Chapter 10

Author: Lord Leaf
Everyone was stunned upon the sudden roar.

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and searched for Emgrand Group’s official social media account!

Indeed!

The certified official account of Emgrand Group had posted the latest statement!

A shock wave swept the conference room as the post was announced!

Claire really did strike the deal! With twice the intended total value!

It only took half an hour!

How was it possible? How was it so easy?

It didn’t make any sense!

Harold was feeling shocked and regretted!

Before today, Claire Wilson was incomparable to himself in terms of status or identity.

If he had accepted the task yesterday, he would not give Claire a chance to shine herself regardless of the results!

Yet, he refused because he feared that he would fail!

He refused the mission, but the crucial point was that Claire had succeeded!

It was like a loud slap to his face!

Instantly, Lady Wilson picked up the contract excitedly and started reading it. Then, she let out a loud laugh. “Good! Good! Very good! Claire, you’ve done an excellent job!”

After that, she asked, “How did you do it?”

Claire answered, “It is all thanks to Miss Doris Young. She thinks highly of us, the Wilson family.”

Claire wanted to be truthful, but after a second thought, she didn’t even know who the chairman of Emgrand Group was. No one would believe her if she said the truth.

Upon hearing this, Harold felt as if his heart had been stabbed a million times and he wanted to die!

It was no wonder Claire could win the contract!

It turned out that Doris Young of Emgrand Group herself thought highly of the Wilson family!

Did it mean that it wouldn’t have mattered who had gone, after all?

He berated himself for missing such a great opportunity!

At this moment, Charlie spoke, “Harold, do you still remember our bet?”

In an instant, Harold’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace.

How could he forget about the bet? Whoever lost the bet must grovel at the other party’s feet.

Claire had won the contract, so it was obvious that he had lost…

‘No! No way! How can I grovel at that loser’s feet! Over my dead body!’

He gritted his teeth and sneered. “Charlie Wade, who the h*ll do you think you are? You are just a useless toyboy who married into our family! Do you expect me to bow before you?”

Charlie said flatly, “Yes, indeed, I’m a useless toyboy, but remember, we took an oath yesterday. Whoever breaks their promise would have his mother, father, grandpa, and grandma die!”

Again, he deliberately emphasized the word ‘grandma’.

Sure enough, a layer of black covered Lady Wilson’s face!

She glared at Harold and asked coldly, “What about it? Do you really want me to die?”

Harold panicked and blurted, “Grandma, don’t fall for his trick! He just wants to humiliate me and to deride you!”

Charlie said calmly, “Harold, don’t you try to fool Grandma now. Don’t forget that you’ve made a vow. If you go against it, you’ll be condemned. Do you want to curse Grandma?”

“Grandma, we were just joking, you can’t take it seriously!”

Lady Wilson wore an inexpressive look on her face and said, “You know that I’m a devoted Buddhist. How dare you break the promise after swearing to God?!”

“Grandma…”

Harold genuinely panicked now, because it was clear that his grandma was really angry!

Seeing Harold’s reluctance in keeping his promise that involved herself to save his face, Lady Wilson slapped the table fiercely and yelled, “Are you determined to break your oath now?”

“Grandma, I…” Harold stuttered hesitantly. In his mind, he made a quick deduction.

If he abided by the betting rule and admitted his defeat to Charlie, he would lose face.

But if he went against the bet and enraged his grandma, he would lose everything he had in the Wilson family! He would lose more than his face!

No matter how reluctant he was, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “Alright! I’ll keep my promise!”

Charlie glanced at him quietly with a smile, waiting for him to come and kneel before him.

Harold felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He strode slowly and with difficulty as he moved towards Charlie.

He was so agitated that his whole body was shivering, clenching his teeth annoyingly. But then, his legs went jelly and he knelt on the ground.

Thump!

Some of the busybody onlookers even quietly retrieved their phones and aimed it at them.

Harold bowed his head and said with a loud yet trembling voice, “I’m sorry!”

Then, he leaned over and knocked his head against the floor.

Charlie uttered, “What did you say? I can’t hear you, speak louder and clearer.”

Enduring the humiliation, Harold bowed his head again and shouted, “I’m sorry!”

Charlie sneered, “Oh, you’re sorry. What are you sorry for?”

Inside Harold, he wanted to kill and shred Charlie into a million pieces, but there was still one last bow.

Thus, he bit his lips and said, “I shouldn’t have doubted Claire’s ability…”

Another bow to the floor!

Charlie felt a dash of spring breeze surging through his body!

He had been holding a grudge against Harold for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity to make Harold kneel on the floor like a dog and admit his mistakes, he felt so refreshed and excited!

Claire’s eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the entire event unfolding, suddenly feeling that her husband was different from before!

However, she couldn’t really tell what the difference was.

When she recalled the confident look on Charlie’s face when he had made the bet with Harold yesterday, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had already known that she would succeed.

Where and why did he have such strong confidence all of a sudden?

    As Charlie drove along the highway to the Arctic Circle, Vera asked from beside him, "What's your plan if the AI module does find the Qing Eliminating Society's safehouses across Africa?"Charlie thought about it and said, "I guess it's the same plan as last time—slip in quietly, eliminate the Section Ambassadors, remove the dead soldiers and the Armed Cavalry Guard, and leave after blowing up the safehouse."Vera considered the idea. "It's my opinion that there are over a dozen, if not twenty or more Qing Eliminating Society safehouses guarded by dead soldiers across the world. Naturally, you managed to take the Cyprus safehouse completely by surprise, and I'm sure the one in Nigeria will be a success too, with your elaborate misdirection."However, as the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'. If Fleur's plan to use Nigeria falls through while she loses other bases across Africa, she would be more cautious, and you can bet that even they would doub

    Even Charlie couldn't argue that it had never crossed his mind to include telco services in Horizon's operations.He and Hugo were strangers who had met completely by chance, and he had sent him to Ten Thousand Armies to help after saving him.The plan was for Ten Thousand Armies to eventually be equipped with their personal satellite systems, while Hugo also found his palace in the team and shrugged off his slump.And now, it was clear that the applications for both communications satellites and remote sensing satellites were infinite, so it was time to prioritize and pour all their resources into it.Clapping Hugo on the shoulder, Charlie smiled, "That's a good plan. Horizon is a legitimate business in the States and has now been acquired by the Rothschilds, so having them add telco service into their framework is what one would consider the logical next step for progress."Later, I'll ask Horizon to spread word about their new telco department and start a recruitment drive. Whe

    After Charlie took the key, he and Vera packed a few sets of clothes before driving out of the palace. The data center just happened to be in the north, so Charlie could drop by since Kaeden, Merlin, and Hugo were all there too.After some pleasantries, he told them they could ask for Helena if they needed help with simpler matters, but to contact him if it was serious.Before they left, Hugo took him to the side and said, "There's something we need to talk about, sir."Charlie nodded. "What is it?"Hugo said, "Over the past couple of days, I've looked through all of Horizon's operations and the hardware they're working with. As it turns out, their satellite launches have all been outsourced to SpaceX ever since they started their satellite launch service—one might even say they were one of SpaceX's very first clients and their biggest support."Considering their close partnership, I was thinking you could affiliate Ten Thousand Armies' new communications satellite with Horizon.

    They didn't have much time, but Norway was sparsely populated, and there weren't many flights. It would waste more time to get a rented vehicle to visit towns under the aurora's glow than to just drive there themselves.To save time, they decided to use the same SUV as last time and depart after dinner.The journey would take over ten hours, so they would be there around noon. It wouldn't be night, but it was just a couple of hours or more when it was dark as night anyway.Before they left, Charlie spoke to Helena about his travel plans and asked her to take care of Kaeden, Merlin, Hugo, and the others.Helena knew that Charlie was going to take Vera to see the Aurora, though she wasn't sure why he was so doting on a younger girl, even bringing her along when he was working on something so important to him. While things appeared more than what they seemed, Helena simply dismissed it as overthinking since Vera was not even twenty."You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade," she

    After setting their sights on the Kansair Mile, everyone in the data center took the divide and conquer approach.Merlin would continue to train the AI module while using the same parameters to screen through every operation across Africa to look for more Qing Eliminating Society safehouses. After all, he had already determined that hiding their forces needed a big place that was relatively secluded to hide the thousands of dead soldiers and their families.There were also other businesses that fit the bill, such as celebrity franchises, international ventures, and the like. Still, there were things that could be eliminated, like places where accidents happened too much, businesses that tended to be covered in the news 24/7, or organizations monitored closely by the local government.Now, with more than a decade's worth of satellite images from Horizon, they could observe suspicious places and discern any significant differences from the present and the past. As such, locating other

    Thanks to Oskia's complete supply chain, the vending machines' functions were quickly upgraded.Moreover, Charlie's Earthnet didn't need cutting-edge tech—every vending machine just had to fulfill two functions: capturing images and wireless connectivity.Normally speaking, a function like that just needed a security camera that could be connected to WiFi, and then it could directly upload the footage into the data servers. Charlie didn't have to worry about it being intercepted or hacked since the data was simple security footage—it was the AI module that would analyze and apply the data.When the real-time footage from the vending machines was uploaded to the AI ​​database without any deviation, the AI module would be essentially monitoring everyone in the world who appeared before the camera lens at the same time, and it would find any face it was asked to and immediately alert the user.Moreover, the hardware didn't need R&D in Oskia because many manufacturers already offered c
