Chapter 6833
Penny's full name was Penny Singer. Though she was just 24, she was also the first cultivator in her family in centuries, and therefore, also their greatest hope in all that time.After all, their fate had been tied to the Griffins, prospering or suffering as they did. It just so happened that after one of their daughters married into the Griffin family and bore them children, Fleur had asked the Griffins to rein in any collateral families and keep them permanently under their control, even as the Qing Eliminating Society rose to power.Naturally, her method for control was simple: poison.As long as the collateral branches remained loyal to the Griffins, they would receive a steady supply of the antidote along with wealth and prestige. However, insubordination would be punished swiftly with the death of the entire collateral family.Fleur's own motive was that her family and their secrets would only increase as long as she lived, and she couldn't just let them fall to decline.

Chapter 6832
Despite seeing how confident Charlie was, Roy felt a little nervous and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what are your plans for the praetor? I don't have a gauge for how powerful she truly is, but just give the order, and I will gather my best men to kill her!"Charlie shook his head. "Actually, I have some use for her since she's a high-ranking official in the Right Military Governor's Office. I can't just kill her off for nothing... By the way, what's the command structure like in your Armed Cavalry Guard garrison?"Roy responded, "The Armed Cavalry Guards are divided into three battalions—nine companies and twenty-seven squads, and there's always a commanding officer and his deputy on each level."Of the three companies, the First is responsible for mining operations, the Second is in charge of processing the refinery, and the Third, logistics and security. The men you saw on the loading platform where you arrived are from the Third, and the others in the battalion are working overt

Charlie then asked, "The transition is supposed to separate you from your families and comrades, I believe?""Yes," Roy nodded. "It's as sinister as it is treacherous. I'm sure Lady Griffin was worried that armed cavalry guards like us might defect, so she's holding our families hostage. We would have to fight to the death or do something noteworthy for her cause just so that we can see each other again, and it would certainly keep everyone in line and prevent any rebellion.""Hmm…" Charlie mused and asked, "Did the plans for the transition include the dead soldiers?"Roy shook his head again. "I'm not sure. The Praetor claimed that the current transition only applied to the armed cavalry guards, since it would be difficult with the dead soldiers outnumbering us by a country mile."Then, looking at Charlie nervously but hopefully, he once again pleaded, "I'm sorry, but again, I must ask you to save us! We will serve as long as we draw breath once you free us from the evil clutches

Charlie nodded and said, "I will now undo the mind trick so that we can speak to each other freely. Resist, and I won't hesitate to kill you. Naturally, the plan to rescue everyone—dead soldiers, armed cavalry guards, and every member of your family, will be out of the offer. Inherently, the rest of your comrades and their families will be separated from their families… that is, if they don't quickly follow you to your death next!"Knowing that Roy wouldn't be able to actually react, he quickly withdrew his Reiki from Roy's mind.The man took a deep breath as he regained his mind, and he promptly bowed his head to Charlie in reverence. "Good sir, my name is Roy Elliot. On behalf of my nine hundred and eleven comrades and their families, I humbly ask for your help!"Roy was no fool.He knew right away that Charlie was stronger than Penny, having been able to sneak in under her nose undetected. Moreover, another commander he was close with had mentioned rumors of an entire dead sol
Chapter 6829
The armed cavalry guards were united in body and spirit—most of them had inherited their positions from parents, even grandparents. It was only natural that their camaraderie went without saying as a military force that didn’t have to retire.Even as the world had changed over the years, they and their forefathers had each experienced the same baptism of fire. Now, each of them fought for the men beside them, to keep them alive even in the heat of battle. When one fell, the others would do their best to take care of the family their fallen comrade had left behind, as if that family were their own.A camaraderie forged in blood like that most certainly would surpass everything before long.But with the transition breathing down their necks, they wouldn't just be separated from their families—they'd be torn away from their comrades—it was the next worst thing for them aside from death.Hearing that Roy had a plan, everyone was naturally on their side, having complete faith.That's w

Even if Charlie told them he had the antidote that could free them from the Qing Eliminating Society's control… what then?If they left with him, their families, whose whereabouts they wouldn't have known, would be massacred to the last. With that deterring them, most of them were not about to escape by themselves.Fleur's move was certainly savage—as if keeping the cavalry guard in line wasn't enough, she was taking preventive measures by threatening their families.It was simply inhumane.With that in mind, Charlie's divine sense kept tracking Penny until she left the refinery and arrived at the office nearby. Roy had prepared an office for her, along with files on every armed cavalry guard as well as their families.Seeing that she was drafting the plans for the transition, Charlie noticed something else.While she had been observing Roy with her Reiki right after she left, she had now completely withdrawn her Reiki, clearly not bothered to keep watching him and his men.
