Chapter 7809
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

Charlie wasn't sure why his mother had reached that conclusion, but he agreed with Vera's point of view. Some people could deduce entire revelations from a handful of clues, or through the basic but unwritten underlying laws and logic. The best example of the former was Merlin. While he used to think Vera was the best example of the latter, he now thought his mother must be on par with Vera as well.For Vera's part, she didn't need to wait to check with Ashley—the image in her mind couldn't be clearer.Back then, Ashley and Curtis must have discovered decisive proof of mysticism, and through the few clues left behind by those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, quickly deduced that these people didn't come from Earth.Judging from her request to Stanford for a collaboration, Ashley must have initially approached this matter with a scientific mindset and perspective. However, the scientific approach ultimately failed, and she gradually turned to mys

Because these were classified documents that could not be distributed, there were no electronic versions or electronic retrieval systems. Otherwise, simply typing "Ashley Acker" into a computer would automatically bring up all the documents. Here, they could only search for Ashley's name through the yearly editions of the Yellow Pages. Each file had a corresponding title, printed in a Yellow Pages book each year so finding Ashley's name there would lead to related content. However, this method only found records primarily about Ashley—if the record's main subject was someone else while Ashley was of secondary importance, the Yellow Pages headings would likely not mention her name. Interestingly, Charlie and Vera quickly found some content related to Ashley, but it wasn't about any specific studies she led or important events involving her. Instead, it documented interactions between the Stanford administration and the CIA, including a file titled 'Recommendation to the CIA Regardin
