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,
At this moment, Charlie was inside a small courtyard, and there were only three earthen houses in this small courtyard. It looked very dilapidated. Charlie used his Reiki to feel and perceive his surroundings, and he realized that there were no signs of anyone’s presence in these three earthen houses at all. So, he prepared to move forward little by little toward the central square of the village starting from this courtyard.When Charlie was skydiving, he had seen the opposition force’s four armed helicopters parked in the central square. So, this showed that the opposition force regarded the central square as the most defensive spot. Since all of the expensive helicopters were parked there, Charlie believed that the eight hostages, including Autumn, should also be detained and kept captive near the central square.After Charlie had passed through the small and deserted courtyard and just as he was about to cross over another small courtyard, he heard footsteps sounding from not too
These two opposition force’s soldiers were completely defenseless deep down in their hearts, and they were just chatting amongst themselves earlier.After all, this was their base. Their base was not only heavily guarded by their own soldiers, but the people living here were also their supporters.So, in their subconscious mind, as long as there was no war going on outside, it should be absolutely safe inside their base.However, an unknown person had suddenly appeared inside this ‘absolutely safe’ environment!This made the both of them feel extremely nervous at this moment.Since they were not responsible for keeping guard, neither one of their guns was ready to use at the moment. This meant that even if they wanted to use their guns to deal with the enemy behind them, they would have to load their guns and deactivate the safety pin before they could pull the trigger.However, no matter how fast they could act, this process would take them a few seconds at least.Moreover, the
“This…” The man hesitated for a moment before he said, “To be honest… anyone can tell that you look like a foreigner at first glance… simply by looking at your face. So, there is really nothing much that I can do to bring you inside…”Charlie pointed at the soldier next to him before he asked, “If I were to change into his clothes, would you be able to bring me in, then?”The man prevaricate before he said, “If… if you put on his clothes and put on a mask, you should be able to get into the courtyard… but once you go down to the cellar, the guards in the cellar will unmistakably question you about your identity and where you are coming from. This is because our commander has already clearly commanded for these eight people to be placed under strict surveillance. Moreover, even if you can go in, it is inevitable for you to get exposed…”As he spoke, he hurriedly added, “Besides that, if you were to attack them, it is very likely that you will alert the guards outside. There is only a
As soon as the man heard Charlie's words, he hurriedly pleaded as he blurted out, “Friend! Friend! I honestly did not mean to do that! I… I was just confused. Please give me another chance!”Charlie shook his head. “Sorry, but there is only one chance! If you have another lifetime, remember not to betray someone who regards and treats you as a friend.”The man turned pale in fright, and he decided to try his luck for one last time as he opened his mouth in an attempt to shout out for help.At this time, he regarded calling out for help as his last chance to survive.If he could attract other people’s attention, he might still have the opportunity to survive, then.The bottom line was that even if he could not live, at the very least, he would be able to cause some trouble for this man in front of him!As soon as his whereabouts were exposed, there would be a high probability that this man would not be able to leave this place alive, then!So, he blurted out immediately, “Help…”
Charlie was finally relieved, and he pointed at the man who was lying on the ground as he said, “Take off his pants and hide his body somewhere. You simply have to make sure that no one will be able to find him tonight.”“Okay!”The other party responded before he immediately stepped forward and took the man’s pants off. After that, he carried him up and hid his body inside a dilapidated house in an abandoned courtyard next to them.Charlie put on the man’s clothes and pants directly. At this time, the man who was under the influence of Charlie’s psychological hints came back and said respectfully, “I have already made all the necessary arrangements according to your instructions!”Charlie nodded before he asked him, “What is your name?”The man hurriedly replied, “My name is Faizal.”Charlie asked him, “Faizal, do you have a mask on you?”Faizal hurriedly took out a black mask which was packed inside a plastic bag from his pocket before he said, “This mask has just been given t
Charlie and Faizal walked past the central square together. The loud roar of the diesel generators was getting more and more deafening.Many ordinary people would have difficulties having a conversation under such a loud mechanical noise, and many other noises around it were also covered up. This was a good thing for Charlie. Even if something were to happen during the rescue and pursuit later, it would be very difficult for an outsider to spot it even if anyone were to shout and yell out loud.So, Charlie asked Faizal who was next to him, “How long would your diesel generators usually be set to work for?”Faizal hurriedly replied respectfully, “As the government has already cut off our electricity supply, all of our electricity is supplied by a set of 50-kilowatt diesel generator sets. It is also equipped with a set of power storage equipment.”“Since the electrical consumption during the day would generally be lower, we usually do not use the generator during the daytime. We will
Charlie asked Faizal, “Don’t you have a unilingual practice here?”Faizal shook his head and said, “If we were to be unilingual, we should be speaking Arabic. However, the composition of the opposition force’s soldiers is more complicated, and many of us do not speak Arabic.”“Some of these people have been living in other countries ever since they were young. Some of them lived in former colonial areas, so they have been speaking English or French ever since they were young. So, the language and communication between all of the soldiers are not entirely smooth and easy.”“Take me for instance. I actually went to the United States with my parents when I was very young, and I even got a green card. I served in the US Army for three years. I only responded to a call and came back to join the Freedom Army just a few years ago. So, my command of the Arabic language is very poor, and I can essentially only communicate in English.”Charlie nodded. This kind of multilingual situation was
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
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
