Charlie was very puzzled.He truly did not understand why this old man seemed to have figured him out with just a single glance.However, since this old man had already helped him solve the problem at hand, the most important thing for him right now would be for him to go and pay his respects to his parents first. Everything else could be put on hold for the time being.So, Charlie arched his hand as he told the old man, “Thank you, sir.”After he was done speaking, he pretended to support Yule as he started walking up the steps accompanied by Rachel and Quinn.No one else followed behind them, including the old master who was simply standing quietly below the steps at this time. He was simply staring at Charlie’s back as he held back the excitement he was feeling inside.The Wade family mausoleum was divided into nine different rows. The top row belonged to the first ancestor of the Wade family who had left this world.The lower the level, the lower the seniority.Charlie’s
At this time, there were a few security personnel standing directly below the steps.The old master was holding the python head walking cane with both of his hands as he looked at Charlie with awe and admiration in his eyes.Charlie did not say anything, but he simply walked toward the old master as he bowed deeply in front of him.The old master hurriedly put his walking cane aside as he said with profound respect and humility, “This is unacceptable… unacceptable…”The several security personnel were all a little surprised.When the head of the Wade family had bowed to the old master, the old master had not even batted an eye. So, why was he being so polite and courteous when a mere driver was bowing in front of him now?At this time, the old master opened his mouth and asked Charlie, “Young man, I wonder if I can speak to you in private?”Charlie nodded and said, “No problem.”The old master turned around and told the security personnel, “No one is allowed to follow us.”Eve
Charlie had brought more than one Rejuvenating Pill with him to Eastcliff this time.Although he was certain that one pill would be enough to cure Yule, he had brought extra pills just to be on the safe side.From the looks of it, in the divination that the old man had given him, the only way out from the stalemate was the Rejuvenating Pill.Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but ponder the old man’s words.It seemed that the dragon stranding formation had manifested when he married Claire in Aurous Hill.The elder said that the reason why he was stranded in a rut was because he had started a family by the river. Aurous Hill was located next to the Yaak River, which corresponded to his aforementioned statement.Moreover, he had had a tough life until the sudden appearance of Stephen Thompson last spring, which had brought him a turn for the better fortune.However, the greatest gift he had obtained was not to be found again by the Wade family, but to obtain the by ch
Charlie said in a serious tone, “You’ve helped me, so I’m simply returning the favor. Take this pill, and it should extend your lifespan by ten years.”Although the elder had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he repeatedly nodded in excitement. He threw his cane and got to his knees slowly before raising his hands above his head.Charlie put the pill in his hands, helped him up, and said, “Sir, take it now. At your age, you might not look any different physically after taking it, but the real effect of the pill should be felt by someone with great wisdom like you.”The elder was so grateful that he blurted, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”Without hesitation, he put the Rejuvenating Pill into his mouth.After that, he closed his eyes and stood as still as a statue for about a minute.One minute later, he slowly opened his tearful eyes. He turned to look at Charlie, knelt down again, and choked, “Mr. Wade, this medicine is truly a miracle elixir! Thank you for saving my life!”Charli
Hearing that Chandler was preparing to return to the United States for his retirement, Charlie bowed at him and said with a smile, “In that case, I wish you happiness and health for the rest of your life!”Chandler returned the salute and said, somewhat flattered, “I’m grateful for your blessing, Mr. Wade!”Then, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Mr. Wade, I have a piece of advice for you, I hope you don’t mind.”Charlie quickly said, “Of course not. Please say it, Mr. Lennard!”Chandler said, “Although the dragon stranding predicament has been broken, you should not remain by the river or ford.”Charlie asked, “Then, where do you think I should go?”Chandler replied with the utmost respect, “In my opinion, you should return to Eastcliff because this is the capital of our country. In terms of the city’s Feng Shui layout, it is the city with the best formation, and your return here could be described as a dragon entering its nature in terms of Feng Shui.”Charlie smiled
When Lord Wade invited Chandler back from abroad, he had arranged for him to live in the Wade family mansion, even providing him with the best hospitality they could offer.However, after Mount Wintry had been built, Chandler insisted on moving out of the Wade family mansion and living there.Lord Wade was reluctant to let Chandler live in the Wade family’s ancestral tomb even though it was very well built with living quarters for the staff to work and live. Lord Wade felt that he could not let such an old man as Chandler live there.Even though Lord Wade had tried to stop Chandler, Chandler still insisted on moving over. The main reason was that he had been waiting for his precious opportunity, for the exit gate in his fortune-telling, to open. He had been waiting for Charlie to appear and give him the Rejuvenating Pill that could prolong his life for ten years.Now that the opportunity he had been waiting for for four years had come, it was time to go.So, he said to the head
Charlie smiled in response to Yule’s remark and said, “I have many things to attend to in Aurous Hill, so I have to go back.”Yule nodded gently and said with a sigh, “Please come to Eastcliff often to visit us. My wife and I are looking forward to your return to Eastcliff.”Charlie simply hummed and didn’t say anything more.Yule tacitly dropped the subject and asked, “Charlie, you said you were going to your friend’s grandmother’s birthday banquet tomorrow. Have you prepared a gift?”Charlie replied, “Not yet. I plan to hit the streets to look for it later.”Although Charlie had the Rejuvenating Pill that was a significant and precious gift to the elderly, he couldn’t give Loreen’s grandmother such an expensive gift for her birthday since he had never even met her before. Therefore, he planned to buy a gift with a price range of a hundred thousand to show his sincerity.Hearing that, Yule laughed and said, “I have a small painting at home—it is Henri Matisse’s Portrait de Famil
Charlie rubbed his nose awkwardly as he answered, “Uhm… I’m your best friend’s husband!”Loreen replied in a somewhat indifferent tone, “I know. A fake husband and a fake marriage for four years. I wonder how much longer this make-believe game will last.”Just when they were chatting, a limited edition Bentley drove up to the front of the villa and stopped beside them. The back seat window was wound down, and a luxuriously dressed woman poked her head out of the window. The woman looked at Loreen and asked, “Loreen, why are you out here?”As soon as Loreen saw the woman, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Oh, auntie! Where is uncle?”The woman in the car answered, “He’s busy with his work. He’ll come at noon before the banquet starts.”Loreen continued, “Where’s cuz?”The woman sighed and replied, “I haven’t seen him since last night. Argh, I’m so pissed. He is so stubborn! It wasn’t long after his surgery that he started to stay out all night again. Talk to him, will you?”Loreen
