Helena unconsciously showed a bit of envy and despondency in her expression when she heard Charlie mention that he wanted to go back to accompany his wife.She could not help but feel a little ashamed when she thought of what she had just done.However, she also felt thankful from the bottom of her heart that she had not done anything too outrageous earlier. Otherwise, she would have likely botched up and cut off all possibilities with Charlie completely.As Helena thought of this, she nodded very simply even though she was reluctant to let Charlie leave, and she said, “Mr. Wade, we should go downstairs and have lunch first. I’ll arrange for the helicopter to get ready so that we can return to Oslo City after lunch.”“Okay.” Charlie nodded slightly and walked out of the room with Helena.As Charlie was standing beside Helena, he could smell the fragrance from her body again, which was the same as the fragrance he had smelled when he woke up.However, Charlie still decided to play
This humanitarian organization was also rather well-known in Sweden as well as globally. They were apparently a non-profit humanitarian charity organization on the surface, but in truth, its real background was that it was part of this mysterious organization that Charlie was investigating with its roots planted in Sweden and even the whole of central Northern Europe.This humanitarian organization usually organized charitable activities actively, calling on people to pay attention to third-world countries, environmental protection, and also global warming, but once this organization had a need, it could respond quickly and immediately in central and Northern Europe, covering the four countries of Northern Europe, Latvia, and Lithuania, which were all across the sea from Sweden. Unlike other espionage and non-governmental organizations which were extremely low-key, this humanitarian organization had an unusually high-profile style of conducting their work. Not only did it often use
Meanwhile, in the parking lot outside the cargo area of Gothenburg International Airport. The head of the humanitarian organization was waiting anxiously as he sat on the passenger side of a truck.A total of three truckloads of supplies were to be transported to Nigeria this time.According to the original schedule, the Armed Calvary Guards should have delivered the people to the airport in a special transport vehicle by now. They would have then brought them into the airport together before urging customs to release the target people on the plane quickly. In order to ensure that the people could be sent through customs smoothly this time, the person in charge of the humanitarian organization had specially called the once world-renowned environmental protection young girl, who was their trump card, as the person in charge prepared to take her along with him to ensure the mission could be completed successfully. However, they had not received any information about the Armed Cal
The young girl interrupted him directly and said coldly, “What I’m passionate about is environmental protection, not charity. This kind of activity itself is not the kind of activity I like. I can still have more patience if you ask me to protest against Asians using chopsticks, against Europeans flying planes, or against Americans driving cars.”With that said, the young girl then said arrogantly, “What’s more, who else will pay attention to things such as helping Nigeria aside from Nigerians? I might as well go to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to organize protests instead. My father said the media all over the world will pay attention to the news of the United Nations and developed countries, whereas news of third world countries such as Nigeria will never make the headlines in the Western world.”The driver was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he also felt extremely annoyed.However, since this matter was of great importance, he could only say patiently, “The ch
After putting on the real-time transmission camera, the man in the driver seat of the Volvo pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.After confirming that no people or vehicles were passing by, he used a lock-picking tool to skillfully pry the door open.In truth, in addition to the ordinary door locks, there were hidden latches that were concealed above and below the frame and a whole control system set that had been upgraded for the door lock in the house that Vera lived in. Under normal circumstances, Vera would use her cell phone to lock the hidden latch whether she was sleeping or going out. Even the best locksmith could not break this kind of door lock that could only be unlocked through the internet. However, when Vera and her personal servant had evacuated this time, they had intentionally left the hidden latch unlocked to make it easy for this person to slip into the room.At the same time, in a certain corner of the world, the British Lord of this mysterious or
Although the smiley face was simple, it was very vivid, and there was even a bit of contempt that could be seen in the smile. Just as he was immersed in the impeccability of this sentence, the deep and low voice that had been altered suddenly sounded over the earphone. He seemed to be very angry as he roared, “Damn it, Vera Lavor! Damn it! Damn it!!!”After that, he roared furiously, “Blow it up for me!”The man was a little surprised and subconsciously asked, “Blow it up? Blow what up?”Just after he had finished speaking, the portable camera hanging on the front of his left chest suddenly exploded violently!The impact of the high explosives shattered the entire desk into pieces with a bang! The calligraphy written on the rice paper was also instantly burned to ashes by the high temperature generated by the explosion.As for the man who had come to investigate, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart before he could even figure out what was going on. He then flew backward a
Vera’s servant could not help but feel a little more admiration for her when he saw that she was so calm. Vera then asked him, “By the way, how long is the journey to Vladivostok?” Her servant replied, “Miss, we are taking the Arctic Ocean route, so it will take about twenty-five days based on the speed of this ship.”“It’s too slow.” Vera said lightly, “I’m going to disembark in Murmansk and take a plane to Eastcliff.” Having said that, she asked her servant, “Can I get to Murmansk in four days?”Her servant hurriedly said, “Yes, we should be able to get there by then, but Miss, are you in such a hurry to go to Oskia?”“Yes!” Vera nodded with certainty and said seriously, “I can’t wait to find Charlie Wade as soon as possible. This person must have a lot of fun and interesting secrets.”After saying that, Vera pulled the progress bar and went back to the moment when Charlie had appeared in her study room. She looked at Charlie in the picture and muttered curiously, “Tell me,
“There are very few people who possess Reiki. If Charlie reveals his strength one day, the other party will lock onto him immediately, which will cause him a lot of trouble then.”Her servant could not help but sigh. “He is so strong, so why didn’t he think of this?”Vera smiled and said, “Strength is strength, but he probably does not have sufficient experience in real combat. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to slip through his fingers either.”***Meanwhile, in Gothenburg, Sweden.Since they had already obtained the video data of the scene in Bergen and seen the sentence written by Vera herself, the mysterious organization immediately realized that this mission had failed completely and that Vera must have escaped long ago.Although the British Lord was furious, he could only give the order to give an early end to this mission that had failed completely.So, the head of the convoy who was waiting for the Armed Calvary Guards outside the entrance of Gothenburg Internationa
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
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
