Merlin was startled when he heard this, and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.He was very familiar with Ten Thousand Armies because of his previous occupation, and he even knew that Ten Thousand Armies had invested a huge amount of money to build its own permanent base in Syria.For a mercenary organization to have a permanent base basically meant that they were ahead of all the other mercenary organizations of the same kind.Mercenaries were more disgusting to law enforcement agencies in various countries than underground forces like Albert.The vast majority of mercenary organizations were considered public enemies who were criticized and shunned in all countries in the world. They could only survive in secret, and they would never dare to show their signboards openly unless the organization could collaborate deeply with the government. Although there were many mercenary organizations in the United States, aside from a few organizations that could collaborat
Charlie nodded and said, “They met me that night and knew that I arranged for someone to take you away, but they probably wouldn’t have expected that you could come back to life. When you meet them, tell them that a mysterious person saved you after giving you a pill. After that, they asked Miss Fox to send you to meet them. As for who the mysterious person really is, tell them you don’t know. They will definitely associate the person who saved you with the person who saved them. Let them guess the rest for themselves.”“Okay, Young Master Wade!” Merlin said seriously, “I’ll take note of that.”Charlie nodded, opened the door, called Kathleen in, and said, “Miss Fox, please arrange a helicopter to take Chief Lammy to Ark Building in Manhattan. It’d be best for you to contact my uncle in advance first. Just tell them that you’d like to visit them. When I saved them that day, you were the one who led the people responsible for the aftermath at the scene, so they definitely will not be
A family trust was an extremely secure means of asset protection in Europe and the United States. There was a saying in Oskia that wealth does not last for three generations. The reason for this was that the fathers were the ones who made the fortunes whereas the children and grandchildren were the ones who lived extravagantly, squander their money, have low vision, and were incompetent in maintaining their businesses which could easily lead to family bankruptcy and overnight reversion to their original form.The reason for this was because the ability and character of the children and grandchildren were not within their control. Once there was a problem with their ability and character, it would be difficult to prevent the family from going into decline. What’s more, there were also various natural disasters in addition to man-made disasters.However, a family trust effectively eliminated the risk of natural and man-made disasters. Putting one’s own money into the trust meant
At this moment, the expressions on Kaeden, Christian, and Keith’s faces changed drastically!Kaeden blurted out, “You met Adrienne the second year after Ashley passed away... Adrienne has been staying hidden by your side for nineteen years until this accident... This group of people who wants to kill us should be inseparable from the person who killed Ashley back then!”Keith said in amazement, “In that case, they were not satisfied with simply killing Ashley and Curtis, and they have carefully planted a time bomb next to Jaxson to be detonated after nineteen years. What exactly are these people planning to do?! Why did they wait so long if they wanted to take out the entire Acker family?” “That’s right...” Christian was also puzzled and said, “They are so strong and powerful, so there is no need for them to wait until today to attack us if they truly have any deep hatred against us...”Keith said, “What I really don’t understand is how much hatred and grudge these people have aga
Lord Acker’s sudden roar caused the expression on the three brothers’ faces to darken.Although everyone had gradually arrived at this conclusion, everyone still felt a chill run down their backs when the old man said it out loud.Kaeden said with a puzzled expression, “I don’t understand... What kind of hatred or grudge do these people have against us? Why do they have to keep watch over us for twenty years?”Jaxson was puzzled as he said, “The Acker family did not do anything to harm anyone over the years in our accumulation of assets! Over the years, most of our assets come from the Angel investment back then, especially from my sister, who basically supported half of Silicon Valley on her own. Who would have this kind of blood feud with us?”Christian said with a cold expression, “Perhaps they want to get something from us.”Jaxson asked him, “Christian, what do you mean? Could it be that they want our money?”“I can’t tell.” Christian said, “I just think that the other party
Christian hurriedly used his cell phone to search for some photos of Kathleen from the internet and handed it over to Lord Acker. After looking at it several times, Lord Acker returned the cell phone to Christian, but he was suddenly startled as a figure flashed through his mind, and he could not help but ask, “By the way, Christian, was Miss Fox the one who took Merlin away?”Christian asked in surprise, “Dad, do you remember Merlin?”Lord Acker said in a daze, “An image just flashed through my mind just now as if I remembered that our benefactor said that Merlin was dead...”Having said that, he hurriedly asked, “Christian, did our benefactor say that he would get someone to take Merlin’s body away for a proper burial?”Christian was shocked that his father could still remember some fragments of that day and mourned, “Our benefactor did say that at the time. I reckon he must have left this matter to Miss Fox.”Lord Acker’s eyes turned red, and he said with a little self-reproa
Kathleen did not expect the old man to remember her, so she quickly said respectfully, “Lord Acker, how are you doing lately?”Lord Acker nodded and said to Kathleen, “I’ve been fine lately thanks to you, Miss Fox.”Kathleen hurriedly said, “Please don’t say that, Lord Acker! How can I afford it when I’m your junior!”Christian, who was aside, also nodded politely at Kathleen and said, “Hello, Miss Fox!”Kathleen responded respectfully in turn, “Hello, Mr. Christian!”Christian asked with concern, “Miss Fox, I would like to ask, where is my good buddy, Merlin, buried now? Please give me the address if it’s convenient. I’d like to go and pay my respect to him.”Before Kathleen could speak up, Merlin, who was wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses, suddenly said, “Christian, your good buddy is not dead yet!” When Merlin said this, Christian and Keith who were beside him were dumbfounded!Both of them could hear and tell that it was Merlin’s voice. However, neither one of them
Keith and Christian quickly invited them into Ark Building. They then took the elevator from the roof to the top floor. Once they got out of the elevator, Keith brought Merlin into the conference room directly. All the Acker family members, both young and old, were waiting in the conference room. According to Lord Acker’s intention, they were planning to thank Kathleen in person.Keith pushed the conference room door open, and all the Acker family members stood up one after the other. However, what they did not expect was that it would be Merlin, who had a close friendship with the Acker family, instead of Kathleen who would come in behind him!The moment they saw Merlin, the Acker family members were instantly shocked.Everyone could not believe their eyes. This was because they firmly believed that Merlin was dead since he had been implicated by the Acker family.Therefore, now that Merlin was suddenly appearing in front of them, the Acker family members seemed to have lost t
