These lines actually aren’t scales, but rather they indicate the directions where they are located.


    The big circle signifies the ce where mom is, while the small circle refers to him.


    He believes that as soon as mom sees this painting, she will definitely understand his meaning, because it’s a little secret between them as mother and son.


    After the n was ready, it was time to put it into action.


    Oliver immediately had them bring over wax paper, drew several geometric ciphers, folded them into the shape of little boats, and released them into the river.


    Watching the little boatsden with secrets being carried away by the river, Oliver’s heart was filled with anticipation.


    “I hope mom can receive my message smoothly.”


    Inside a secret room of the Prison of the Apocalypse, Jaelynn and Hayden were having a video conference with a third mysterious partner.


    The projector cast the image onto the wall, showing a man in a different space.


    He was sitting on a European leather sofa, wearing a white bathrobe and holding a ss of red wine with an elegant posture.


    Seeing this, Hayden gave a wry smile and said, “Master Sam, you’re reallyfortable, just sitting on the sofa and giving orders.”


    “How pitiful for me and General Jaelynn, having to endure the heat and threats of snakes in this godforsaken ce.”


    The man on the screen was Sam.


    Hearing Hayden’sints, he sipped his red wine nonchntly before speaking.


    “You think I’m at ease?”


    “Den seems to trust me, but in reality, all significant powers are held by his cronies, and every step I take is like walking on thin ice.”


    “Cut the crap, let’s talk directly about the current situation on Dragon Serpent Isle.”


    Jaelynn spoke first, informing Hayden of the situation.


    “Hold on, there’s no change on the ind for now, but we’ve had some serious internal issues-let’s talk about that first.”


    Hearing this, Sam shifted to a morefortable position, asking Jaelynn what exactly was going on.


    “It all started when Mr. Lara captured Kelvin and Cheyenne,” Jaelynn angrily stated that it would have been sufficient to just kill those two troublesome individuals, but Mr. Lara chose to childishly make a bet with that woman.


    Now, after losing two rounds of a best-of-three challenge, they hadpletely lost face as hosts!


    Mr. Lara frowned slightly, displeased with Jaelynn and considering such tattling behavior childish.


    “The reason I agreed to the game was to gauge their strength, suspecting that if they had aplices on the ind, they would definitely attempt a rescue during this period.”


    That way, they could capture their aplices at once.


    If not, those people were doomed anyway, being held in the Tiger Cage where escape was impossible.


    “Yes, but these days we haven’t seen anyoneing for a rescue, instead, we lost Hassan.”


    “I think your pointless test can end now, let me just shoot Kelvin and Cheyenne and avoid furtherplications!”


    No sooner had Jaelynn spoken than Sam interrupted her coldly.


    “You can make a fuss as you like, but let me make myself clear, you are not to touch those two!”


    This was the first time in years that they had seen Sam so resolute.


    The two were consequently startled, standing there dumbfounded.


    Then Jaelynn expressed her iprehension.


    “Why? You hate him too, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have chosen to work with us, if not for avenging that past day!”


    To which Sam responded.


    “Because you aren’t worthy of dealing with him! Kelvin is my opponent, only I can kill him!”


    There is no direct conflict between Hayden and Kelvin, and they were not very familiar with each other before.


    But Hayden did not agree to let Kelvin leave the ind alive.


    “I thought we had been getting along very well for the past three years, Master Sam, you are too harsh with your words.”


    “General Jaelynn is also helping you deal with your enemies. We are considering your aversion to killing.”


    To Hayden’s surprise, Sam’s attitude was very firm.


    “I said, you are not allowed to harm them in any way. Two dayster, in the third round… I will personally appear and deal with him!”


    “If you don’t want our cooperation to break down, then let’s avoid this topic and talk about another n.”


    When Hayden heard this, he knew that Sam was already angry, and discussing further was useless.


    So he decisively changed the subject.


    “Okay.”


    Jaelynn, who was personally pped by Sam, was angry inside.


    He seemed to have no respect for elders, and did not give her any respect.


    Just a dog from a bereaved family?


    How arrogant!


    When she took over sessfully, the Weaver family would definitely control the entire Che. Then she would see how Sam would struggle!


    Jaelynn could only take a deep breath and admonish herself in her heart-


    Endure a moment for peace.


    “Let’s talk about the business. The people who are bewitched by parasites have been sessfully trained, totaling 4000 people.”


    “Among them, there are 300 elite troops, who are extremely powerful and have no sense of pain to lead the vanguard.”


    “I still have twenty thousand troops under mymand, stationed in nearby Brewood.”


    She had heard that Abel would attend a five-country conference next month, with the meeting ce in Jadence. After the meeting, one of the scheduled activities was to visit Dragon Bay.


    “Dragon Bay, what a good name. Even if he is a dragon, he will only perish when hees here.”


    Jaelynn sneered.


    “The n is to have our people depart from Brewood when Abel’s ship arrives at Dragon Bay and surround him there.”


    Dragon Bay is always windy and wavy, especially at the location of the dragon’s tail, where the waves are even higher.


    They upied a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were also well prepared. Abel would definitely not react in time and be captured.


    After hearing her entire n, Sam asked only one question.


    “Dragon Serpent Isle is far from Dragon Bay. How do you transport these 4000 people there?”


    “Preparing so many boats and nes will definitely create a lot of noise.”


    When the president goes abroad, the elite bodyguards around him are like a solid wall of copper. Their safety is guaranteed.


    It is feared that before their people even set off, the other party already knows.


    Hayden and Jaelynn had already thought of a solution to this issue.


    “There is a railway track on Dragon Serpent Isle left by the Fustroydor people in the past.”


    “This track connects Dragon Serpent Isle, Strille, Brewood, and Encevine Ind.”


    They had repaired the abandoned green iron train long ago, and it was hidden in the abandoned power nt.


    Departing from the power nt, using the train to transport these 4000 people to Dragon Bay would take about four hours.


    Because it looks the same as the local passenger trains, it would not attract attention.


    Sam stirred the red wine in his cup thoughtfully, his long and deep-set eyes shining brightly.


    After a while, he lightly opened his lips and answered slowly, “I understand. Regarding the financial aspect… I will propose it to Mr. Gilliam.”


    Over the past five years, training the parasite people, building infrastructure on the ind, and training soldiers in Brewood required a lot of money.


    And the person providing them with financial support behind the scenes was Den.


    Of course, a cunning person like Den would not do anything out of kindness.


    His help came with conditions.


    On one hand, he let Jaelynn use her power to cover up his illegal activities, such as smuggling oil.


    On the other hand, he was trafficking women and children within Che to help him raise the parasite people.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    In Vrisa, he was a renowned businessman;


    In the overseas Chinesemunity, he was a respected patriotic figure;


    But in Sam’s eyes, he was a hypocritical pseudo-gentleman because he didn’t know how many people were harmed.


    Ironically, despite his two-faced nature, the victims still foolishly worshipped him.


    He promised to help Jaelynn seize power andunch a coup, with the condition that she hand over the oil purchasing rights of the entire Che to him.


    Oil is the lifeblood of industry.


    Once he controlled the oil, it would be equivalent to the Gilliam family controlling the entire Che industrial sector.


    Industry is the foundation of a country. If the industry is unstable, it will lead to an economic crisis.


    Back in the day, the global crisis led many countries to bankruptcy.


    If Jaelynn sessfully seized power, it may seem like she seeded, but in reality, Den would be the biggest beneficiary because she would only hold a token presidential position, while the lifeline would be in the hands of the Gilliam family.


    What about Hayden?
