The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5027

Lucian’s explanation made Charlie feel even more puzzled about Vera’s identity.

He even had some regrets.

He regretted letting Vera and her grandfather go.

Although in his opinion, he had already used psychological hints on them, so Vera and her grandfather must not have hidden anything from him. However, he had been short of time at the time and had not had enough time and opportunity to ask more questions.

Still, it was too late for regrets now, and he could only ask for as much valuable content as possible from Lucian.

So, Charlie looked at Lucian and continued to interrogate him. “Do you know why the British Lord wanted to capture her? Is it for her as a person or for something she has on her?”

Lucian shook his head. “I’m not sure about this matter, and even my superiors in Turkey are not sure. We only knew that the mission could be assigned to the Right Military Governor Office, so it was a heavenly opportunity. If the mission had been successful, the British Lord would have given us a heavy reward, but unfortunately, it failed in the end.”

Charlie knew that Lucian could not be lying, so he asked him, “Do you know where the headquarters of the entire Qing Elimination Society is?”

“I don’t know.” Lucian shook his head and said, “I have never been to the headquarters at all. I’ve only been to Hubbert Battalion, but I’m not sure where Hubbert Battalion is.”

Lucian replied, “There are almost three hundred tons of food and drugs as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition, clothing, and daily necessities. There are also various living materials needed by the dead soldiers such as supplies for the air and water purification equipment in addition to nearly five hundred tons of diesel.”

Charlie asked him, “Diesel fuel still needs to be shipped so far from Turkey?”

Lucian explained, “The public thinks that the copper mine only has a few hundred people who work and live there, but in truth, the number of people there is about three to four thousand people. It’s not just the huge material expenses and energy consumption that are also very large. The electricity for just three to four thousand people living below the mine is also very large. If we were to purchase electricity from the national grid in Cyprus, the energy consumption would be significantly higher than any other copper mine of the same size. Once there are people who are interested in checking this aspect of the data, they will be able to detect it easily, so the organization wants it to be a requirement for the base not to expose any clues.”

With that said, Lucian added, “We sent four large diesel generators from Turkey to the base to fulfill the energy consumption for these three to four thousand people. All their electricity needs are met through diesel power but if the diesel consumption in a copper mine is too large, people will also be suspicious. So, they need all the diesel provided by us. After the cargo ship docks, there is a special pipeline connected to the copper mine to pass the diesel fuel directly through the pipeline to complete the delivery.”
