Chapter 2614
Author: Lord Leaf
“Google, Apple, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle, Tesla, and many other top high-tech companies emerged and established themselves, step by step, from Silicon Valley.”

“Their market value has already increased tens of thousands of times, and their growth and incremental space are extremely huge!”

“If any stockholder bought Apple’s shares twenty years ago, he would have made a profit of more than three hundred or four hundred times.”

“Did you know that your mother invested in Apple with the venture capital fund that she had set up even before you were born?!”

“At that time, Steve Jobs treated her as the most distinguished guest, and when Apple’s market value was only worth a few billion dollars back then, she paid up hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for 10% of Apple’s shares!”

“Apple’s market value at the moment is currently worth more than two trillion US dollars, and that is equivalent to more than fifteen trillion Oskia dollars!”

“After many rounds of dilution and reduction, the

    The next day, a private jet usually used by the Norwegian royal family for official duties took off from Oslo and landed straight in Aurous Hill.Aside from two groups of flight crew, there was no one else besides Charlie and Vera.Along the way, Charlie received a report from Porter through satellite links.Right now, multiple ships loaded with dead soldiers, armed cavalry guards, and their families from Duca Mines had already left the Strait of Gibraltar, meaning that they were completely free from the Qing Eliminating Society now.Since the Mediterranean Sea was the only thing that stood between Syria and the Strait of Gibraltar, they would arrive at Ten Thousand Armies' base after the 3,000-kilometer voyage that would last about a week.Still, Charlie would like to send Penny to Aurous Hill as soon as possible, where she would meet Ruby.Turning to Vera, he asked, "Do you have any connections who could help get Penny to Oskia? I mean, without leaving any immigration records.

    Over the next few days, while Charlie continued generating Reiki with the hand seals, he also kept his distance from the ring.Having made all the necessary preparations, he had nothing much to worry about when he returned to Aurous Hill. Even if the ring drained all his Reiki, he could just refill it with cultivating pills.He might even toy with the ring to see who could last longer.Vera was naturally really supportive of the plan—she was convinced Marcius Stark had kept this card close to his chest, but he had been earnest when he sent Elijah and Fleur away from the mountain to save the country.That meant aside from emergency teleportation, the ring must have another purpose as well.Still, while Charlie was preparing to leave with Vera, Merlin decided against it and told him, "I'm going to stay and keep training the AI module. There have been ideas I've had that I want to try, and it would help us a lot if it works."Knowing that Merlin was getting addicted to training the

    Vera, standing nearby, suddenly giggled. "Helena, the winters here are too long, and it can get boring just hanging around. Why don't you visit Oskia instead? I'm sure you travel to Southern Europe or tropical countries during winters here too, right?"Helena smiled, not expecting the sudden invitation."We do travel to Southern Europe or tropical countries where we have property and are friendly with the local governments. That way, we'd have more privacy, and passing through customs is easier, but not Oskia. I can go on an official visit, but without any property, having a vacation there might not be easy."Vera said, "It's not a big deal, actually—just a sister city relationship between Oslo and Aurous Hill. You can use that as an excuse to go to Aurous Hill, and there will be a suite waiting for you at Shangri-La for further convenience. Charlie owns it, and you could tell the local government that you don't want publicity. There's no problem with that at all."Helena's eyes lit

    Vera and Helena were the best of friends by the time Charlie and Merlin returned to Norway.It was late winter, and there was barely any sunlight, so the whole country was basically going into hibernation, and the royal family was no different.Foreign and domestic events were mostly suspended while the Queen stayed in seclusion, avoiding public appearances unless it was absolutely necessary. Without much else to do, Helena spent nearly every day with Vera.She had bought and tidied up the farm Charlie had asked her to purchase, and she would spend the day there with Vera whenever they could, tending to the livestock as well as taking strolls with the cats and dogs.Still, after spending so much time with Vera, Helena's curiosity toward her grew.She noticed that despite Vera's youthful appearance, there was a calm air and maturity about her, and she possessed way too many skills without any prior instruction. She was certainly surprised that someone so young would have mastered

    Merlin nodded. "It's a bit difficult, but we already have the facial profiles on a large number of Qing Eliminating Society members. We will be alerted right away if we install vending machines at the entrances to Arlo's hospital and even register patterns if they regularly visit… though we can surmise that Arlo has been abandoned if no one visits."Charlie asked, "What if someone from the Right Military Governor's Office shows up?"Merlin replied, "We've already had a number of them identified after droves of them traveled through Naples Airport. I've instructed the AI module to set them on level one notification, so the AI module will report them immediately whenever Earthnet spots them."That said, those members may just be a small portion of them, but I can ask the AI module to cross-reference those faces recorded at the airport to the faces who showed up at the hospital. That way, we can identify those who arrived in Casablanca by plane or boat from elsewhere and then went to t

    Charlie nodded. "Penny is talented, and she is very young, too. But having come to know her, one can see that she's a warrior, not a statesman. Even if I had never captured her, she would never have been able to elevate the Qing Eliminating Society as a whole. Aside from the mind of a war strategist, they sorely need a mind that can keep up with the times."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "Oh, and considering Arlo's abilities, he wouldn't die even if he loses both hands—heck, he wouldn't even need a hospital. That's why it's puzzling why he would go to one and publicly, at that… Why do you think that is?"Merlin thought about it. "Well, considering what you did to him, they would understand that Arlo has been compromised. Going straight to the hospital only goes to show there's no point if he hides or not."Moreover, I imagine Fleur is worried that you might feed Arlo another Regeneration Pill. See, every time we encounter a murder, especially one with no known motives and an unusu
