Devin had no intention of flattering Julien. He had studied the book "Art of War" some time ago and researched some ancient Oskian documents on power tactics. He was taking this opportunity to flatter Julien, making him feel invincible to consequently force him to make unintentional mistakes. After all, Harrison was still alive and held absolute power in the family. If Julien carelessly made any mistakes, Harrison might be repulsed by his attitude and disqualify him from his position as an heir. On the other hand, Devin had no intention to compete for the position of heir. He merely felt that Harrison's continued reign was the best situation for them, and it was much better than any other sibling succeeding the throne. Julien was over the moon when his brothers came to him with pleading looks and humble statures. They were brothers, and there was no class difference between them. But now, he was finally about to take the decisive step as an heir, which indicated that his brothe
On one hand, these patriarchs wanted to pass on the position of the head of the family to their heirs in the future. Still, on the other hand, they tried to delay the inheritance as long as possible so that the heirs took the position early enough. Moreover, they didn't want their heirs to show any excitement and expectation about inheriting the position, nor did they expect any usurpation before the inheritance. If Julien had shown any sign of passion when his brothers flattered him, albeit a little bit, Harrison would have been furious, filled with anger and resentment toward him. However, Julien's reaction exceeded his expectations, and in his view, it was nothing short of perfect. Thanks to Charlie's advice, Julien composed himself, and the minute he entered the ward and saw Harrison on the bed, he immediately curled his lips down and donned a sad grimace. With teary eyes, he walked quickly to the bed, knelt on one knee, looked at Harrison, and asked in a choking voice,
Julien's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Harrison stammered his words. For the past two days, he had felt uneasy and frustrated toward Charlie as he had been manipulated to betray Harrison and his family. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel grateful for Charlie. He sighed and thought, 'Wow, Charlie is really something. Everything has unfolded according to his plan!' "As soon as the news of the tower's return to Oskia came out, Dad really fell ill and lost the will to continue running the family. My brothers and their kids also lost the chance to achieve anything in this matter. As Dad's eldest son and the original heir, I have naturally taken over his position!" "Perfect? Well, this is damn perfect! How wonderful would it be if Royce were half as good as Charlie?" Despite his excitement, Julien maintained his respectful posture and said to Harrison, "Dad, rest well now. I'll talk to the doctors and discuss the best treatment so that you can start rehabilitat
Helena was proactively involved and even intended to come from Canada to visit Harrison. The royal family must have had their considerations, so Harrison presumed that the Nordic royal family at least hoped to get to a closer connection with the Rothschild family. Knowing that he was about to officially take over the family, Julien felt that Helena's arrival at this time would definitely add luster to his reputation, so he said hastily, "Okay, Dad. I'll contact Queen Helena and check her schedule." "Good." Harrison nodded. "I'll leave it to you..." - After Julien left the ward, he immediately had the doctors arrange for the meeting and had the meeting room prepared. Meanwhile, he entered an empty room, closed the door, and called Charlie. As soon as the call was answered, Charlie's voice echoed from the other end of the line, "Julien, have you seen your father?" "Yes, I have!" Julien beamed attentively. "Mr. Wade, you must be a psychic! Dad said that he would gather everyon
Charlie ended the call when Julien expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Charlie. He then discussed with Helena how they should give him a reality check early the next morning. Since Helena's visit to Canada would not end for another two days, she had relatively quite a lot of free time. In addition, Helena had previously announced that she was ill, so her schedule in Canada was not very tight. Helena was free in the morning tomorrow, but she had a meeting and visit in the afternoon. Hence, she could leave for New York to meet Harrison at seven and then come back at noon. Her task when meeting Harrison was not difficult. It could be done in at most half an hour. Ever since he had experienced the charm of the AI model the last time, Charlie had been fascinated by this new technology. He couldn't think of any use for the AI right now, but he figured that it would be of great use to Ten Thousand Armies and Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. In fact, it should be able to play an
Charlie said with a smile, "After you reach a deal with Harrison, you must ask him to agree to an additional condition." "What is it?" asked Helena. "Make him promise not to tell anyone about the pill, not even his sons. If anyone asks why he suddenly recovered, he should insist that it was a miracle and that God appeared to save him. He must give these answers no matter who asks him." Speaking of which, Charlie added, "Tell him that you have a better elixir. If he needs it, you can negotiate the price on the premise that he must agree to the additional condition." "Okay, Mr. Wade." Helena nodded. "I'll take note of it." Charlie continued, "By the way, after everything is settled, tell him that you were moved by Julien's love for him, so you brought such a precious pill because you wanted to help Julien gain a better impression in Harrison's eyes." "Since you want to keep Julien in check, why are you helping him gain a good impression in front of Harrison?" asked Helena, pu
Helena promised without hesitation, "Don't worry. I'll send him to Oskia safely." "I wish you a successful start tomorrow." Charlie nodded and smiled. After saying goodbye to Helena, Charlie went to Raymond's room. Charlie informed Raymond of his next plan and lamented apologetically, "I will not go to Europe with you this time. Helena will arrange everything." "Thank you, Mr. Wade," Raymond said with gratitude. "Please take care of your business. I'll report to you as soon as I arrive in Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and informed, "When you return to Oskia this time, everything will begin anew. Helena will give you a temporary identity in Europe. After you arrive in Aurous Hill, I'll have someone prepare a new identity for you—an identity of someone who has never left Oskia and has an impeccable background." Charlie then sighed a little and continued, "Even though the Rothschilds have dropped the charges against you, they might not give up on taking revenge on you
Raymond said, "I don't know much about anything, just a few decades of experience in antiques. So, if my identity as Raymond can be made flawless, I'll run a small antique store in Aurous Hill. As you said, the greatest concealment is in plain sight, and I can keep myself safe. Besides, I wouldn't have to hide in the dark all the time. Also, if you ever need me for anything, I can be at your service whenever you call." Charlie felt that Raymond made a lot of sense. The identity of Biden Cole was currently considered missing. However, for the Rothschild family, he had died in the fire along with Zekeiah. To the Qing Eliminating Society, he had perished along with Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro. Since they couldn't locate the people they were most familiar with, namely Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro, they couldn't bypass these two and specifically look for Biden. Besides, the identity of Raymond Cole was a native Oskian antique dealer who struggled with Pan's Antique and was fired by Jasmine in Vintag
