Charlie’s words put Merlin in a trance for a moment.He found that both of his previous assumptions were somewhat contradictory at this moment.First of all, if everything was real now, it would be impossible to explain how he could still come back to life after his body had been riddled with bullet holes.Secondly, if everything now was just his own consciousness, it would then be impossible to explain how his brain could survive in that situation at that time.After all, when the body loses its ability to supply blood, the brain would only last for five minutes at most. According to the situation at that time, it would have been impossible for him to have retained his consciousness. Since he could not retain his consciousness, what was going on now, then?When Charlie saw that he was thinking hard, he said lightly, “Let me tell you how you survived.”“After you were shot that day, I used my method to preserve your brain from dying so you could be brought here to be frozen smoot
Charlie smiled and said, “Oh, so you’ve heard of the Rejuvenating Pill. You heard about it from my uncle, right?”“Your uncle...” Merlin was stunned for a moment, then Charlie’s self-introduction when he had just woken up suddenly dawned on him, and he blurted out, “It was indeed Christian who told me about it...”Charlie nodded and asked with a smile, “Since he mentioned the Rejuvenating Pill to you, he must have also mentioned that the organizer kicked him out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill, right?”Merlin’s eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, “How... How did you know that?”“Of course I know.” Charlie said with a smile, “Because just like the Regenerating Pill, the Rejuvenating Pill is also mine. I was the sponsor behind the auction, and I was the one who asked people to kick him out of the auction.”Merlin was appalled and blurted out, “Why did you kick him out when you knew that he is your uncle?”Charlie said indifferently, “When I kicked him out, I didn’t kn
Merlin also felt that it was indeed a little indecent for him to simply sit in this drained pool.So, he asked awkwardly, “Well, are there any clothes that I can change into?”Charlie looked at Kathleen, who was aside, and said, “Miss Fox, can you help solve Chief Lammy’s problem?”Kathleen nodded and hurriedly said, “There are a lot of work clothes for the scientific researchers here. I’ll get a set for Chief Lammy!”Charlie nodded and said, “Okay. Thank you, Miss Fox.”Kathleen turned around and left, and she soon brought back a set of work clothes for Merlin.After Merlin had put on the work clothes, he followed Charlie into the lounge next door. Charlie then handed a bottle of water over to Merlin. After Merlin took it, he could not wait to drink the whole bottle of water, and after wiping his mouth, he could not help but say, “Young Master Wade, thank you for your life-saving grace. I don’t know how to say flattering words, but since you’ve saved my life, I will definitely
Charlie said, “I once heard my father’s old subordinate saying that back then when my parents died, they were besieged by a group of dead soldiers. After they succeeded, all of them bit the poison in their mouths and died on the spot. The method they used is the same as that of the group of dead soldiers that we met at the stadium. Although there is a span of twenty years between the two incidents, considering the fact that the other party is an organization that has lasted for hundreds of years, I think that these two events are probably done by the same organization.”Merlin asked curiously, “Young Master Wade, how did you know that this organization has a history of hundreds of years?” Charlie said, “I caught someone alive and asked him to give me some information about the dead soldiers.”With that said, Charlie then told Merlin all the information that he had gotten from 547 at that time. Merlin was so stunned that he could not speak for a long time after hearing this. He
Merlin was startled when he heard this, and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.He was very familiar with Ten Thousand Armies because of his previous occupation, and he even knew that Ten Thousand Armies had invested a huge amount of money to build its own permanent base in Syria.For a mercenary organization to have a permanent base basically meant that they were ahead of all the other mercenary organizations of the same kind.Mercenaries were more disgusting to law enforcement agencies in various countries than underground forces like Albert.The vast majority of mercenary organizations were considered public enemies who were criticized and shunned in all countries in the world. They could only survive in secret, and they would never dare to show their signboards openly unless the organization could collaborate deeply with the government. Although there were many mercenary organizations in the United States, aside from a few organizations that could collaborat
Charlie nodded and said, “They met me that night and knew that I arranged for someone to take you away, but they probably wouldn’t have expected that you could come back to life. When you meet them, tell them that a mysterious person saved you after giving you a pill. After that, they asked Miss Fox to send you to meet them. As for who the mysterious person really is, tell them you don’t know. They will definitely associate the person who saved you with the person who saved them. Let them guess the rest for themselves.”“Okay, Young Master Wade!” Merlin said seriously, “I’ll take note of that.”Charlie nodded, opened the door, called Kathleen in, and said, “Miss Fox, please arrange a helicopter to take Chief Lammy to Ark Building in Manhattan. It’d be best for you to contact my uncle in advance first. Just tell them that you’d like to visit them. When I saved them that day, you were the one who led the people responsible for the aftermath at the scene, so they definitely will not be
A family trust was an extremely secure means of asset protection in Europe and the United States. There was a saying in Oskia that wealth does not last for three generations. The reason for this was that the fathers were the ones who made the fortunes whereas the children and grandchildren were the ones who lived extravagantly, squander their money, have low vision, and were incompetent in maintaining their businesses which could easily lead to family bankruptcy and overnight reversion to their original form.The reason for this was because the ability and character of the children and grandchildren were not within their control. Once there was a problem with their ability and character, it would be difficult to prevent the family from going into decline. What’s more, there were also various natural disasters in addition to man-made disasters.However, a family trust effectively eliminated the risk of natural and man-made disasters. Putting one’s own money into the trust meant
At this moment, the expressions on Kaeden, Christian, and Keith’s faces changed drastically!Kaeden blurted out, “You met Adrienne the second year after Ashley passed away... Adrienne has been staying hidden by your side for nineteen years until this accident... This group of people who wants to kill us should be inseparable from the person who killed Ashley back then!”Keith said in amazement, “In that case, they were not satisfied with simply killing Ashley and Curtis, and they have carefully planted a time bomb next to Jaxson to be detonated after nineteen years. What exactly are these people planning to do?! Why did they wait so long if they wanted to take out the entire Acker family?” “That’s right...” Christian was also puzzled and said, “They are so strong and powerful, so there is no need for them to wait until today to attack us if they truly have any deep hatred against us...”Keith said, “What I really don’t understand is how much hatred and grudge these people have aga
