Charlie nodded. “Go ahead and ask, then.”“Okay.” Merlin picked up his notepad immediately. Merlin had already listed out the questions he wanted to know during the course of Charlie’s conversation with the few people just now. The first few questions were actually the questions that Charlie had already asked when he was in Bergen in Northern Europe. These questions were in relation to their identity, intelligence, the location of their quarters, and also some specific information about their living quarters. These seven people naturally told him everything they knew in one go.Merlin listened carefully, and after they had finished explaining the basic information, he asked, “What is the organizational structure of the Armed Calvary Guards in Cyprus?”The leader explained, “There are two hundred and seventy-one members of the Armed Calvary Guards that are divided into three banners, namely, left, center, and right, with ninety people in each banner. Each banner is divided into
The man thought for a moment and said, “We only received the temporary mission a few hours before departure. The Section Ambassador gave the commander the picture of eight men from Northern Europe, and the commander then selected the seven of us based on the physical characteristics of the eight men in the photos. After putting on make-up at the copper mine, he led the team and took the plane to Bergen.”Merlin suddenly felt that this matter was a little tricky.He said to Charlie, “Young Master Wade, the structure of this organization is strict, and the isolation of information between each layer is very good. Even the inside information that the Armed Calvary Guards know is limited to their base as well as some business that is hidden from the public, but they basically do not know anything else. So, if you want deeper information, you’ll have to find the Section Ambassador.”Charlie nodded and said again, “The Section Ambassador may not know much valuable information either.”Me
Charlie’s words left the seven members of the Armed Calvary Guards as well as 547, who was sitting on the other side, dumbfounded!They did not know why Charlie would suddenly ask such a question, but the expressions of these eight people were suddenly somewhat excited at this time.547 was the first to speak. He clenched his fists and said sternly, “Mr. Wade, if it’s as you’ve said, the dead soldiers would definitely organize themselves to break free! We want to die under the sunlight even if we die!”The leader of the Armed Calvary Guards also subconsciously said, “That’s right, Mr. Wade. If this happens, the Armed Calvary Guards would definitely seize the opportunity to fight to the death!”547 sighed and said, “For all the dead soldiers, the shackles that the organization has on us are mainly the poison in our bodies and our family members. Once the issue of the poison is solved, the dead soldiers would be able to use their own strength to defend the safety of their relatives,
“After we finish taking the antidote under the supervision of the personal guards of the Section Ambassador, we also have to work with them to distribute the antidote to the dead soldiers and their families. The overall process is basically the same. The dead soldiers and their relatives must also finish taking the antidote under our supervision so that the whole process of taking the antidote at one time is considered complete.”Merlin, who was aside, could not help but ask, “I have a question for you. Since you can only live for seven days without the antidote, why do they still have to supervise you to take the antidote? Would there be anyone who would deliberately refuse to take the antidote given to them?”The man smiled wryly and said, “Both we and the dead soldiers have always thought about resisting. Although we obviously know that we have no ability to fight against the entire organization, we still have some fluke mentality. Therefore, there has been an incident where many
Using reiki to brainwash a person was Charlie’s tried and tested method.If he could brainwash the Section Ambassador of Cyprus and make him his own puppet, he would be able to seize the opportunity to detoxify the bodies of all the dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards. He would then be able to get these dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards to join his command while asking them to remain in the base in Cyprus with the Section Ambassador, who was already his puppet, to continue acting as if everything was normal in front of the organization.This way, not only would one of their bases be disintegrated, but they could even place spies under their noses. Once the organization assigned a mission to Cyprus, they would know about it immediately.As Charlie thought about this, he asked them, “If these dead soldiers and members of the Armed Calvary Guards are really so eager to break the shackles that the organization has over them, I swear that I w
When Porter heard that Charlie wanted to act on his own, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, there are still many uncertainties regarding the other party’s situation. They are numerous and heavily guarded. Why don’t I select a few elite soldiers to go along with you and fight by your side?”Charlie waved his hand and said seriously, “This kind of thing only has the greatest success rate when one person acts alone. Even if the mission fails, one person can easily retreat unscathed. If there are more people, the chances of being exposed will also increase greatly. I not only want to ensure that this matter is as successful as possible, but I also want to ensure that I can leave as few clues as possible behind if this matter is unsuccessful.”Merlin also agreed and said, “I support Young Master Wade’s point of view. Based on my experience as a police officer for so many years, most of the major cases that have not been solved in the true sense are usually cases involving a single suspect. As
Merlin, who was aside, thought of something at this moment and spoke up, “By the way, I have a question. You just said that you would need to take the antidote after five days, but the antidote will only be sent to your base in four days. Wouldn’t the manager of the organization worry that everyone might be killed if something goes wrong during the transportation and the antidote is not delivered in time?”The leader of the Armed Calvary Guard shook his head and said, “This is just the daily transportation process. Under normal circumstances, the antidote will be delivered one day in advance. As long as there are no accidents, it will not affect the time for us to take the antidote. It does not matter if there is an accident as the Section Ambassador has reserves to last two months. However, these reserves will only be activated in case of an emergency.”With that said, he continued, “A few years ago, for some unknown reason, the antidote did not come for three consecutive weeks. Tho
Charlie’s initial attitude toward this mysterious organization was to try to maintain restraint as much as possible and only do precise sniping on the global dispatch of its six planes. However, after learning about the other party’s residence in Cyprus, Charlie suddenly realized that the management model of the dead soldiers’ residence seemed impenetrable, but there was actually a breakthrough point for him.As long as he could secretly control the Section Ambassador in Cyprus and then detoxify the regular onset of the poison in the bodies of all the dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards in Cyprus, he would be able to destroy the mysterious organization directly without bloodshed or alerting this mysterious organization.Moreover, the whole thing was very feasible. First of all, it was not difficult for him to make an antidote. If he wanted to remove the severe poison in these people’s bodies, he only needed to use a small amount of Reiki to achieve that. It
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
