Author: Lord Leaf

Many guests gave Douglas their gifts. With the painting in tow, Charlie walked towards Douglas and said, “Congratulations, buddy. This is a little gift from us to celebrate your opening ceremony.”

Claire said with a smile, “Douglas, congratulations and best wishes on your grand opening. May your business be prosperous with many years to come!”

“Thank you, thank you!” Douglas said hurriedly. Then, he leaned to Charlie’s ear and whispered with a mischievous smirk, “Hey, I see that you and our be

Julien nodded without hesitation. "No problem!"He didn't even know who Charlie intended to fleece, but he relished the idea of being Charlie's accomplice. In contrast, one might only be considered a business partner if it was charity, but inviting someone to something shady meant you were now a partner-in-crime, which definitely holds more weight than being a business partner.Hence, Charlie chose an Oskian-American crypto trader in the US, a titan in the scene. However, he also recently narrowly escaped jail time and seizure of all his assets by bribing friends in high places with over ten billion—it was basically cutting off a limb to survive. Any sane man would have left right away too, but he didn't, nor did he see the loss of money as all that horrible. He already paid his dues, and that meant he could stay Stateside without worry of arrests.Recently, he had been doing everything he could to build close ties with America's elites to strengthen his recent position in the cou

Julien was determined as this was a perfect chance for him to show his loyalty. To curry Charlie's favor, a few hundred million USD sounded like a damn good deal.Hence, he assured Charlie, "If there's more to be done, just leave it to me! I'll take full charge!" Seeing that he was insisting, Charlie didn't argue and nodded slightly. "Alright, then you're on point for this one. And try to make it look real."Then, turning to Rachel, he said, "In the evening, report that Julien is going to manipulate the cryptocurrency market—say it's at least three times the profit. They will be delighted, and definitely try to squeeze you for more information, if not directly ask Julien's permission to buy in. We will arrange the groundwork in a couple of days to slowly reel him in."Rachel bowed her head respectfully right then. "Yes, Mr. Cooper. I'll get it done."Charlie nodded and sighed. "We will also need something convincing enough for him to invest everything he has, which would cost a

However, a mind trick wasn't the best option if Charlie wanted control over Esteban—the man was a governor serving the Qing Eliminating Society and therefore close to their inner circle, if not having personal contact with Fleur.It was therefore likely Fleur would send an elder or some confidante to inspect Esteban at a moment's notice, and the mind trick could very much be noticed.That was why he needed Esteban to be his willing slave.Naturally, bribery or threats wouldn't work in that respect—he needed Esteban to mess up big time.It was clear Esteban wasn't completely loyal if he had the guts to make profits behind Fleur's back. Working from that logic, using more profits to tempt him would work, and he could well make a fatal mistake from there.Rachel had no idea what Charlie's real plan was, but had the feeling it was no pipe dream if he wanted to control Esteban either.Nodding without hesitation, she said, "Whatever you need, Mr. Cooper—just ask! I'll do my best to h

Moreover, the staff tactfully left once they took Rachel to the lounge where Charlie and Vera were.Once it was just the three of them, Rachel glided toward the other two and bowed reverently, "Greetings, Mr. and Ms. Cooper!"Charlie smiled at her. "I'm guessing the Left Military Governorate was really pleased with buying the dip?" Rachel nodded repeatedly. "Yes! The governor was so pleased he even sent a praetor to reward me!"She then told Charlie about all the rewards Esteban showered her with, along with the Dragon Bronze Plaque.Taking it for a brief look, Charlie handed it back to Rachel and said quietly, "This Plaque plus the antidote that lasts 180 days definitely means progress. But that's still stingy of Esteban—he should have given your mother one too."He spoke nonchalantly, but it really struck a chord with Rachel.Being a Scholar wasn't an individual tragedy—it was generational, lasting several centuries.After all, Rachel was not the only Scholar in her family,

Looking at it that way, the Rothschilds were really the perfect fortress.-Early the next morning, Rob freshened up and headed to Rachel's dorms while everyone else was having breakfast.Rachel herself dressed up prettily before heading to the airport with Rob, where the private jet Julien had arranged was already waiting. Within hours, they arrived at Cambridge where Julien's convoy had been waiting for a while, and quickly took them to a private golf course near Harvard.Harvard didn't have a golf course like Boston or Yale, and the college team had to train at nearby sports centers. Still, it was a luxurious place considering the alumni and exclusivity were so highly restricted that not just anyone could attain membership.Rob was surprised that they would go to the golf course directly. Naturally, he had a good swing as he had learned a little as a child of privilege, and was thrilled at the prospect of Julian inviting him for some golfing, which in turn meant appreciation.

After meeting Julien and receiving advice from his girlfriend, Rob realized that having Julien's favor was more important than having his own family's favor.Hence, as soon as Julien called to invite him and Rachel to Harvard for dinner, he said yes without even asking Rachel.After that, he happily called Rachel and told her about the invitation.Rachel already knew everything, but still feigned excitement and exclaimed, "Great! That's definitely good news for you… But when are we going?""Tomorrow!" Rob chirped. "His private jet would be waiting at the airport and would take us directly there… He also said we can decide when, so we should go sooner, or wait a little?"Rachel giggled. "Sooner, obviously. It's a few hours of flight and the sooner we get there, the more respectful we'd be.""That makes sense!" Rob agreed. "Then we will go right after breakfast tomorrow!""Okay. I'll be waiting for your call tomorrow," Rachel replied.Esteban was naturally listening in on Rachel'
