Meanwhile, Charlie was continuing his road trip with Vera, only starting their return to Oslo after sunset.Along the way, Vera suggested, "Since you're planning to hit the Nigerian base when the three elders of the Elder Council depart, why not seize this timing to extend Earthnet's reach to the country, too? The three elders of the Elder Council will most likely be flying, and with eyes on the ground, we could get a fix on their position when they leave the borders."Charlie nodded. "Sure, but we need to do this in two separate steps. The first is to have our people head to Nigeria and buy out various vending machine companies. The other is to purchase our own custom hardware, as the vending machines locally at present won't have security cameras equipped.""I agree," Vera smiled. "And the security cameras equipped need to have internet connectivity, so we can demonstrate it as a direct upgrade to present machines. After that, we will also customize the vending machines so that th

Pausing, Arlo then continued, "Like the Rockefellers, the core of the Rothschilds's income comes from the energy and resource business."Sure, technology appears to be developing endlessly for now, but certain fields might see the old replaced with the new. Brutish warriors such as us certainly don't have the edge to succeed in such fields, and is there any assurance we can claim the pinnacle of that field? Just the slightest change could lead to losing every last dollar in a hundred-million-dollar project."On the other hand, invest in an oil field, and it's a steady income of one billion for the next thirty years. That's how important it is to play things steady and why we should always prioritize reinforcing ourselves against any potential upheavals. If another world war starts tomorrow, I won't bet on making money with computer chips or smartphones, but I sure as hell can bet on making billions from gas, steel, and other alloys!"Despite being nearly four hundred years old and l

Standing behind Arlo, Callum, seeing that the former was clearly irritated, said, "If you're not used to this place, governor, I could book a five-star hotel. The three elders already went to the basement—it's just me keeping watch over the rest."Arlo shook his head and said quietly, "Her Lordship told me that I am to oversee the entire plan without allowing anything to go amiss. If anything happens and I'm away, I won't be able to survive Her Lordship's wrath."Callum hung his head fearfully in turn, quickly apologizing, "Sorry, sir. It seems that I haven't been prudent…""Forget it," Arlo sighed, waving him off. "I can stay here for a couple of days, but it's going to be a real trial if I have to stay any longer. Heaven knows if her lordship's unknown adversary would ever show up, or when.""Even Her Lordship doesn't know who they are or where they could be," Callum sighed. "If all we do is wait, who knows if we'll end up waiting for weeks, months, or even years…""Indeed, but

As Charlie took Vera on a trip down memory lane in Bergen, the oil rigs down southeast in Nigeria were working 24/7, their restless silhouette and rumblings a distinct sight on the plains.Oil was the main source of income for the country. In fact, back when gas prices peaked, they were once the top three, if not indisputable top dog of the continent.The oil field that the Qing Eliminating Society owned had been running for decades. After Nigeria's independence, the Qing Eliminating Society had acquired it by special means, and it had since raked in at least a billion for them every year. That meant tens of billions for the past few decades, and even now, they could sell it for tens of billions.Moreover, the Qing Eliminating Society had plenty of other similar properties, though this oil field remained one of their most lucrative and valuable properties.And standing atop a towering platform were two men, looking out over the oil field.At the front, near the handrail, was Arlo

Charlie chuckled. "I've already asked Helena to look for a good farm where you can lodge occasionally once we're done with renovations. We won't leave a paper trail with her help even when traveling internationally, so you don't have to worry about Fleur finding you." Vera nodded quietly, as she really wanted to stay in Norway for a while.Still, the desire waned considering how rarely Charlie would visit…That was when Vera's phone rang.She answered the call, and she immediately heard Decan Revan saying, "Lady Lavor, we have new leads regarding that flight.""Tell me everything," Vera replied, turning on the loudspeaker. "I just happen to be with Charlie, anyway."She knew Charlie would hear every word even if she didn't turn on the loudspeaker, but she did so out of respect instead of dismissing it as unnecessary."The plane landed at Johannesburg as initially planned," Decan replied. "We've also found their cargo manifest."What Decan soon relayed was basically all the inf

Meanwhile, at one of the Qing Eliminating Society's many bases, Tarlon was reporting to Fleur, "The three elders from the Elder Council have settled down in our Nigerian safehouses, and I've arranged for the Right Military Governor to personally receive them as well as provide a place for cultivation.""Good," Fleur replied. "And what about the airline?"Tarlon shook his head. "As we had planned, we staged an emergency landing for the flight between Frankfurt and Johannesburg. The flight will be noted in every airline app, but the stop will go unnoticed for the average person unless the specific flight schedule is monitored."In that case, they would notice the stop in Lagos, and if they came looking for clues, they would have fallen into our trap."Fleur nodded. "What's the next step? Are there other breadcrumbs that would lead them to our Nigerian safehouse without making it look too easy?""That would be the multi-precision machinery that we transport from Germany," Tarlon repl
