Charlie said, “That will not be necessary. The reason why I am calling you is because I want to ask for your advice on certain matters.”Doris hurriedly said, “Young Master, you are being too polite with me. You can just speak up if you have any questions for me, and I will certainly try my best to answer you.”Charlie replied, “I am interested to venture into the ocean shipping industry. It so happens that the Ito family from Japan would be able to provide me with a lot of help and resources. Besides that, I also have a lot of funds in my own hands. So, I want to find an opportunity to start working on this ocean shipping business.”“However, the current problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot find a suitable person to help me to take charge of this project. So, I want to ask you if you have any good ideas, or if you will be able to temporarily help me to build up this ocean shipping business?”“If you can do so, I will not be stingy with your salary, and I will certai
Charlie truly did not expect that Yolden, whom he had just met yesterday, would actually be such a great and brilliant man in the field of economics and management.Just as he felt as though he had successfully encountered and found Yolden without putting in any effort at all, he could not help but feel sorry for his father-in-law at the same time.He naturally knew that his father-in-law’s feelings toward Aunt Hall came from the bottom of his heart.However, in the final analysis, his father-in-law had always been a coward in front of Elaine. Even though his father-in-law had been constantly thinking about renewing his relationship with Matilda, at the same time, he did not dare to divorce Elaine. If he were to carry on acting this way, his father-in-law and Matilda would never be able to have a happy future together.But Yolden was different.This man was not only highly educated and capable, but he also had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. Even his living habits wer
Mason was extremely angry, and he yelled out loud, “Hey! You b*stard! You’d better stop right there!”Carvalho smiled slightly before he patted Mason on his shoulder as he said earnestly, “We might have prevented a disaster because of this financial loss. So, there is no need for you to be so angry.”Mason was very discontented, and he said, “Grandpa, that guy is simply too wicked! I paid him two thousand dollars, and he only sent us here before running off! It is just a short stretch of road. If we were to have taken any other normal taxis, it would definitely have cost less than fifty dollars. If we allow him to simply run away just like this, we do not know how many other people he is going to cheat in the future! No! I have to make a police report!”Carvalho nodded before he said. “That guy is indeed too much, but you don’t need to take it to heart and hold it against him. You have to always remember that time is the most important thing in a person’s life. The more successful a
Mason was young and vigorous, and he had an extremely strong sense of justice. So, he could not help but feel that it was completely unacceptable when Carvalho said these words.However, after he had settled down and put some thought into what his great-grandfather had said, he felt that his words really seemed to make sense.The biggest difference between a Feng Shui master and an ordinary person was that a Feng Shui master would be able to predict whether a person’s future would be good or bad through physiognomy, Feng Shui, and divination.To any ordinary person, this was definitely a kind of ability that was absolutely amazing and incredible.Moreover, anyone who has mastered this kind of skill and ability should resolutely put an end to their sympathetic and compassionate heart. This was because as soon as they felt any sympathy for others, they would only be dragging themselves into a predicament.Mason finally understood why those professional killers in any domestic or for
Kian was indeed very intelligent. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to practice and skillfully master the art of brainwashing girls. It was a pity that his intelligence had led him to take the wrong path, and Charlie had subsequently turned him into a poop-eating monster.The great-grandfather and great-grandson walked around the university campus. After that, Mason asked, “Great-grandpa, do you think that the master who placed the psychological hints on Donald’s son would be in this university?”Carvalho shook his head before he said, “I’m not too sure about this either. However, since Donald’s son met with his mishap at this university back then, that could only mean that we will have to start looking for clues here regardless of whether that person is in this university or not.”After that, Carvalho instructed, “Mason, since you are young, you should go around and ask some students about Kian during the break time in between their classes. You should specifically a
Charlie drove his car all the way to the Aurous University of Finance and Economics’ administrative building. Soon, he had arrived at the door of the vice-chancellor of the School of Economics and Management’s office as per the room number that the security guard had given to him.After hesitating for a moment, Charlie knocked on the door.After knocking three times, Yolden’s voice sounded from the other side of the door. “Please come in!”Charlie pushed the door open, and he saw Yolden dressed in a decent suit. At this time, he was wearing a pair of glasses, and he was reading some information as he sat at his desk.After a few seconds, Yolden put down the file in his hand, and he was startled when he looked up and saw Charlie.Immediately afterward, he asked in surprise, “Charlie, why did you come here?”When Charlie saw the surprised look on his face, Charlie immediately knew that Yolden had not connected the dots, and he obviously did not know of his identity as the chairman
Charlie was a little puzzled, and he asked, “Why do you feel that it is particularly meaningless and of no significance for you to help companies make more profits? Now that you are teaching, aren’t you also helping the university cultivate more talents, then? I think that there is truly not much difference between the two.”Yolden smiled slightly before he said earnestly, “To be honest, I am not the kind of materialistic person who loves money very much.”As he spoke, Yolden said emotionally, “Truthfully, money no longer carries any significance or meaning to me after reaching a certain level. My standard of living and my living conditions have been fixed ever since I began earning an income of five hundred thousand US dollars a year. Moreover, when I subsequently began earning ten million US dollars a year, my standard of living and my living conditions were still the same as when I was simply earning five hundred thousand US dollars a year.”“Although I am not a rich or wealthy p
When Charlie saw the excited look on Yolden’s face, he hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Professor Hart, but I am not a Stanford University graduate.”Yolden asked puzzledly, “Then how did you know that the redwood tree that I painted is the one in the Stanford University’s emblem? If you did not have a deep understanding of Stanford University, you probably would not be able to remember the Stanford University emblem, right?”Charlie did not hide the truth, and he simply replied truthfully, “My mother studied at Stanford University back then. When I was a child, I was fortunate enough to have followed her to pay a visit to Stanford University.”“So, that is the case!” Yolden nodded slightly before he said, “You look like you are only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. So, your mother’s age should be similar to mine, right?”Charlie nodded as he said, “I am twenty-six years old, so my mother should be fifty-four years old this year.”Yolden thought for a moment before he
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
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
