Chapter 1109
Author: Lord Leaf
After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie’s house.

The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request.

Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming.

People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities.

Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings.

However, daffodils were not edible.

Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.

Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid.

When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately

    At this moment, Fleur was in seclusion in her personal residence at the deepest point of her Antarctic island, over three hundred meters below sea level.Fleur had chosen to establish the Qing Eliminating Society's base in such a remote location for isolation and security, not to mention that the environment was more suitable for cultivation.Over the recent years, Fleur had rarely spent her time in extended seclusions, each lasting from a few days to several months—unlike the three elders, who remained in seclusion for years.Still, the reason Fleur avoided extended retreats wasn't because she was paranoid about a coup in the Qing Eliminating Society. It was simply the fact that she was aging, and therefore, it was actually becoming increasingly difficult for her to concentrate on her cultivation. Eighty percent of her five hundred years had already passed, and she still hadn't found the recipe for the Infinite Pill. While it might seem like she had another hundred years left, it

    Therefore, it was only natural for Arlo to call Tarlon 'Gramps'.Upon hearing about the situation, Tarlon immediately demanded, "Has the mysterious foe struck again? Shouldn't he have attacked Nigeria instead?!""No!" Arlo cried, utterly aggrieved. "The mysterious foe must have seen through our plan. That’s why he never came to Nigeria, even after all this time. Although the three elders are in seclusion, they take turns using Reiki to survey the surrounding area almost every hour, and they have never noticed the presence of any cultivators. And just now, I was called about our dead soldier base in Morocco… It was destroyed, and even Penny's whereabouts are unknown..."Tarlon exclaimed, "What?! Penny Singer was there, too?! Why?! Shouldn't she be in your base?!"Arlo explained, "I just thought she should gain some experience and see the world… It was just a formality at best, but I didn't expect something like this..."Tarlon paced anxiously around the room, immediately angry and

    Meanwhile, back at the burning Duca Mines.Marvin was stunned for a solid three seconds when he received the order from Reuben to go into the burning mines and find Praetor Singer.Gazing at the raging inferno, he muttered, "How the hell do we even get in?"Even as he finished, the massive steel frame of the refinery, melting under heat and pressure, collapsed with a resounding metallic groan. The inferno inside seemed stifled for a moment, but the flames soon rocketed up in the air, higher than the height of the refinery itself.After hesitating for several seconds, Marvin sighed and sent a video in reply. "Sir, it's not that I don't want to go in, but I can't even get close to those flames!"Naturally, his report was swiftly relayed to Arlo, who had no choice but to agree that charging in was foolish as he watched the video.Not even the fires in a crematorium furnace could match the level of searing heat in Duca Mines' inferno. Now, the most pressing task was for him to repo

    However, Marvin couldn't do anything after Reuben had given him explicit orders. All he could do was urge the driver to send him the dashcam video along with the videos he had recorded from his own phone, sending everything to Reuben.Reuben didn't immediately contact Arlo as he had said, however.He wasn't at the scene and hadn't seen what had truly happened, so he was waiting to confirm that there was indeed a grave situation before actually reporting to Arlo.And soon, two videos of the scene arrived on his phone, and he was overwhelmed once he watched both, as he never expected it to be that horrific.Judging by the extent of the damage, the entire mining zone must be completely destroyed.The destruction of the dead soldiers' base was already a severe loss. Even then, the more pressing question was whether the armed cavalry guards and the dead soldiers had defected, as theorized when the Cyprus base had turned out empty.So, he called Arlo without another moment's delay, whi

    While Marvin was stunned that the huge refinery and mining area would suddenly erupt into a sea of flames, he also knew that something this important had to be reported to the higher-ups right away.That was when the heavy machinery ignited and exploded as well, the force of each detonating fuel tank sending everything hurtling up in the skies, while the entire Duca Mines flared like a colossal display of fireworks.Even as the deafening rumble of further explosions resounded, Marvin filmed everything while avoiding the falling debris. He then promptly called his superior, the deputy governor supervising all special envoys to garrisons. The deputy governor was at the Right Military Governor's office, watching a screen that monitored the progress of the Transition.The various garrisons of the Right Army Governor's Office were marked on the map in bright dots. Above each dot were two arrows, one pointed toward it, and one pointing to another dot.Naturally, the dots represented ea

    The driver quickly pointed out, "Could it be because of the Transition? It's only natural that they had to pause to send off their comrades while waiting for the fresh faces to arrive. With all the adjustments necessary, a pause would simply facilitate the Transition much better.""That's true," Marvin sighed. "And I guess the Transition can be a sensitive period for the armed cavalry guards, if not a bit cruel. I mean, I've worked with Roy for years, and we get along pretty well. I wouldn't mind saying that the sudden change in hierarchy annoys me too, but all we can do is pray that we don't get Transitioned too."One of the men in the back seat asked nervously, "Sir, are you saying it could happen to us?""How should I know?" Marvin sighed in exasperation. "I will only find out if we're getting Transitioned too. Otherwise, there won't be a peep. And if it ever happens to us, we have no choice but to follow orders."The man appeared mournful right then. "My son isn't even a year o
