Therefore, they immediately recognized Kathleen as soon as she entered the door.Upon entering the door, Kathleen said very politely to the old man, “Lord Acker, I am Kathleen Fox from the Fox family. I was entrusted by my benefactor to come over to help you this time. My benefactor said that you could call and contact your subordinates to come over for support first, and after determining an absolutely safe place, I will arrange for my men to escort you all the way there.”Kaeden asked in surprise, “Miss Fox, who is this benefactor that you’re talking about?! Is it the benefactor who saved us just now?!”Kathleen nodded and said, “Yes, it’s him.”Having said that, Kathleen then said again, “My benefactor asked me to come over and help deal with the scene and so, I brought my men over here urgently. Now that the outside has already been dealt with, you can also prepare to leave.”Lord Acker asked in a very polite tone, “Young girl, I would like to seize this opportunity to ask...
Ashley’s foresight was unparalleled in the entire Acker family.While designing the plans to build Ark Building, she had spent a lot of money to make the top floor indestructible.The top floor of Ark Building was made out of bulletproof glass of extremely high standards, and the passages and elevator shafts that led to the roof and downstairs were all equipped with physical partitions that were as strong as that of bank vaults. Once all the physical partitions were closed, the entire top floor could be described as impregnable. The impregnable design made it impossible for any individual weapon to enter the top floor from the roof, downstairs, or through the window. No one could enter unless the opponent dared to launch a gunship attack in New York City. Furthermore, Ark Building was located in the center of Manhattan and it was the most prosperous area in the whole of New York, and possibly even in the entire United States. In addition, after the 9/11 incident, the United State
Christian even found that the old man’s palm had been poked, and several points on his palm were already deeply sunken in. Even his skin was broken due to the constant poking, and the ballpoint pen’s ink had penetrated into his skin, forming a mark similar to that of an old tattoo.Although Christian could not see what was written on the palm of his father’s hand, he could also guess that his father must have written something there himself to constantly remind himself of his own words. Just as Christian was feeling distressed, he could not help but quietly lean toward his father’s side. When Lord Acker poked his pam with the ballpoint pen again and peeked at the words on his palm, Christian could clearly see the three sentences written on his palm.“It has been twenty years since Ashley and Curtis have passed away.”“I owe a debt of gratitude to Charlie’s fiancée for her life-saving grace.”“Charlie has not yet returned.”Christian felt a lump in his throat when he saw those th
Christian and Kaeden then took the lead and led the Acker family out of the private room.Charlie heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sounds of their fading footsteps, but at the same time, he also felt a little disappointed. He felt that it might not have been a bad thing to reconcile with his grandparents’ family.It would also be a psychological comfort for the two elderly people.However, when Charlie thought of how no clues had been found regarding his parents’ death and how the enemy might be stronger than he imagined, he felt a little grateful that he had been persistent. After all, he could only develop in a low-key manner if he was in the dark.Otherwise, if he were to draw out the behemoth hidden in the darkest place prematurely, it would likely bring a big disaster to the people around him.As the four elevator doors closed, only Charlie and Claire, who was sleeping on his shoulder, remained in the VIP area.So, Charlie then took back the trace of Reiki that
These cars included the Fox family’s convoy and the Acker family’s convoy. Amongst them, the Acker family took eight cars and quickly drove away from the scene as they headed toward Ark Building.Meanwhile, in Oskiatown, New York.Several police cars drove quickly into Oskiatown and stopped in front of Janus’s roast goose restaurant. More than a dozen New York police officers got out of the car and walked into the roast goose restaurant. The leader of the group was Merlin’s confidant known as Walker. His real name was Mattias Lindt, but since he was the youngest amongst his five siblings at home, his parents and siblings had always referred to him as Walker in an endearing manner. At this time, there were still many customers who were eating in the roast goose restaurant.Mattias startled the diners as soon as he came in.At this time, Mattias put one hand on the pistol at his waist before pointing at his police badge with his other hand as he said to the crowd, “I’m sorry,
The words spoken by Janus sounded like a farewell to Angus.To him, Janus had played the role of his father completely for more than ten years, and he was also the only family member that he had. Therefore, he felt incredibly upset to see Janus getting arrested. However, Janus did not want him to dwell on it too much. Mattias, the police officer, had originally wanted to give him some time to say goodbye to Angus, but Janus simply picked up his suitcase himself and said, “Let’s go, Officer.”Mattias sighed and said, “Okay, let’s go.”Janus then asked him, “Are you going to be using handcuffs?”“No.” Mattias waved his hand and said, “You’re only being suspected of illegal stay, and it is not a felony. We will take you back and conduct a preliminary investigation first. After that, we will take your statement, and the commissioner of the immigration department will come over for a joint investigation. If it is determined that your illegal stay is indeed true, we will begin the repa
He thought of how it was the official opening of Quinn’s concert tour today, and he hurriedly took off his apron and then said to the diners in the restaurant, “I have something to do, so please make yourselves comfortable. Please help me close the door if you are the last one to leave. Thank you!”After saying that, he hurried out of the restaurant and stopped a taxi to head to the concert venue.He also did not know if he would have the opportunity to meet with Quinn if he went to the concert, but right now, this was the only way.***Meanwhile, the Acker family who was being escorted by their own bodyguards as well as Kathleen and Jarvis had arrived safely at Ark Building. After Kathleen sent the Acker family into the building, she said to Lord Acker, “Lord Acker, I will just send you up to here. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything that you need help with.”Lord Acker nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Fox!” Kathleen hurriedly said, “You’re welcome
Tens of thousands of people witnessed Quinn’s first performance for her global tour excitedly at the performance site. The entire performance was almost flawless to the point of perfection, and all of Quinn’s fans were completely immersed in it.Although Claire had missed the opening of the performance, Quinn’s impeccable performance for the next hour or so made her completely forget all of her previous regrets. The performance also ended half an hour later than the expected end time.This was because the fans at the scene insistently requested an encore from Quinn. Quinn returned up on stage five times and sang five songs, but the fans were still not satisfied and continued shouting the slogan ‘encore’!However, it was impossible for the performance to be continued despite the fans’ enthusiasm. Therefore, Quinn bowed deeply before the audience after returning to the stage five times. All the lights in the audience were then turned on immediately, and the staff also made an anno
