"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
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
The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand’s parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiancé, Gerald White.Charlie didn’t know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, “Hey, Charlie!”Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his
