Meanwhile, Rob was actually playing better thanks to his girlfriend's encouragement, and the practice match soon resumed at the coach's whistle.Smiling at Rob, his girlfriend said, "Run along, champ. Just remember to switch strategy and catch them off guard. I'll be watching and give you a sign when the time is right."Rob nodded emphatically, buoyed.He had long since learned that his girlfriend wasn't just an academic overachiever, but an insightful sports analyst especially in football. Her judgment and understanding could beat even college coaches, and her great advice was also another reason he was so in love with her.And as the second half began, Rob improved considerably.Even Charlie—who didn't know the rules—could see the clear advantage. Suddenly, Rob's team was far more agile along with his team, and they were bold enough to make plays.Through it all, Rob's girlfriend kept making sneaky hints with her hands.The hints helped, as Rob could now adjust his plays with

Charlie pressed, "Anything else?""Nothing much?" Julien said after some thought. "They are based in California, so I don't speak with them much.""And are there any specific requirements to marry a scion of your family's primary lineage?""Why, yes," Julien replied. "The main qualifications for marriage partners of Rothschilds from the main branch are naturally lineage, wealth, and influence. Moreover, their family history has to be flawless for a couple of centuries. But the further the Rothschild is from the line of succession; the requirements are somewhat relaxed."Charlie nodded. "So you and your immediate family members stand in the line of succession, but your brother Damian does not?""Of course!" Julien quickly replied. "I have yet to succeed my father, but when I do, Damian's lineage will be reduced to a collateral family despite still bearing the Rothschild name. It's like when my own heir succeeds me, while my other children are disenfranchised. Charlie then asked,

With Fleur topping the power hierarchy of the Qing Eliminating Society, the Four Earls and the Three Elders were next to her in strength and authority. However, it was the Scholars that really gave Charlie the creeps.Just like the Transition, Scholars were a doctrine that was at once radical and despicable.With the Transition, the dead soldiers and the armed cavalry guards were separated from their families. Their families would be executed if any of them tried to escape, so it was a threat which almost completely snuffed out any possibility of insubordination.As for the Scholars, they were spies, planted across the world to infiltrate all forms of elite organizations and lineages.Charlie's aunt and uncle from his mother's side were themselves Scholars' victims, and Keith Acker almost got killed because of them.That was just how cunning the Scholar conspiracy was—there was no way to guard against it. After all, they were sacrificing the Scholar's childhood and youth all to

The girl then beamed as she spoke in a clipped accent, "That was well-played, Bob. Though switching tactics earlier in another similar situation would be even more ideal."Bob nodded and smiled at her. "You're right. That's exactly what I think the biggest problem is."The girl patted her back in turn, assuring her, "It's fine—you've already done very well, and you've been improving every day. I'm sure you'll defeat them soon enough. And I believe that, because you're the best!"The quarterback looked at the girl with initial joy, his eyes glowing for a moment.But that glow soon faded as he chuckled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "Everyone says I'm the best, but I know most people say that because I'm a Rothschild. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have any virtue that set me apart here in Stanford." Hearing him, Charlie frowned—Rothschild?The kid was a Rothschild? Why hadn't Julien mentioned him?Even as Charlie pondered, the girl with Bob beamed, "Please, Rob. You

It was 5pm as Charlie and Vera strolled leisurely across Stanford's campus. The students were emerging from the buildings, heading toward the numerous courts. There were outdoor basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, and many other sports facilities occupying any free space. Stanford wasn't sports-oriented, but college sports teams were central to the local culture and occupy much of a player's schedule. As soon as class was over, they'd be out there, conducting drills and training. Vera seemed to enjoy the vibe and would stop to watch each sport, and Charlie could tell from her expression that she liked that life. It made sense—she was still basically seventeen, when a person was brimming with energy and strenuous activities like sports appealed to them the most. Eventually, they arrived courtside to watch the college football team holding a practice drill. The coaches had divided the team into two groups, and both sides fought fiercely. It was the court with most

However, Julien dared not even look upset at Charlie, merely nodding and said, "Very well, Mr. Wade. You can call me anytime."Jakel was alarmed, and couldn't help but ponder who Charlie and Vera really were. It was already astonishing that these two individuals as young as them were personally acquainted with Julien Rothschild, and was all the more shocked to see Julien fawning over Charlie.And Charlie didn't even look fazed, as if it was only natural that Julien kept fawning over him!On the other hand, Julien presumptuously assumed that Charlie brought Vera so that she could be admitted to Stanford, and beckoned Jakel, "Come, Mr. White—let's take a walk. There's something I should tell you anyway."Jakel was naturally delighted—he was less worried that Julien would disrespect him than Julien ignoring him completely. The fact that Julien wanted to talk at least offered him a chance to speak with the second-highest authority of the Rothschilds! So he quickly arranged for hi

i agree this taking to much from the story. is Charles ever going to be a real husband to claire. or will he go off with one of the other girls
Snsnnssnnsnsnnsn
Or another boring love interest....yawning
The next month is going to be about Elaine and transporting drugs and going to jail. Very boring to say the least!!!!
I'm not to interested in this capture, Charlie didn't get much if a warm welcome Elaine is leaving due to her greed, and old Fox fears death and wants Charlie's pill, it would amuse me if Elaine got a bf chasing her, and Jacob is jealous,and old man Fox croaks tonight..lol
it's like a romance novel rather than an all out action like it should be. Charlie would never say and do such stupid crap that whoever is writing it is making him out to be. I've about had it with this
The author is mostly telling us about the story instead of telling us the story. It’s a beginner’s mistake.
You haven't missed anything Sylvia, shit chapters as usual
Crap……. Crap……
