Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Delaware was the first state to join the United States and is known as the First State.

Although the area is very small, the historical density is incredibly high. Ancient Native Americans lived here 1.2 years ago.

In the modern colonial era, this place also became the starting point of colonization. In 1609, Hudson discovered Delaware Bay, which marked the beginning of the European colonial era.

In the centuries that followed, Sweden, the Netherlands, and England took turns participating in this grand event. First, they united to fight the natives, and then they began to fight amongst themselves. After the famous Duke of York drove out the Dutch, he leased the place to the Lord of Pennsylvania.

Two families from Pennsylvania and Maryland fought a legal battle over the state of Delaware for centuries, even extending into the founding of the United States, with the boundaries between the states not being successfully demarcated until 1921.

In short, after many twists and turns, this place became an independent colony, and the famous Battle of Couch Bridge was fought in Delaware.

Subsequently, this became the first place to fly the Stars and Stripes in the air.

Despite its small size, Delaware boasts a strong economy thanks to its historical significance, but its biggest pillar is not the former chemical giant DuPont.

It relies on the legal industry in the company's registered location. More than 50% of the listed companies in the United States are registered here, and 70% of the Fortune 500 companies in the world have branches here.

A total of 180 million businesses are located here, and business registration fees alone account for 2% of the state's annual revenue. Add to that taxes from various franchises, and the total can reach half of the state's revenue.

All of this is thanks to the Delaware Court of Chancery, established in 1792, which does not have a jury and instead has professional judges adjudicate corporate law cases. Compared to other states where a single trial can take years, Delaware typically completes a judgment within a few months.

With various tax breaks and exemptions, it has become a small financial hub, with Bank of America, Chase, Barclays, Capital One, HSBC and others setting up their U.S. headquarters for credit card businesses in Wilmington.

Incidentally, there are also many trust offices serving the old money family.

Wilmington Trust, founded in 1903 by the then president of DuPont and head of the DuPont family, has been responsible for managing the DuPont family’s growing wealth.

Initially, the company simply operated its offices in the dining room of the DuPont family's private residence.

They didn't move into the DuPont Building until 1907. Of course, that was the name back then. As the surrounding buildings became newer, the old building was renamed and is now a tourist attraction.

As times changed, Wilmington Trust gradually became more professional and was no longer directly managed by the DuPont family, changing its name to Rockford Trust.

The company not only provides services to DuPont, but is also a trustee of many old money families.

A three-story old building next to Rodney Plaza in Wilmington has no company sign on the outside, but it has hundreds of employees inside who serve dozens of old money families across the United States, helping them with compliance services.

American trusts have become quite professional. As trustees, they only provide legal status; investment advisors and allocation advisors are separate entities. They are only responsible for legal compliance issues.

As the sun was setting, several employees were already discussing what to have for dinner. Their jobs seemed prestigious, but they were actually quite boring, and they spent most of their time slacking off.

At that moment, the door was kicked open, and dozens of soldiers wearing exoskeletons rushed in.

The blonde receptionist was completely stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that these people had no intention of stopping and continued walking towards the third floor.

She thought about it for a moment, but still didn't dare to take out her phone to call the police.

Forget it, with such a big commotion, someone will probably call the police. I'd better just lower my head and pretend I didn't see anything.

In reality, calling the police wouldn't have been of much use. The police had already noticed such a large-scale operation, but they were all quite sensible and sent several police cars to watch from the sidelines, and even helped disperse the onlookers.

In the company president's office, the head of the trust company was somewhat confused when he saw the soldiers rushing in: "You? What do you want?"

The leading soldier made no attempt to conceal his intentions, stating bluntly: "We are from Dover Air Force Base. We received orders from Aurora to come here to warn you that you must submit your resignations before the end of the day, resigning from your positions as trustees of the DuPont Lifetime Trust."

The president, who was in the trust business and familiar with all sorts of intricacies, quickly realized that DuPont had offended someone.

Moreover, they are people the aging DuPont family cannot afford to offend; they are people who can uproot the entire DuPont family.

He could only think of two people who would treat the soldiers at Dover Air Force Base as their private army: Aurora and the President.

He couldn't afford to offend either of them, and after a brief three-second hesitation, he nodded decisively.

"Don't worry, I'll draft the document right away. We're all professionals. Give us ten minutes and we can get it done."

The soldier nodded in satisfaction, then stood aside watching the president draft the documents.

The president frowned, thinking of the company's predecessor, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to leave any backdoors on paper.

All I can say is sorry to the founders, the DuPont family. It's not that he's spineless, it's just that the other side looks too strong. These are soldiers from Dover Air Force Base.

Dover Air Force Base is the largest U.S. military base in Delaware, but it is quite unique, and may even be the most unique military facility in the entire United States.

This is home to the 436th Airlift Wing, with over 6 active-duty military personnel and civilian employees. It is the Department of Defense's largest and busiest air cargo terminal. It houses a large number of C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft, these behemoths capable of carrying six Apache helicopters, earning them the nickname "winged warehouses."

Of course, these are not the most special things about this base. What makes it special is that Dover Air Force Base houses the Charles Carson Funeral Service Center, the largest military morgue in the United States and a major entry point for the remains of American soldiers killed overseas to return home.

Almost every American soldier who died overseas had to fly back to Delaware first.

Every year, the soldiers here hold countless solemn handover ceremonies on the tarmac, watching coffins draped with the national flag being unloaded from transport planes.

This gave the base soldiers a great deal of psychological stress. Although most of them had never actually been to the front lines, the proportion of them developing psychological problems was not much lower than that of the soldiers on the front lines.

After the aurora appeared, various advanced weapons and preferential treatment for veterans quickly led this military base, which resembled a funeral home, to align itself with the right side.

Although they had never been to the front lines, the soldiers at this base had an exceptionally strong desire for military power. They hoped that Aurora's advanced weaponry could reduce casualties and then wipe out any disobedient countries.

Upon receiving the order from Aurora, the base commander did not hesitate and immediately dispatched soldiers into the city to begin arresting people.

In addition to those seeking institutional trustees, investment advisors were also patronized.

The top two floors of an office building on Market Street in downtown Wilmington.

Munchausen Partnership is the entity responsible for the DuPont family's investments; it is a very low-profile family office company.

There's no sign here, not even a front desk.

With forty or fifty employees, they still follow tradition and leave almost no trace on electronic devices.

The resistance here was slightly stronger; a few bolder employees even tried to destroy the documents with lighters.

However, more than a hundred soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor simply swatted them away and then looted the archives.

Copies of the trust agreement, all distribution resolutions, a list of 3500 beneficiaries and distribution records over the years, and all dealings with the trust company and law firm.

The captain called over a soldier and asked, "Aren't you a law student? Look at this. Weren't we supposed to be arresting investment advisors? Why are there so many assignment documents? Weren't the assignment of advisors supposed to be handled by another department, and that Aurora's people were personally arresting them?"

"This is so complicated, it's all a mess. How come everything is here? Is something wrong?"

A short soldier came over, took a look, and said with a sneer, "This is pure old money. In principle, investment and distribution should be completely separated, otherwise the trust will be broken."

But the DuPont family, with over a century of history, is far more established than those nouveau riche families that have only been around for seventy or eighty years. No one can approach them with these legal issues.

"We'll just report it; let's not let the aurora hunters come up empty-handed."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll report it to them and let them know."

By the time their message reached the Aurora Security Force, they had already surrounded the DuPont residence.

Upon receiving the message, the captain waved his hand and told his men, "It's alright, just go for it. Who cares about these advisors? We have to catch them all! Go!"
