"Yes, you can trust him!" Julien quickly answered. "The pilot is my cousin." "Good." Charlie nodded and commanded, "After we take off, you'll stay and wait for your father's next order." Julien nodded decisively. He wanted Charlie to leave the country with the Four-Sided Treasure Tower as soon as possible. Once the tower was gone, his position as the heir would be secured. The position of the heir was the only thing he cared about. The Four-Sided Treasure Tower held no sentimental value in his eyes—if it was lost, so be it. Whether the loss of the tower would affect his family's fortune for the next century was of no concern to him. To him, his family was so wealthy that he wouldn't mind if the fortune were halved as long as he could inherit the position. - Charlie and Royce left New York by helicopter before dawn. No one checked or stopped their helicopter because of Harrison's special permission. No one even checked them when they entered Canada, and they crossed the
Charlie smiled when he heard Vera's voice and said, "I'm in Canada, about to head to Montreal." "Montreal?" Vera beamed in a delicate voice, "The last time I went to Montreal was during the Second World War..." She then asked curiously before Charlie could reply, "Aren't you in the United States? Why are you in Canada? Have you met Raymond?" "I've met him," Charlie answered. "Too many things have happened, and it's hard to explain over the phone. I called because I need your help." Vera affirmed, "Anything, Mr. Wade. How can I help you?" Charlie said, "I have a national treasure. I want Janus to take it back to Aurous Hill, and then I need Emmett to deliver it to the official." "National treasure?" Vera asked in surprise, "What is it?" "Have you ever heard of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower?" asked Charlie. "Four-Sided Treasure Tower?!" Vera was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone. She exclaimed, "Are you talking about the legendary Four-Sided Treasure Tower, a m
While waiting for Janus, Charlie met several Ten Thousand Armies agents in Canada. These agents were different from the mercenaries of Ten Thousand Armies headquarters. Instead of participating in the group's military operations around the world, they were stationed in certain countries and regions with safe and legal identities and became members of the secret liaison station. In addition to mandatory military training, their daily duties mainly included building safe houses and contact points in the local area and secretly stockpiling weapons and equipment, transportation, cash, gold, and even false identities so that they could carry out other missions in the area. Ten Thousand Armies had three secret liaison stations in Canada located in Vancouver in the west, Toronto in the east, and Edmonton in the central region. This time, the agent dispatched by Porter was from the secret liaison station stationed in Toronto. These agents appeared to be employees of a travel company
By the time Charlie returned to New York, the plane Janus was on was flying over the ocean. At this moment, Julien was still under Hank's surveillance. The Rothschild family's men had searched the Cole family mansion from midnight until noon but still found nothing. Harrison was desperate now. Previously, he did not want to be too blatant in his actions against the Cole family, but sensing that the Four-Sided Treasure Tower had most likely been taken away, it might be too late if he didn't hurry up to pursue them. Hence, he decided to go all out. He ordered Hank to intensify the search while sending another survey team with large geological exploration equipment to the Cole family mansion. Several huge trucks arrived at the scene, and the agents set up various equipment to survey the entire underground area of the estate. This detection equipment was so advanced that it could even clearly scan an underground ant nest. If there really was a hidden passage large enough for people
"Then go and kidnap him!" Harrison roared furiously. "Find the best interrogator to interrogate him! If he refuses to come forth with the whereabouts of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower, kill him!" Hank was slightly dazed by the bellow. He composed himself and replied, "Okay, sir. I'll have my men ready to kidnap Biden from the hospital." "Wait..." Harrison hesitated for a moment and then lamented, "Argh, forget it..." Harrison, who had calmed down, knew very well that he had made a grave mistake by sending people to the Cole family mansion to inspect and search in broad daylight. His reputation would be completely ruined if he really sent Hank and his men to kidnap Biden at the hospital. After all, it was equivalent to terrorism if he wanted to kidnap a man directly from the police and the FBI, and it would certainly lead to a fight. It was totally unwise to commit such a terrible crime. After pondering his options, Harrison hissed in frustration and began, "Go to the hospital
At this moment, Tarlon, who was in the Qing Eliminating Society headquarters in the South Region, also heard about the Rothschild family's news, which confused him. He quickly headed to Fleur's retreat room, hesitated for a while, made up his mind, and knocked on the door. Since her last escape from Oskia, Fleur had rarely come out of the room. She had never felt so insecure in over three centuries as she did now. The sudden defeat had had a devastating effect on her, making her feel depressed. Knowing that it was Tarlon at the door, she refused to see him, but on second thought, she figured that Tarlon, who was always composed and mature, wouldn't come to her at such a critical moment unless there was an important and urgent matter to report to her. Hence, she waved her hand, and the heavy stone door opened. Tarlon walked in respectfully, looked at Fleur sitting cross-legged on the floor behind the curtain, and said in a low voice, "Lord, I have something to tell you..."
Decorative lights and illuminants lit up the extravagant Wilson family mansion.Tonight was the 70th birthday banquet of Lady Wilson, the head of the Wilson family.Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her to hand her their luxurious gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love the Chinese tea. I looked high and low for this century-old Pu’er tea worth half a million dollars to present it to you.”“Grandma, you are a devoted Buddhist. This Buddha statue is carved from the authentic Hetian jade, it is worth seven hundred thousand dollars…”Looking at the nicely wrapped gifts in front of her, Lady Wilson laughed heartily. The entire ambiance was harmonious and happy.Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson’s eldest grandson-in-law, spoke, “Grandma, could you lend me a million dollars, please? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is diagnosed with uremia and I need the money for her treatment…”The entire Wilson family gaped in extreme shock. Everyone stared at Charlie with bewi
Ten billion dollars?!Charlie was shocked. His eyes wide open, his mouth wide agape.He knew that his grandfather was very wealthy, but back then, he was too young to understand the concept of money. He only knew that the Wade family was one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff and even the country, but he wasn’t sure what his net worth was.Right now, he finally knew.If ten billion dollars were just pocket money, it meant that the entire Wade family had a net worth of more than one trillion dollars!Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was slightly touched and swayed. However, when he thought about his deceased parents and how his grandfather was part of the reasons why they had died, he knew he could never easily forgive him.Sensing his frustration, Stephen quickly said, “Young Master, you are one of the Wade family members, so the money is yours. Besides, technically speaking, it belongs to your father.”“The Master said that if you’re willing to go home, he will let you
