The former was naturally the better choice out of the two options. After all, he would only be able to find out the identity of the person who had rescued Vera by finding out the whereabouts of the Armed Calvary Guards.As for the latter, he could only hope that there were some unseen problems within the Armed Calvary Guards themselves. Otherwise, it would basically be a waste of time for him to investigate in this direction.Therefore, Brody decided to choose the former option and searched for several days in Northern Europe. He searched all the way to Oslo City without having discovered any clues. He was a little depressed, so he decided to have a drink at a bar in Oslo City. However, just as he was feeling a little inebriated, he suddenly received a message from a virtual number. The message only contained a few words: Meeting in half an hour. Brody put his cell phone away helplessly, took out two bills, and put them under his glass before walking out of the bar. He returned t
Everyone was aghast when they heard the British Lord’s questioning tone. Mr. Chardon was the first to speak up as he said respectfully, “British Lord, I’m still investigating in Eastcliff. Even though there are no clear clues yet, I believe that there will definitely be results in Oskia.”The British Lord asked coldly, “Do you still believe that there is a high possibility that Vera has escaped to Oskia?”Mr. Chardon replied, “Yes! I believe that Vera should be in Oskia.”The British Lord asked him, “Why are you so sure?”Mr. Chardon said, “I’ve analyzed Vera’s current situation. Although choosing a vast and sparsely populated place to hide might seem like the best option, she has failed in Northern Europe, so she will definitely do the opposite and go to a place with more people after failing once. As the saying goes, those with great potential will stay hidden in the city. Moreover, Vera is also an Oskian, so it would definitely be the best choice for her to hide in Oskia.”The
The British Lord spoke up and said, “Okay! Mr. Chardon, you will definitely be credited for your great achievement after this is accomplished.”Subsequently, Mr. Zorro, who was in New York, spoke up and said, “British Lord, I’m investigating clues related to the Ackers in New York. However, the Ackers have already bought over the venue where the performance was conducted that day, and it has been completely overturned and rebuilt. I could not find any valuable clues at all even after infiltrating the scene. I estimate that if we want to find out how the Ackers escaped from danger that day and what exactly happened to the dead soldiers, we will have to start from the Ackers.”The British Lord said coldly, “The Ackers’ hidden strength should be much stronger than what we know. I even suspect that the Ackers are probably protected by experts who have mastered Reiki. Moreover, after the last failure, we have already alerted the enemy because of our rashness, so you have to be very carefu
The sky in Northern Europe was just getting brighter the next day when Brody received a text message from an unfamiliar phone number as soon as he opened his eyes. There was only one word in the text message: Naples. Brody knew that this had to be the location of the Right Military Governor. Even if it was not the Right Military Governor’s location, it should be his first stop to making his way to the Right Military Governor Office. It was a bit sad to say that even Brody, who was one of the four great earls, did not know of the specific location of the Right Military Governor Office as well as its internal personnel structure. Although the four great earls were second only to the British Lord in the Qing Eliminating Society, this was limited to their personal strength.Although the British Lord attached great importance to the four great earls and had always supported and held them in high regard in front of the other members of the Qing Eliminating Society, even giving them a
It was his first time in this city, but he had long heard of this city thanks to the fact that the football legend, Diego Maradona, had once placed for Naples Football Club. He did not know where to go or who to look for at the Naples Airport at this moment. He kept waiting for his cell phone to ring but still did not receive any message even after he walked out of the airport. A middle-aged man suddenly came to him and said respectfully, “Mr. Jothurn, you must be exhausted from the journey. Please come with me.”Brody looked at the man and asked, “May I know what’s your name and status in the Right Military Governor Office?” The man hurriedly said, “Mr. Jothurn, I’m Callum Biffle, and I’m a counselor in the Right Military Governor Office.”Brody nodded slightly and said, “Please lead the way then, Mr. Biffle.” When Brody said that, he wondered, ‘What is this disparity? There is a huge disparity between this man and myself. As one of the four great earls, I didn’t know where t
The Right Military Governor Office was one of the five Military Governor Offices in the Qing Eliminating Society. The five Military Governor Offices were divided with Oskia as the center. The Central Military Governor Office covered most of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia, including Oskia.The Rear Military Governor Office covered the whole of Russia, Mongolia, the Arctic Circle, as well as Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan in Central Asia.The Front Military Governor Office covered all the southern islands and countries in Southeast Asia including the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries. In addition, the entire Oceania and Antarctica were also within the coverage of the Front Military Governor Office.The Right Military Governor Office covered the rest of Europe aside from Russia as well as Africa, and the Left Military Governor Office covered North and South America.The five Military Governors of the Militar
If he was a great master next to the king in ancient times, Arlo would have been an important minister who dominated the country. Brody was also well aware that the fact that the British Lord was letting him come into contact with the real core members now also meant that the British Lord would gradually use him greatly in the future. Therefore, Brody stepped forward very politely and shook hands with Arlo as he said with a smile, “We are all loyal to the British Lord, so you don’t have to be so courteous with me!”Arlo said with a smile, “As expected from an important earl who has served the British Lord for a long time. Mr. Jothurn really has an outstanding demeanor!” After saying that, Arlo pointed at the dining table and said with a smile, “I’ve prepared a small banquet to welcome you, Mr. Jothurn. Please have a seat at the table.”Brody clasped one of his hands over the other and said politely, “Let’s go together!”The two of them sat down next to each other politely at the
“Therefore, the logic of the whole matter is a bit weird. The only ones who knew that they were going to capture Vera were the British Lord and myself. I’m loyal to the British Lord, so it’s impossible for me to leak anything to the public. Therefore, I feel that there’s a greater possibility that the other party had planted a spy amongst us or that the other party had grasped our movements in some other ways that we are not aware of.”After saying this, Arlo added, “Before you arrived in Naples, the British Lord told me that he hopes that you will be able to find out at which point the other party caught us in a loophole. Could it be that the other party has already lurked into the dead soldiers’ base or has been secretly monitoring the dead soldiers’ base without us knowing about it?”Brody was silent for a moment, and his thoughts were racing. Unfortunately, he was not Merlin. He definitely would have been able to comb through all the possible flaws in the entire operation if he
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
