At the same time, as soon as the defensive force on the front collapsed, thousands of government soldiers would immediately rush up. At that time, Hamed’s troops would have nowhere to escape. The commanding officer of the first echelon spoke through the intercom system of Ten Thousand Armies, “My team is already ready for battle. I would like the second echelon to confirm their current assembly situation.”The voice of the commanding officer of the second echelon sounded on the intercom system, “Our team has basically finished assembling, and we are currently confirming our equipment before the war.”The commanding officer of the first echelon immediately spoke up, “My team is requesting to launch an attack. I’m asking Commander Carter for approval to do so!”Zayne replied with great enthusiasm, “Approved! Attack immediately! I want you to get rid of all of their soldiers on the front within ten minutes! Avenge our dead brothers!”“Yes!” The commanding officer of the first echelo
“Ambushed?!”Zayne felt a thump in his heart when he heard this, and he asked quickly, “What is going on exactly? What kind of ambush is it?!”The commanding officer was sobbing as he replied, “An explosion! A very powerful explosion! They must have planted a lot of explosives, and the explosion set off a large number of metal fragments. Both my eyes have already been blinded. My legs and my hands are also wounded, but I can no longer identify the extent of my injuries!”“How could that happen?!” Zayne’s heart started throbbing wildly when he heard the other party’s description of the situation.The two echelons that had parachuted in tonight were the strongest soldiers and commanding officers under Zayne’s command. When Zayne heard the news that his own subordinates had already been blinded and that their bodies were all covered in wounds at this moment because of the explosion, Zayne really wanted to jump down and rescue them himself.The background of the intercom system was
This way, the one thousand elites that Zayne had sent over there had already been completely assassinated by the opponent!They were obviously the ones who were going to launch a surprise attack on the opponent. Moreover, all the elites that he had dispatched today were the most suitable for the decapitation mission. Yet, how did more than half of them end up getting killed and injured from the explosion as soon as they had just landed? How did the enemy strategize and come up with all of these arrangements in advance?!Just as Zayne was still feeling extreme self-doubt, Hamed’s soldiers had already begun attacking in full force!Hamed had already divided the entire base into five areas according to Charlie’s instructions. Each area was then in turn divided into dozens of different coordinated locations according to the location of the detonation points. Therefore, the soldiers in each fortification knew which detonation points had exploded according to the coordinates marked on
As soon as Onizuka’s words fell, the sound of fierce gunfire started ringing around him.At this moment, although there were still more than a small number of people who were still alive, almost all of their lives were hanging by a thread. They no longer had even ten percent of their ability left to hold their guns.Moreover, even if they could still hold a gun, their bodies had already suffered considerable damage in the explosion. So, how could they possibly have any large-scale combat effectiveness at this time?Furthermore, even though Hamed’s soldiers were not highly trained, they could still cause highly detrimental damages in a battle.They knew that they were poorly trained and that they lacked in strength, but they also knew that their opponent was now wounded. So, they did not even rush in directly to fight or kill them. Instead, they engaged in various firepower suppression from a distance away. In addition to the intensive bullets, many soldiers with stronger arms als
Even if these paratroopers were all elites of Ten Thousand Armies and they had a very comprehensive and complete set of weaponry, this group of people simply did not have the opportunity to exert and put their advantages to use at all under Charlie’s tactical arrangements.In the face of a powerful explosion, even a torrent of steel would not be able to withstand it, let alone these people made out of flesh and blood.Hamed, who had learned of the total annihilation of the enemy, was extremely thrilled and excited. He personally went to the area where the first echelon of Ten Thousand Armies had died and watched his soldiers clean up the battlefield under the light from the strong flashlight. His heart was overwhelmed with excitement. He had fought two all-conquering and victorious battles one after the other today, and this was the most glorious moment in his life.Just as he was feeling extremely exhilarated, his adjutant came over with the same amount of excitement and report
After experiencing two battles in one day, Hamed’s heart gradually changed from his initial nervousness and anxiety into his current excitement and exuberance. In addition, he also felt some kind of liberal and joyful feeling after going all out with the readiness to risk everything.In his heart, Hamed understood that he had killed two to three thousand mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies twice, thus completely tying the knot with Ten Thousand Armies.Since this matter had already come to this, he might as well stick to the course.So, Hamed had a cold expression on his face as he asked his adjutant, “Has the battlefield been fully cleaned up?”“It’s almost done.” The adjutant spoke up, “We have basically cleaned up all of the weapons and equipment that we can use.”“Good!” Hamed had a cold expression on his face as he said, “Gather and put all these incendiary grenades away in a bunker that is away from the personnel. These weapons should not be carried with you unless it is
The adjutant hurriedly said, “Commander, it would not be appropriate for you to call him so late at night, right? Won’t it affect Mr. Wade’s rest?”Hamed scolded, “I’ve asked you to read more when you have nothing else to do, but you simply chose not to listen to what I’ve said! Oskia and our country are not in the same time zone. It is 3.30 am here, but it is already 8.30 am on his side!”***When Charlie woke up, he was just thinking that Hamed must have experienced another big and tough battle last night.However, he was not worried about Hamed.This was because he knew that Hamed had already arranged more than a hundred detonation points throughout his base. This was already a devilish level of defense.It would be impossible for the enemy to defeat him with this level of defense. Sure enough, after he had just finished eating his breakfast, Hamed’s phone call came.As soon as the call was connected, Hamed said excitedly, “Brother Wade, you’re really insightful! They did i
At the same time, at a cemetery on the outskirts of Eastcliff.Porter, who was wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses, was holding a bunch of white chrysanthemums in his hand as he walked up to a cemetery where a couple was buried together.A dozen young men who were also wearing black clothes were following behind him. There were people of all races amongst these men, all of whom looked extraordinary.Amongst them, the White-Clothed Tiger King, Hunter Lang, who was usually very fond of white clothes, was also dressed in black clothing from head to toe.Porter slowly stood in front of the tombstones, and two streams of tears flowed from behind his sunglasses as he stared at the words and photos on the tombstones. He was stunned for a moment before he knelt on the ground with a thud. After that, he took off his sunglasses, and he choked up as he said with flushed red eyes, “Dad… Mom… Your son is here to see you! Forgive me for being unfilial… I hope that your spirits
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
