LOGINHowever, that also presented a great opportunity for Charlie,Still, he frowned. "With the unrest in the Middle East, crude oil prices had been inflating terribly. If I were the Left Military Governorate, I'd want to sell my stockpile since this is the best time to do it." Then, turning to Rachel, he said, "I'll have our boy here try to manipulate crude oil prices, create a short-term surge. If everything proceeds as planned, the Left Military Governorate will definitely seize the opportunity to sell their stockpile. While they do, you can take Rob to Miami to meet your parents—contact me right away if the Left Military Governorate sends anyone."Rachel looked nervous at the idea. "But if I do and the Qing Eliminating Society finds out that we were conspiring, my family and I will be eliminated…"Charlie held her gaze as he shot back, "And do you think you'll live if you refuse to work with me?"Flustered, Rachel shook her head. "N-No, sir, let me rephrase. I'm concerned that onc
Vera's feelings on the Five Military Governorates turned out to be correct.Even if they were Griffins, they were like five children of a king, each assigned significant fiefs and subjects, while also being more loyal than the king's men.In feudal times, rarely were there loyal princes, just as the princes were only ever fiercely competitive against one another. With their father's death being the one chance for them to rise to claim ultimate power, it was no different from the situation in the Rothschilds, with Julien being clearly less loyal to his father Harrison than Harrison's key executives to Harrison. They depended on his father for their livelihood, while Julien hoped for Harrison to step down sooner.That was exactly how things worked between the Five Military Governorates and Fleur worked too, especially since she now had less than a hundred years to live.Now, the question they must all consider was what would happen after she died.There were two really likely scenar
Fleur's name had always been top secret, and most of the Qing Eliminating Society didn't even know her gender. She used a voice changer when issuing direct orders, and Rachel herself only knew because her maternal grandmother happened to have personal connections to the Griffin branch in charge of the Left Military Governorate. It was a tale as old as time—people talking in their sleep.Still, that was how Rachel knew, and if not for that, she wouldn't even know who Charlie was talking about.And seeing Rachel's shock, Charlie said, "Calm down. I had never met her myself, but I am aware she lived four hundred years strong and founded the Qing Eliminating Society, while also being the de facto leader.Rachel's heart was pounding as she looked at Charlie. "S-Sir… I think you know more about the Qing Eliminating Society more than I do…"Charlie shook his head. "There's no reason to be so humble. I only know about Fleur and his roots, but I know jack when it comes to the Left Militar
Rachel was well aware that the Qing Eliminating Society tracked its own name on all internet databases.If Charlie really decided to leak as he threatened, her family would be culled.Still, she also quickly realized that she had value—otherwise, Charlie wouldn't wait until after Julien and Rob left to reveal himself.That was about the single silver lining in all the gloom, but at least it meant her family's death was a possibility rather than inevitable.After all, if they hid well after betraying the Qing Eliminating Society, they might not get killed right away. But if their covers were blown, death would come swift and sure.Even if she tried to send a distress call to the Left Military Governorate that her cover was blown and to request assistance—even declaring her loyalty, the Left Military Governorate would only come bearing death.And then everyone who knew about her would be wiped out, along with her entire family.That was why at that very moment, Rachel made up her
In the end, Rachel was still a young woman in her twenties—her training could at best prepare her against the fear of death.However, Charlie wasn't threatening her with her death, but also the deaths of her entire maternal line.And this wasn't without a president, as all Scholars were notified of the death of the Scholars who were embedded amongst the Ackers. As soon as their cover was blown, everyone in their lineage was wiped out by the Qing Eliminating Society—even their children.That same fate was what awaited if Rachel's cover was blown too!Her tears flowing and her body shaking, she stared at Charlie in fear as she stammered, "W-What must I do? So that my family might live?"Even now, she was undoubtedly smart and doing the right thing—her mind was still clear despite the terror shaking her to the core.She still had no idea who Charlie was, but she must be of value since he was revealing himself. After all, he could just blow her cover with a post on social media—mos
As soon as Julien and Rob left the private room, Rachel—speaking fluent Oskian—promptly asked Vera very enthusiastically, "Which discipline at Stanford interests you, Anna? We can exchange numbers, so you can call me up anytime!"With extensive training, Rachel was basically a master socialite. Even if she had no idea who Charlie and Vera were, she could see that getting on their good graces would benefit her greatly.Naturally, she picked Vera, as Charlie had said that Vera was the one who would enroll at Stanford, while he claimed to be her brother. Rachel didn't doubt that, and she could foresee that if she befriended Vera when she arrived, her chances of marrying into the Rothschild family would further improve.And seeing that Rachel was already working on her, Vera smiled and turned to Charlie. "It's still up to my brother whether I enroll."Charlie had said he would be direct with Rachel, so Vera simply let him take the reins on this one.Rachel was not aware of that, but q
Even though she had no tears, Elaine really felt like crying when she heard this.However, in order to maintain her status as the top amongst the noblewomen, she could only clench her teeth and bear with it.After all, she thought to herself, ‘I cannot argue with this salesgirl for the arrival time of

Charlie’s first reaction was to be surprised when he saw Marianne’s slender figure as she stood not far away.Immediately afterward, he looked at Kathleen and asked in confusion, “What’s going on here, Miss Fox?”Before Marianne could reach them, Kathleen smiled slightly and said in a low voice, “I in
Meanwhile, Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna had also arrived at Hong Kong Airport. The convoy stopped outside the arrival hall of Hong Kong Airport, and Shawn then said to Charlie excitedly, “Mr. Wade, Miss Fox should be arriving soon, right?”Charlie looked at the time and said indifferently, “Almost.
