Chapter 6787
The royal chalet stood atop the gentle slope of the top of the hill in the north of Lyngen, with a small road that led to the foot of the mountain, with steel fencing encircling the bottom of the hill itself.Charlie took out the key given to him by Susan as he alighted and opened the gates on the fence before driving all the way up the hill.As the picturesque hill looked just like a bowl placed upside down, and its outline seemed drawn with delicate lines, the drive upward was smooth and steady.As for the chalet, it was a simplistic wooden building, and it was also enormous, housing a huge parlor, nine bedrooms, a study, and a dining hall. It could definitely accommodate up to thirty people!After parking the SUV at the front, Charlie opened the door.Although no one lived here, the royal family had gone out of their way to air and clean it regularly, so every room was spotless. The dry weather also helped, so there were no strange odors.There was a real hearth parlor too, un

Vera's words offered Charlie some insight as he mused to himself thoughtfully.While Marcius has been obsessed with immortality all his life, he still had some lingering sentiments about worldly matters. Sure, he had gained enlightenment, but there was also no doubt that he had gone out of his way to return, fulfilling his old promise to the Jensons. It was a shame that the man whom he owed had died before he returned.Later, even after he had retreated to seclusion in Mount Tason, he still couldn't help intervening with worldly matters. When he saw Vera's father and Fleur being hunted by the Qing forces, he had decided he should help just because he was Oskian.In that sense, when he told Vera's father he was giving the latter the ring in hopes that he would make Oskia great again, Marcius did mean every word of it. He definitely knew that the ring had the power that could help restore their overthrown dynasty, and not just by teleportation.With that in mind, he asked Vera, "Well

Vera sighed, a little stern as she said, "Mr. Wade, you are not divine, so don't push yourself too far. Although the dead soldiers deserve pity, the innocent people whom they butchered deserve even more. Sure, Fleur entrapped them into her service, but they are equally responsible for assisting her reign of tyranny, massacring towns and villages."Yes, some of the dead soldiers had gone through a lot, but they never held back against innocents either. I've seen their atrocities with my own eyes, and it's more than enough to earn them a life sentence. It is therefore my earnest request that you shouldn't be too kind to them and put yourself in danger because of that. "At the same time, and despite what Vera had said, she thought to herself that she should be the villain to protect Charlie's gentle heart.Charlie was silent as he pondered for a long while, when he suddenly remembered, "But what if I could just seize the Right Military Governor's authority? The dead soldiers would com

Vera's words left Charlie silent for a long while, but he knew she was being as objective as she was pragmatic.If they managed to win twice—first with a raid, and now, with misdirection—Fleur would never let his victories go unanswered a third time.That meant if he tried to raid yet another dead soldier base, he wasn't going to be taking them with him, which meant he needed to make a choice: massacre every last living being the next time he attacked a Qing Eliminating Society safehouse, or simply refrain from another raid.But it looked to him like neither choice was ideal.Eventually, he asked Vera, "What if I gave them the antidote and told them to run?"Vera sighed. "Dead soldiers would never survive in normal society because they don't legally exist and have no way to make a living. Sure, you can give them money, but there are thousands of them—it's just not happening. Even if you freed them, they might not escape the wrath of the Qing Eliminating Society."Of course, it wo

As Charlie drove along the highway to the Arctic Circle, Vera asked from beside him, "What's your plan if the AI module does find the Qing Eliminating Society's safehouses across Africa?"Charlie thought about it and said, "I guess it's the same plan as last time—slip in quietly, eliminate the Section Ambassadors, remove the dead soldiers and the Armed Cavalry Guard, and leave after blowing up the safehouse."Vera considered the idea. "It's my opinion that there are over a dozen, if not twenty or more Qing Eliminating Society safehouses guarded by dead soldiers across the world. Naturally, you managed to take the Cyprus safehouse completely by surprise, and I'm sure the one in Nigeria will be a success too, with your elaborate misdirection."However, as the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'. If Fleur's plan to use Nigeria falls through while she loses other bases across Africa, she would be more cautious, and you can bet that even they would doub

Even Charlie couldn't argue that it had never crossed his mind to include telco services in Horizon's operations.He and Hugo were strangers who had met completely by chance, and he had sent him to Ten Thousand Armies to help after saving him.The plan was for Ten Thousand Armies to eventually be equipped with their personal satellite systems, while Hugo also found his palace in the team and shrugged off his slump.And now, it was clear that the applications for both communications satellites and remote sensing satellites were infinite, so it was time to prioritize and pour all their resources into it.Clapping Hugo on the shoulder, Charlie smiled, "That's a good plan. Horizon is a legitimate business in the States and has now been acquired by the Rothschilds, so having them add telco service into their framework is what one would consider the logical next step for progress."Later, I'll ask Horizon to spread word about their new telco department and start a recruitment drive.
