Chapter 6862
At 4 pm, the freight train from the ONCF arrived at Duca Mines as per schedule. Following their usual routine, the armed cavalry guards from the Third Company guided the train onto the platform, detaching the empty freight cars. One of them would guide the driver to reverse the locomotive while others loaded the freight cars.Roy was internally thrilled even as he stood alongside the rest of his company, watching as the train slowly accelerated and pulled out of the platform.Once it left, all that awaited them was the evacuation! Across centuries and generations, they and their forebearers could only dream of escaping the despotic clutches of the Qing Eliminating Society. Now, only a few hours remained for that dream to come true!Nonetheless, the mining machinery was still working even after the train departed.Then, as darkness fell, the armed cavalry guards from the First Company moved everything to the clearing around the office building. Every piece of heavy machinery aft

By day, the cannery was completely silent. Though there were thousands of people in it, the strictest of order was maintained—no one who set foot by the front gates would even notice their presence crammed in such small buildings.To minimize outside attention, Merlin had soundproofed a few buildings where mothers with infants could stay, so their occasional crying fits wouldn't be heard outside the factory.Also, Merlin provided the dead soldiers and their families with mostly instant food to avoid leaving a trail.The cannery already had a large stock of canned sardines, and Merlin had also prepared bread, crackers, luncheon meat, and fresh vegetables that didn't require cooking. Feeding thousands was easy with these, with each person having a fair-sized portion along with drinkable water and a sealable trash bag. After each meal, everyone carefully placed their trash in the bag, which was then collected and sorted by respective team leaders. All the waste that built up over t

Astonished, Porter asked, "Mr. Wade… Did you just say Ms. Singer reached the Transformation Realm at the age of sixteen?!"Charlie nodded. "Yes, and then she attained enlightenment at twenty-two. Her talent is the type you find once in a lifetime."Porter felt his stomach churn, and he also felt embarrassed. When he had led the charge up Mount Wintry, he had felt like he had the world at his feet, and he was just an eight-star warrior then. That was still a far cry from the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, where his mentor, Pilos Kent, had stayed stuck for thirty years, unable to break through to the Dark Realm!And yet, this unassuming, delicate maiden before him had reached the Transformation Realm at the age of sixteen!Forget improving through the Illuminating Realm, the Dark Realm, the Transformation Realm, and the Master Realm! Just breaking through to the Dark Realm was already a mountain to climb! What kind of genius did it actually take to shoot up to
Chapter 6859
As night fell, multiple semis from the logistics company that Merlin had bought quietly drove into the Duca Mines compound.Each semi had arrived from Casablanca within ten minutes of each other. The families of the dead soldiers were already waiting, and they boarded according to their assigned orders.Due to the tight deadline and with so much on the line, everyone had to make do with squeezing themselves into those containers. Still, fortunately for them, the journey wasn't long, taking just two hours at most.Porter Waldron arrived at Duca Mines on the first semi, saluting Charlie when he saw him. "Mr. Wade! All arrangements are in place at the cannery, and our men heading over tonight are ready to receive the evacuees."Charlie nodded. "Is there enough food and other necessities to cater for everyone?""Absolutely," Porter said. "Inspector Lammy was very thorough, asking us to purchase more food from Casablanca before we came, and we've also made sure to select a quiet locati

Arlo grunted noncommittally before hanging up.While Penny was left staring at the phone and biting her lip in silence, Charlie suddenly said, "Your governor is telling you to return and await further orders… That means he's not leaving his post anytime soon."Penny began tentatively, "Well, he's busy…""Busy, my ass," Charlie snorted in disdain. "He's just playing chaperone to the Three Elders in Nigeria."Penny exclaimed in surprise, "H-How did you know?!"Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "I just know, and that it's Fleur's plan to have the Three Elders ambush me in Nigeria. Though I'm sure she never expected me to come here instead of going to Nigeria."Penny couldn't help thinking highly of Charlie's abilities.Even Penny herself didn't have the clearance to that information, and Arlo was breaking a rule telling her about it.Naturally, she was also aware that Arlo was giving her special treatment to get in her good graces. She had certainly been keen to return the favor so t

It was a rule for any collateral branch individuals not to return to their families. In the end, the Qing Eliminating Society was basically ancient nobles—anyone not bearing the Griffin name would be made to serve, and they naturally had neither freedom nor holidays.And when they became a part of the family and learned even a single family secret, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.Still, giving Penny a vacation was as much a special treatment as a risk. If she caused any trouble while at home or affected the Qing Eliminating Society negatively, Arlo would be held responsible.Despite her outstanding talent, she was still just a young girl in her twenties. After being away from her family for two years, it was only natural that she might be homesick, but she wouldn't even dream of returning home.Indeed, Penny would have been overjoyed before, but she was now endlessly miserable and certainly not thrilled.She was never getting away from Charlie's clutches, and there was no tel
