“No.” Lucian shook his head and said, “The organization does not use the internet. Instead, it uses its own satellite communication network, and it’s not ordinary civilian communication. It is a military communication satellite that was bought from senior Soviet officials through special channels when the Soviet Union collapsed.”“Military communication satellite?” Charlie asked in shock, “Can this be bought?”Lucian explained, “Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to buy military communication satellites no matter how rich an individual or company is. However, it was a special period, and the entire Soviet defense system was in chaos. The disintegration of the distribution between these countries was also muddled, and there were a lot of bad debts. At the time, a large part of Ukraine’s heavy weapons were sold. Even the Tu-160 bomber and nuclear bombs were sold, let alone the satellites in the sky. Back then, no one would notice that a few satellites were missing, and as
Charlie’s pupils constricted when he thought of this. He immediately asked Lucian, “What happened twenty years ago that would make your British Lord execute thousands of people directly?!”Lucian shook his head blankly. “I don’t know the specific reason... I only know that the British Lord was furious at their failure at the time, so he killed them...”Charlie raised his brows and asked coldly, “Do you know where they met their defeat, then?”Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”Charlie thought of what Lucian had mentioned about the five military governor offices earlier and how the one responsible for Asian affairs within the Qing Eliminating Society was the Central Military Governor Office. So, he asked him, “Which military governor’s office was the one that experienced defeat? Was it the Central Military Governor Office?”Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but I’m certain that it’s not the Right Military Governor Office.”With that said, Lucian ad
Charlie was slightly startled and asked with a frown, “What other industries are there in this closed loop of yours besides the copper refinery in Turkey and the copper mine in Cyprus?”“Many.” Lucian replied, “There are natural gas companies, large farms, and shipyards in Turkey. In addition, there are also some garment and stone processing factories. Basically, all walks of life are involved, and the overall market value is about eighty billion US dollars or so.”In Turkey, an organization with a total market value of eighty billion US dollars could already be called a super business empire, and this was only the industry under the responsibility of a deputy governor under one of the five military governor offices under the Qing Eliminating Society. If any deputy governor was assigned to the economically developed Western Europe, the closed loop he was in charge of may have a market value of more than hundreds of billions of US dollars. This way, the asset strength of a Right M
As he said that, Lucian then added, “However, they receive better treatment compared to that of the Armed Calvary Guards. Firstly, they don’t need to practice martial arts hard, and secondly, they do not need to take the antidote weekly but they only need to take it once every six months. If they study hard and have real talents, they will be able to live in society as white-collar elites or even well-known entrepreneurs after taking over the company in the future, so their living conditions are definitely much better compared to that of the Armed Calvary Guards.”When Charlie heard this, he could not help but come to a realization.From this point of view, his aunt-in-law as well as her family members should not be regarded as high-end members of the Qing Eliminating Society. They were probably descendants of the Armed Calvary Guards, but they had the opportunity to live a normal life in real society.As Charlie thought of this, he asked Lucian, “During your years in the Qing Elimi
At this time, Charlie could not help but think of his own third aunt-in-law whom he did not know.In Charlie’s mind, he could not help but rely on the clues provided by Lucian and his own imagination to outline the woman’s tragic life.During her teenage years as well as her youth, it was likely that she had studied hard in order to change her whole family’s fate.Her father may have experienced the tragedy of being a dead soldier firsthand, so he must have instilled the belief to study hard to save the whole family in her since she was very young.She must have lived up to expectations and was admitted to a top university.At this time, the Qing Eliminating Society had given her the difficult and significant task of approaching his uncle, Jaxson, because of her excellent academic performance and outstanding external conditions. Merlin had once told Charlie about the process of how his aunt-in-law had gotten acquainted with his uncle.Back then, his uncle was in the second year
Charlie frowned and asked, “Does your assistant usually meet your needs in that area?”Lucian replied, “He wanted to join the Hubbert Battalion, but to join the Hubbert Battalion, he needed a recommendation from someone who had been trained in the Hubbert Battalion. That’s why I used that as a condition to ask him to satisfy my...”Charlie reached out a hand to interrupt him. “Okay, you don’t need to say anything else.”Lucian shut his mouth immediately.Charlie then asked again, “Is there any way for you to let me sneak into the copper mine with you?”Lucian said without hesitation, “That would be simple. You’d just need to wrap yourself up in a black robe with me.”“A black robe?”“Yes.” Lucian stood up, took off two black robes from the hanger behind the door, and said to Charlie, “Because I am a special envoy, only my superiors and my assistant can see my true face. I’m always wrapped in a robe so that no one can see any of my features.”Charlie nodded and asked again, “Has
The Reiki in the antidote was minimal, which allowed Charlie to conclude that the person who had refined the pill must be proficient in Reiki, but Charlie was unable to guess the other party’s cultivation through the pill.After all, the potency of this antidote was too low. Charlie felt that its greatest use was not to suppress the poison in the body of the person taking the antidote, but it seemed to be just to send a signal for the poison in the body not to rush the attack first for the time being. As Charlie looked at these antidotes, he could not help but speculate that if the Qing Eliminating Society had ten bases for dead soldiers in the whole world, there would be at least tens of thousands of dead soldiers, their families, and also members of the Armed Calvary Guards. In addition, there were ‘scholars’, ‘guides’, ‘special envoys’, ‘governors’, ‘Hubbert Battalion’, ‘Far East International Express’, and various other supporting personnel. It was roughly estimated that the
Just then, the ship emitted an ear-splitting whistle, and the speed of the ship also slowed down a lot at the same time, which made Charlie realize that the ship was about to dock.So, he threw the antidotes brought by Lucian back into the closet immediately, wrapped one of the black robes around himself, and said to Lucian, “I will disguise myself as your assistant and go to the copper mine with you. You will hand the antidotes over this time, the same way you usually do.”Lucian nodded without hesitation, “Understood!”After that, he also took a black robe, put it on skillfully, and covered his head completely with the huge hood.Charlie followed suit and covered his head with the hood of the black robe.He found that the hood of the black robe was very wide and the fabric was light. Even if the hood covered the face completely, it would not hinder one’s sight.Subsequently, Charlie and Lucian came to the door. Charlie looked at the martial artist who was standing still like a
