At this moment, Zekeiah had no idea that the young doctor wearing a mask in front of him had anything special about him. He felt that with his status, even the chairman of the hospital would treat him with utmost respect and modesty. He viewed the young ER doctor as someone who wanted to get to know him and curry favor with him. Hence, he did not take Charlie seriously. Charlie, on the other hand, donned a polite smile and said, "Mr. Cash, I'm the head of the ER. We are here to see the patient's family. Are you his family?" Zekeiah raised his chin and said arrogantly, "He is my assistant, so, yes, I'm his family. You can tell me anything about him." Charlie smiled and began, "Oh, since you are our distinguished guest, in order to show our respect, we decided to move the patient to the VIP ward on the top floor. The room is much larger and more comfortable than this room. It is more convenient for you and your companion to keep the patient company." While speaking, Charli
Charlie deliberately revealed the truth about Raymond and the FBI in order to deceive Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro with the most sincere pretense. His goal was to physically separate the two men. Only by separating them would it be convenient to defeat them one by one. Therefore, he deliberately brought up the FBI and fabricated a so-called demand. Nonetheless, with the truth told in the previous statement, the latter bluff seemed credible. In fact, Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro felt that what Charlie said must be the truth without consulting each other. They believed that the FBI should have restricted the number of visitors accompanying the patient in order to minimize the potential danger. The demand was reasonable and convincing. Of course, Zekeiah refused to give in. He assumed that Mr. Zorro might cause his death eventually, but the opportunity to make an achievement was right in front of him. If there was anyone who had to go, it had to be him. In that case, he would lose his c
It would be helpful if Zekeiah could stay. Mr. Zorro figured that he would need Zekeiah's help for his retreat as well as a safe house if he succeeded. Therefore Mr. Zorro did not want Zekeiah to leave. However, it was not the time to be stubborn. He could clearly see the situation they were in and distinguish the importance of the matter. First of all, he could not leave. One, he was the only one who was able to take Biden away from the FBI. Second, he did not want Zekeiah to stay and challenge the FBI's request. If they truly attracted the FBI's attention and the FBI forced them to change rooms, they would be in a difficult position. Taking action directly wouldn't have a high chance of success, but if they did move to a different floor, there might be no opportunity to act at all. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Zorro decided to let Zekeiah go first to avoid the FBI's unwanted attention. Zekeiah was very upset when he heard Mr. Zorro's words, but he knew
Zekeiah figured that Charlie, disguised as a doctor, had to be following the FBI's orders. No one would ignore the FBI's request. Moreover, Charlie's mannerisms were humble and kind, which made him feel less angry. So, he snarled expressionlessly, "You're right. Those FBIs are all fucking bullshits! They can't even handle their business properly, yet they have the guts to control other patients' families! They are fucking bastards!" Charlie donned a flattering smile and nodded. "You're right, Mr. Cash." Then, he lowered his voice and added, "Don't worry. I'll wait until the evening and watch the FBI. If they are lax and not so alert at night, I'll find a way to sneak you into the hospital." Zekeiah's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he subconsciously queried, "Is it doable?" "I don't think it's a problem," Charlie convinced him attentively. "But we still need to observe them tonight. These people tend to be strict for a while and then relax. They're stricter when the leade
Lulu was still a college student when Curtis had died, so Zekeiah had never met Curtis. However, the Qing Eliminating Society had been grooming him for Lulu since his college days. At that time, there were more than twenty young male scholars who were groomed just like he was. Most of them were of pure Oskian descent, and a small number were of mixed Oskian and foreign descent. Some mongrels or mixed blood were chosen because the society wasn't sure what Lulu's preference for a partner would be like after she grew up, so they selected these charming scholars and trained them rigorously. Lulu had no idea that the outstanding boys around her who had excellent grades, extremely rich knowledge, and gentlemanly manners that far surpassed ordinary peers, were almost all scholars of the Qing Eliminating Society. The purpose of the society was clear-cut. Someone among these high-quality men who surrounded Lulu would be able to win her heart and get his place in the Acker family.
"Do you know that the dead soldiers in Cyprus surrendered to me?" "You're just a scholar. How dare you point a gun at me? Aren't you afraid that I'll twist your head off and kill your parents who are the Armed Cavalry Guards?!" Zekeiah's pupils suddenly shrank, and his appearance suddenly appeared fierce. He gritted his teeth and barked, "I don't care if whatever you say is true, but you’ve threatened me with my family, so you must die!" After that, he pulled the trigger. At this moment, Charlie swiftly grabbed the gun and pressed the hammer on the back of the gun with his thumb. Snap! The gun did not fire, but the alloy hammer was broken. Without the hammer, the gun had lost the key component of firing the bullet primer. No matter how many times Zekeiah pulled the trigger, the gun could not fire at all. He had never expected that Charlie was so powerful! Charlie could break the alloy hammer with just one finger! Zekeiah was utterly terrified. In order to minimi
Zekeiah was extremely frightened. His father and grandfather had worked very hard for the Qing Eliminating Society so that he had the opportunity to become a scholar. In order to stand out from the many scholars, he had endured hardships and studied since his childhood. Over the past few decades, he had overcome difficulties and worked day and night. Now, he had fallen into Charlie's hands. Charlie and the Acker family wanted him dead, which made him feel desperate. The strong desire to survive made him weep, and he pleaded, "Charlie, since you know so many inside stories of the society, you must also know the tragic fate of people like me. If it weren't for the desperate situation, I wouldn't work for the society. I beg you to spare my life for the sake of your aunt and cousin! Please spare my life, I beg you! I'll be your spy. I'll report every move of the society to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Please give me a chance to repent myself rather than kill me!" With
Zekeiah was dazed for a while before saying with a determined expression, "I understand!" Charlie asked, "Let me ask you, why did the Qing Eliminating Society not stop after my parents died? Why did they place you and Adrienne as moles in my grandpa's family?" "I don't know..." Zekeiah shook his head. "All I know is that we were given a training mission the year your parents died. A total of 60 scholars participated in the training with the purpose of successfully marrying Lulu and Jaxson, but we don't know why the Lord did this." Charlie frowned and interrogated, "Fleur let you hide in my grandpa's family for so long. Why did she suddenly turn against him and try to kill them?" "I-I don't know either..." Zekeiah stuttered with a blank face. "I guess she wanted me to take over the Ackers smoothly. Once all the Ackers die and I take over the family legacy, the family will be on par with the Society." "That's impossible." Charlie shook his head. "Even I don’t care about money,
