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
Porter seemed to have sensed something at this time, and he spoke in a cold voice, “What’s the matter? Just say it!”Hunter was a little shocked and horrified. However, he quickly calmed himself down as he stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Lord, the Green-Eyed Wolf King sent a battle report, and he said that the one thousand elites that he had sent out were all ambushed by the enemy after parachuting and landing in Hamed’s base. All one thousand men were completely wiped out!”“What?!” Porter quickly stood up, turned around, and grabbed Hunter by his collar as he asked angrily, “One thousand elites from Ten Thousand Armies who took the initiative to launch a surprise attack on those stragglers and disbanded soldiers were all completely wiped out? Are you kidding me?!”Hunter, who had been grabbed at his neck, could not move at all, and he spoke up with much difficulty, “Lord… Lord… Everything that I’ve said… was all… was all written in the text message that the Green-Eyed Wo
Although Porter, who had always been very strong, was extremely angry, at this moment, he knew very well that he could not leave Oskia before the Tomb Sweeping Festival. Otherwise, if anything were to happen and delay his plan to take revenge, how could he possibly face his parents who had died tragically so many years ago?Therefore, Porter could only continue pinning his hopes on Zayne.However, Porter also knew that Zayne might not have any other ways to reduce the number of casualties while dealing with the other party directly. Therefore, Porter had givenZayne his own solution in order to prevent Zayne from taking the wrong path again. “Since that b*stard, Hamed, has built his own base into an iron barrel, we will just surround him completely so that they will be completely isolated and helpless while they await their own doom!”A siege was actually a very cruel tactic. As long as the besieging party had sufficient troops to block off everything and have a steady and consta
Therefore, a large number of stragglers came to seek refuge with Hamed just after dawn in Syria.Immediately after that, several leaders of smaller opposition forces also brought their teams with them to seek refuge with Hamed.The vast majority of these people were worried that they would be wiped out soon. So, after seeing Hamed’s powerful strength, they decided to come and seek refuge with him in exchange for a chance to save their own lives.So, after only half a day, Hamed had accepted more than five thousand men into his base.Two days later, Hamed had already accepted more than eight thousand men into his base, and the total number of people in his base had already exceeded ten thousand men. His entire base was instantly overcrowded with people.Hamed carried out Charlie’s instructions resolutely, and regardless of whether it was a small team of ten men or a large team of one thousand men, as long as they came to rely on him, that team would have to be broken up before bein
What Hamed was worried about was that once his base was besieged by the other party, it would be very difficult for him to send Sheldon out.Hamed also knew very well that Sheldon was very important to Charlie, and that Charlie also wanted to bring Sheldon back to his country in a few days. Although Hamed was not sure why Charlie wanted to bring Sheldon back, Hamed could feel that Charlie really attached great importance to this matter. When Charlie heard about Hamed’s worry, he said, “You don’t have to worry about this matter for the time being. Now that they have already surrounded and blocked you completely, it would not be realistic for you to send Sheldon Schulz out now. So, it would be better for you to remain steadfast and do a good job of maintaining and building up your defenses first. If there is really no good opportunity when the time comes, I’ll go over there personally and find a way to bring Sheldon Schulz back.”Charlie had two goals for the Wade family’s ancestor w
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
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
