Charlie nodded. “Alright, then. Ask them to arrange for a skydiving instructor to board the plane with me so that he can teach me how to release the parachute and control the direction along the way!”***After flying for more than four hours, Charlie’s Concorde finally landed at the Beirut Airport, in the capital of Lebanon.It was the afternoon in Beirut, and the temperature had already reached about 30 degrees Celsius. The sky was a little hazy, and the air was a little damp. It seemed as though a heavy rain had not fallen even after being held back for a long time.After Charlie’s plane had landed, the plane taxied directly into a huge hangar. At this time, there was also a transport plane with four propeller engines parked in the hangar. A group of crew members was surrounding the plane to conduct a detailed inspection.After the plane had stopped, the ladder was docked. The crew opened the door, and both Charlie and Isaac walked out of the cabin together.At this time, th
After Charlie had boarded the plane, Gary pointed at a foreigner who was checking the parachute bag and said, “Young Master, this is Vladislav from Russia. He was a paratrooper instructor, and he has twenty years of professional experience in skydiving from a high altitude. He is extremely rich in experience.”The Russian man who was referred to as Vladislav stood up before he saluted Charlie as he spoke up in non-fluent Oskian dialect, “Hello, Mr. Wade! I will be temporarily acting as your skydiving instructor. If you are not confident, I can jump together with you when the time comes.”Charlie nodded before he asked, “If I were to jump on my own, what should I be paying attention to?”Vladislav explained, “When we are approaching the destination, I will choose the most suitable skydiving location based on the altitude, airflow, and wind speed around the destination. If you decide to skydive on your own, you will have to be very decisive and jump as soon as I ask you to jump when i
“This…” Gary hurriedly looked at Vladislav.Vladislav was placed in a tough spot, and he replied embarrassedly, “Mr. Wade, if your landing point is too close to them, I am afraid that it will be very likely for them to spot you in advance before you even have the opportunity to land. So, this is also for your own safety.”Charlie replied indifferently, “It’s okay. I have a way to prevent them from discovering me.”At this time, Gary was helpless, and he had no choice but to take out an engineering plastic box from under the seat. Upon opening it, there were two black pistols, a pile of bullets, a stainless steel tactical dagger, and also several grenades in it. Then, he told Charlie, “Young Master, you should take all these weapons and equipment with you in case you need it.”Charlie shook his head and said, “I do not know how to use a pistol.”Gary exclaimed, “You do not know how to use a pistol?! Then… then how are you going to defend yourself?!”Charlie smiled as he said, “If
Fifteen minutes after taking off, Charlie was only tens of kilometers away from his final destination.According to Vladislav’s calculations, Charlie would have to jump out of the cabin after about five minutes. After that, Charlie would land five kilometers away from his destination based on Vladislav’s remote guidance.So, Vladislav asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, are you ready?”Charlie nodded. “I’m ready.”Vladislav said to Gary, “Mr. Hackford, please ask the captain to open up the hatch.”“Okay!” Gary immediately walked to the cockpit and asked the captain to open up the hatch at the rear of the plane.As the cabin door opened slowly, a violent and cold wind immediately flowed in. Isaac and the others could not help but shiver uncontrollably from the cold.Isaac hurriedly said to Charlie in a loud voice, “Young Master, you have to be very careful and vigilant! We will definitely be waiting for you at the place you have specified in six hours!”Charlie smiled slightly before he s
Although Syria was a part of the Middle East, the latitude here was similar to that of Aurous Hill. Moreover, since it was also winter, it was the season with the most rainfall.The thick and dark clouds not only blocked out the sun, but they also made the air very humid.This was a good thing for Charlie because if it had been a cloudless day, the possibility of him being able to skydive to infiltrate the enemy’s base during the day would essentially be close to zero because he would certainly be discovered.This was also the reason why Charlie was so confident that he would be able to skydive closer to the opponent’s base.When Vladislav counted down to the last three seconds, Charlie stepped forward before he came directly to the edge of the hatch. Vladislav was extremely nervous as he shouted, “3, 2, 1, jump!”Charlie turned his head around as he said to the few people, “Everyone, I will see you in six hours!”After that, Charlie jumped out of the cabin directly into the thic
The height of seven to eight floors would indeed be very deadly to most ordinary people.However, it was not a big deal to Charlie.His only worry was that he would descend and pass through the top of the mountain first as his height got lower and lower. So, the most important thing was whether he would get discovered by the other party at that height.In order to ensure that there would be no risk at all, Charlie put his hand in his pocket as he held the Thunder Order in his pocket.The Thunder Order was made out of the Lightning Stricken Dragon Blood Wood that Jasmine had given to him. It could be considered the best amongst all of the Dragon Blood Wood, and it was Charlie’s most handy weapon.Although Charlie had already made use of the Thunder Order many times, and even though there were already many cracks on its surface, at present, it could be used for a few more times at least.In truth, Charlie did not like to use the Thunder Order because this item would always cause a
However, currently, everyone, including all of the soldiers on the top of the mountain at the east, was all focused as they placed their attention toward the mountain on the west. So, no one noticed this figure passing them by at all.And this figure was none other than Charlie, who had jumped down from an altitude of more than five thousand meters!At this time, Charlie’s descending speed was extremely fast, and his descending speed had already exceeded fifty meters per second.When Vladislav, who was on the plane, stared at the data that was uploaded on the computer, he turned pale as he said, “Mr. Wade’s descending speed is too fast… and there are less than three hundred meters of remaining ground height left. That is far below the minimum limit for the safe release of the parachute. I am afraid that the odds will not be in Mr. Wade’s favor.”When Gary heard this, he was so shocked and frightened that he could not help but tremble uncontrollably all over as he blurted out, “Hurr
When they heard Charlie’s reply, the several people who were in the cabin were all shocked and at a loss for words.Vladislav’s view and perception had been completely subverted at this point, and he subconsciously said, “This… this… how can this be possible…”Although Gary also heaved a huge sigh of relief, he was equally shocked, and he said, “Vladislav, could it be that you have miscalculated the data?”“Impossible…” Vladislav replied confidently, “I have been skydiving for so many years, and I have never made a mistake when it comes to the calculation of data!”Gary frowned as he said, “Then, I really can’t figure it out at all…”At this time, Isaac, who had not spoken up all this while, spoke up as he said, “You don’t need to ponder about it anymore. Young Master’s true ability and strength are much greater than what you can ever imagine! We can just go back with peace of mind and prepare to meet up with the young master at the predetermined location!”Immediately afterward,
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
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
