Julien then returned to the private room, smiling at Charlie, "You were asking for me, sir?"Charlie nodded, beckoning for him to sit. "I need a favor.""Oh, there's no need to get so formal!" Julian quickly replied. "It's my honor to be of service!"At that point, Rachel was numb to Julien fawning all over Charlie and simply watched in silence.She also realized further that if she cooperated, Charlie would have Julien make it worthwhile for her family. Naturally, it didn't necessarily mean money, but importance in the Qing Eliminating Society so that life would get easier for her family.Charlie then told Julien, "I'd like a sudden, sharp inflation of international crude oil prices today, or the sooner the better."Julien didn't even flinch, instead merely asking, "By how much?""Ten percent, at least."Julien breathed a sigh of relief and grinned confidently, "Well, that's easy. We've been manipulating gas prices for a while now, and it's causing the wild fluctuations ever

After ordering food, Julien took his time returning to the private room.He knew perfectly well that even though he was Julien Rothschild—the heir apparent of the illustrious Rothschild family, he was still less than a lackey to Charlie. If anything, it was not Charlie wanting anything to do with his insignificant grandnephew, and there was more to this dinner than he thought. But since it was something private with Rob's girlfriend, Julien knew that the sensible thing to do here was to keep Rob out.Rob was still happily oblivious. Hence, seeing that Julien was still staying after making orders, asked, "Shouldn't we go back, granduncle?""Not yet," Julien beckoned. "Wait here. I need to take a call."Rob was puzzled, but didn't dare question Julien and only nodded.Julien stepped out of the kitchen to call Charlie, asking respectfully, "Mr. Wade? Can I bring Rob over now?""Wait," Charlie said. "You can come back, but send Rob on an errand or something for now."Julien nodd

Pausing, Charlie then continued, "That way, they would see the urgency to act, especially if they had stock of crude oil and sell given the opportunity. They'd definitely send a praetor."Charlie's plan had been to have the Rothschilds inflate crude oil prices to draw the Left Military Governorate out of hiding.Come to think of it, there was a process even when it came to inflation, so the bait might not be attractive enough.Still, he just wanted to track down the folks working in the Left Military Governorate anyway, and creating fake bait was much more efficient than preparing actual food to be used as bait.Moreover, everyone in business was obsessed with insider trading, whether it was small-time stock market investors, CEOs of public companies, private equity fund managers, or conglomerate giants. After all, receiving an accurate tip in advance potentially meant millions, if not billions in profits. If Rachel heard the news from the Rothschild family heir, many in the Left M

Seeing how things were, Rachel quickly told Charlie, "Don't worry, Mr. Cooper. I'll do my best no matter what you ask, and without hesitation!"Charlie smiled and nodded. "It's not just your family that will benefit from this partnership. I will restore your freedom once the Qing Eliminating Society falls."Rachel's expression stiffened, finally realizing just then Charlie's true goal was to take down the Qing Eliminating Society in its entirety.Minutes ago, she most definitely wouldn't believe him even if he said that, dismissing it as delusional.But seeing Charlie's confidence and composure now, she thought that there just might be a chance.Bowing her head reverently, she said, "Mr. Cooper, every Scholar is bound to servitude by the Qing Eliminating Society for hundreds of years now. I'm sure every Scholar's ambition has been to secure freedom for themselves and their children—if you can free us, we will be eternally grateful!"Charlie nodded as he calmly said, "Well, if you

However, that also presented a great opportunity for Charlie,Still, he frowned. "With the unrest in the Middle East, crude oil prices had been inflating terribly. If I were the Left Military Governorate, I'd want to sell my stockpile since this is the best time to do it." Then, turning to Rachel, he said, "I'll have our boy here try to manipulate crude oil prices, create a short-term surge. If everything proceeds as planned, the Left Military Governorate will definitely seize the opportunity to sell their stockpile. While they do, you can take Rob to Miami to meet your parents—contact me right away if the Left Military Governorate sends anyone."Rachel looked nervous at the idea. "But if I do and the Qing Eliminating Society finds out that we were conspiring, my family and I will be eliminated…"Charlie held her gaze as he shot back, "And do you think you'll live if you refuse to work with me?"Flustered, Rachel shook her head. "N-No, sir, let me rephrase. I'm concerned that onc
Chapter 7826
Vera's feelings on the Five Military Governorates turned out to be correct.Even if they were Griffins, they were like five children of a king, each assigned significant fiefs and subjects, while also being more loyal than the king's men.In feudal times, rarely were there loyal princes, just as the princes were only ever fiercely competitive against one another. With their father's death being the one chance for them to rise to claim ultimate power, it was no different from the situation in the Rothschilds, with Julien being clearly less loyal to his father Harrison than Harrison's key executives to Harrison. They depended on his father for their livelihood, while Julien hoped for Harrison to step down sooner.That was exactly how things worked between the Five Military Governorates and Fleur worked too, especially since she now had less than a hundred years to live.Now, the question they must all consider was what would happen after she died.There were two really likely scenar
