Charlie smiled and nodded. "I wasn't going to kill you anyway. Keeping you alive works for me."Horus sighed in relief and quickly said, "Don't worry—I'll be your informant from the inside, and inform you right away if the Left Military Governorate makes any moves!"Charlie nodded again and asked, "Are the elders of the Qing Eliminating Society here?"Horus didn't wait to shake his head. "No, they are always elusive and we don't know what happens to them."Charlie chuckled. "Really?"Horus said bluntly, "It's the truth! The absolute truth! Scout's honor!"Charlie pursed his lips in disdain. "There's no need. I have ways to make you tell the truth."Horus's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold flash in Charlie's eyes, but Charlie's Reiki had seized his mind even before he could speak."I'll ask again," he growled icily. "Have your elders come Stateside?!""Yes, the second elder has been touring the country for a while," Horus promptly replied, and much more respectfully th

Hearing that Horus mistook him for his father, Charlie immediately realized that Horus didn't just meet his father, but likely interacted with him somehow.Hence, he demanded coolly, "You knew my father?"Horus was still caught in a moment of disbelief—a person just appeared and was standing behind him, as if he came out of Biscayne Bay.Still, he was quick on the uptake when Charlie mentioned 'my father'."Y-You're Curtis Wade's son?!" He exclaimed in shock. "That means… You're Charlie Wade! You were alive?!""It seems you know a lot about my family," Charlie chuckled coolly.Horus had no idea how good Charlie was, as he projected his own Reiki to study Charlie but felt nothing in return.However, he didn't dare let down his guard since it was not anyone who could sneak up behind his back… But was it possible for the man to be a superior cultivator?Even as he grew nervous, he smiled to deescalate the confrontation while also preparing to attack. "Your father was just as famou

Horus smiled and nodded in satisfaction. "No problem! Allow me to thank you at the outset, Mr. Getty!" He was certainly confident about their move because calling Rachel's information an insider tip was an understatement, when the Rothschild ruled America and the international oil market. While everyone else was busy predicting market trends, they moved the market itself. If this tip somehow still failed them, there was really nothing in this world to believe in.With a million tons of crude oil and should price increase by ten percent, that was a profit of over thirty USD per ton even with the premium paid to the Gettys. And with the ready stock waiting in Esteban's warehouse, that was over a hundred million waiting to be made.After finalizing the details with David, Horus left with both Wallis and David escorting him to the pier, after which he got on his two-deck yacht alone.Naturally, Horus wasn't aware that he had a passenger on board, as Charlie had hidden below deck, wh

Rachel's father David was already waiting in his own house, and was delighted to see Horus.Hurrying over, he shook his hand and beamed, "To what do we owe the pleasure, Mr. Daven? This is unprecedented."Horus smiled in turn. "My board chair sent me to discuss something with you, Mr. Getty… It's about oil, to be specific."David nodded. "That's never a problem. How much shale oil do you intend to sell through us?""No," Horus shook his head as he explained solemnly, "We intend to buy, not sell.""Buy?" David blurted, bemused. "But, why? Your oil company digs for it, and isn't involved in the refining business." Horus smiled as he admitted, "The board chair has his own take when it comes to the ongoing middle-east conflict. With potential escalation, he's interested in stockpiling."That left David perplexed. "But things look like they are calming down recently, with another round of peace talks due to begin soon. With the strait open, crude oil prices are expected to drop—not

Even with the Left Military Governorate subtly increasing shale oil production each passing year, the IRS would just ignore that. However, they were always monitoring closely every cent flowing in and out of their organization. Naturally, an increase in oil production means hundreds of millions in additional profits, but it couldn't be sold through standard distributors, since they had to keep it secret from Fleur Griffin.That was why the Left Military Governorate would first sell their stock to the Gettys off the books, who would then smuggle the oil to their own refinery. They would then inflate the numbers as they mixed the acquired oil with what they had themselves, and then sell it through standard distributors.After refinement, the oil would be distributed through Getty's global network and, through multiple rounds of transactions, eventually converted into untraceable commodities like gold or cash.And with this gray connection tying them together, David Getty—Wallis' hus

Horus frowned. "Elder Griffin…? Oh, he was saying he wanted to check out Mexico a few days ago, and I arranged for his transport. "Esteban sighed in relief. "Good. His presence Stateside is more or less troublesome, and it's even more troublesome if he notices anything and tells Her Lordship when he returns to her."Nodding and waving him off again, Esteban said, "Alright, just go. And stick to the plan.""Yes, sir," Horus bowed and turned to leave.The present base of the Left Military Governorate was in an affluent district here in Miami. Naturally, they didn't plant themselves at the richest neighborhood for ease of movement, instead setting up a yacht club by the bay where countless ships moved without drawing anyone's attention.With both sea and land being viable routes, they were naturally much more secure.Esteban had picked Miami precisely to make full use of the Scholar lineage in the Gettys, and to have the Gettys sell off unplanned barrels of oil.For the convenienc

I just watched the Gangs of New York without watching the Gangs of New York! I didn’t like the movie now I didn’t like this either! Move on..
So if Charlie is so gun ho, stop hiding and fight the chick that killed your parents? No, it's not the right time. Stop trying to make like Charlie has all this honor. It only came through the book!
Why the hell did he go to NY and he not even eat yet but so much crap has happened to him. You are really turning up the money grabbing fillers. A new low for you.
