Chapter 5920
Author: Lord Leaf
Jacob felt a mix of envy and jealousy when he heard that Charlie was giving Elaine a million dollars. Although he had some income from the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it wasn't nearly enough for his expenses.

As the Vice President of the association, he often had to entertain guests, and his frequent trips in the luxurious car incurred substantial expenses. Despite his position, he was not as shameless as Elaine was, and he had always felt indebted to Charlie for his achievements and the opportunities he had, such as driving the luxury car and living in Thompson First. So, he didn't feel comfortable asking Charlie for money.

But when he saw that Elaine was about to receive a million dollars simply by asking for it, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. He even contemplated asking Charlie for some financial assistance, but when he thought of how he had insulted Elaine earlier, he was embarrassed to ask Charlie for money.

Meanwhile, Charlie wasted no time and transferred a

    Although Moroccan Authorities had cordoned off the entire Duca mining facility, their barricade may well be nonexistent to the Hubertians.They first examined the evidence, as the investigators had sorted out everything they recovered from the rubble for further examination. Penny's sword was basically the first item they discovered, which they classified as a personal possession.Hubbertian elites always answered to the Right Military Governor, and most of them had crossed paths with Penny, so they quickly recognized it and were aware that it was a personal gift from Lady Griffin.When they found it, the Hubbertians were overjoyed and immediately brought the sword back to Arlo.On the other hand, Arlo only felt a swell of ominous feeling in his gut.This sword was a magical instrument personally crafted by Fleur, and Penny had treasured it.As long as she was alive, she would definitely hold on to the sword.But now, the sword had been left in Duca, making it clear that her f

    Seeing a ray of hope, Arlo promptly ordered the task force to find the ship logs of the Port of Casablanca, combing through the freight vessels that had docked or departed within the last few days.Naturally, there were hundreds of them, and some were even heading to the other side of the world.But to Arlo, each ship was suspect, and he wasn't worried about the vessels being hard to track after reaching the wider ocean.After all, the movement of every freight vessel had to be legally recorded, and if they found a suspect, it would be easy to track down its country of origin or the company that owned it. It meant a lot of searching, but that still meant their missing garrison wouldn't elude capture.So, he had people investigate and record the routes of every vessel within the suspected timeframe where the Duca Garrison had left the mines.The international shipping system was almost no different from the international civil aviation system, with real-time information about every

    Now that they were working out in the open, hundreds of Hubbertians and the armed cavalry guards promptly split themselves into the three teams assigned by Arlo, and the investigation was conducted at full capacity.Although the Qing Eliminating Society didn't own any remote satellites, they could easily afford the latest satellite images from major satellite companies. Naturally, whether they actually had any images of Duca Mines depended entirely on luck.The good news was that they had managed to obtain satellite images of Duca Mines from several different companies spanning up to eight days earlier. However, the bad news was that these images showed nothing out of place.Naturally, the images were taken during the day, and they showed that the gates of the mining facility were locked up tight, with no one and no vehicles entering or leaving. There was no unscheduled entry or departure, let alone any signs of a large-scale evacuation.When Arlo was briefed on this news, he wa

    Marvin nodded nervously, quietly wiping a drop of cold sweat from his forehead before saying, "To be honest, I'm also completely at a loss as to what exactly happened at the Duca Mines. What I can share with you now is just information on the brochure."Duca Mines only produces one thing: raw phosphate, transported directly from Duca Mines to the railway freight terminal in the Port of Casablanca via the ONCF. Right now, you're standing in the transit warehouse of Moore Trading—the company that I manage. All imported goods that have been cleared by customs and goods awaiting export that have not yet been cleared are stored here. Our staff will then liaise with customs for whatever necessary paperwork."Every afternoon, a train loaded with raw phosphate arrives in Casablanca from Duca Mines. Ever since the production line was upgraded, it has been operating smoothly for over three years with no issues. Yesterday evening, around 6.10 pm, the last train of phosphate from Duca Mines arri

    Hearing that the governor had arrived, Marvin promptly stayed silent and beckoned to his deputy.Together, they stood up to welcome Arlo, who just happened to enter the office at the same time.As soon as they saw each other, Marvin's lackey bowed so deeply his back arched at a ninety-degree angle. "Governor Griffin! Mr. Doakes!"While Marvin was a special envoy, he was still not important enough to meet a governor. Even when it came to Reuben Sarkies, whom he often worked with, he had only ever heard the man's voice and never seen his face.As such, even Marvin couldn't be sure that Arlo was who he claimed he was, and he said respectfully, "Envoy Doakes, at your service… May I see your Tigerhead Badge, Sir?"Arlo didn't waste any time and whipped out a small plate forged from pure gold from his pocket with his right hand. There were no words inscribed on it, but it was sculpted in the shape of a lifelike tiger head. Then, as Arlo traced his fingers over the distinct fur on th

    The Moore Trading management office and warehouse were both constructed in a single large compound with a single entrance.Still, the management office wasn't large, whereas the warehouse spanned over ten thousand square meters. Naturally, to avoid suspicion, Moore Trading also maintained legitimate import and export operations.Nonetheless, nearly a thousand people arriving in the same compound under broad daylight would still garner a lot of attention.However, Arlo didn't care and didn't even warn them to stay undercover.In his mind, since Duca Mines was already lost and there was no need to hide their retaliation force, even Moore Trading would soon lose its value. In fact, it was reasonable to presume that everyone here would be rounded up and killed as well, even if to just cut off the trail leading to them from Morocco.However, this was still different from what had happened in Cyprus. On that occasion, the prevailing theory was that the enemy had likely fled by sea.
