LOGINHowever, a mind trick wasn't the best option if Charlie wanted control over Esteban—the man was a governor serving the Qing Eliminating Society and therefore close to their inner circle, if not having personal contact with Fleur.It was therefore likely Fleur would send an elder or some confidante to inspect Esteban at a moment's notice, and the mind trick could very much be noticed.That was why he needed Esteban to be his willing slave.Naturally, bribery or threats wouldn't work in that respect—he needed Esteban to mess up big time.It was clear Esteban wasn't completely loyal if he had the guts to make profits behind Fleur's back. Working from that logic, using more profits to tempt him would work, and he could well make a fatal mistake from there.Rachel had no idea what Charlie's real plan was, but had the feeling it was no pipe dream if he wanted to control Esteban either.Nodding without hesitation, she said, "Whatever you need, Mr. Cooper—just ask! I'll do my best to h
Moreover, the staff tactfully left once they took Rachel to the lounge where Charlie and Vera were.Once it was just the three of them, Rachel glided toward the other two and bowed reverently, "Greetings, Mr. and Ms. Cooper!"Charlie smiled at her. "I'm guessing the Left Military Governorate was really pleased with buying the dip?" Rachel nodded repeatedly. "Yes! The governor was so pleased he even sent a praetor to reward me!"She then told Charlie about all the rewards Esteban showered her with, along with the Dragon Bronze Plaque.Taking it for a brief look, Charlie handed it back to Rachel and said quietly, "This Plaque plus the antidote that lasts 180 days definitely means progress. But that's still stingy of Esteban—he should have given your mother one too."He spoke nonchalantly, but it really struck a chord with Rachel.Being a Scholar wasn't an individual tragedy—it was generational, lasting several centuries.After all, Rachel was not the only Scholar in her family,
Looking at it that way, the Rothschilds were really the perfect fortress.-Early the next morning, Rob freshened up and headed to Rachel's dorms while everyone else was having breakfast.Rachel herself dressed up prettily before heading to the airport with Rob, where the private jet Julien had arranged was already waiting. Within hours, they arrived at Cambridge where Julien's convoy had been waiting for a while, and quickly took them to a private golf course near Harvard.Harvard didn't have a golf course like Boston or Yale, and the college team had to train at nearby sports centers. Still, it was a luxurious place considering the alumni and exclusivity were so highly restricted that not just anyone could attain membership.Rob was surprised that they would go to the golf course directly. Naturally, he had a good swing as he had learned a little as a child of privilege, and was thrilled at the prospect of Julian inviting him for some golfing, which in turn meant appreciation.
After meeting Julien and receiving advice from his girlfriend, Rob realized that having Julien's favor was more important than having his own family's favor.Hence, as soon as Julien called to invite him and Rachel to Harvard for dinner, he said yes without even asking Rachel.After that, he happily called Rachel and told her about the invitation.Rachel already knew everything, but still feigned excitement and exclaimed, "Great! That's definitely good news for you… But when are we going?""Tomorrow!" Rob chirped. "His private jet would be waiting at the airport and would take us directly there… He also said we can decide when, so we should go sooner, or wait a little?"Rachel giggled. "Sooner, obviously. It's a few hours of flight and the sooner we get there, the more respectful we'd be.""That makes sense!" Rob agreed. "Then we will go right after breakfast tomorrow!""Okay. I'll be waiting for your call tomorrow," Rachel replied.Esteban was naturally listening in on Rachel'
While a little surprised to get Rachel's call, Julien still answered."Greetings, Mr. Rothschild," she promptly greeted him. "It's Rachel Getty, and I must first convey my gratitude regarding the tip you provided at dinner. It helped my family make a fortune!"Naturally, she was telling Julien indirectly to relay the message to Charlie, reporting that her objective was complete.Julien was himself smart and chuckled heartily, "Oh, it's nothing—you'd be family in the future anyway, so there's no need for such formal thanks over a little tip. Don't worry, I'd let you in the loop if there are similar chances."Rachel was endlessly grateful nonetheless. "Yes, Mr. Rothschild. I'm really grateful…"-Meanwhile, the Left Military Governorate was listening in on Rachel's conversation, with Esteban being positively delighted and thrilled to hear Julien answering Rachel's personal call, and being so approving of her.On top of that, he made a few hundred million in profit from that 'littl
With that, Yani turned to leave the dorms, not bothering to look at the kneeling trio twice on her way out.After she left, the trio suddenly flocked around Rachel, kneeling to her again.One of them even exclaimed reverently, "Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, Ms. Getty! Please do grace us with your blessings in the future!"They might all be Scholars, but the trio was reduced to backup dancers since Rachel started dating Rob Rothschild.Naturally, they were indignant at first, but they were now shown the sheer difference between them in no uncertain terms.At this point, no other Scholar would be afforded Rachel's level of privilege, as they were on completely different levels. Hence, their envy and jealousy all faded, replaced only by worshipfulness.Rachel understood that too, and so told the trio, "On your feet, ladies. I'd still need your help in the future, and I'll always make sure that you and your families get your rightful shares."Even as the trio thank
Jasmine was even more stunned, and she blurted out, “Then... Then you still asked me to kick him out from the scene yesterday...”Charlie said indifferently, “I did not know of his true identity at that time. Regardless, even if I had known, he still had to be kicked out in that situation.”After paus
“Kazuo?!” Hanzo was suddenly very excited and he hurriedly asked, “Kazuo, where are you now? I saw the news and they all said that you kidnapped the eldest young master of the Fox family. What the hell is going on?!”Kazuo hurriedly said, “Father, it’s a long story at this point. We were tricked by t
Jordan stared at the Rejuvenating Pill, full of anticipation. He could finally have the miraculous elixir of his dreams!The rest of the Fox family widened their eyes as they watched with bated breath. They had heard of the Rejuvenating Pill’s miraculous effect, and wanted to confirm if it was indeed
Quinn smiled. “I freed up my schedule today. I’ll accompany you for lunch and take a stroll with you after that. I’ve already booked the restaurant, too.”She then added delicately, “You should pack up now, Brother Charlie. I'll get the helicopter to arrive at the tarmac on the roof of your hotel in
