The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 7701
Barlin's convoy never noticed anything, even when the Americans were just a couple of miles away and closing in, but Barlin himself was sharp enough to sense them.Hearing the rumble and feeling the vibration of diesel engines, he paled and cried out, "Incoming! At least… eight cars!""Really?" Kohei was baffled. "Looks quiet to me, my lord."Barlin gritted his teeth grimly. "Oh, you will see them too soon enough. I have a bad feeling about this… It's like a viper has its eyes on me.""What?!" Kohei blurted in shock. "Wait, they could have locked on to us already?!""Locked on…?" Barline repeated, frowning. "As in, they know where we are?!"Kohei nodded. "Yes! This is basically a civilian vehicle so radar lock is easy. Once locked, we're not getting away." Barlin promptly bellowed, "Then move! Turn south and go as fast as you can! Shake them off!"The driver did as told, spinning the wheel to turn the tractor around as the rest of the convoy followed at top speed.However, th

It would still take at least five days for Barlin to return to the Griffin Winter Manor.On the other hand, the second transport fleet the Americans sent had already arrived, camping at the only path between Barlin's convoy and the Japanese research base.This time, they weren't airdropping personally but multiple M1128 Strykers and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), along with supporting recon vehicles. The Strykers were equipped with miniguns, grenade launchers, and a 105mm tank gun barrel capable of covering anything the HIMARS couldn't hit. In addition, the reconnaissance vehicles were equipped with high-power, high-precision radar capable of detecting and locking onto mobile targets from dozens of miles away for precision strikes. After landing safely, these vehicles immediately took cover behind a hill, with their radars operating at full power as they waited in ambush for the Japanese convoy. Goro and the Japanese negotiating team would arrive on th

Barlin nodded in agreement. "You're right. You're all my loyal lackeys who'd never betray me… Even so, there's no assurance that the Japanese government somehow noticed something strange because someone made a mistake. It has been a long trip to get here anyway, and there's inevitably some tiny slip-up in between."Kohei nodded emphatically. "We've done our best to prevent our government from noticing anything. But there's only that much prudence and technology can achieve—there's no such thing as being a hundred percent sure."Barlin sighed nervously. "If my hunch is right, both the Americans and Japan know about us, so they would definitely come to investigate. That means the American army will chase us all the way back to my manor, and that's going to be bothersome…"Kohei nodded again. "Your concerns might not be unwarranted, my lord. If the government finds out, they would deem us all hostile and investigate what happened.Barlin asked nervously, "What about me? What should I

Even as Barlin fled in panic, he never could have expected to find himself fleeing before he even made his attempt to invade and bend the American Antarctic research crew to his will.On the way back to Griffin Winter Manor, he cursed under his breath, "Goddamn Americans. It's not that big of a deal, but they are sending in their whole goddamn army!"A century ago, he really wouldn't worry about having to fight an army—guns and artillery were no threat for a cultivator of his caliber.But after going into seclusion, he returned only to be informed that modern firepower had surpassed what cultivation could ever achieve, with their ordnance now capable of flattening entire cities.He also heard that one of the Qing Eliminating Society earls had been killed by something called a CIWS. The man had stood valiantly after a few rounds, but the hundred shots that came after shot him into tiny pieces.That was why even Barlin didn't hesitate to run, leaving the ever-loyal Kohei frowning in

Barlin almost suffered a stroke at that moment.He had been staying in this constantly rocking ice tractor for days, but now that they finally closed in on McMurdo base, the Americans sent in their army?!Frontal assault was pointless when his only option was to sneak in and bend everyone inside to his will, without anyone noticing.However, they were clearly ready for him. At this point, even if he rushed into the base and brainwashed everyone, the Americans would only send more troops.He was a one-man army, but there was only that much he could take.Turning to Kohei, he asked, "What do you think we should do?"Kohei replied without hesitation, "The best move is to retreat. We can't afford a direct confrontation with the Americans."Seething, Barlin bellowed, "You mean we came all the way here for nothing?!"Kohei nodded. "Actually, that might be for the best. I'm more worried that they won't stop at sending reinforcements to their base, but chase after us to interrogate us.

Barlin's patience wore thin, and he was ready to leap out of the ice tractor, charge straight into McMurdo Base and mind-bend everyone. It was the quickest solution, but the loyal Kohei stopped him."My lord, please calm down!" he exclaimed. "The fact that they're keeping their radar on full power meant they were on high alert and clearly ready for us. They might even have notified their government with radar imaging and the like. If you go now, the Pentagon will see you even before you get close. It's all the more troublesome if they find out what you really are!"Barlin growled through his teeth, "You said 'relatively friendly'!!! Why are they ready for us instead?!""I'm not sure myself," Kohei replied, shaking his head. "National relations aren't the same as relations between the research bases here. We are all supposed to be friends on this continent so we can count on each other when it matters… So they should have been coming out to receive us with open arms. It doesn't mak

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, reveali

However, at that time, neither Nanako nor Charlie knew what this state of mind meant. Master Jeevika was agitated, even a bit excited. He couldn't help but pace and mutter, "She is a gifted genius! She could find the Sea of Consciousness all by herself! I would never have found a way to enter the Se

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 histor

When Charlie asked if he had been to the temple, Stephen couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know what Charlie meant by this question or whether Charlie knew about his whereabouts and whom he had met.However, Stephen was quite clever. Since he was surprised, he didn't try to hide it. Instead,
