“What did you say?!” The British Lord’s voice suddenly rose an octave as he asked incredulously, “What’s wrong with him? I asked him to carry out a mission, but he actually lost contact with you?!”Arlo hurriedly said, “British Lord, it might not be Mr. Jothurn who lost contact with us on his own initiative because… because…”The British Lord asked coldly, “What’s the reason? If you hesitate to speak again from now on, you will cut out your tongue yourself!”Arlo trembled with fear and hurriedly said, “British Lord, Troy Nimbleton, the Section Ambassador of Cyprus, cannot be contacted either. We’ve also lost contact with the alternative Section Ambassador that we placed next to him…”After saying that, Arlo continued speaking, “According to normal circumstances, both Troy and the alternative Section Ambassador have to ensure smooth communication twenty-four hours a day. This is the most basic requirement… especially for the alternative Section Ambassador who has a special contact m

The British Lord said, “Hurry up and go to Cyprus. Report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation!”“Understood!”***Half an hour later, a private jet took off from Naples Airport. Arlo set off for Cyprus with a few of his confidants, carrying aerial drones and other equipment with them.After the private jet landed, they followed the same route taken by Brody. They rented a car after they left the airport and drove toward the location of the copper mine. The entire copper mine had been surrounded by official investigators from Cyprus at this moment. They blocked the news as they urgently excavated the site. The purpose of the excavation was to uncover the number of casualties at the copper mine.However, what left the officials from Cyprus puzzled was that even after excavating the soil and building ruins at multiple points in the collapsed area and asking the relevant testing experts to conduct rapid testing on the samples excavated from multiple points, none of

It was not surprising to the command center to find human DNA in a ruin of this size, but it was a little strange to find the artillery shell from a close-defense missile in a place like this. The discovery of the artillery shell meant that this place had been attacked by close-defense missiles.Judging from the range of the close-defense missiles which was less than four kilometers, even if the close-defense missiles were not inside the copper mine, it had to be not far from the copper mine when it fired. It was incomprehensible, regardless of whether the people in the copper mine used close-defense missiles to attack others, or whether people outside used the close-defense missiles to attack the copper mine.One of the adjutants then asked, “Could the copper mine have suffered a terrorist attack?!”This idea gained the approval of most people when it was raised. Over the recent years, terrorist attacks in the Middle East had never ceased. Those extremists had also caused a commo

Since Cyprus had mobilized a large number of personnel and equipment from multiple departments to come and support the scene at the moment, there were various people from different departments integrated at the scene. The military troops responsible for keeping guard were also focused on blocking the media reporters from approaching, so they did not realize that Arlo and the others had already bypassed their defense. When Arlo quietly came to the periphery of the copper mine, he was completely shocked by the sight in front of him. He never expected that this huge copper mine which had taken decades to be completed would now be a ruin that was more than ten meters deep!A large number of excavators were excavating at different points of the ruins at this time, and there were even several drilling machines on site. These drilling machines were constantly drilling underground, trying to bring up the soil components that were hundreds of meters deep underground to see if there were any

The few staff members around the commander were horrified as soon as he said this! Arlo, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, was even more appalled!When he heard this, he connected the events that happened before and immediately guessed the general context of the entire matter. They had long suspected that there was a possibility of a spy in Cyprus, but they had initially thought that the enemy was simply eyeing this place or that the Section Ambassador was colluding with the enemy. Arlo finally realized that this place had long fallen into the complete control of the enemy! If the enemy did not have complete control over this place, how could they have secretly prepared a killer weapon such as a close-defense missile?!The enemy might even have known that Brody was coming, so they had set up a death trap for him here in advance!Arlo combined the clues of Brody’s disappearance along with the human DNA found on the artillery shells at the scene and thus deduced that Brody w

It was indeed mind-boggling to find a military base that did not belong to one’s own country in one’s own country. However, the logic behind the commander’s judgment was extremely reasonable, and the fact that the other party could obtain a heavy weapon such as the close-defense missile proved that the other party was not an ordinary person but was definitely a militant who possessed strong practical combat experience.As a place where militants used close-defense missiles to defend the copper mine, it was very likely that this was indeed a military base. Even if it was not really a military base, this place had to contain huge and unknown secrets!The commander said somewhat nervously, “No, this is a matter of great importance! I must report this matter to the President immediately!” Soon, the commander contacted the President directly. After giving the President a detailed report, he hung up the phone respectfully and then instructed the few people beside him, “Gentleman, the p

Arlo instantly made up his mind never to report the actual situation here to the British Lord! At the very least, he could not tell the British Lord that there were artillery shells and shell casings from close-defense missiles found here. He also could not let the British Lord know that there were traces of a person’s DNA found on the artillery shells from the close-defense missiles and that the DNA probably belonged to Mr. Jothurn. After all, close-defense missiles were a sensitive matter, and the discovery of shell casings within the scope of the copper mine was sufficient to prove to the British Lord that the enemy had long been secretly controlling the dead soldiers’ base under his watch. In that case, it would be a serious dereliction of duty on his part.Coincidentally, the officials from Cyprus were currently planning to conceal the news about the close-defense missiles, and they wanted to fill in the entire collapsed area. This meant that everything that had happened here

Arlo quickly said, “British Lord, I’ve already entered the location of the copper mine to investigate, but the entire copper mine has collapsed from top to bottom, and even the part above the ground of the copper mine has collapsed into ruins. The entire site is completely destroyed, and there is only debris left, so I can’t find any clues at all…”The British Lord asked solemnly, “How could this happen?! Such a huge base is gone just like that?! What about the people inside, then? Have they all been killed?!”Arlo said in fear, “British Lord, I don’t know what happened to the people inside. I was originally hoping for the officials from Cyprus to conduct an official investigation, but they have given out an order for the entire site to be filled in. They are going to make a public announcement that the copper mine has reached the end of its service life and will be abandoned. The place is heavily guarded now, and I’m unable to do anything to continue investigating this matter!”The

Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6602
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6601
Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
