After completing all this, Wu Hao piloted the small boat back and had the smart brain use the satellite phone obtained from Light to contact Mead, who was far away in the United States.

“Hello, Light, how did things go?” Mead, who received the call, thought Light was about to report the results of the mission, so he asked directly.

“Your people can’t come back. I want this matter to end here; otherwise, the consequences are yours to bear.” After saying this, Wu Hao discarded the satellite phone and quickly returned on the small boat.

“Mead, what happened?” Seeing Mead’s sudden change in expression after receiving the call, Will felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart.

“Will, the operation failed, and my people are probably dead.” Mead, after hearing silence on the phone and throwing it away, said to Will in a very somber tone.

“What exactly happened?” Will pressed for more information.

Mead immediately repeated what Wu Hao had said to him. Will was silent for a while after hearing this.

However, Mead now considered various factors, “Will, it’s clear that this matter has exceeded our control. Since the other party was able to easily deal with our people and openly warned us, they must have a powerful force behind them that both of us are aware of.”

“Although we have confirmed that the meteorite was taken by them, it’s best not to take any further action until we understand the force behind them. After all, for a meteorite with a potential huge value, attracting an unknown and powerful enemy is not in the best interest of our family.”

“You should understand the risks and rewards involved, so let’s wait until we investigate the true nature of the opposing force before making any plans.” With the situation at this point, Mead had to consider the overall interests of their family.

First, they didn’t know much about Wu Hao’s background. Additionally, the team sent to deal with Wu Hao was an elite squad, but it was quietly dealt with by Wu Hao. What kind of methods did Wu Hao use to accomplish this?

When a family’s power reaches the level of the Rothschilds, they must consider various factors when facing any situation. They are not afraid of powerful enemies, but they need to understand the gains and losses. If they engage in a direct confrontation without knowing the success rate and potential benefits, how could their family have lasted for hundreds of years, including surviving two world wars?

In fact, the occurrence of these two world wars was largely related to the Rothschild family, who, behind the scenes, instigated and initiated wars mainly to gain greater benefits for their family and eliminate their opponents, thus making their family stronger.

Given the current situation, Mead knew very little about Wu Hao and didn’t understand how Wu Hao managed to deal with his subordinates so quickly, leaving them no time to report back.

Furthermore, if they continued to act against Wu Hao, the final outcome might not be what they hoped for. If it was just over a meteorite and ended up attracting a powerful and unknown force, it would definitely be a case of getting less than what was bargained for.

“Mead, you’re right. This matter has indeed exceeded our control. I think we should report this truthfully to the family, and the final outcome will depend on the internal discussions of the higher-ups.”

“However, regardless of the result, we must take the Oriental person from **** seriously.”

After a discussion, Will and Mead quickly made a decision, and they soon returned to their respective families, bringing this brief alliance to an end.

However, this joint operation had caused significant losses for the Rothschild family, as the value of an elite squad was evident. Of course, this loss was negligible compared to the overall strength of the Rothschild family.

On the other hand, when Wu Hao reunited with his parents and the rest of the group, everyone saw that he had safely returned in just over ten minutes and did not ask many more questions.

However, as a security personnel, Shen Lin had different thoughts. He knew that Wu Hao’s solo trip must have had some specific purpose and that he did not want them to see it, though they were unaware of the details.

A few hours later, Wu Hao, through Zero’s surveillance of Will and Mead, learned their plans and realized that neither family would take action against him in the short term.

At least until they thoroughly investigated the forces behind him, there wouldn’t be any major changes. But how easy was it to investigate Wu Hao’s background? With the smart brain providing cover in the network world, the mixed information would be enough to confuse those investigating him.

So, finding out Wu Hao’s true situation was virtually impossible, as he had no real force behind him, at least for now.

As time passed, during the subsequent journey, since the Dupont and Rothschild families did not cause any trouble and Wu Hao accompanied his family throughout, they didn’t encounter any troublesome issues during their European trip and the final days in Dubai.

So, this trip with Wu Hao accompanying his family was relatively successful. After returning home, Wu Hao didn’t stay long. He only stayed for a day, told his parents that he might be busy for a while, and then left them to secretly head to the Qinling Mountains.

The day after Wu Hao left home, a few people with special identities arrived at Wu Hao’s hometown to find him.

However, they were informed that Wu Hao had already left, which made these special agents from **** make a wasted trip.

These special individuals were notable because they were from the **** National Security Agency. The National Security Agency of **** was quite unfamiliar to ordinary citizens of ****.

Unlike the United States, where various power agencies and intelligence departments like the CIA and FBI are well-known worldwide, the National Security Agency of **** was not.
