Chapter 14
Author: Lord Leaf
Jane was taken aback by such an extravagant appearance, wondering to herself if these guys were here for him.

She dismissed that thought very quickly!

Impossible! The poor loser wouldn’t know anyone so powerful.

Stephen got out from the third car and strode into Emerald Court. Jane quickly got up to greet him, but he ignored her completely and went straight to Charlie.

“Young Master, I’m here with the money.”

Then, Stephen gestured with his hand. The studly bodyguards walked into the store, placed the suitcase on the floor, and opened it.

It was full of cash to the brink!

Everyone gaped in extreme shock!

D*mn it!

The loser…oh no! What the guy had said was actually true!

Oh d*mn! Who was he!

Many people took their phones out, trying to take a picture or record a video. They wouldn’t want to miss such a shocking scene.

Stephen’s bodyguards immediately cleared the scene and pushed them out of the store. All they managed to snap was the back of Charlie’s head.

Charlie pointed to the cash and said to Jane, “You said that you’ve never seen so much cash before, didn’t you? Take a good look at it now.”

In a shocked daze, Jane mumbled with vigorous nodding, “Yes, I see it, I see it now…”

Charlie said to Stephen, “I want to see the manager of this store.”

Stephen nodded, took out his phone, searched through his contact list, and made the call.

As soon as his call was answered, he shouted, “B*stard, I am Stephen Thompson! I’m now at Emerald Court. I’ll give you one minute to get here now, or I’ll have someone burn down the store and then break your legs!”

Blood drained from Jane’s face, her eyes filled with horror when she looked at Stephen.

Who was this guy? Was he that powerful?

Her boss was a man of substance in Aurous Hill and he was also very well connected in the ‘organized’ group. Everyone treated him with great respect and honor! She couldn’t believe that there were people who dared to talk to him like that!

It had not even been a minute when a middle-age obese man came running from the office behind the store. He sprinted as soon as he saw Stephen and said, “Mr. Thompson, it’s such an honor to have you visit my shop. Why didn’t you let me know earlier, I could’ve come to greet you.”

Stephen hurled his hand across the man’s face, slapping him, and growled furiously, “You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you? Your staff even dared to mistreat our young master like this. Are you getting tired of breathing?”

Stephen knew that the young master had undergone a miserable life in the past decade, so he was extremely agitated when a lowly staff member treated him so poorly.

The chubby man was a little aggrieved when he was slapped hard on his face, but when he heard Stephen’s remark, he recoiled in shock.

Stephen Thompson’s young master? Oh goodness, if Stephen’s existence was already like a dragon in the mortal world, his young master would be the god from the sky then!

His body trembled in fear. He turned his head to look at Charlie, who stood next to Stephen. The young lad looked like an ordinary being, but he was Stephen Thompson’s young master!

The chubby man crawled to his knees and said, “Young…Young Master, I’m really sorry, please accept my apology.”

He then turned his furious gaze at his staff and shouted, “Which ignorant b*stard offended the young master? Show yourself!”

All the sales personnel shifted their glances at Jane instantly.

Jane wanted to retreat, but the chubby man jumped at her, grabbed her collar, and slapped her face while cursing, “You ignorant b*tch, how dare you offend our young master! You’re blind and stupid!”

Jane crouched on the floor after the slap and wailed, “Boss, I’m sorry. Yes, yes, I’m blind and stupid, please forgive me, please!”

“Forgive you?” The chubby man grabbed her hair, pulled her face up, and punched her in the face with his giant fist.

With one punch after another, blood started oozing from her face.

“D*mn it you b*tch! You want to drag me to hell, don’t you? Before you kill me, I’ll kill you first!”

Several teeth were knocked out of Jane’s mouth, the nose bridge that she had spent a fortune on plastic surgery for was broken, and her face was literally covered in blood.

She struggled and managed to break free from the chubby man. She crawled towards Charlie, grabbed his leg, and cried, “Young Master, I’m so sorry. I won’t do it again, I won’t judge people as I had done ever again. Please, please forgive me.”

Charlie glared at her coldly and uttered, “Serves you right!”

The chubby man gaped in shock when he saw her grabbing Charlie’s leg. He quickly ran over and stomped on her head, and shouted, “How dare you touch the young master’s leg! I’ll kill you!”

With the stomp, Jane fainted and became unconscious.

The man called for the guards at the door, “Throw this b*tch into the garbage dump in the back alley!”

“Okay, boss!” The guards immediately picked the bloody Jane up and took her out of the store.

Charlie looked blankly at the chubby man and said, “My wife likes this jade necklace. Wrap it up.”

The chubby man nodded vigorously and said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away!”

Charlie retrieved the black card and said, “Swipe this card.” Then, he turned to Stephen and said, “You can take back the cash now.”

The chubby man quickly interjected, “Young Master, since you like the jade necklace, just take it, it’s on the house!”

Charlie muttered, “I don’t need you to give it to me for free.”

The chubby man said timidly, “Young Master, please accept it as a token of gratitude from me!”

Stephen told Charlie, “Sir, since he wants to repent for his mistake with the gift, please accept it. Otherwise, I don’t think he’ll be able to sleep tonight.”

After hesitating for a moment, Charlie nodded gently. “Okay, thank you for the generous gift.”

The chubby man heaved a sigh of relief when Charlie accepted the necklace. If he didn’t, he was genuinely afraid that Stephen would not let him off the hook. With his influence and ability, making him disappear off the grid was as easy as flicking his fingers.

Then, Stephen asked, “Sir, do you need a lift?”

“No thanks,” Charlie shook his hand and said, “Where is your back door? I’ll go by myself.”

The onlookers felt as if they had entered a whole new world!

Several Rolls-Royce came to deliver thirteen million dollars in cash just to buy a piece of jade.

It turned out that the owner of the Emerald Court gave it to him for free!

Who was the man who looked rather unremarkable and ordinary? What was his background?

Many people posted the video of the incident on the Internet and it quickly became the hottest topic.

The netizens labeled the mysterious man as ‘the ultra-rich man’, ‘willful boss’, ‘mysterious elite’, and so on. There was even an activity called ‘search for the mysterious rich man’ that a lot of people were actively participating in.

Fortunately, when these people were shooting the video, they were pushed out of the store by the bodyguards, so Charlie’s image in their videos was very vague and blurry and it couldn’t be used as a reference for the manhunt.

    As Charlie drove along the highway to the Arctic Circle, Vera asked from beside him, "What's your plan if the AI module does find the Qing Eliminating Society's safehouses across Africa?"Charlie thought about it and said, "I guess it's the same plan as last time—slip in quietly, eliminate the Section Ambassadors, remove the dead soldiers and the Armed Cavalry Guard, and leave after blowing up the safehouse."Vera considered the idea. "It's my opinion that there are over a dozen, if not twenty or more Qing Eliminating Society safehouses guarded by dead soldiers across the world. Naturally, you managed to take the Cyprus safehouse completely by surprise, and I'm sure the one in Nigeria will be a success too, with your elaborate misdirection."However, as the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'. If Fleur's plan to use Nigeria falls through while she loses other bases across Africa, she would be more cautious, and you can bet that even they would doub

    Even Charlie couldn't argue that it had never crossed his mind to include telco services in Horizon's operations.He and Hugo were strangers who had met completely by chance, and he had sent him to Ten Thousand Armies to help after saving him.The plan was for Ten Thousand Armies to eventually be equipped with their personal satellite systems, while Hugo also found his palace in the team and shrugged off his slump.And now, it was clear that the applications for both communications satellites and remote sensing satellites were infinite, so it was time to prioritize and pour all their resources into it.Clapping Hugo on the shoulder, Charlie smiled, "That's a good plan. Horizon is a legitimate business in the States and has now been acquired by the Rothschilds, so having them add telco service into their framework is what one would consider the logical next step for progress."Later, I'll ask Horizon to spread word about their new telco department and start a recruitment drive. Whe

    After Charlie took the key, he and Vera packed a few sets of clothes before driving out of the palace. The data center just happened to be in the north, so Charlie could drop by since Kaeden, Merlin, and Hugo were all there too.After some pleasantries, he told them they could ask for Helena if they needed help with simpler matters, but to contact him if it was serious.Before they left, Hugo took him to the side and said, "There's something we need to talk about, sir."Charlie nodded. "What is it?"Hugo said, "Over the past couple of days, I've looked through all of Horizon's operations and the hardware they're working with. As it turns out, their satellite launches have all been outsourced to SpaceX ever since they started their satellite launch service—one might even say they were one of SpaceX's very first clients and their biggest support."Considering their close partnership, I was thinking you could affiliate Ten Thousand Armies' new communications satellite with Horizon.

    They didn't have much time, but Norway was sparsely populated, and there weren't many flights. It would waste more time to get a rented vehicle to visit towns under the aurora's glow than to just drive there themselves.To save time, they decided to use the same SUV as last time and depart after dinner.The journey would take over ten hours, so they would be there around noon. It wouldn't be night, but it was just a couple of hours or more when it was dark as night anyway.Before they left, Charlie spoke to Helena about his travel plans and asked her to take care of Kaeden, Merlin, Hugo, and the others.Helena knew that Charlie was going to take Vera to see the Aurora, though she wasn't sure why he was so doting on a younger girl, even bringing her along when he was working on something so important to him. While things appeared more than what they seemed, Helena simply dismissed it as overthinking since Vera was not even twenty."You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade," she

    After setting their sights on the Kansair Mile, everyone in the data center took the divide and conquer approach.Merlin would continue to train the AI module while using the same parameters to screen through every operation across Africa to look for more Qing Eliminating Society safehouses. After all, he had already determined that hiding their forces needed a big place that was relatively secluded to hide the thousands of dead soldiers and their families.There were also other businesses that fit the bill, such as celebrity franchises, international ventures, and the like. Still, there were things that could be eliminated, like places where accidents happened too much, businesses that tended to be covered in the news 24/7, or organizations monitored closely by the local government.Now, with more than a decade's worth of satellite images from Horizon, they could observe suspicious places and discern any significant differences from the present and the past. As such, locating other

    Thanks to Oskia's complete supply chain, the vending machines' functions were quickly upgraded.Moreover, Charlie's Earthnet didn't need cutting-edge tech—every vending machine just had to fulfill two functions: capturing images and wireless connectivity.Normally speaking, a function like that just needed a security camera that could be connected to WiFi, and then it could directly upload the footage into the data servers. Charlie didn't have to worry about it being intercepted or hacked since the data was simple security footage—it was the AI module that would analyze and apply the data.When the real-time footage from the vending machines was uploaded to the AI ​​database without any deviation, the AI module would be essentially monitoring everyone in the world who appeared before the camera lens at the same time, and it would find any face it was asked to and immediately alert the user.Moreover, the hardware didn't need R&D in Oskia because many manufacturers already offered c
