Chapter 5740

Author: Lord Leaf
Christian shook his head and said, “I wasn't interested in those things at all, so I didn't pay attention to it.”

Charlie asked again, “Do you know where this book went later?”

Christian continued shaking his head. “I don’t know… After your parents studied that book, they went to Oskia for some reason. As for where the book went exactly, I'm not very clear about that as well.”

Charlie nodded. It seemed that his parents' departure from the United States to Oskia wasn't as he had previously thought.

Previously, Charlie remembered his grandfather being relatively cold toward his father, so he had always thought that his parents returned to Eastcliff because of various pressures from his grandfather, laying the groundwork for their future murder. Now, it seemed that they had accidentally obtained the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book while in the United States, and after researching this book, they had decided to return to Oskia. Their true motive for returning to Oskia should have been

    Merlin’s words suddenly made everything clear to everyone.For so many years, the Ackers couldn't understand why Curtis, who was full of literary grace and gentlemanly demeanor, had clashed with the Rothschild family in such a rough manner. Even Charlie couldn't understand why his father would become enemies with the Rothschild family. For a long time, Charlie even thought that the ultra-rich and powerful Rothschild family might have been the culprits behind his parents' murder.But today, after chatting with his grandfather's family and Merlin for so long, he finally understood why his father had acted that way back then. He just wanted to give himself a proper chance to distance himself from the Wades and even from the Ackers.He and his mother had probably already realized that they were facing danger and were drawing a clear line with both families to undoubtedly protect them.Keith couldn't help but burst into tears as he choked up and said, “Why did these two foolish children

    Upon careful consideration, this indeed seemed somewhat perplexing and incomprehensible.At this moment, even Keith was a little confused. He looked at Charlie, frowned, and said, “Lulu is right. Charlie is their only son. The more dangerous the situation, the further they should have sent their son away, but why did they bring Charlie to Aurous Hill?”After saying this, he asked Charlie, “Charlie, do you remember the details of when your parents took you to Aurous Hill?”Charlie thought for a moment before replying, “We were together in Aurous Hill for about half a year, and there are too many details I can't recall now. But thinking back, I didn't find anything particularly strange at the time.”He continued, “All along, I thought my parents went to Aurous Hill because they had a falling out with Grandpa and the entire Wade family, so they settled in Aurous Hill out of necessity. Therefore, in my perception, I always thought that Grandpa and the Wades were indirectly responsible

    He was dining with his grandparents and family for the first time in twenty years, but Charlie felt like his brain couldn't keep up even before the meal began.He hadn't told his grandparents or Merlin about him obtaining the Apocalyptic Book. So far, he had only shared this information with Vera. This wasn't just because Vera had shared her secret of living nearly four hundred years with him, but also because deep down, he felt that he and Vera had some extremely similar traits. It could even be said that they had a certain mutual understanding. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call her his confidante.At this moment, Charlie only wanted to see Vera as soon as possible. He instinctively felt that the matter of the fate of the ascending dragon, the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book, and the Apocalyptic Book could only be discussed with Vera. Vera was knowledgeable and might be able to help him resolve his doubts. Even if Vera didn't understand the mysteries, Charlie still felt

    Jaxson nodded slightly and whispered, “I understand, Dad…”Keith didn't say much more. Instead, he introduced Charlie's aunt, saying, “Charlie, this is your aunt, Lulu. The last time you went to the United States with your mom, she was still a young girl. Your mom loved her the most back then.”Charlie politely greeted, “Hello, Aunt Lulu.”Lulu's eyes turned red, and she cried as she stepped forward to hug Charlie, sobbing as she said, “I've been waiting for so many years for you to finally be home, Charlie. Charlie, you’ve grown up and achieved so much. Your parents in heaven must be very proud…”Being the youngest in the Ackers, Lulu naturally received the most affection. She was raised by her older sister since childhood, so Ashley could almost be considered to be just like a mother to Lulu. Needless to say, Lulu’s three brothers all doted on her in various ways as well.Although Keith and his wife valued and cherished their eldest daughter, Ashley, the most, Ashley became inde

    Keith spoke up and said, “From today onward, 60% of the assets in various fields of the Ackers’ industries will be transferred to Charlie's name.”He continued, “Hold your opinions for now. Let me explain why I made this decision. There are three reasons. Firstly, at least half of the Ackers' current assets were earned by Charlie's mother. Secondly, Charlie has been away from home for so many years, and we owe him. Thirdly, Charlie has saved the Ackers twice, and he has done us a favor. What do you all think?”Charlie’s uncles and aunt replied unanimously, “Dad, we have no objections!”At this point, Charlie spoke up, “Grandpa, the assets of the Ackers belong to the Ackers, not me. I can't accept them.”Keith waved his hand and said, “Charlie, I’m not just being polite with you. Money isn't important to the Ackers. Even if we give you 60%, the remaining amount we have would last for generations. It's just a number, but now, you have to confront the Qing Eliminating Society, and you

    When faced with Lord Acker’s question, Charlie did not beat around the bush. He generously said, “I knew your health hadn't fully recovered, especially with your situation of Alzheimer's disease which did not look too optimistic. So, before you and Grandma arrived, I left a formation and a Rejuvenating Pill in the villa in advance. The formation will slowly release the medicinal effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, allowing everyone living inside to improve their health. Moreover, the worse the health, the more benefits they'll receive.”The Acker family members were speechless with shock. Lord Acker wanted to say something, but his vocal cords seemed halfway stiff, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.Though he didn't speak, tears had already welled up in his eyes. His wife beside him was also teary-eyed.The sky-high price of three hundred billion US dollars for the Rejuvenating Pill was set by the Ackers, but even though Christian had been willing to pay three hundred billion U

    For the Ackers, Charlie has saved them too many times and generously produced three Rejuvenating Pills one after another. Faced with this kindness, the Acker family members all deeply remembered it. Previously, the Ackers never owed anyone favors, but now, they owed Charlie a favor that they couldn't possibly repay. So, they all hoped that Charlie could accept the Ackers' assets. This way, they could also feel relieved in their hearts.At this moment, Charlie spoke up, “Grandpa, I can promise to accept the Ackers's assets, but not right now. After all, in the eyes of the Qing Eliminating Society, they still don't know about my existence. If the Ackers transfer the assets directly to my name, my identity might be exposed on the same day. So, for now, please help me hold onto these assets. Once I've dealt with the Qing Eliminating Society, it won't be too late for you to give them to me then.”Keith nodded gently when he heard this. He also knew that promises made verbally about assets

    Even though he was touched by his grandson's filial piety, he still felt unworthy of being a grandfather and thought he didn't deserve such deep filial piety from his grandson.When he heard that Charlie no longer blamed him, the huge burden in his heart finally fell.At this moment, Charlie looked at Keith and said, “Grandpa, on such a joyous day, I really want to have a drink with you. So, enjoy yourself and take this Rejuvenating Pill now. When we drink later, let's both have a few more glasses!”Seeing that Charlie had brought up the matter to this extent, Keith unloaded the burden in his heart and nodded heavily, saying, “Okay, Charlie, you will accompany Grandpa to enjoy some drinks later!”Lady Acker, who was next to them, was also delighted and said, “Charlie, Don Albert prepared some ingredients for me. I made a dish of stuffed eggplants that you used to love when you were young. Do you remember how they taste?”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Of course I remember.

    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

    Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i

    Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove

    Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

    Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc
