Charlie nodded. "That's the plan, since the AI module is a vital piece of our plans. We won't just be using it against the Qing Eliminating Society—it will also play a role in Curtis Autos' development. That's why I'd like to be there to check it out.""Then… may I join you?" Vera asked."Wait, you're planning to go to Europe?" Charlie asked in surprise."Indeed," Vera nodded repeatedly. "I'd like to bear witness to this cutting-edge tech, and I do indeed love Europe after living there for a while—it'd be a nice trip down memory lane."Pausing, she then sighed. "I haven't stayed here in the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor that long, but I definitely feel like I'm catching cabin fever… I used to travel everywhere while in hiding, but I've never been to a place like this, with few rooms and a single small garden. The place I stayed in Europe even had a farm…"Charlie could understand where Vera was coming from. After all, she had traveled the world for centuries, not exactly as someone rich

Charlie thought about Vera's theory before speaking, "I've always had the feeling that the Qing Eliminating Society would eventually catch on that the airline had exposed them, but I presumed we could gather as much information as we could before they realized it."I didn't expect them to go into hiding after the death of the Four Earls either. They must have been reflecting on the recent turn of events and soon noticed what the issue was."Pausing, he then continued, "Still, it's strange. They could have just carried on like nothing went wrong, even if they noticed the leak, which would keep us fooled. Selling it was simply unnecessary, as you have put it."Vera shrugged. "We won't be able to tell what they're up to so soon, but I think we must still keep a close eye on that airline company and whatever flights they are planning."Charlie nodded. "Sure. We have nothing much to go on either, but that airline is the most valuable source we have. They will inevitably move personnel a

After some further exchange of pleasantries, Julien hung up and called Charlie. Charlie was on the way to the Scarlet Manor as Vera had texted him ten minutes ago, saying that there was something they should discuss face-to-face.She was as attentive as ever, offering to brew tea, to which he happily agreed.Once Charlie answered, Julien quickly said, "Mr. Wade? My father just called me and said I could return stateside. It seems that I can't stay to share your burdens anymore."Charlie chuckled. "There's really nothing to share. You should hurry and return since he's calling.""Can I buy you dinner before I go?""No, it's really fine. I'll take a raincheck."Julien paused, but he soon chuckled, "Oh, but I really hoped you would say yes…"Charlie sighed and asked, "Well, when are you heading back?""Tomorrow, if nothing important comes up," Julien replied. "Otherwise, I would have trouble explaining it to my father since he thinks I can't stand this place.""Then, how about
Chapter 6699
Despite what he had said, Harrison was absolutely clueless about who on earth had kidnapped Salem and Edmund, but he knew one thing—they weren't pushovers.After all, while everyone was dead sure that Salem and Edmund were kept somewhere in Oskia, they had suddenly resurfaced, ransomed for a billion USD. While there had been other kidnappers audacious enough to demand that much, to contact a family directly in such fashion and also refuse to release the hostages after being paid was definitely a first.However, if Jennie didn't pay the ransom, the kidnappers would definitely tell everyone about it, thus labeling her as an emotionless money-hoarder.She was a Rothschild before she married, and once she became a pariah, the Rothschilds wouldn't be spared the flaming either.That was why Harrison absolutely wanted her to pay up.He wasn't lying either—he had countless methods to make Jennie famous after she paid the ransom. The only thing he was worried about was that Jennie migh

Sighing, Harrison continued, "Look, Jennie, it's especially during a crisis that you must be rational. One billion is too much even for your family, but it's definitely worth it if you can save your husband and son and get them back. However, you're saying it's just to keep them alive? That's just ridiculous."Jane was stunned. "A-Are you telling me to give up, sir?""No, of course not," Harrison promptly said. "You're getting the wrong idea here. I'm just telling you to be prudent, because it's up to you to decide what needs to be done in the next 48 hours."There's no way we can get them back that quickly, and we're talking about a moving vessel that could have moved a thousand nautical miles in 48 hours. That means even if we pinpoint the location of that video, we have to search a circular area with a radius of a thousand nautical miles… Do you know your math? How much is the total area?""That'd be 4.16 thousand square miles…" Jennie mumbled before she knew it."That's just i

"Out at sea?" Harrison blurted out in surprise, but he soon asked, "Have they made any demands?""Yes," Jennie replied. "A billion US dollars in cryptocurrency!""A billion?!" Harrison cried out at the top of his lungs. "Talk about a greedy bunch! What lunatics demand a billion for a ransom?! They're out of their minds!"Just hearing that it was too much even for Harrison left Jennie bursting into tears, "They're demons incarnate, sir! On top of that, they're saying we don't get to secure their release with the money…""What? Then what are we paying them for?" Harrison demanded. "They said the money keeps them alive," Jane sniffled. "It's either that, or Salem and Edmund will be sleeping with the fishes!""Motherfuckers!" Harrison bellowed in fury. "They aren't just ransomers—they're robbers! A billion isn't even enough for their release?!""Yes… And they warned me I only have 48 hours to consider. If I don't send them the cryptocurrency at that time, Salem and Edmund will die!
