The next morning, Emma arrived at JFK International Airport.
With an anxious mood, she stood at the exit of the airport's special passage in a white dress. She looked around and looked at her watch from time to time. Almost as soon as the hour hand stopped at nine o 'clock, a Luer stopped next to her.
A blonde woman wearing sunglasses and a suit pushed open the car door and walked towards her.
Taking off her sunglasses and hanging them on her collar, Bernice looked Emma up and down.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Watson?"
"Yes … you are?"
"Bernice, this is my business card." With a business card between two fingers, Bernice coolly handed it to Emma's hand. "Jiang Chen had something to do today, so he returned early."
Emma took the business card and looked at it.
This business card was very interesting. On the black surface, there were six grid-like patterns. When her finger pressed on it, she could see the "stand up" image and text. Except for the name Bernice, there was no other information. She didn't even know if it was her first or last name.
"In other words … I was stood up?" Emma raised an eyebrow and asked with uncertainty.
"Of course not." Bernice rolled up her sleeves, looked at her watch, and said, "There will be a flight from JFK Airport to the UA Virgin Islands in about twenty minutes. If you are interested, you can go with me. I have already prepared a first-class ticket for you. "
Out of concern for the children, Emma hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
In addition to Bernice, there were two women in suits. They looked like employees of Celestial Trade, but they gave her a special feeling … They didn't look like the kind of white-collar workers working in a company, but they were somewhat different from the soldiers who acted fiercely.
Emma and Bernice hid all the questions in her heart and boarded the flight to the UA Virgin Islands together.
After about an hour of flight, the group of people got off the plane at the airport of the UA Virgin Islands. At the gate of the airport, there were already two Lincoln limousines waiting there. An old man in a suit and bow tie opened his arms in the distance and greeted them with a smile.
However, Bernice didn't hug him. She simply shook hands with him and showed him the relevant documents.
"I'm here for Mr. Jiang. This is the auction voucher and the letter of entrustment."
"Okay, Ms. Bernice, please follow me to the car."
With a slight bow, the old man gestured to the Lincoln limousine next to him.
After the group got in the car, they drove on the road for about an hour, then changed to a medium-sized yacht at the dock on the east coast of the main island, and soon arrived at the small island on the map.
The facilities on the island were desolate, with only a rustic boathouse, a wooden villa, and an old church. On one side were high cliffs, and on the other a pleasant beach.
The orphans were placed in that church, and the elderly nuns were in charge of their meals, as well as correcting their erroneous beliefs. In addition, there were also people who were responsible for teaching them how to read, count, and some simple common sense, as well as some knowledge that ordinary people wouldn't be able to use … or rather, "postures."
After briefly explaining the situation on the island to Bernice, the old man who was responsible for bringing them here bowed slightly and left with his people. From this moment on, the "owner" of the island, the facilities on the island, and the more than one hundred orphans on the island were transferred from a private charity foundation to Jiang Chen himself.
Because it was in the name of charity, the owner of the island only needed to pay less than half a million US Virgin Islands management fees per year. As for the orphans, they weren't UA citizens at all, so naturally, no one would care about their life and death.
When the door of the church was pushed open, the orphans were in class.
Perhaps they noticed the stranger standing outside, the little angels were curiously looking in their direction.
Looking at the childish faces, Emma's expression was obviously a bit unbearable. Bernice didn't go in and disturb their class. She only talked to the old nun responsible for the place, then made a few calls to Ghost Island before returning to Emma.
"What are you going to do with them?" Emma looked at Bernice and asked.
"From the moment they were sent here, they were destined to never return to their original society. The society can't adapt to them, and they can't adapt to this society either, so we provide them with another choice, "Bernice said.
"Choice?" Emma was stunned.
"That's right." Bernice nodded and said expressionlessly, "The boss didn't tell me how much I can reveal to you, so I can only tell you this. I can assure you that what you are worried about will not happen. We won't do anything to them. Other than that, I have no comment. "
Looking at Emma's unyielding face, Emma swallowed the words she had prepared to persuade her to send the orphans to a proper shelter.
"It's still early. If you want, you can spend more time with these children."
"… No, I mainly came to confirm their safety … Now my purpose has been achieved." Emma shook her head, looked at Bernice seriously, and said with a bit of pleading in her voice, "I hope you can keep your promise and don't do cruel things to them."
Bernice nodded.
"Of course, I can promise this."
…
In order to consolidate the fruits of Celestial Trade's victory in North America, Jiang Chen supported a total of more than 30 families, spanning from economics to politics, and tied almost half of the upper class of North America to his own chariot.
In order to ensure that Celestial Trade's control of North America could be maintained for a long time, Ghost Agents must expand their scale and penetrate into all levels and fields of North America.
Jiang Chen had been thinking about this issue these days, and the photo he saw at the auction last night suddenly gave him an inspiration.
It was precisely because of this that he bought the orphanage.
In addition to the more than 100 orphans on the island, Celestial Trade would buy the entire nameless island from the UA Virgin Islands. Then in the name of charity foundations and orphanages, orphans from all over the world would be accommodated, and they would be systematically trained.
This place would become the second Ghost Island as Celestial Trade's intelligence center in the Western Hemisphere.
Of course, Jiang Chen, who was on the plane, naturally couldn't deal with this matter personally.
At about seven o 'clock in North America time, he received a call from the Celestial City Space Command Center. It was Calvin himself.
It was said that there was a major discovery at the outpost of Himalia.
Calvin didn't explain the significance of this discovery clearly on the phone, but he made a conservative estimate.
And even the most conservative estimate, this discovery would set off a revolution in the energy field …
