, “Can I get to Murmansk in four days?”Her servant hurriedly said, “Yes, we should be able to get there by then, but Miss, are you in such a hurry to go to Oskia?”“Yes!” Vera nodded with certainty and said seriously, “I can’t wait to find Charlie Wade as soon as possible. This person must have a lot of fun and interesting secrets.”After saying that, Vera pulled the progress bar and went back to the moment when Charlie had appeared in her study room. She looked at Charlie in the picture and muttered curiously, “Tell me,
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
