Master Lennard only realized the huge catastrophe he had caused after hearing Charlie’s explanation. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Miss Moore, I am so sorry! That was not my intention! Master, please take that stone away immediately…”Charlie shook his head before he replied, “It is already useless to take that stone away now. After all, the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ is already completed, and it is equivalent to throwing a stone into water. Even if you took the stone out from the water, the waves generated by the stone cannot be undone anymore.”Jasmine looked at Charlie with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She suddenly felt a little more respect for him, and she quickly asked, “Mr. Wade, can you help me to resolve this problem caused by the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’? I will not hesitate to pay you no matter how much money I have to spend to resolve this issue!”As soon as Albert heard Charlie’s words, he quickly said, “Mr. Wade, you have to help our young lady!
”He really is a God!” At this time, Albert was not the only one who was stunned, but Jasmine and Oscar were also dumbfounded.It was really amazing that Charlie was able to find the water pipe that was hidden inside the cement floor.Charlie spoke up again. “Albert, break the water pipe open and let the water spill out immediately. As soon as the water gushes out of the pipe, the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ will break down immediately, and this Feng Shui formation will no longer exist!”Jasmine hurriedly urged, “Albert, hurry up and break the water pipe open!”Albert nodded before he started hitting the water pipe with the metal crowbar until it finally broke.A large pool of water spewed out in an instant, and Charlie, Jasmine, and Oscar backed away immediately to avoid the water from getting all over them. Unfortunately, Albert did not manage to escape in time, and the water splashed all over him.After the water gushed out, Charlie realized that he had already broken the
Jasmine was so surprised that her jaw almost fell to the ground due to Mr. Lambeth’s drastic change in attitude.Even though she was still furious because of what Mr. Lambeth had done before this, she still wanted to shout out excitedly right now!However, she remained calm and maintained her composure as she said, “Alright, then. If that is the case, let’s make an appointment at a time and place to sign the partnership agreement.”Mr. Lambeth quickly replied, “Alright, the sooner, the better! I will fly in to Aurous Hill tomorrow to meet up with you in person, Miss Moore!”Jasmine stared at Charlie in awe as soon as she had hung up the phone.She could already see Charlie’s skills and power through Mr. Lambeth’s phone call.Previously, when Master Lennard had destroyed her fortune by completing the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’, Mr. Lambeth had called to tell her that he wanted to terminate the business partnership between their families. At that time, Mr. Lambeth’s father’s
Charlie smiled before he said, “Remember what you have said today! I might need you to do something for me in the future!”Albert nodded before he replied, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry! You can give me orders to do anything for you!”At this time, Master Lennard who had been lying on the ground as he held onto his stomach suddenly began crying and begging for mercy. “Big brother, please let me go! I will not dare to do this anymore in the future. Please, forgive me and let me go.”Albert sneered before he said, “You are a liar! I must teach you a lesson. My subordinates are coming to get you now!”Charlie asked in a low voice, “How are you going to deal with him?”Albert replied coldly, “I’ve already said that I will chop him up into pieces before feeding him to the dogs! How could I not keep to my word? I have a friend who owns a dog shelter. He has so many dogs there, they could probably finish eating ten scumbags like him!”As soon as Master Lennard heard Albert’s words, he was so f
At noon the next day.Charlie and Claire went to the Maple Hotel by car.The Maple Hotel was not the most expensive in Aurous Hill, but it was among the most exclusive and luxurious in town, indicating Douglas’s sincerity in treating them.In fact, he spent quite lavishly on this meal as he had booked the premium dining suite in the hotel. It was luxuriously decorated and was spacious enough to accommodate twenty people with the minimum spending of seven to eight thousand dollars.Many people had already arrived in the suite when Charlie and Claire arrived. Besides Douglas and Loreen, there were also a few college mates.Loreen hadn’t had a good time lately.She had come to Aurous Hill from Eastcliff for some time now for the main purpose of getting to know the chairman of Emgrand Group. However, she had never had a chance to even see the man himself after working for so long in the company.Moreover, although she had gotten to stay in the office when she was the administrative
“Joanne, do you ever listen to yourself? Douglas is our best buddy, he will undoubtedly give us a hand if we need help.”A man with a square face spoke up. He picked up his glass and downed it in one go.Charlie glanced over at them briefly. He remembered them as his collegemates. The woman’s name was Joanne Hampton, and the man’s name was Jerry McLean.Douglas replied timidly, “Oh no, I cannot take credit for all of that. Sigh, it’s a long story, just forget about it!”He then looked at Charlie, feeling grateful with a tinge of emotion.It had been a stroke of misfortune to have been with a cheater and sl*t that he had almost lost everything to her, even getting beaten up for that.Luckily, thanks to Charlie’s help, he was able to reclaim ownership of the restaurant and receive two million in compensation. Thus, everything that he owned now was literally because of Charlie. He couldn’t take any credit for that.Hence, he changed the subject and started, “Anyway, Jerry, you’re p
Charlie stared daggers at them, but for Douglas’s sake, he couldn’t be bothered with these two idiots.Despite Charlie’s silence, Joanne and Jerry despised him even more for not defending himself after being ridiculed and insulted! What a loser!Jerry continued his insults, “Hey, in my opinion, Claire was truly blind. So many fine gentlemen in our class and yet, Charlie the loser was her final choice? Huh, such a waste!”In the middle of their banter, suddenly, the suite’s door was pushed open.Bang!Several brawny men in black barged into the room, and one of them, a young man with a crew-cut head and a cigarette in his hand said coldly, “Get out of here. I want this room.”Jerry frowned in annoyance. “What do you think you’re doing? Can’t you see that we’re having our dinner?”Then, he slammed the table fiercely and growled, “This is the Maple Hotel, first come first serve! Don’t you know the rules?”“First come first serve?”The fierce-looking young man came over to Jerry a
“That’s enough, Rambo. We’re having dinner here, get lost!”Charlie couldn’t care less about a small character like Rambo, so he waved his hand lazily and asked him to leave.Rambo bowed respectfully and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I’ll get out of here right now!”Then, he quickly retreated from the room like a pug.Jerry and Joanne were feeling extremely agitated and annoyed. Charlie, whom they had mocked and ridiculed in every possible way, had turned into Mr. Wade! What the hell was going on?!There had to be some sort of misunderstanding here. Charlie was just a deadbeat loser! Why did Rambo address him as Mr. Wade?! He wasn’t worth it!Douglas turned to them and said sternly, “You two, watch your mouth. Stay low-key and humble. You are wise enough to know what you can or cannot say out loud. Luckily Charlie was here today, otherwise, you guys would be in big trouble!”Jerry and Joanne stayed as quiet as mice after being beaten by Rambo.Douglas then turned to Charlie and said g
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
