It was indeed mind-boggling to find a military base that did not belong to one’s own country in one’s own country. However, the logic behind the commander’s judgment was extremely reasonable, and the fact that the other party could obtain a heavy weapon such as the close-defense missile proved that the other party was not an ordinary person but was definitely a militant who possessed strong practical combat experience.As a place where militants used close-defense missiles to defend the copper mine, it was very likely that this was indeed a military base. Even if it was not really a military base, this place had to contain huge and unknown secrets!The commander said somewhat nervously, “No, this is a matter of great importance! I must report this matter to the President immediately!” Soon, the commander contacted the President directly. After giving the President a detailed report, he hung up the phone respectfully and then instructed the few people beside him, “Gentleman, the p

Arlo instantly made up his mind never to report the actual situation here to the British Lord! At the very least, he could not tell the British Lord that there were artillery shells and shell casings from close-defense missiles found here. He also could not let the British Lord know that there were traces of a person’s DNA found on the artillery shells from the close-defense missiles and that the DNA probably belonged to Mr. Jothurn. After all, close-defense missiles were a sensitive matter, and the discovery of shell casings within the scope of the copper mine was sufficient to prove to the British Lord that the enemy had long been secretly controlling the dead soldiers’ base under his watch. In that case, it would be a serious dereliction of duty on his part.Coincidentally, the officials from Cyprus were currently planning to conceal the news about the close-defense missiles, and they wanted to fill in the entire collapsed area. This meant that everything that had happened here

Arlo quickly said, “British Lord, I’ve already entered the location of the copper mine to investigate, but the entire copper mine has collapsed from top to bottom, and even the part above the ground of the copper mine has collapsed into ruins. The entire site is completely destroyed, and there is only debris left, so I can’t find any clues at all…”The British Lord asked solemnly, “How could this happen?! Such a huge base is gone just like that?! What about the people inside, then? Have they all been killed?!”Arlo said in fear, “British Lord, I don’t know what happened to the people inside. I was originally hoping for the officials from Cyprus to conduct an official investigation, but they have given out an order for the entire site to be filled in. They are going to make a public announcement that the copper mine has reached the end of its service life and will be abandoned. The place is heavily guarded now, and I’m unable to do anything to continue investigating this matter!”The

When Silas heard his brother’s question, he turned to look at Arlo and then sneered as he said, “My dear brother, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’m only acting on the British Lord’s order. To be honest with you, I am your alternative.”“What?!” Arlo was stunned. He had never thought that he actually had an alternative as one of the five Military Governor Officers and one of the British Lord’s most trusted confidants! Moreover, he could not imagine that his alternative was actually his brother!He blurted out, “When did you become my alternative?!”Silas smiled and said, “I was already your alternative before you became the Right Military Officer of the Right Military Governor Office. In fact, I knew that you were going to become the Right Military Officer before you even knew it.”“You b*stard!” Arlo yelled angrily, “You’re my brother and I watched you grow up! You were my alternative, but you never told me about it at all throughout all these years?!” Silas asked him, “Wh

Arlo was filled with resentment. He did not expect that this younger brother of his whom he had brought up, trained, and supported wholeheartedly since he was young, would betray him at a critical moment.He wanted to fight back and escape at this time but felt as if his whole body was completely anesthetized. He slumped on his seat and did not even have the strength to lift his arms, let alone escape at this moment. Even opening the car door was a pipe dream.Arlo had tears in his eyes as he said to Silas, “Silas, if I die, the British Lord will also train an alternative to be placed by your side in the future. You might even end up just like me one day, and I am serving as a warning to you!”Silas shook his head and said calmly, “That will never happen. I’m not the same as you. I will never betray the British Lord!”After saying that, Silas added, “If I do well, I will accept it if the British Lord rewards me, and if I do not do well, I will also accept it if the British Lord pun

Arlo looked at his brother with bloodshot eyes and begged in an extremely humble tone, “Silas, as your brother, I beg you to please bury my wife and son with me since I’ve taken good care of you all this while. I have never asked you for help before in this life, and this is my last request before my death…”Silas shook his head and said calmly, “Bro, if we were in Naples, I would have honored you and buried you with your family even if you did not say anything, but we are in Cyprus now, and I can’t take your corpse back with me on the plane. Either airport won’t allow a corpse to enter or exit the country.”Arlo was speechless and said, “Silas, in that case, you can cremate my corpse and take my ashes back with you to be buried with my family!”Silas refused expressionlessly, “That’s impossible. Where would I cremate your body in this situation? The Cyprus police will be here before your corpse is fully cremated.”Arlo asked him, “You can’t let me die alone in the wilderness in Cy

Meanwhile, Mr. Chardon was still looking for clues about Vera in Eastcliff and was not ready to depart for Aurous Hill immediately. Mr. Zorro was still investigating New York but hadn’t made any progress. As for Miss Dijo, she had just settled down in the Far East.The three of them received a meeting notice from the British Lord at the same time, so the three of them entered the communication software immediately and waited for the British Lord to appear. Before the British Lord appeared, the three of them did not see Mr. Jothurn logging into the communication software, so Mr. Zorro joked, “If Mr. Jothurn doesn’t hurry up and connect to the communication software, I’m afraid that he will be punished after the British Lord logs in!”Mr. Chardon said casually, “I think Mr. Jothurn may be investigating relevant clues, so the British Lord will definitely understand if he is late if something really important is involved.”Ruby remained silent and did not seem to pay any attention to

The three great earls were extremely horrified when they heard the British Lord’s words. When the British Lord mentioned that Mr. Jothurn was dead just now, they thought that he had run into a greater expert, but they came to a realization now that Mr. Jothurn had died from a close-defense missile. They initially thought that there were very few people left in this world who could hurt them so they could basically be tyrants, but they suddenly came to a realization today that their so-called cultivation level was nothing compared to heavy weapons. Mr. Zorro, who was in New York, asked nervously, “British Lord, who would use close-defense missiles to deal with Mr. Jothurn? Could it be the official Cyprus military?”The British Lord said in a low voice, “No. Mr. Jothurn’s body as well as the artillery shells and the shell casings from the close-defense missiles were all found within the range of the dead soldiers’ base in Cyprus. This means that the enemy had installed the close-def

While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone
