That was why the Qing Eliminating Society was very careful about distributing the antidote, in fear that it would be taken by others.They were worried that the recipients would not take it, instead saving it and giving it off, going against their duty and hurting the Qing Eliminating Society's interests.It was not like they were being paranoid either, as it was a lesson learned from experience.For the dead soldiers who had been oppressed over centuries, it was a dream that one of them found freedom—even if hundreds died for it, by giving their pills to that one person.As each of them took one pill that kept them alive for seven days, hundreds of pills meant thousands of days.That meant years, if not over a decade.It wouldn't be long enough for them to plan and carry out a vendetta against the Qing Eliminating Society, but it was still enough time for them to flourish where the Qing Eliminating Society wouldn't find them.As their children flourished, they carried the weigh

While a little surprised to get Rachel's call, Julien still answered."Greetings, Mr. Rothschild," she promptly greeted him. "It's Rachel Getty, and I must first convey my gratitude regarding the tip you provided at dinner. It helped my family make a fortune!"Naturally, she was telling Julien indirectly to relay the message to Charlie, reporting that her objective was complete.Julien was himself smart and chuckled heartily, "Oh, it's nothing—you'd be family in the future anyway, so there's no need for such formal thanks over a little tip. Don't worry, I'd let you in the loop if there are similar chances."Rachel was endlessly grateful nonetheless. "Yes, Mr. Rothschild. I'm really grateful…"-Meanwhile, the Left Military Governorate was listening in on Rachel's conversation, with Esteban being positively delighted and thrilled to hear Julien answering Rachel's personal call, and being so approving of her.On top of that, he made a few hundred million in profit from that 'littl

Looking at it that way, the Rothschilds were really the perfect fortress.-Early the next morning, Rob freshened up and headed to Rachel's dorms while everyone else was having breakfast.Rachel herself dressed up prettily before heading to the airport with Rob, where the private jet Julien had arranged was already waiting. Within hours, they arrived at Cambridge where Julien's convoy had been waiting for a while, and quickly took them to a private golf course near Harvard.Harvard didn't have a golf course like Boston or Yale, and the college team had to train at nearby sports centers. Still, it was a luxurious place considering the alumni and exclusivity were so highly restricted that not just anyone could attain membership.Rob was surprised that they would go to the golf course directly. Naturally, he had a good swing as he had learned a little as a child of privilege, and was thrilled at the prospect of Julian inviting him for some golfing, which in turn meant appreciation.

However, a mind trick wasn't the best option if Charlie wanted control over Esteban—the man was a governor serving the Qing Eliminating Society and therefore close to their inner circle, if not having personal contact with Fleur.It was therefore likely Fleur would send an elder or some confidante to inspect Esteban at a moment's notice, and the mind trick could very much be noticed.That was why he needed Esteban to be his willing slave.Naturally, bribery or threats wouldn't work in that respect—he needed Esteban to mess up big time.It was clear Esteban wasn't completely loyal if he had the guts to make profits behind Fleur's back. Working from that logic, using more profits to tempt him would work, and he could well make a fatal mistake from there.Rachel had no idea what Charlie's real plan was, but had the feeling it was no pipe dream if he wanted to control Esteban either.Nodding without hesitation, she said, "Whatever you need, Mr. Cooper—just ask! I'll do my best to h

Julien nodded without hesitation. "No problem!"He didn't even know who Charlie intended to fleece, but he relished the idea of being Charlie's accomplice. In contrast, one might only be considered a business partner if it was charity, but inviting someone to something shady meant you were now a partner-in-crime, which definitely holds more weight than being a business partner.Hence, Charlie chose an Oskian-American crypto trader in the US, a titan in the scene. However, he also recently narrowly escaped jail time and seizure of all his assets by bribing friends in high places with over ten billion—it was basically cutting off a limb to survive. Any sane man would have left right away too, but he didn't, nor did he see the loss of money as all that horrible. He already paid his dues, and that meant he could stay Stateside without worry of arrests.Recently, he had been doing everything he could to build close ties with America's elites to strengthen his recent position in the cou
