Charlie had a revelation during his recent trip to New York.
He realized that no matter how strong a person may be, they cannot maintain their power in every situation. This truth applied not only to himself but also to Morgana.
It struck Charlie deeply when favonovel.com obtained image data from the Rothschild family. He saw that Morgana, even in New York, was forced to keep a low profile. She was constantly confined to a helicopter with the registration number N77DT, under the watchful eye of the Rothschild family.
Her proud lineage, cultivated over four hundred years, was tightly suppressed by modern AI models and advanced weaponry, leaving favonovel.com no room to breathe.
The reason for this suppression was favonovel.com lack of subordinates to deploy. If favonovel.com wanted to fight, favonovel.com had to rely solely on favonovel.com personal strength and take great risks.
Once Charlie could eliminate all favonovel.com forces, the unnamed island in Antarctica where Morgana resided would become a larger version of N77DT. He would force favonovel.com to remain confined, just like the Rothschild family did.
Samuel agreed with Charlie’s observation and asked, “Charlie, how much do you know about the external forces of the Warriors Den now?”
Charlie replied honestly, “Apart from Morgana, the Lord, the Warriors Den consists of the Three Elders, Four Great Marshals, and the Five Military Governor’s Office. I have already eradicated the Four Great Marshals completely. Under the Five Military Governor’s Office, I have eliminated the Assassin’s base in Cyprus commanded by the Right Military Governor’s Office. It is also likely that the higher-level base, a copper smelter located in Turkey, has been internally cut off by the Warriors Den.”
Samuel inquired further, “Do you have any knowledge about the number of Assassin’s bases under the Right Military Governor’s Office?”
“I don’t know,” Charlie admitted. “There may be only one, or there could be multiple bases.”
Continuing, Charlie added, “I haven’t discovered any clues regarding the location of the Right Military Governor’s Office yet. It is said that they frequently change their base, being extremely cautious.”
Samuel couldn’t help but sigh, “You have eliminated one Assassin’s base under the Right Military Governor‘s Office, but you still haven’t found any concrete leads on the office itself. It’s already challenging enough to find one office, let alone five. It will be a difficult task.”
Charlie nodded, “Currently, the Warriors Den has gone silent. It will be even harder to find their clues. But I believe their silence won’t last long. Once they start acting again, we will surely uncover some leads.”
Jack suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Wade, let me help you with the investigation. I have years of experience in criminal investigation, and I excel at digging deep into things. Even if there are five military governor’s offices in the Warriors Den, they must have left some clues, and I believe I can be of assistance.”
Without hesitation, Charlie replied, “Detective Lee, you have retired now, and you just narrowly escaped death recently. Don’t take such risks. You already have a good relationship with my grandfather’s family. The Warriors Den will undoubtedly keep a close eye on your every move.”
“It’s fine,” Jack reassured him. “My target is indeed significant, second only to Uncle Evans’s family, but I can assemble a well-organized team to help me with the investigation and gather intelligence. I will command them from the headquarters base, analyzing and evaluating all the information and clues. This way, the Warriors Den won‘t pay attention to me.”
Desmond chimed in with joy, “Charlie, this is a brilliant idea! In this age of information, not everything requires hands-on work from Jack. As long as we provide favonovel.com with capable manpower to work under his command, we will undoubtedly achieve great results.”
Jack was concerned that Charlie might not want his help, so favonovel.com spoke up, “Mr. Wade, I have an idea now. If you don’t mind, I can share it with everyone and discuss it.”
Charlie eagerly replied, “Detective Lee, please share your idea!”
Jack spoke earnestly, “Based on Mr. the Wade’s previous explanations, I understand that the five military governor’s offices in the Warriors Den are equivalent to the ancient emperor’s five feudal lords. They control their own territories, where they establish economic and military systems. They accumulate wealth through various resources and strategic planning over centuries, while secretly nurturing a large number of assassins to bolster the Warriors Den’s military power and funding. Am I correct?”
Charlie nodded, “That’s correct.”
Jack continued, “Although these five military governor‘s offices have their own territories, these territories only exist within the Warriors Den. In reality, their so-called territories are mostly sovereign countries on different continents, such as the copper mine in Cyprus and the copper smelter in Turkey. Therefore, their primary goal is to hide themselves and avoid arousing suspicion from the host country’s government.”
Charlie nodded in agreement. “Inspector Lee is absolutely correct.”
A slight smile graced lack’s lips as favonovel.com began to expound on the Dead Soldiers Station. “Allow me to elaborate on the Dead Soldiers Station. Essentially, it serves as a clandestine hub for an illicit militia group. This facility is sprawling, hosting thousands of individuals intermittently. The crux lies in its complete concealment within a sovereign nation, ensuring its operations remain undetected-an imperative for establishing such a sizable enterprise…”
“Furthermore, it cannot be just any large enterprise; it must operate in manufacturing or industrial mining to secure extensive land, undertake large-scale civil construction, and procure materials discreetly…”
“Moreover, the industry they engage in must possess sufficient tradition, thereby facilitating easy recruitment and deflecting attention from outsiders. For instance, an automobile factory with thousands of employees would attract substantial attention globally as a prominent manufacturing entity. Governments, media, and industries would scrutinize it closely. Conversely, a mine with a similar workforce would largely escape notice unless a major incident occurs…”
Jack paused momentarily before continuing, “To pinpoint the Dead Soldiers’ residence beneath the Right Army Governor’s Mansion in Europe, we must amalgamate all traditional industrial and mining enterprises across Europe. Subsequently, employing the process of elimination, we can filter our search…”
“European state-owned enterprises or those with state ownership are excluded since the Qing Dynasty wouldn’t establish a death camp within such entities. Enterprises with fewer than 300 employees are also disregarded as they fail to meet the necessary criteria…”
“Leading companies in their respective industries with impeccable reputations are omitted, as the Warriors Den wouldn’t convert its death camp into a high-profile corporation. Companies with a history of significant safety incidents are eliminated since the Qing Dynasty wouldn’t risk exposing its operations…”
“Similarly, entities accused of tax evasion, environmental violations, or labor disputes are excluded. The Qing Dynasty invested significant effort into establishing these camps and wouldn’t jeopardize them over minor infractions…”
Jack’s excitement grew palpable as favonovel.com continued, “Following these criteria, the remaining companies are large yet relatively obscure, moderately profitable, and maintain legal compliance with stable operations and limited growth potential. This winnowing process could potentially reduce the initial 100,000 base to merely a few hundred or even a hundred, significantly narrowing our focus.”
Desmond, unable to contain his enthusiasm, slammed the table, exclaiming, “Bravo, Jack! You’ve managed to crack the case with this ingenious strategy! This winnowing process will expedite our investigation, saving us considerable time and effort!”
Charlie, equally exhilarated, chimed in, “Inspector Lee’s brilliance shines through! Your insights have illuminated our path forward!”
He then proposed, “I suggest adding a few additional filters. For instance, companies situated more than 100 kilometers from an airport should be excluded. The Warriors Den operates globally and values mobility. Lack of nearby airports would severely impede their logistical maneuvers.”
“Absolutely,” Jack concurred. “Apart from North America, Asia and Europe have relatively fewer airports. Incorporating this criterion could further slash our scope by over half.”
Charlie, struck by another idea, added, “We could also scrutinize the recruitment practices of these companies. The Dead Soldiers Station likely operates as a closed-loop system, recruiting internally. Companies without external recruitment postings should raise suspicion. While this isn’t foolproof, it could help pinpoint key suspects for closer examination.”
“Indeed,”Jack remarked, impressed. “Mr. Wade possesses remarkable investigative acumen.”
Modestly, Charlie interjected, “I’m merely an amateur compared to inspector Lee.”
Charlie concluded, “Now that we have a strategy, let’s initiate our actions. If there’s anything requiring my assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Jack nodded, outlining the investigation’s stages: “First, we gather information. Then, we filter it. Finally, we conduct on-site investigations.”
“The initial phase, information collection, is the most arduous. With countless industrial and mining companies worldwide, meticulous data compilation is imperative. Any oversight could render subsequent screening efforts futile.”
Marcus, responsible for the Evans’s external affairs, sighed, “The sheer volume of data is staggering. While connections may grant access to corporate information in some countries, acquiring data from most nations would necessitate online searches. Subsequent screening entails extensive manual comparison and verification.”
Jack agreed, acknowledging the daunting workload. “Undoubtedly, it’s labor-intensive, yet it offers a promising direction. It’s akin to finding a needle in a haystack but within manageable bounds.”
Undeterred, Samuel proclaimed, “Regardless of the workload, we must press on! Let’s allocate one billion US dollars for this endeavor!”
Charlie interjected, “Perhaps it’s not as daunting as we anticipate.”
All eyes turned to favonovel.com expectantly.
Charlie elaborated, “Al could streamline these tasks. With updated databases containing vast amounts of internet-sourced data, we can train AI to sift through the information, making our task more manageable.”
