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
Meanwhile, Porter had arranged for the helicopters to hoist the three close-defense missiles to their intended locations in the copper mine in Cyprus. Although the explosive bolts that Hugo wanted were rare, they could be bought on the black market and were not large in size, so they could be flown over directly without wasting too much time. After the three close-defense missiles were fixed with the explosive bolts, all of them remained motionless no matter how the turret composed of six barrels was moved. There were no issues with their stability at all. Furthermore, all the explosive bolts had been connected to the detonator, so when it was necessary, they only needed to press the switch, and the explosive bolts would explode immediately, achieving instant physical separation.After the close-defense missiles were in place, Hugo and the weapons experts worked together to link the target aiming and locking logic of the close-defense missiles with infrared radar and thermal ima
As he spoke, he chuckled and added, “I gave this system a secondary name, and it’s called the Kiss of Death.”Porter’s master, Pilos, who was listening at the side, suddenly felt chills on his back. He felt that he would not be able to survive even a single shot from such a powerful force, and even God would not be able to survive hundreds or thousands of shots here. Porter nodded with satisfaction and asked him again, “What if multiple targets appear at the same time?”The weapons expert said, “If multiple targets appear at the same time, the system will issue an early warning as soon as possible. If you choose to fire, the system will lock on the target one by one in the order of these three close-defense missiles collaboration.”The weapons expert explained further, “As it fires very fast, it can basically deal with a target in less than a second, so even if a dozen people come in at once, as long as you press the switch, the close-defense missiles will kill them one by one on
Brody and the Right Military Governor, Arlo, quickly became familiar with each other after the banquet. The two of them had their own thoughts. Brody felt that Arlo was a truly powerful confidant of the British Lord, so he naturally felt that Arlo was worthy of his friendship. On the other hand, Arlo felt that he would not be able to avoid dealing with the four great earls in the future as the British Lord seemed to have adopted the attitude of letting the four great earls have contact with the five Military Governor Offices now. What’s more, the four great earls’ strength was much higher than his own, so he felt that it would naturally be a good thing for him to build a close friendship with them.Therefore, the two of them seemed to have an attitude where they felt as if they had known each other all along. If Brody did not have to go to Cyprus at night, they might have even become sworn brothers. After lunch, Brody accepted Arlo’s kind invitation to go on a tour around Naples w
A business jet soon took off from Naples Airport and traveled to Cyprus Airport. Brody was very relaxed on the plane. In his opinion, this was no different from an ordinary person going to a chicken farm, so there was no need for him to worry about any danger. Halfway through the flight, he suddenly took out his cell phone and used the Qing Eliminating Society’s internal communication software to send an invitation for a video call to Ruby, who was in the Far East. Ruby did not answer the video call but replied with a voice message after rejecting his invitation, “Is there anything you need from me, Mr. Jothurn?”Brody said with a smile, “Ruby, the Far East must be very boring, right? I went to Naples today and found that the climate and customs in Southern Europe are very good. We should go there to travel together if there is a chance.”Ruby replied faintly, “Forget it. I prefer to be alone.”Brody replied, “Ruby, why do you keep rejecting me and pushing me away? You should kn
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
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
