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..."
Ever since the Acker family had bumped into Mr. Chardon in Oskia and Mr. Chardon had ended up dead, they had never returned to New York. However, Charlie and Lulu's family realized that there must be something fishy about Zekeiah due to a previous phone call between Lulu and him. Still, since Zekeiah was in New York, which was far away from them, everyone simply minded their own business and left Zekeiah alone. At this moment, Zekeiah was still known as Keith's son-in-law. Moreover, he portrayed himself as the representative of the Acker family in the United States since he was the only member currently in the country for the time being. He enjoyed fame and popularity because of this. Nonetheless, Zekeiah was well aware that the Acker family was currently in the process of shifting their business from the United States to Oskia. Even if they did not have a complete fallout, in three years, they would likely pull the rug out from under him. What frustrated him and Fleur the
"Well..." Zekeiah shook his head and answered honestly, "To be honest with you, Mr. Griffin, I haven't paid much attention to this, and I don't know the specific reasons." Tarlon ordered, "Go and find out! Mobilize your connections and find out as many clues as you can." "Okay!" Zekeiah respectfully replied, "Please rest assured, Mr. Griffin. I'll investigate it thoroughly." Tarlon said coldly, "Mr. Zorro has already flown to New York and will arrive in two hours. Go to the airport to meet him and wait for further instructions." Zekeiah couldn't help but feel nervous upon hearing that Mr. Zorro was coming. He mumbled under his breath, "Three of the Four Great Earls were killed, and Mr. Zorro is the only one left. There's a chance someone might want to kill him too. If he comes to New York, could it end up affecting me?" He was thinking about whether he would be killed as collateral damage. Zekeiah couldn't shake the feeling that the Four Great Earls seemed to be rather unlu
Not only Zekeiah, but Tarlon also did not know about the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Vera, who had lived for nearly four hundred years, had only heard her father mention it once. Over the past three centuries, she had only read non-authoritative records of the treasure tower in some unofficial history. The records back then were all written records, and the people who wrote these records all went by hearsay. Those who wrote and read the books didn't know if the treasure tower truly existed. Even if it was real, they didn't know what it looked like, let alone Tarlon. However, Tarlon was the first to conclude that the tower was definitely extraordinary. Therefore, he didn't take the information lightly. He printed the image out as soon as possible and brought it to Fleur. He presented the printed color photo to Fleur and said respectfully, "Lord, I got this from Zekeiah. The tower in the photo is the antique that the Rothschild family was looking for in New York." Fleur jolted
