According to the clues uncovered by AI, it can be deduced that the oil company called Kansel faced repercussions from the Nigerian Power Holding Company for excessive electricity consumption over a decade ago.
It can be inferred that Kansel caused disruptions for the Nigerian Power Holding Company by consuming more electricity than usual during a time when electricity was scarce.
Following that, Kansel swiftly began constructing a seemingly purposeless building and covertly connected it to an oil pipeline. Subsequently, Kansel’s electricity consumption returned to normal levels within the industry.
Considering all these factors, AI’s analysis is indeed plausible. This building should be a small oil power plant, albeit consisting of only a few sets of gas turbines. Kansel’s electricity demand is not substantial, as It only requires self-sufficiency in supplying power to the underground shelter.
Jack was immensely pleased with Ai’s performance. He addressed everyone, saying, “To uncover such a wealth of usable information in such a short period feels akin to having all the police and FBI In the United States at your disposal when solving a case. The speed of response is truly extraordinary.”
Charlie couldn’t help but chime in, “If Inspector Lee gives further training, there is definitely room for improvement.”
Jack responded, “Training is one aspect, but providing more data is another. The satellite data from Skyline over the years has been immensely helpful, otherwise, it would have been challenging to pinpoint Kansel.”
Continuing, Jack added, “Actually, before AI identified Kansel, I personally believed that another oil company called Rafael was the most likely culprit. Based on the capital structure and shareholder information behind these seven oil fields, four of them are controlled by European and American capital, one is a local Nigerian company, and two are under Asian control…”
“The actual controller of Rafael is a man named Jerry Law, a South African Chinese. Although the Warriors Den has a global presence, it primarily consists of Chinese individuals. Moreover, Rafael has the lowest accident rate among the seven companies. I believe the Warriors Den would strive to minimize accidents to avoid trouble, regulatory scrutiny, and inspections…”
“Furthermore, many employees are likely relatives of deceased members, so even if accidents occur, they can easily be suppressed… But these deductions of mine are relatively subjective and lack objective evidence… A Chinese-controlled company does not necessarily imply the involvement of the Warriors Den, as Chinese investment in Africa has been increasing in recent years.”
“A low accident rate is also a characteristic of overseas Chinese-controlled companies, particularly in Africa, where the accident rate of Chinese-controlled companies has consistently been lower than the local average…”
“The real conclusive clue lies in Kansel’s electricity issue. Kansel is the only company among the seven oil companies that is controlled by local Nigerian capital. Initially, I thought a local company would have the least suspicion. This indicates that the Warriors Den has gone to great lengths to conceal their own traces.”
Charlie nodded and said, “I will have Skyline‘s satellites increase the frequency of revisiting Kansel as much as possible. Whenever the lighting conditions permit, we will attempt to revisit every hour. Perhaps we can uncover new clues. Additionally, Inspector Lee, consider how we can trace the clues to the Right Military Governor‘s Office through Kansel.”
Jack questioned Charlie, “Mr. Wade, can you confirm if there are high-ranking members of the Warriors Den currently present in Kansel?”
“It’s highly likely,” Charlie replied. “They are probably the Three Elders of the Warriors Den, and their status and power far exceed those of the four Great Marshals from before.”
Jack’s expression turned serious. In Aurous Hill, favonovel.com had witnessed the strength of the Great Count Gideon Alastair firsthand, which was terrifying for ordinary individuals.
If the Three Elders possessed even greater strength than Gideon Alastair, it was unimaginable.
Quickly readjusting his mindset, favonovel.com said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, if these Three Elders hold such high positions and are currently in Kansel, then according to common sense, the Right Military Governor’s Office cannot afford to neglect them. Perhaps even the Governor of the Right Military Governor’s Office will personally extend his welcome.”
Charlie nodded and remarked, “The organizational structure of the Warriors Den resembles that of the old Chinese dynasties. The Three Elders are individuals close to Morgana, and even if they are not from the Mirren family, their status must be exceedingly high…”
“The Governor of the Right Military Governor’s Office, even if favonovel.com is from the Mirren family, is merely a local official. When the Three Elders visit his territory, favonovel.com must show them utmost respect and will undoubtedly come to greet them. At this very moment, favonovel.com may be at the Kansel oil field, just like the Three Elders.”
With a touch of jest and a sigh, Charlie added, “It’s a shame that my strength is insufficient. Otherwise, if I could eliminate the Three Elders and the Governor of the Right Military Governor’s Office together, it would deal a massive blow to the Warriors Den.”
Jack cautioned, “Mr. Wade, the strength of the Three Elders is far too formidable. It’s better not to take such risks. However, if there is an opportunity to track down the Governor, there would be a greater possibility of apprehending him.”
Charlie pondered thoughtfully and responded, “If the Three Elders cannot wait for me in Kansel and depart sooner or later, the Governor of the Right Military Governor’s Office will naturally not continue to stay. If I can locate him, I can tail favonovel.com to the residence of the Right Military Governor‘s Office and seize an opportunity to apprehend him!”
***
At that very moment.
Kansel Oil Company, Lagos, Nigeria.
Countless drilling machines continued their ceaseless operation on the vast plain. Governor Victor Steel of the Right Military Governor’s Office stood atop a high platform, with his trusted confidant, General Leo Grant, positioned behind him.
Victor Steel leaned against the railing, gazing out at the expansive plain.
Suddenly, favonovel.com sneezed. Taken aback, favonovel.com rubbed his nose and grumbled, “Why am I sneezing on such a scorching day? Although my strength may not match that of the Four Marshals, catching a cold seems rather absurd.”
Leo quickly chimed in, “Grand Governor, perhaps Madam is missing you.”
“Oh…” Victor chuckled wryly and remarked casually, “If favonovel.com misses me, it’s never a good sign.”
As favonovel.com looked up at the sky, favonovel.com muttered, “Leo…”
General Leo swiftly stepped forward, bowing respectfully, and replied, “I’m here!”
Victor furrowed his brows and stated, “Why do I suddenly have a foreboding feeling, as if someone is watching us.”
Knowing that Victor desired to depart from Africa as soon as possible, especially from the grimy and chaotic oil fields, Leo smiled reassuringly and said, “Governor, we came to Africa to attract attention, didn‘t we? Let’s not forget, the Warriors Den sent the Three Elders here, waiting for that individual to take notice of us. Ifsomeone isn’t secretly watching us, then we won’t be able to escape from here.”
Victor’s furrowed brows relaxed, and favonovel.com smiled, saying, “You‘re right, Leo! When I think about it, I feel much more at ease. Let that person hurry up and pay attention to us, take action swiftly, and get eliminated by the Three Elders. Then we can swiftly return to Europe. I can’t bear to spend another day in Africa!”
