“Okay, Mr. Wade!” Porter brought Charlie to a windowless conference room immediately and instructed someone to invite Merlin and 547 over first.Merlin did not expect Charlie to come to Syria and asked in surprise, “Young Master Wade, why did you come here in person?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Chief Lammy, I just came over from Northern Europe, and I brought some other members of the mysterious organization over. There are more people this time, and they are not dead soldiers. They are one level higher than dead soldiers.”“Not dead soldiers?” Merlin asked in surprise, “What level is that? What are they responsible for in the organization?”Charlie explained, “They are called the Armed Calvary Guards internally, and they are responsible for guarding the dead soldiers.”When 547, who was sitting in a wheelchair, heard this, he said in amazement, “The Armed Calvary Guards? Is it the Armed Calvary Guards who are in charge of watching over us?!”Charlie shook his head and sa
Ever since he had come back from Mexico, Porter had been dreaming of charging into battle and killing the enemy for Charlie. Therefore, upon hearing Charlie say that he had discovered the exact address of the station of the mysterious organization, he could not wait to wipe out this station for Charlie!Nevertheless, Charlie waved his hand at this time and said seriously, “A copper mine guarded by hundreds of members of the Armed Calvary Guards may have a very strong defense, not to mention the intricate underground fortifications. If you go in rashly, you will definitely get caught by the other party. In this case, it’s almost impossible for us to wipe out the opponent without revealing any clues. There are also thousands of dead soldiers and relatives of the dead soldiers inside. These dead soldiers could be a big hidden danger when things are unknown.”547 who was aside also nodded and said, “Mr. Wade is right. The dead soldiers and their relatives have to take the antidote give
For these members of the Armed Calvary Guards, the poison in their bodies was a shackle that imprisoned them for life and could never be broken.However, it only took a little Reiki for Charlie to remove the poison from their bodies completely. Therefore, Charlie had already used Reiki to remove the poison from their bodies one by one when he patted their shoulders just now.When the seven people heard Charlie say that the poison in their bodies had been dealt with, they were all surprised at first. They then closed their eyes and examined their bodies carefully. Sure enough, the power that had been gathered in their elixir field before this was now gone!The poison in their bodies was not an ordinary highly toxic substance, but it was an energy that could not be controlled by their bodies. The energy in their bodies was like a time bomb with a seven-day cycle. Once the seven days were up, this energy would destroy their meridians and internal organs completely. The so-called an
Charlie nodded. “Go ahead and ask, then.”“Okay.” Merlin picked up his notepad immediately. Merlin had already listed out the questions he wanted to know during the course of Charlie’s conversation with the few people just now. The first few questions were actually the questions that Charlie had already asked when he was in Bergen in Northern Europe. These questions were in relation to their identity, intelligence, the location of their quarters, and also some specific information about their living quarters. These seven people naturally told him everything they knew in one go.Merlin listened carefully, and after they had finished explaining the basic information, he asked, “What is the organizational structure of the Armed Calvary Guards in Cyprus?”The leader explained, “There are two hundred and seventy-one members of the Armed Calvary Guards that are divided into three banners, namely, left, center, and right, with ninety people in each banner. Each banner is divided into
The man thought for a moment and said, “We only received the temporary mission a few hours before departure. The Section Ambassador gave the commander the picture of eight men from Northern Europe, and the commander then selected the seven of us based on the physical characteristics of the eight men in the photos. After putting on make-up at the copper mine, he led the team and took the plane to Bergen.”Merlin suddenly felt that this matter was a little tricky.He said to Charlie, “Young Master Wade, the structure of this organization is strict, and the isolation of information between each layer is very good. Even the inside information that the Armed Calvary Guards know is limited to their base as well as some business that is hidden from the public, but they basically do not know anything else. So, if you want deeper information, you’ll have to find the Section Ambassador.”Charlie nodded and said again, “The Section Ambassador may not know much valuable information either.”Me
Charlie’s words left the seven members of the Armed Calvary Guards as well as 547, who was sitting on the other side, dumbfounded!They did not know why Charlie would suddenly ask such a question, but the expressions of these eight people were suddenly somewhat excited at this time.547 was the first to speak. He clenched his fists and said sternly, “Mr. Wade, if it’s as you’ve said, the dead soldiers would definitely organize themselves to break free! We want to die under the sunlight even if we die!”The leader of the Armed Calvary Guards also subconsciously said, “That’s right, Mr. Wade. If this happens, the Armed Calvary Guards would definitely seize the opportunity to fight to the death!”547 sighed and said, “For all the dead soldiers, the shackles that the organization has on us are mainly the poison in our bodies and our family members. Once the issue of the poison is solved, the dead soldiers would be able to use their own strength to defend the safety of their relatives,
“After we finish taking the antidote under the supervision of the personal guards of the Section Ambassador, we also have to work with them to distribute the antidote to the dead soldiers and their families. The overall process is basically the same. The dead soldiers and their relatives must also finish taking the antidote under our supervision so that the whole process of taking the antidote at one time is considered complete.”Merlin, who was aside, could not help but ask, “I have a question for you. Since you can only live for seven days without the antidote, why do they still have to supervise you to take the antidote? Would there be anyone who would deliberately refuse to take the antidote given to them?”The man smiled wryly and said, “Both we and the dead soldiers have always thought about resisting. Although we obviously know that we have no ability to fight against the entire organization, we still have some fluke mentality. Therefore, there has been an incident where many
Using reiki to brainwash a person was Charlie’s tried and tested method.If he could brainwash the Section Ambassador of Cyprus and make him his own puppet, he would be able to seize the opportunity to detoxify the bodies of all the dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards. He would then be able to get these dead soldiers and the members of the Armed Calvary Guards to join his command while asking them to remain in the base in Cyprus with the Section Ambassador, who was already his puppet, to continue acting as if everything was normal in front of the organization.This way, not only would one of their bases be disintegrated, but they could even place spies under their noses. Once the organization assigned a mission to Cyprus, they would know about it immediately.As Charlie thought about this, he asked them, “If these dead soldiers and members of the Armed Calvary Guards are really so eager to break the shackles that the organization has over them, I swear that I w
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
