Chapter 916
Author: Lord Leaf
Another example of the overwhelming politeness was when a few people rushed to pay the same bill at the same time after dinner.

Everyone rushed to pay, but not all of them were sincere to pay. Their intention was simply to show their effort in being polite as if they would look immature if they didn’t.

Therefore, it was quite a common scene for a few people to gather around the cashier, arguing and insisting on paying.

Exhausted by such meaningless scenes, Charlie admired Paul’s wittiness and decisiveness. He stopped all the nonsense when Charlie stated that he was busy and saw him off. This was the wise way of communication between smart people.

Paul walked Charlie all the way out of his office and came to the elevator lobby. He took the liberty to press the button for Charlie. Then, they both looked at the digital indicator that showed an elevator coming up from the first floor and stopped on their floor.

Paul hurriedly gestured as soon as the elevator stopped, but before he man

    After that, the AI module continued: [After analyzing the seven oil companies and considering earlier suggestions that concealing higher production yield may be a blunder, there is a need to clarify that such accounting fraud is of no concern.][Smuggling out more fuel than what they recorded in itself risks exposure to other illicit operations and moots the point of doing it in the first place. However, if the extra fuel never left the oil field, wasn't sold, and was instead converted into electricity for internal use, no one outside the organization can verify that.][The law enforcement's ability to track and expose smuggled oil depends solely on catching the company in the act of transporting the fuel they unearth. But for oil fields where there is a daily production of thousands of barrels each day, setting aside just 0.5% of that yield before transporting out the rest is enough to meet the energy demands implied.][It is the ideal explanation for every parameter, as it keeps

    Merlin was clearly surprised—the AI module was already reviewing its response before presenting it, and it was also assuming different approaches to a single problem. It was a significantly more mature response than the way it had answered his questions before.Even trying to train a human employee to do so may take several years. In fact, that might not happen at all with the less inspired amongst them, but it was just a matter of asking for the AI module. It goes to show the importance of training the AI, especially with the mind of an elite detective, which would hone its strength in terms of logical reasoning.Pleased, there was a hint of excitement in Merlin's voice as he said, "So, let's suppose the additional electricity supply isn't taken from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, and there's no other external power sources above ground. Can you present any possibilities that explain it?"The AI ​​module replied: [Perhaps they have their own generators.]Merlin turned to Ch

    Merlin's command left the AI silent for another minute until it abruptly announced: [Textbooks on criminology and various notable criminal cases across the globe added to databanks. Analysis now includes a fifty percent criminal mind parameter.]Then, AI said: [Based on new parameters, the company owning the oil field is least likely to conceal production capacity and evade taxes. If they have increased their power consumption to cater for thousands of people, they would put the power consumption numbers on record while still hiding their people.] [Under those parameters, KS Petroleum remains the chief suspect because of its high power consumption. What we could be seeing is a clerical error in an attempt to conceal production figures. Unless further data is provided, that is the conclusion drawn from the current available data, unless categorized as a paradox.]Merlin chuckled. "Paradoxes can mean there is simply more conclusive data needed, but also that we are on the right track

    After that, Merlin gave the AI module the names of the seven oil fields.The AI module began gathering information on the oil fields, analyzed, compared, and processed the data before answering within seconds: [Raphael Inc. fits the bill the most. After cross-referencing the seven companies, it has the least count in labor, but its production capacity is also ranked second, making it far surpass the standard per capita productivity in the country and indicating the possibility of unknown laborers.]Merlin nodded. "Yes, but you also need to consider the possibility of unregistered employees. Your statistics are tabulated from the national labor union of the country, and that means only formal employees who have joined the union will be recorded. If they use a large number of unregistered informal employees, your judgment may deviate far too much."There was silence for seconds before the AI module replied: [Concurred. I have noticed something substantial about accidents and deaths of

    Merlin's words left everyone thrilled, and Vera could barely hide her excitement from her youthful face. "That's true, Mr. Lammy—we will find them for now, and Charlie will eventually be able to destroy them!"Merlin smiled at her before turning to Charlie with a serious look. "We discussed it even before this module was activated, and my thought was to locate the Five Military Governors—not just their location, but also their organization and their other identities. According to your intel, it's the Right Military Governor who oversees Africa?""Yeah," Charlie replied, nodding.Merlin held a thumbs-up. "In that case, finding their Nigerian safehouse is just the first step. With Horizon's database now linked up to the AI module, we just might find clues that lead us to the Right Military Governor's base, and then we can destroy it altogether. That definitely will be a great blow to the Qing Eliminating Society!"Charlie's eyes lit up. "Well, what's the plan?"Merlin replied, "Beca

    The SOPs for corporate acquisition were extensive and complex. The buyers would want to make sure they were not picking up a time bomb, and therefore send in professional appraisers to review company operations across the board. That meant they would be auditing to determine the numbers were right, and only commence the handover process after they found no issue.That was why Julien's intention to skip all of that left them in shock—forget auditing, the man wasn't even asking for a framework agreement before paying 2.5 billion USD.It was simply ridiculous!Still, seeing Carl's surprise, Julien shrugged. "When it comes to swindling the Rothschilds, there's no person who has lived to tell the tale. Paying you would be inevitable anyway since you would've already taken my deal, but if something came up in the audit, I would have all the resources I need to squeeze you and get my money back… and then some."Carl nodded repeatedly—that much was true, as anyone optimistic enough to de
