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
Once he was given such an opportunity, he would certainly be confident enough to bring the Section Ambassador under his control.However, Charlie also had two plans in mind.If everything went smoothly, he would naturally be able to take down the entire base without any bloodshed. However, if he could not control the Section Ambassador, he could simply finish him off silently and then distribute the antidote to all the dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards. He would not have to worry about anything else, and he could let the dead soldiers and members of the Armed Calvary Guards play freely. The organization would certainly have a lot to worry about when thousands of people suddenly escaped from its control.Moreover, as Charlie was acting alone for both plans, he was absolutely certain that he would not leave any clues behind. Therefore, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would not let that mysterious organization follow any clues to find him.After
“Acquire a company?”Hugo was taken aback by Charlie’s words and spoke up, “Mr. Wade, it would cost at least one billion US dollars if you want to acquire a communication company with a sufficient foundation. Wouldn’t the investment be too high? I’m afraid that it’d be difficult to achieve profitability...”Charlie shook his head and said, “Profit is not the most important thing. How we can solve our immediate needs is the most important thing.”With that said, Charlie said again, “Our biggest pain at present is that we are short of time. Not to mention a year or a month, but even if it is a day or an hour, we have to try our best to fight for it. Time is far more important than money.”Charlie paused for a moment and continued, “If you want to develop at a speed beyond ordinary people, it’s necessary to change the mode of thinking that only solves the immediate needs. It is basically difficult to achieve great things if you’re stuck on how to solve the problem of recruiting people
Hugo hurriedly said, “It’s an old communication company in the United States.”Charlie asked again, “What is the current market value of the company?”Hugo thought for a moment and said, “The company was very prosperous a few years ago, and its market value exceeded ten billion dollars when it was at its peak. However, as the bubble continued to burst and its performance continued to decline, the market value should only be more than a billion US dollars when I was fired.”Charlie nodded and asked him, “How is the foundation of this company?”Hugo said, “The technical foundation of its hardware and software technology is very good, but the reason why it went downhill over the years was mainly because the market direction has not been found correctly. The person in charge made the wrong judgment in the direction of the development of communications in the market and gradually killed his own to-C side of the business. He turned to rely on his old capital to provide hardware equipment
A few hours later, Charlie and Hugo returned to the United States together. The plane landed in Providence first, and after Charlie had gotten off the plane, it took off again immediately, carrying Hugo, Albert, and Isaac to Silicon Valley.The reason why Albert and Isaac were accompanying Hugo was mainly to protect Hugo’s personal safety. After all, the purpose of his visit was to discuss a billion-dollar business deal. Moreover, it was not known whether Martha had any other unknown accomplices in the United States. Charlie felt relatively relieved with Albert and Isaac accompanying Hugo. Charlie got off the plane alone and then drove back to the hotel where he was staying with Claire.Over the next few days, he asked Kathleen to help deliver a batch of medicinal materials to him. He then refined a new batch of Healing Pills while Claire was attending classes during the day.After that, he mixed one Cultivating Pill and two Rejuvenating Pills into it and added in a large number
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
At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I
As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.
Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole
Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could
The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
