LOGINPuzzled, Penny asked, "Wait, then what was Ms. Sweet talking about? I don't get it…""And you don't have to," Charlie shook his head, and asked, "So? How do you feel?"Penny really wasn't familiar with sexual relations, and Tanya's innuendos left her confused all the more. Still, she didn't press the issue as Charlie didn't bother to explain, and solemnly recalled, "Mr. Wade, as you had instructed, I didn't do anything to impede the alcohol flowing in my body. And it really felt like I gained a clearer depth in endoscopic ability, and my senses seemed to have sharpened too.""Did you find your Sea of Consciousness?" Charlie asked."Not yet," Penny replied, shaking his head. "Lady Griffin once told me through the governor that I should try, but I just don't know how."Everyone had their own Sea of Consciousness, a boundless ocean within their divine sense.Dive beneath, and it's no different tapping into one's own unlimited potential.Most attain enlightenment before reaching t
As Charlie instructed, Penny allowed the alcohol to flow within her body.Even as she relished the sensation, she suddenly felt as if she had gained the endoscopic ability to look within her own body from a third-person viewpoint, watching as the energy gushed and pervaded.In the past, her endoscopic ability was at best amateurish and could not be improved. And yet, with the alcohol, she seemed to be able to direct her Reiki to follow the stream, and it was a whole new sensation to look inside herself.Still, even as she felt the kick of the alcohol, she thought she lacked the strength to follow up, but Charlie poured her another glass of Moutai before she could speak.Penny chugged it once more—feeling like an engine burning alcoholic spirits as fuel, eager to consume more just as she was about to run out.Beside her, Tanya was left gaping and she reached for the Moutai bottle before she knew it."53 percent?!" She exclaimed in shock. "And you're drinking it like water! You r
Tanya laughed. "Mr. Wade, can Ms. Singer hear you when you're talking so softly? The walls are especially soundproofed in hotels…"And yet, she barely finished when a door opened and Penny stepped out, asking shyly, "I've never drunk before, Mr. Wade…"Charlie exclaimed in surprise, "Never? Even after you become an adult?"Penny nodded sheepishly. "Father always said it affects mind, judgment, and cult—"She cut herself off, as she wanted to say cultivation, but remembered Tanya was there too.Charlie understood anyway, and smiled, "It's true that alcohol affects a person negatively as you put it. But on other occasions, it relaxes them, if not offering inspiration. There is also mental fatigue that can't be eased with physical rest, but a little rest can resolve it like a hot knife through butter."With those words, he poured a glass of red wine for Tanya and two glasses of Moutai, one for Penny and another for himself.Smiling, Charlie then said, "Alcohol can also be a form of
Charlie led Penny to the suite, but just as he opened the door, the door to the Presidential Suite down the hallway opened, and Tanya stepped out.Seeing Charlie, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Mr. Wade! Just the man I'm looking for!"Then, she turned to see the black-clad Penny, and was immediately drawn in by her atypical but stunning appearance. Still, she wasn't sure why Charlie would bring a woman to his suite this late at night.An extramarital affair? Or just a call girl?Charlie, however, remained calm as he said, "Ah, Tanya. This is Ms. Singer, my assistant."Penny was delighted to see Tanya and greeted her politely, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Sweet. I'm a fan!"Tanya nodded politely and came to shake her hand. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Singer."Still, she was puzzled even as she said those words.Feng Shui consultant was just a cover and not a real job—why bring an assistant?For his part, Charlie didn't explain himself, instead opening the door and telling Penny, "Your
Penny was right—from a certain point of view, Charlie was keeping secrets from his wife just like the men in the Singer family.However, he wasn't that cold. Even if he had a child with Claire, he was not going to simply disappear on her.Still, seeing that Charlie was quiet, Penny realized that she had made an inappropriate comparison and quickly explained, "Sorry, Mr. Wade. I'm really not good with words. Please don't take offense."Charlie chuckled self-deprecatingly. "No, you don't have to apologize. What you said was true."Seeing the troubled look on Charlie's face, Penny didn't press the issue, having a hunch that Charlie had his own problems.They soon arrived downtown, and Penny had been taking in the sights as he drove to Luketown's Shangri-la, where Tanya and her crew were staying, too.Parking the BMW, Charlie then led Penny to the elevator, which took them straight to the top-floor suites.She had Isaac arrange a 300-square-meter luxury suite, with two deluxe rooms
Seeing how nervous Penny was, Charlie smiled, "Ms. Singer. You seem more wary than before, but you really don't have to worry. This is Oskia. No one's going to hurt you here."Penny nodded, hearing that alluring voice and that assuring smile.Still, she knew that Charlie had misunderstood. She wasn't wary because of the unfamiliar surroundings, but the fact that their status had changed significantly, along with her opinion of him.Being too dense emotionally to understand that, Charlie simply decided they had no reason to stay and told Penny, "Get in the car. We can talk on the way."Penny quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Wade."As Charlie opened the front door for her before she could reach it, her heart raced and her cheeks blushed harder as she got in.Once she sat, she had both her hands squeezed between her legs, more or less uneasy.After Charlie got on, he quickly drove out of the airbase and headed out to Luketown, asking, "Is this your first time being in Oskia, Ms. Singer?""
Charlie’s words made the man in front of him feel extremely fearful.He could not help but think of the bloodbath a few hours ago when Charlie had turned him and his subordinates into cripples with just his own strength. He had never heard of this kind of devastating and terrifying strength before.Wh
Previously, she had bought the Emerald Goddess Dream necklace with the money Charlie had given her and won a grand prize worth 1.2 million dollars. Unexpectedly, Charlie had given her an identical necklace. So, as long as she went back and sold this necklace, this would be equivalent to her earning
However, Dillion had been out the entire afternoon, and he had not come back even after it had become so late. He could not get through to Dillion’s phone either, so this made him very anxious. Over the recent years, as Rudy’s business had grown bigger and bigger, he had actually wanted to stay away
Jenna muttered, “Your daughter does not even listen to you, so why would she listen to me when I’m just her stepmother? You’d better call her yourself if you want to call her to come over...”Shawn was a little dissatisfied with Jenna’s attitude, but after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand a
