Cadfan invited Carvalho to come in and sit on the sofa respectfully. After sitting down, Cadfan sighed before he said painfully and miserably, “Sigh! Uncle Mason, you really have to help me this time!”Carvalho nodded before he said seriously, “Since I am already here, I will naturally do my best to help you. So, you will have to tell me the exact truth of everything that has happened.”Cadfan hummed slightly before he sighed and said, “This is all my fault. I am to blame for being too muddled and confused. I made some very unreasonable decisions…”With that said, Cadfan explained the details of how the pair of brother and sister, Jaime and Sophie, had both been kidnapped when they were in Japan, how Rosalie had been sent there to kill and annihilate the entire Matsumoto family, and how he had subsequently betrayed Rosalie, and even how he had tried to assassinate Helen after that, to Carvalho.After he was done speaking, Cadfan looked at Carvalho with a worried expression on his f
“On the day of her funeral, all three of her sons’ cries and wails could be heard through the entire alley. However, everyone could see that they were simply putting on a show for the outsiders. After putting on a great show, the three sons happily sold off the house that their mother used to live in. After dividing the money between themselves, they instantly scattered like birds.”“So, tell me. If there is truly karma or retribution, why did this old woman suffer throughout her entire life even though she had been doing good and accumulating virtue throughout her life?”Cadfan thought for a moment before he said seriously, “Perhaps it is simply because she is repaying the debt that she owes in her previous life?”Carvalho sneered before he said disdainfully, “Only people who do not understand the law of events would give such a rhetorical explanation. If everyone believed that you would have to pay your debts for your past life in your current life, why don’t you give me all of yo
Both Cadfan and Sheldon were stunned and dumbfounded because of Carvalho’s words!In truth, both of them did not have any faith or beliefs at all.Lord Schulz did not believe in any Gods, deities, karma, or even Feng Shui.There was only one thing that he believed in, and that was strength and capability.However, since the Schulz family had been encountering various troubles recently, this made Cadfan feel as though it might be retribution.However, after listening to Carvalho’s analysis, it seemed as though it had nothing to do with retribution at all.So, Cadfan could not help but ask, “Uncle Mason, I want to ask you more specifically. What exactly is the reason behind the Schulz family’s recent encounters of various problems?”Carvalho did not say anything, but he simply beckoned his great-grandson, Mason.Mason immediately walked forward before handing a compass over to Carvalho. At the same time, he also handed several dice made out of animal bones and joints as well as
After he was done speaking, Carvalho said, “You must have heard of Detroit’s background story too. It was originally the largest automobile city in the United States. It was initially doing extremely well, and it was a huge success, but in the end, it ended up so badly that a large number of people began fleeing from the city. The local real estate even shrank by more than 90%. However, who was the one who truly destroyed this city? It was Toyota and Honda from Japan, and also Mercedes and BMW from Germany. These are all factors that could change the law.”Cadfan came to a sudden realization, and he hurriedly asked, “Uncle Mason, just tell me what kind of information you need! I will certainly get you all the details that you need!”Carvalho nodded before he said calmly, “I will need your wife’s Eight Character from her birth date as well as Sheldon’s Eight Character from his birth date.”Cadfan hurriedly agreed, and he immediately gave Carvalho their specific date of birth.After
“The birth of the True Dragon?!”Cadfan had a horrified expression on his face, but at the same time, he also had some doubts of his own.He thought to himself, ‘What is the birth of the True Dragon? This does not sound real or reliable at all!’However, as soon as he thought about the fact where the copper coin was facing heads up even after Carvalho had tossed it several times just now, Cadfan could not help but feel as though something was not right. It could not possibly be a pure coincidence, right?So, Cadfan asked tentatively, “Uncle Mason, what is the birth of the True Dragon? Why does it sound so mysterious?”Carvalho trembled a little as he replied falteringly, “Based on the Eight Diagrams, the birth of the True Dragon means that there is a great and powerful figure with the fate of the True Dragon who has appeared in your fate…”Cadfan frowned before he asked, “So, is that great and powerful figure a friend or foe?”Carvalho replied seriously, “Based on the current ev
“This… I cannot tell…” Carvalho replied truthfully. “The other party’s fate is too strong, and I cannot see through it at all.”Cadfan was a little unconvinced and dissatisfied as he asked, “Could it be that this man has an even stronger fate than me?!”Carvalho nodded before he solemnly replied, “Anyone with this kind of fate has the most powerful kind of fate. You can describe it as strong and invincible. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to have a greater fate than him!”Cadfan was horrified. He could not help but think to himself, ‘I have always suspected that it is very likely that Sophie and Helen are still alive. Moreover, there is a strong possibility that they have been saved by that mysterious top master from Japan. Now, Master Mason is saying that the True Dragon has appeared in my fate. Could this top master be the person that Master Mason is talking about?!’As he thought about this, Cadfan could not help but panic. If everything was just as he had guessed, this t
Since the accident until now, Kian had not been out of the house to see outsiders for a long time.Originally, he had also been very reluctant to go out, and he would have liked to never step out of the house again for the rest of his life. However, when he heard that there were experts today who might be able to cure his own unspeakable problems, his heart lit up with hope. Upon entering the villa, Arrington led the two brothers to the meeting room.Donald hurriedly introduced him to the crowd, “Lord Schulz, Master Mason, this is my youngest son, Kian, and next to him is my eldest son, Sean!"The father and son of the Schulz family were interested in sizing up Kian.This was because Kian was indeed different from any ordinary person, as his name suggested. When his short video had gone viral, his popularity was no less than any celebrity.Kian felt an uncomfortable feeling all over his body as the Schulz family's father and son stared at him. He lowered his head. Donald
Carvalho hummed and asked in a deep voice, "So, do you remember now what hints the other party gave you?" Kian nodded expressionlessly and said, "I remember. Every other hour, he told me to..." Carvalho hurriedly blurted, "Stop! You have to keep a careful eye on the copper coin in my hand. From now on, forget all the orders given to you by others, do you understand?!" Kian continued to nod. "I understand..."Carvalho wiped his sweat away and asked with some uncertainty, "So, do you remember any hints given to you by the other party now?" Kian said without thinking, "I remember. He told me to..." Carvalho’s expression turned very ugly, and he loudly chided, "You… You… you… shut up now!" Kian was startled and immediately snapped out of his hypnotic state, and he immediately shut his mouth. Donald looked from the side without a clue and asked nervously, "Master Mason, what the hell is going on here?!" Carvalho shook his head and said with a shocked ex
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
Nanako giggled gently, thinking that Charlie was exaggerating. "You're so funny, Charlie. Who could possibly fail to attain enlightenment for hundreds of years? Those who haven't probably wouldn't live that long anyway, right?" Charlie smiled ambiguously. The matter concerning Vera was, of course, something he couldn't share with anyone, including Nanako. However, it was indeed a fact that Vera, despite taking the Eternal Pill and living for so many years, still hadn't attained enlightenment. Moreover, back in the day, Fumiko had served Marcius faithfully for an entire lifetime. From the paintings, it was evident that Marcius was genuinely devoted to Fumiko at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to fulfill his promise after obtaining his opportunities. Yet, despite receiving Marcius's wholehearted support, Fumiko still failed to achieve enlightenment. In contrast, Nanako had managed to attain enlightenment so effortlessly, merely through the guidance of a monk.
Caden didn't know what kind of gifts Charlie was planning to give everyone, but from his perspective, since each of the over 400 people would receive one, it was likely something that could be bought with money. Caden was as rich as a king and wasn't particularly interested in things that money could buy. However, since Charlie had mentioned it, he naturally wanted to show his support. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Despite your busy schedule, you're still thinking of us. I'm truly honored, and on behalf of everyone, I thank you." Charlie chuckled. "You're welcome." Caden respectfully replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and ask Miss Ito to come over." "Okay." Caden retreated and went back to the martial arts hall. He called Nanako over and said in a low voice, "Miss Ito, Mr. Wade is at the manager's office right now. He wants to see you." "What?" Nanako squealed in pleasant surprise. "Mr. Wade is here? Oh my, I'll go over now! Thank you, Master Howton."
After that, Charlie asked, "Has everything been going well here lately?" Caden clasped his hands respectfully and replied, "Everything has been going very well. With the follow-up mental techniques you provided from the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method, everyone's foundations are very solid. This batch of students has made the fastest progress I've seen in all my years of teaching." Charlie remembered his disciple, Sonia, who had previously taken the entire Taoist Sect to Oskia on her own initiative, effectively becoming part of his sect. Since he didn't have time to manage them, he had left everything under Caden's supervision. Curious, he asked, "How are the Taoist Sect disciples doing in their training?" Caden responded, "These disciples' training progress has been much faster than when they were in the United States. Sonia is now like a workaholic, training all day, every day, and her progress is astonishing—beyond my expectations." He continued, unable to hide his admiration, "
"The Rothschild family members?" Hearing Albert's remarks, Charlie frowned slightly and said, "Oh! Are you talking about Edmund and his dad?" "Yes!" Albert nodded and laughed out loud. "That American bastard who poisoned Miss Young's father and caused his kidney failure. Didn't he and his dad always say that they were from the Rothschild family?" Charlie waved him off dismissively. "They're not part of the Rothschild family. Rothschilds wouldn't carry the surname 'Whittaker'." Pausing to think, he added, "The surname 'Whittaker' is likely of Jewish origin. They might actually be relatives of the Rothschild family by marriage." As he spoke, a realization dawned on him. "I think I've got it. Julien coming to Aurous Hill might very well be to look for this father-and-son duo. Harrison has just recovered and wants to remain the family head for a few more years—he's probably trying to strengthen ties with these branch families." Albert gasped, "If that's the case, that bastard i
Meanwhile, Charlie went down the mountain and arrived at the Champs Elys Resort. To avoid disturbing the students during their practice, Charlie informed Albert of his arrival by phone. Albert, being at the bottom of the martial arts students in terms of skill and treating it more as a casual interest, was asked to wait at the entrance of the resort. When Charlie arrived, Albert, dressed in his training outfit, was already waiting at the door. He quickly stepped up to the car, opened the door for Charlie, and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Wade, welcome." Charlie nodded and said, "Tomorrow, have The Heaven Springs temporarily closed to the public and prepare a table with excellent food and drinks. For any customers with existing reservations, make sure to provide them with appropriate compensation." Without hesitation, Albert agreed and asked, "Are you expecting some guests?" Charlie casually replied, "Not exactly guests—just someone coming from afar who's a bit of a fool."
Upon hearing that Charlie would host him, Julien was flattered and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me!" Charlie smiled and replied, "We're good friends, no need for formalities. When do you expect to land in Aurous Hill?" Julien thought for a moment and respectfully responded, "I'll be flying in a few hours, with a flight time of about 15 hours. I expect to land in Aurous Hill around 10 a.m. local time tomorrow." Charlie said, "In that case, tomorrow at noon, I'll host a banquet for you at The Heaven Springs, the most famous restaurant in Aurous Hill. It's well-known, so your employees should be able to find it easily. You can just come over directly when you arrive." Although the Rothschild family didn't have personnel stationed in Aurous Hill, their Asian headquarters was located in Eastcliff with high-ranking officials as well as a large number of staff. Julien had already informed the administrative
Fortunately, the Acker family members had weathered many storms and had a far greater perspective than most people. Charlie said, "The infiltration capabilities of the scholars from the Qing Eliminating Society are far beyond what we could have imagined. The individuals who appeared around you and Jaxson back then—those who left a strong impression or even earned some of your admiration—were likely all part of their network. Even if it were me, I might not have been able to discern their true intentions in time." Lulu nodded gently, and Charlie's words seemed to offer her some comfort. Charlie knew that she needed time to process everything, so he spoke gently, "For the next couple of days, don't think about anything. Just rest. After some time, the situation between us and the Qing Eliminating Society should change significantly, and it will give us more control. When that happens, we might need to take the initiative, and at that time, you and Jaxson should try to be involved
