Rachel naturally never expected the privilege of such proportions, and was in her room studying when a Praetor knocked on her door.A dorm mate of hers—a fellow Scholar—answered the door. Not recognizing the Praetor, she asked in confusion, "Looking for someone?"However, the Praetor strode in directly before the Scholar could reach her, and she felt herself being shoved away as if repelled by a magnetic field.Knowing right away that the other woman was someone important from the governorate, the Scholar tensed up right then and closed the door behind the Praetor.Then, dropping one knee, she greeted the Praetor reverently, "My Lady." The other two Scholars who were reading in the living room sprang up like startled birds right then, both of them quickly mimicking their fellow Scholar as they knelt before the Praetor in greeting.After all, every Scholar understood that the Praetor was high-ranking enough that they must be greeted with reverence as soon as they arrived behind
Chapter 7848
Tensions in the Middle East escalated over the next four days, with oil prices shooting up by thirty percent, no thanks to the Rothschilds' machinations—a near-historical rate of inflation.Naturally, that meant Esteban had made a fortune. When the price inflated, he stocked up and sold all the crude oil he had privately mined and purchased from the Gettys earlier, selling it all back to the Gettys.None of his ships even made port, but he made dozens of millions in profit from the inflated price, making him a lot of money.And once he got the money, he promptly sent two rewards to Rachel.The first was a simple cash gift of five million USD, while the other was a Dragon Bronze Plaque.The governorates worked like the feudal systems of old. To maintain absolute control over the Scholars, armed cavalry guards and death soldiers in each governorate, each governorate had their own private military force in the Hubbertian Battalion.They were technically not affiliated to any governo

The Rothschilds had already sent their Washington-based lobbyists to the White House.As the family preferred to keep things quiet with whatever they did, their direct associates and publicly acknowledged executives rarely reached out to officials directly. Instead, they had lobbyists they groomed meticulously, who held staff positions in the White House.While they were clerks, assistants, or deputy heads of departments in the building, they had a job in name only. Instead, their main tasks were to facilitate communications between the Rothschilds and any high-ranking official as required, or confer with the president as a spokesperson for the family if necessary.The man spent his weekdays staying in the building on the second floor—his primary residence. Since he was around in the evening, most of the White House staff would work late into the night, including the Rothschilds' lobbyists.Once Steve made his phone call, the lobbyists immediately headed to the president's private

Despite Charlie's mind trick, Horus frowned at his question and had to think for a long while."Apologies, sir," he eventually replied respectfully. "We are talking about over ten thousand dead soldiers in each base, and every individual who was put through the transition will be cut off completely from their families. "Only the respective governors can possibly reverse the transition. But with almost every department having to work together to regulate the movements, it simply draws too much attention and Lord Griffin would inevitably notice."Knowing that Horus couldn't lie, Charlie was hence convinced that any effort to reverse the transition and reunite thousands of families would cause too many problems, if not downright drawing Fleur's attention.That meant he had to give up on saving all the armed cavalry guards and death soldiers for the time being.On another note, he had no reason to keep prying into the Left Military Governorate's affairs for now. Instead, he would hav

Charlie smiled and nodded. "I wasn't going to kill you anyway. Keeping you alive works for me."Horus sighed in relief and quickly said, "Don't worry—I'll be your informant from the inside, and inform you right away if the Left Military Governorate makes any moves!"Charlie nodded again and asked, "Are the elders of the Qing Eliminating Society here?"Horus didn't wait to shake his head. "No, they are always elusive and we don't know what happens to them."Charlie chuckled. "Really?"Horus said bluntly, "It's the truth! The absolute truth! Scout's honor!"Charlie pursed his lips in disdain. "There's no need. I have ways to make you tell the truth."Horus's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold flash in Charlie's eyes, but Charlie's Reiki had seized his mind even before he could speak."I'll ask again," he growled icily. "Have your elders come Stateside?!""Yes, the second elder has been touring the country for a while," Horus promptly replied, and much more respectfully th

Hearing that Horus mistook him for his father, Charlie immediately realized that Horus didn't just meet his father, but likely interacted with him somehow.Hence, he demanded coolly, "You knew my father?"Horus was still caught in a moment of disbelief—a person just appeared and was standing behind him, as if he came out of Biscayne Bay.Still, he was quick on the uptake when Charlie mentioned 'my father'."Y-You're Curtis Wade's son?!" He exclaimed in shock. "That means… You're Charlie Wade! You were alive?!""It seems you know a lot about my family," Charlie chuckled coolly.Horus had no idea how good Charlie was, as he projected his own Reiki to study Charlie but felt nothing in return.However, he didn't dare let down his guard since it was not anyone who could sneak up behind his back… But was it possible for the man to be a superior cultivator?Even as he grew nervous, he smiled to deescalate the confrontation while also preparing to attack. "Your father was just as famou
