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
