As Brody had already mastered Reiki, his senses had also been greatly improved. He could detect a few hidden sentries on duty within the copper mine even from a few hundred meters away. Brody was not surprised that there were many hidden sentries in the copper mine. After all, this kind of dead soldiers’ base was of great significance to the Qing Eliminating Society. Each base was built at great expense with the investment of a great deal of manpower and material resources. Therefore, security was naturally a top priority here. Fortunately, the strength of these Armed Calvary Guards was not very strong, and their combined combat effectiveness was only at the level of a five-star to an eight-star martial artist. There was still a big gap between them and Brody. Thus, Brody was also confident that he could easily blend in without being discovered. Unlike Charlie, who had obtained the Apocalyptic Book by chance and mastered Reiki directly, Brody had cultivated from a martial artist
He could not help but wonder, “What’s going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?!”But in the next moment, he felt that he might be overthinking. After all, he had broken through to the Master Realm and was no longer the same as ordinary martial artists. How many opponents could he have in this world with his own strength? How could there be an expert who could target him in a place like this?He did not know that Porter had already placed his finger above the enter key on the computer. As long as Porter pressed the enter key, the three close-defense missiles would carry out a saturated strike on Brody’s location and his surrounding areas swiftly. Porter was already sweating nervously, and his master, Pilos, who was standing behind him was also incomparably nervous as he said, “Porter, fire! This person is moving so fast, so he must be one of the four great earls!” Porter shook his head and said, “Master, I’m worried that he still has companions with him. As long as we are stable, it’s
When Porter’s fingertip struck the keyboard, the three close-defense missiles that had long locked onto Brody began to rotate their pitch-black barrels immediately. This was immediately followed by thirty millimeters of artillery shells instantly erupting from the eighteen barrels of the three close-defense missiles!A large number of bullets penetrated the camouflaged glass house following the trajectory called the Kiss of Death which spewed out almost frantic flames at Brody!The speed of the bullets and artillery shells was faster than the speed of sound, but this speed was not obvious at close range. Under normal circumstances, if a person was sniped from hundreds of meters away, he would definitely be shot first before hearing the sound. However, Brody had been carefully observing his surroundings. Since the speed of light was much faster than the speed of sound and the initial speed of the artillery shells, Brody discovered that the three glasshouses on the three commanding
Brody’s last conscious thoughts were filled with anger and unwillingness.He never thought he would end up dead without a body. Compared to the taxi driver he had killed out of anger just now, the taxi driver only had a missing head, but Brody might not even be able to save his brain!Before his spinning head landed on the ground, the artillery shells were still whizzing past him intensely, blasting the opposite side of the wall into powder one after the other. Fortunately, among the misfortunes, although Brody’s body had turned into mush, his head was able to skillfully dodge this intensive barrage because the target was smaller and still in the process of rotating.Although the glasses-shaped ballistic trajectory set by the weapon expert from Ten Thousand Armies was very powerful, it still prioritized greater coverage, so the ballistic trajectory was not dense enough to reduce it to the size of the head. Brody’s head was temporarily saved because of this. However, when the art
When Porter gave the command, the bases of the three close-defense missiles suddenly emitted a series of explosions. The close-defense missiles that were originally fixed firmly on the concrete bases were instantly disconnected. Immediately afterward, all the bases of the glasshouses were blown off. The engineering team that had been arranged in advance rushed up directly and pushed the glass roofs all the way downstairs and then connected the lifting straps as they waited for the helicopters to come and hoist the three close-defense missiles away. Meanwhile, the Armed Calvary Guards and their families who had prepared to retreat began to rush out of their rooms as if they were firefighters on duty. They had little luggage with them because they did not have many personal belongings here. The dead soldiers and their families had been evacuated by ship a few days ago, so as long as the people on the ground were evacuated during the retreat, the place could instantly be blown to ru
If Porter came into direct contact with him, he might have been killed with a single move before he could even come to his senses. Therefore, judging from the other party’s strength, he must have been one of the four great earls.Charlie heaved a sigh of relief and called Porter. As soon as the call was connected, Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, did you see all the videos I sent to you?”Charlie said with a smile, “I saw the videos. You guys did a very beautiful job. Although the other party was very strong, he had no power to fight back at all. Everything was done perfectly!”Porter hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to your good idea, Mr. Wade. Otherwise, even if I think again and again, I wouldn’t have thought of using close-defense missiles to deal with the experts from the Qing Eliminating Society…”Porter was not flattering Charlie whatsoever. He truly admired Charlie’s foresight from the bottom of his heart. In the past, Ten Thousand Armies had taken on missions all
Porter did not question Charlie’s caution at all. He said without hesitation, “Okay, Mr. Wade. The entire copper mine has collapsed into ruins now. The officials from Cyprus will definitely take over the investigation after such a big commotion today. At that time, not to mention that there would be no clues left at the scene, it would not be easy for the Qing Eliminating Society to go to the scene to investigate and collect evidence after the investigation is completed!”With that said, Porter added, “I feel that there are only two clues that the Qing Eliminating Society would be able to find. Firstly, they will find a way to sneak into the ruins of the copper mine, or they will try to find a way to bribe the officials from Cyprus to obtain the remaining close-defense missiles’ artillery shells from the copper mine. If they are fortunate and hardworking, they might be able to obtain the DNA of the great earl from the soil in the collapsed area. The latter will allow them to be certai
The strange thing was that when he tried to contact Troy using the specially dedicated phone line which could be dialed at any time twenty-four hours a day in the past, it could not be connected at all. This kind of thing had never happened before over the past twenty years. Thus, this abnormal situation caused Arlo to feel very nervous. He tried to contact Brody but could not get through to Brody’s cell phone either. He suddenly had an ominous premonition at this point. However, due to the special structural framework of the Qing Eliminating Society, he had no other subordinates in Cyprus whom he could contact directly aside from the Section Ambassador, Troy. Therefore, the best way was for him to send someone to Cyprus to inquire about the situation. The best person to go and inquire was the special envoy from the copper refinery in Turkey. After all, Turkey was very close to Cyprus, and it would not take long for a helicopter to fly there.However, Brody was one of the four g
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
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
