  The Rothschilds had already sent their Washington-based lobbyists to the White House.As the family preferred to keep things quiet with whatever they did, their direct associates and publicly acknowledged executives rarely reached out to officials directly. Instead, they had lobbyists they groomed meticulously, who held staff positions in the White House.While they were clerks, assistants, or deputy heads of departments in the building, they had a job in name only. Instead, their main tasks were to facilitate communications between the Rothschilds and any high-ranking official as required, or confer with the president as a spokesperson for the family if necessary.The man spent his weekdays staying in the building on the second floor—his primary residence. Since he was around in the evening, most of the White House staff would work late into the night, including the Rothschilds' lobbyists.Once Steve made his phone call, the lobbyists immediately headed to the president's private

  Despite Charlie's mind trick, Horus frowned at his question and had to think for a long while."Apologies, sir," he eventually replied respectfully. "We are talking about over ten thousand dead soldiers in each base, and every individual who was put through the transition will be cut off completely from their families. "Only the respective governors can possibly reverse the transition. But with almost every department having to work together to regulate the movements, it simply draws too much attention and Lord Griffin would inevitably notice."Knowing that Horus couldn't lie, Charlie was hence convinced that any effort to reverse the transition and reunite thousands of families would cause too many problems, if not downright drawing Fleur's attention.That meant he had to give up on saving all the armed cavalry guards and death soldiers for the time being.On another note, he had no reason to keep prying into the Left Military Governorate's affairs for now. Instead, he would hav

  Charlie smiled and nodded. "I wasn't going to kill you anyway. Keeping you alive works for me."Horus sighed in relief and quickly said, "Don't worry—I'll be your informant from the inside, and inform you right away if the Left Military Governorate makes any moves!"Charlie nodded again and asked, "Are the elders of the Qing Eliminating Society here?"Horus didn't wait to shake his head. "No, they are always elusive and we don't know what happens to them."Charlie chuckled. "Really?"Horus said bluntly, "It's the truth! The absolute truth! Scout's honor!"Charlie pursed his lips in disdain. "There's no need. I have ways to make you tell the truth."Horus's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold flash in Charlie's eyes, but Charlie's Reiki had seized his mind even before he could speak."I'll ask again," he growled icily. "Have your elders come Stateside?!""Yes, the second elder has been touring the country for a while," Horus promptly replied, and much more respectfully th

  Hearing that Horus mistook him for his father, Charlie immediately realized that Horus didn't just meet his father, but likely interacted with him somehow.Hence, he demanded coolly, "You knew my father?"Horus was still caught in a moment of disbelief—a person just appeared and was standing behind him, as if he came out of Biscayne Bay.Still, he was quick on the uptake when Charlie mentioned 'my father'."Y-You're Curtis Wade's son?!" He exclaimed in shock. "That means… You're Charlie Wade! You were alive?!""It seems you know a lot about my family," Charlie chuckled coolly.Horus had no idea how good Charlie was, as he projected his own Reiki to study Charlie but felt nothing in return.However, he didn't dare let down his guard since it was not anyone who could sneak up behind his back… But was it possible for the man to be a superior cultivator?Even as he grew nervous, he smiled to deescalate the confrontation while also preparing to attack. "Your father was just as famou

  Horus smiled and nodded in satisfaction. "No problem! Allow me to thank you at the outset, Mr. Getty!" He was certainly confident about their move because calling Rachel's information an insider tip was an understatement, when the Rothschild ruled America and the international oil market. While everyone else was busy predicting market trends, they moved the market itself. If this tip somehow still failed them, there was really nothing in this world to believe in.With a million tons of crude oil and should price increase by ten percent, that was a profit of over thirty USD per ton even with the premium paid to the Gettys. And with the ready stock waiting in Esteban's warehouse, that was over a hundred million waiting to be made.After finalizing the details with David, Horus left with both Wallis and David escorting him to the pier, after which he got on his two-deck yacht alone.Naturally, Horus wasn't aware that he had a passenger on board, as Charlie had hidden below deck, wh

  Rachel's father David was already waiting in his own house, and was delighted to see Horus.Hurrying over, he shook his hand and beamed, "To what do we owe the pleasure, Mr. Daven? This is unprecedented."Horus smiled in turn. "My board chair sent me to discuss something with you, Mr. Getty… It's about oil, to be specific."David nodded. "That's never a problem. How much shale oil do you intend to sell through us?""No," Horus shook his head as he explained solemnly, "We intend to buy, not sell.""Buy?" David blurted, bemused. "But, why? Your oil company digs for it, and isn't involved in the refining business." Horus smiled as he admitted, "The board chair has his own take when it comes to the ongoing middle-east conflict. With potential escalation, he's interested in stockpiling."That left David perplexed. "But things look like they are calming down recently, with another round of peace talks due to begin soon. With the strait open, crude oil prices are expected to drop—not
