Charlie’s pupils constricted when he thought of this. He immediately asked Lucian, “What happened twenty years ago that would make your British Lord execute thousands of people directly?!”
Lucian shook his head blankly. “I don’t know the specific reason... I only know that the British Lord was furious at their failure at the time, so he killed them...”
Charlie raised his brows and asked coldly, “Do you know where they met their defeat, then?”
Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”
Charlie thought of what Lucian had mentioned about the five military governor offices earlier and how the one responsible for Asian affairs within the Qing Eliminating Society was the Central Military Governor Office. So, he asked him, “Which military governor’s office was the one that experienced defeat? Was it the Central Military Governor Office?”
Lucian shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but I’m certain that it’s not the Right Military Governor Office.”
With that said, Lucian added, “In truth, I don’t know how many Qing Eliminating Society’s dead soldiers’ bases similar to the Cyprus copper mines exist in the whole world. I don’t even know how many bases there are under the command of the Right Military Governor Office where I belong. This information is completely isolated internally. I only know that there are the Left Military Governor Office, the Central Military Governor Office, the Front Military Governor Office, and the Rear Military Governor Office, but I don’t know who is in charge of the other four military governor’s offices or their specific size...”
Charlie’s heart sank again when he heard this.
He could not be certain whether the Qing Eliminating Society’s failure from twenty years ago that Lucian had mentioned was related to his parent’s death.
