Chapter 782: An Old Friend

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_

“At 9:00 yesterday morning, the Xin Energy National Energy Administration held a press conference to announce that Xin will build the first nuclear power plant on Coro Island to ease the increasingly tense power pressures on the island. At present, the project has been approved by IAEA. Celestial Trade will be responsible for the construction of the plant. At noon today, Country F expressed its strong condemnation against Xin’s nuclear power plant, calling it a conspiracy of Celestial Trade in the development of nuclear weapons, which will further worsen the situation in Southeast Asia.”

“In response to this, the Celestial Trade Spokesperson responded that Xin’s development of civil nuclear technology is legitimate and legal. In addition, the nuclear power plant will use a light water reactor rather than a heavy water reactor that can permanently produce Uranium-239.”

“It is expected that the nuclear power plant will be completed before the end of this year. According to the details of the project disclosed by Celestial, Coro Island Nuclear Power Plant will be responsible for 59% of Xin’s electricity demands after completion and replace the thermal power station on the island.”

“On the development of civil nuclear technology for Xin, the Capitol spokesman stated that the UA was surprised at the rash decision taken by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but just this morning, a Senate member who asked not to be named stated that they had already debated over the small country in the Western Pacific for ten hours. The debate wasn’t only between the two parties, but there were also different voices within the Democratic Party. This situation is rare…”

“The Hua side supports Xin’s development of civil nuclear technology. Enjoying the convenience of nuclear energy within the framework of peace is the power of people around the world. Russia is not concerned about the situation in the Pacific…”

Because civil nuclear fuel was difficult to convert into weapon-grade fuel, even if it had to be converted, it would be at a great cost. It would not be worth the effort in all respects. Therefore, only the core technologies and materials such as military nuclear fuel and centrifuges were controlled internationally, and the famous “Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty” merely limited military nuclear technology.

Although this was the case, legally building a nuclear power plant still required approval from the IAEA.

Whether or not a nuclear power plant could be legally owned would test the strength of a country’s diplomacy and its scientific and technological strength. After the latter absorbed hundreds of thousands of immigrants, Xin already possessed this capability. However, the former was quite lacking in the country that had just completed a change in regime.

If Jiang Chen could use a useless Golden Apple to exchange this diplomatic achievement from the hands of Freemasonry, he wouldn’t lose out in the trade at all.

Just three days after Celestial Trade announced the beginning of construction of the nuclear power plant, a private plane from Germany landed at the Coro Island airport.

At the invitation of Jiang Chen, Carmen Rothschilds personally made a trip.

When they met, both sides remained silent about the unhappiness that occurred in the South Pole. The mercenaries killed five “Sea Lions,” and Jiang Chen slaughtered the mercenaries sent by the Freemasonry, although the Freemasonry didn’t understand how Jiang Chen did it. Logically speaking, Celestial?Trade shouldn’t have deployed its troops in Antarctica beforehand.

At the airport of Coro Island, Jiang Chen stood at the airport runway next to Ayesha in a suit, and behind them were several bodyguards wearing sunglasses.

Ayesha’s case contained the treasure the Rothschilds family and the entire Freemasonry longed for.

The Golden Apple that could communicate with the future.

Although it no longer could.

Behind Carmen was still the same bodyguard; Jiang Chen remembered his name was Johnson. In addition to this bodyguard, Jiang Chen also saw the old butler of Balv manor, Ccides.

“We meet again, my old friend.” Carmen smiled.

“Yeah, old friend.” Jiang Chen smiled on his face, but he emphasized the word “friend.”

Ayesha, who saw Jiang Chen’s approval, handed over the suitcase.

When Johnson saw it, he wanted to grab it for his boss, but he was stopped by Carmen.

Carmen accepted the suitcase, opened the box, and a smile emerged when he saw the Golden Apple inside.

Ccides stepped forward and picked up the Golden Apple with white gloves. He removed the ring-sized magnifying glass from his pocket and studied it for a while before returning it to the suitcase. He whispered a few words beside Jiang Chen before he stepped behind Carmen again.

“Is the appraisal work done?” Jiang Chen, who had been observing next to him, grinned.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang Chen is sincere. It seems that our deal is done.”

Speaking with a smile, Carmen extended his right hand.

“Since you already know it, I won’t hide it. I am a level 33 member of the Freemasonry. If you are willing to join us, you would also be a level 33.”

For level 32 Scottish affiliates, based on their contributions to the Freemasonry or the community, they could be upgraded to 33 as the highest council level. This symbolized the highest glory of the Freemasonry and was generally granted only to the people in the world with extensive influence.

For example, a banker holding trillions of capital, or a certain country’s president…

“I’ll pass. I’m an atheist,” Jiang Chen responded indifferently and shook his hand.

“That’s really regrettable.” Carmen shrugged.

Refusing as an atheist was just an excuse. Freemasonry had long been categorized as a religious organization, but it wasn’t limited by race or skin color.?Since Jiang Chen didn’t want to join, Carmen didn’t insist again.

After accepting the Golden Apple from Jiang Chen, Carmen didn’t make any further stops. After bidding farewell, he took off again.

Watching Rothschild’s departure, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.

“Ayesha.”

“Yes.”

“Order the Ghost Agents in Europe to find someone for me.”

“Who?”

“Evelyn, vice president of Frankberg.” With a short pause, Jiang Chen then added, “Or the former vice president.”

Jiang Chen saved his life when he participated in the auto show. Although he didn’t know whether he is still alive now, perhaps he could become the breaking point to defeat the Rothschild family.

“Roger,” Ayesha whispered.

Although the deal was completed successfully, a grudge must’ve been established.?At this stage, exploration of the Antarctic fortress and research on the Golden Apple would surely hamper Freemasonry’s energy. And once they freed their hands or found out they expended so much political resources only for a useless rotten apple, they would certainly do some unpleasant things to Future Group.

Jiang Chen didn’t know how long this timeframe might be, but he had to make sufficient preparations before this to deal with the Freemasonry that had enough power to control the political situation in the UA, and the richest family in the world…

After his meeting with Rothschild, Jiang Chen also returned home and headed to the mansion in the apocalypse.

With his dealings with the Golden Apple coming to an end, he now had more important things to address.

For example, the antimatter…
