Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and called his subordinate again. “Did you find any other surveillance probes? It’s better if you can get footage of the other side.”His subordinate answered, “No, this is the only surveillance video that can capture the restaurant’s entrance.”Merlin cursed, furious. “F*ck! I’ve already suggested to the mayor to allocate funds to set up a surveillance system in New York, but he’s reluctant to approve it. Just look at Oskia. Their surveillance coverage rate in first-tier cities has already exceeded ninety-five percent! Look at New York! It wasn’t until last year that all the subway stations were covered in surveillance!”The subordinate felt helpless. “Sir, even if we have a surveillance system, it’ll be useless. Even if we installed one hundred thousand surveillance cameras, half of it will be smashed by thugs the next day, and the remaining half will probably be demolished by homeless vagrants in exchange for cigarettes and hamburgers…”Merlin s

Merlin sensed that the young man must’ve been harboring some secrets. He could be crazy or strong, but even so, he still needed enough confidence. Merlin wondered why and how that young man gained the confidence to confront Xavion.To Merlin, this young man might be the breakthrough he needed for this case.Now, Merlin had a new worry. He didn’t know how to get in touch with that young man. If he approached the man without any justifiable reasons, the man would doubt his motives.When smart people sensed something was wrong, they would immediately take countermeasures and keep their guard up. If that happened, Merlin wouldn’t be able to find any breakthrough to help him with the case. While he was troubled over this matter, Christian suddenly called. Merlin didn’t hesitate to answer.On the other side, Christian cut to the chase and asked, “Lammy, do you have any new findings?”Christian didn’t sleep much last night as well. He simply couldn’t understand how and where Quinn got

Merlin said, “If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn’t she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs.”Then, he added, “Also, she didn’t leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”“That’s…” Christian couldn’t answer. Finally, he surmised, “Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?”Merlin sighed. “Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”Christian urged, “Okay, then don’t overthink anymore. I’ve just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.” Merlin laughed. “Turn the tide… I don’t think anyone can fix thi

Merlin was furious to hear his subordinate’s report. He didn’t expect to find so many corpses in New York not long after Homer and Finley’s death. To make matters worse, each of them was an influential figure.Merlin demanded, “Did forensics go too?”The subordinate answered, “Yes, they went. Even the FBI got the news and sent someone for investigation.”With a sullen face, Merlin asked grimly, “When did they die?”“Last night,” the subordinate answered immediately. “Forensics reported that they died less than eight hours ago.”“D*mn it!” Merlin roared. “The perpetrators are definitely the same people who killed Homer and Finley…”Then, he immediately ordered, “Hurry and tell them to transfer all the corpses to the morgue of the autopsy center. Don’t let any media get close, or accept any interview by the media! If anyone dares to leak out any information to the media and I catch him, I won’t spare him!”The subordinate responded in an instant. “I’ll pass the message at once!”

With a long sigh, Merlin said helplessly, “But… The impact this incident will have on the New York police will be terrible. If we announce it now, it’ll make headlines immediately. The mayor and councilors will call us in less than minutes. I wouldn’t know how to deal with it…”He added, “I know it’s impossible to hide this kind of thing. For now, I’ll have to leave the police station first. If any scandals are exposed later on, the director can explain them to the media. I’ll take this opportunity to hide. I’m retiring soon, and I can’t become a public enemy of the whole nation before I retire.” Christian replied, “That makes sense. It’d be good if you can avoid this scandal. Well, stay safe and contact me if there’s anything.”“Right.” Merlin hung up and hurriedly packed his things before hurrying out of the building. As soon as he got into the car and was about to make his way to the Fox family manor, he received a push notification from the world’s largest video platform.The

After hanging up, Merlin immediately barked at his subordinate, “Don’t go to the autopsy center anymore. Go to the Fox Group!”The subordinate asked, “Sir, why are you going to the Fox Group? They’re holding a press conference soon. Almost all the media in New York is there. If you go at this time, won’t you…”The subordinate stammered, hesitating. He was unable to finish his sentence. Merlin demanded coldly, “Won’t I what? Finish your words!”The subordinate mustered his courage and said honestly, “Won’t you… Walk right into the trap?”Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and roared, “F*ck you! I’m a policeman, not a murderer! How am I walking right into a trap?”The subordinate panicked and said anxiously, “But… The media are all waiting to interview you…”Merlin knew all too well that his subordinate was right. So many major cases happened overnight in New York, and all of them had a connection to the deaths of countless innocent women. Naturally, the reporters in New York woul

As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav

Kathleen’s loud and clear words sent the hall bursting into an uproar. Nobody expected that the Fox family would have a new chairman at such a critical moment.Most surprising of all was the fact that the new chairman was a woman. In the United States, the serious problem of patriarchal ideology was still prevalent in big families. There were many wealthy families in the United States with a net worth of more than ten billion or more. However, almost none would give the leadership position to a woman. Not only that, but Kathleen was still very young. Spencer, the previous head of the family, and Jordan, the head of the family before Spencer stood behind Kathleen in a line. Apparently, the young Kathleen wasn’t joking. With her two predecessors standing for her, it must be true that she was the leader of the Fox family’s new generation.Everyone was shocked.They simply couldn’t understand. Why would the Fox family make such a decision? It might be necessary to find someone to ta

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6608
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
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
