Chapter 7833
Rachel's parents' side of the family shared the same precarious position as Rob's family did in the Rothschilds, with the possibility of becoming a collateral family before long. Still, with Rachel and Rob's relationship going public, Rachel's parents were growing in position in the wider family, with even the chance of claiming leadership.Rachel's mother might be a Scholar, but she was only human and had her own mind on things too.She wasn't just hoping that her own lineage would rise in importance within the Qing Eliminating Society, while her husband would gain further influence within the family. Her own position would naturally elevate in turn, which gave them a bigger say in things.And if they accomplished enough, Rachel's children might even be spared from the life of a Scholar.That was why when she was informed that Rachel would be having dinner with Julien, she immediately notified the Left Military Governorate and the Gettys.Esteban Griffin—the Left Military Gover

Rachel really didn't expect Charlie to leave just like that, while her poor boyfriend was still in Oskiatown running errands for Julien.Her first thought was that it was hubris—as if Charlie clearly wasn't bothered that the Qing Eliminating Society could turn the tables on him.Still, she soon realized Charlie could afford to be arrogant when Julien was nothing more than Charlie's errand boy, let alone Rob, who was an insignificant Rothschild.For his part, Julien was used to Charlie's volatility, only asking, "You're really not staying for dinner? Rob's going to take a while, but we can get started without him."Charlie waved him off. "No, let's do this some other time. We'll be going to Harvard in a couple of days."Julien promptly smiled and nodded. "No problem. I'll be there."Charlie stood up and told him and Julien, "Take your time. Remember, Rachel—I need my window. You can leave when I reach Miami."Rachel naturally read Charlie's plan right away.The Left Military Go

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
