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
When Julien heard Helena's arrangement, he knew that she wanted to spend some time alone with Charlie. If he had any common sense, he would do as she asked. Moreover, given the current situation, Julien knew that Royce would not have a chance of winning Helena's heart, and his family could completely rule out the idea of marrying into the Nordic royal family. Julien's strength lay in his awareness of the situation. Since something was already beyond repair, he certainly wouldn't waste any energy on it or set himself up for trouble. So, he very politely said to Helena, "That sounds like a good idea. Thank you for the arrangements, Your Majesty." Helena gestured to her personal housekeeper and informed her, "Take these two gentlemen to their rooms." "Yes, Your Majesty," said the young woman. After that, she turned to Raymond and Julien. "Sirs, please follow me." The two men followed Helena's housekeeper and left. Helena then said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, this way, please."
Charlie chuckled. "I have no use for his favor, and besides, I don't want him to know of my existence." He then added, "Furthermore, this pill isn't free. It comes at a price." Helena curled her lips into a cheeky smile and said with a delicate voice, "I see. You want me to help you sell this pill to him." "Yes." Charlie nodded and instructed, "I want you to help me sell the pill. When you see him, take out the pill, cut off a tenth for him to take, and when he knows it works, you can sell the rest to him. As for the price, you can charge him at least one to two billion dollars. It would be even better if you could sell it for a higher price." "Alright, I understand," said Helena who immediately understood what he meant. "Please give me your bank account number. After I negotiate the price with him, I'll have him transfer the money to you. It will not be less than 20 billion." "Nah, don't bother." Charlie waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "You talk to him and keep the mon
Charlie asked, "Isn't this the same as what you said earlier?" Helena stuck out her tongue cheekily. "At least the order has changed. There's still a difference." Speaking of which, Helena said, "What you asked me to do is a piece of cake for me. It isn’t right to accept your money again..." Charlie affirmed earnestly, "Listen, this is the last price. Go to Harrison, and we will split the money 50-50 when it's done. If that's fine, we'll proceed. If you don't want to take the deal, I'll find someone else to help me." Helena felt both joy and concern as she looked at Charlie, with his overwhelming display of masculinity. The joy was obvious—not because of money, but because Charlie was always thinking of her and cared about her. As for the concern, it wasn't about being unable to repay the favor, as that was already impossible. Her real worry was that none of her fantasies about men could ever compare to even a fraction of Charlie himself. Having fallen into this love trap,
Meanwhile, Harrison was on the verge of collapse. Although his men had already cleaned up the scene and he had hidden Hank and the others away, even planning to send them overseas at the right moment, he was still extremely anxious. He had expended so much effort and endured so much pressure from the public, yet he had not been able to locate the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. That was still not the worst part. He had even implicated the Qing Eliminating Society. What was even worse was that he had inexplicably killed a core member of the Qing Eliminating Society. The misery would be worth it if he could hide the truth from the Qing Eliminating Society and recover the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. But if, by any chance, the tower could not be retrieved and the Qing Eliminating Society came after him for revenge, he'd really be wishing for death. The torment over the past few days had caused his blood pressure to rise continuously. After examining him, his personal doctor strongl
"No problem," Emmett reassured with a smile. "Don't worry about it. Everything has already been arranged. The flight will land in Eastcliff in two hours, and military journalists will be there to capture some footage. At 10 p.m., some edited footage will be handed over for the evening news broadcast. You can keep an eye on it." "Wonderful!" Charlie beamed. "I'll wait for the news to be released." - Just as Emmett's plane took off from Aurous Hill, the Boeing 777 plane that Fleur was on finally landed at New York Kennedy Airport. On the plane, Fleur was feeling a little cramped and agitated. Despite her determination to come to the United States for the Four-Sided Treasure Tower, she couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of unease when she thought about how she'd recently broken decades of low-profile living and had been going out frequently. Fleur had almost never left the base since the beginning of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last ce
The disappearance of the coordinate points did not necessarily mean that the corresponding member of the Qing Eliminating Society had died, but it did mean that he had lost contact. The Qing Eliminating Society had very strict disciplinary requirements for members like Zekeiah who were on long-term missions outside the base, and the punishment for losing contact was very severe. If the disconnection was intentional and malicious, once caught, the person could be executed on the spot. Even if they managed to hide, it wouldn't help as the poison in their body had a set activation period. If they didn't receive the antidote within the deadline, they would surely die. If the disconnection was due to negligence, such as forgetting to charge the special phone or equipment malfunction, the organization would not let it slide easily either. Depending on the situation, they would send an envoy to punish the individual. In the lightest case, that person would have to take a special poison
