Charlie had used Reiki to manipulate Zekeiah psychologically. Fleur might discover that if she came into contact with the corpse. Therefore, the best way was to destroy the corpse completely. As the flames shot out from the lighter, the oil and gas in the entire cabin were instantly ignited. Bang! A burst of flame gushed out from the cabin door, instantly igniting the fuel that had spilled all over the floor. Terrified, Hank and his men hurried out of the hangar. A few seconds later, the entire hangar was engulfed in a sea of fire. The hangar's fire suppression system was instantly activated, but it had no effect at all against such a fierce blaze. The excruciatingly high temperature charred the bodies of both Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro. Hank, who witnessed the whole scene while hiding outside the hangar, retreated and called Harrison. Harrison's cold voice echoed from the other end of the line as soon as the call was answered, "Did you find him?" "Y-Yes, sir, but..." Hank
The reason for Harrison's panic was that he had once heard his parents talking about the ancient and mysterious organization called the Qing Eliminating Society. Although he didn't know much about it, his parents had advised him to steer clear of it if he ever stumbled upon the society. It was because they couldn't bribe this organization like others—the Qing Eliminating Society preferred to have their debts paid with lives. And when these people started going after lives, they damn well loved wiping out entire families. However, in the United States, only prominent old-money families like the Rothschilds had heard of the existence of the Qing Eliminating Society, and the name was unknown to most people here. The composition of the upper class in the United States was very complicated. Some of them were the new rich, born from the internet era and the global financial industry after the rise of Silicon Valley and Wall Street financial markets. They were wealthy but lacked a
Once Charlie informed them that there was a fire, it meant that Zekeiah was dead. Roro was the nickname for the Rothschild family, which meant that someone from the family might contact Keith soon. Before that, Charlie had informed Keith of his plan, and Merlin knew about it too. And now, Merlin was with Keith, Christian, and Kaeden at the signing banquet of the domestic aircraft manufacturer. After receiving Charlie's message, Merlin walked up to Keith and whispered, "Lord Acker, there is a fire. Roro may call you." Keith was taken aback for a second before gently nodding as he answered, "Okay." Charlie's speculation was right. Harrison, who was in a panic, first ordered Hank and his team to retreat before calling Keith, who was far away in Oskia. He and Keith rarely met, but as the heads of the two largest families in the United States, they had each other's contact information. When Keith saw Harrison's caller ID on his phone screen, he knew that Charlie had guesse
Keith could tell that Harrison was on the verge of desperation when he said the last statement. So, he feigned surprise and asked, "Dude, did you force Zekeiah to his death?" "Of course, not!" Harrison grumbled dejectedly. "Do you think I would do that over such a menial thing?" "Why not?" Keith chuckled. "He was a member of the Qing Eliminating Society and knew many of the organization's secrets. You forced him into a desperate situation, so he had to die to show his loyalty to them. If he didn't die, all of his family members would be executed." "Fuck!" Harrison gritted his teeth and cursed. "What should I do? Would the organization think I forced him to his death? But I haven't done anything! I just wanted to keep an eye on that antique dealer and get my things back, that's all." By this time, Harrison was on the verge of collapsing from the misery. It was not because he couldn't handle the stress, but such a problem would make anyone uncomfortable. The Qing Eliminatin
Harrison didn't even want to talk to his sons about what had just happened. He knew very well that his pampered and well-protected descendants would not only be hopeless when it came to solutions but might even make matters worse. Based on his understanding of his descendants, if he told them about the matter, there would definitely be some idiots who would swear to wipe out the Qing Eliminating Society to win his favor. Therefore, Keith was the only one with whom he could discuss the matter. After all, Keith had a connection—albeit a bad one—with the Qing Eliminating Society. He was also his senior as well as the elite few of the business community, hence, they shared the same level of thinking and worldview. Harrison cleared his throat and asked sincerely, "Can you please help me weigh the situation and advise me on what to do?" Keith pretended to give it some thought and advised, "You don't have to worry too much. Your top priority now is to keep the news under wraps. As
After thinking it over, Harrison felt that Keith's suggestion was worth a shot. Keith comforted him, "Relax. As long as you can get rid of the bodies cleanly, you are basically safe. When the truth comes out, from how the Qing Eliminating Society would see it, this case is more about me than you." "How so?" Harrison asked curiously. Keith explained, "Think about it. Firstly, I am the organization's enemy. Secondly, Zekeiah is supposedly my son-in-law. Thirdly, the aviation company is my family's asset. If the Qing Eliminating Society finds out that Zekeiah died in the fire, who do you think they would suspect more? You or me?" Keith's explanation made Harrison heave a sigh of relief. He covered the microphone and whispered under his breath, "He's right! This matter has more to do with him. I'll just clean the scene and hide all the people involved, and no one will know I was behind this!" Upon thinking of this, he cleared his throat and lamented, "But this has nothing to do
The fire at the aviation company was still raging. Dozens of fire engines from several fire stations surrounded the hangar, spraying water and extinguishing agents. Fortunately, the massive fire in the hangar did not spread to the underground fuel tanks buried outside the hangar. After an hour, the towering flames were finally brought under control. While the firefighters were desperately trying to extinguish the fire, a fully armed search and rescue team was waiting outside the scene. The search and rescue team members wore protective clothing from head to toe. As well as being waterproof, fireproof, and resistant to high temperatures, the clothing was also equipped with an independent oxygen supply system. This equipment even allowed them to move freely in the fire. Although the firefighters had similar equipment, when compared, the gear of these rescue team members was far more advanced than that of the firefighters. In fact, the search and rescue team was dispatched by
The moment Helena saw Charlie, she beamed brightly, her happiness and joy beyond words. She looked up at Charlie's handsome face and greeted him shyly, "Hello, Mr. Wade! Nice to see you again." With a light smile, Charlie said sincerely, "Helena, I really appreciate you coming all the way from Northern Europe to Canada for my sake. I'm sorry for the trouble it has caused you." Helena waved her hands and said, "It's not a problem at all. As long as you say the word, the entire Nordic royal family will obey without question. This little matter is nothing at all." She then looked at Raymond beside Charlie and asked, "This must be Mr. Cole you told me about, right?" "Yes." Charlie nodded. "Let me introduce you, this is Biden Cole." Then, he said to Raymond, "This is Queen Helena I told you about." "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty," Raymond greeted her politely. "I watched your coronation ceremony on television and was deeply impressed." Helena hastily replied, "Oh, you're too
