Chapter 2816

Author: Lord Leaf
Rosalie also knew her grandfather’s temperament and character very well.

As her mother had said, he was too convinced with his own set of perceptions.

This was just like those people who believed in the geocentric theory in ancient times. They firmly believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, as well as all the stars, were all orbiting around the earth.

This kind of seemingly absurd theory lasted for thousands of years in major civilizations of the earth, and it was only until the sixteenth century when this belief had gradually been broken because of the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus.

This proved that the words ‘deeply rooted’ would indeed impact a person’s views and perceptions.

So, even if Yashita were to describe Charlie’s pill in even more detail over the phone, Holden would never believe her.

The best and only way was to let Yashita return to Moncolne as soon as possible so that she could hand the pills over to Holden personally.

    After all, that person had saved Sophie twice.If Sophie could protect Cadfan, there would be more guarantee for Cadfan’s safety.So, after praising Arrington a little, he started arranging for the private plane immediately.There were more than a hundred people in the Harker family. A medium passenger aircraft would be able to transport all of them over at once. As for the bus, he would have to prepare at least four buses. Besides that, he would have to prepare one or two more trucks to transport their luggage.Cadfan arranged for his subordinate to prepare for the passenger aircraft as well as the buses and trucks so that they would be able to pick up the Harker family from Moncolne on time at ten o’clock in the morning the next day.In that case, they would be able to arrive in Sudbury before dark.At this time, Holden also did not dare to cause any delay to the plan tomorrow. So, he had already begun to notify the entire Harker family to start packing their luggage.The enti

    The helicopter landed on the icy surface of the river, which was as hard as iron, and Yashita did not wait for the helicopter to stop fully before she pushed the door open and jumped out. After thanking the pilot and saying goodbye, she quickly headed toward the Harker mansion, which was about one and a half kilometers away.At this time, many of the members of the Harker family had already gotten up early.The Harker family’s living habits had always been somewhat different as compared to that of modern society. On the contrary, their lifestyle had many similarities with the ancients.For example, the Harker family rarely relied on modern technology in their lifestyle. Aside from the telephone, which was an essential item, most of the Harker family members rarely relied on cell phones, computers, and the internet.The generation of people from the age of eighteen to fifty years old was the mainstay of the Harker family. Regardless of their gender, as long as they were members of t

    Holden could not help but become more vigilant with this thought in mind.He suddenly turned around, and the internal qi in his body had already been raised from his elixir field to his hands in case he needed to attack urgently.However, when he turned around, he realized that the person who was walking toward him was indeed his daughter, Yashita.At this moment, Yashita did not seem to look any different compared to how she was when she had left yesterday.However, as Holden assessed it carefully, he felt that Yashita seemed to be very different in contrast to how she had been yesterday!This kind of feeling was as if he was looking at the same pool of water a day apart. It looked like it was the same size without any ripples in the water.Yet, it felt as though this same pool of water seemed to be much deeper as compared to how it had been yesterday!He subconsciously asked, “Yashita, you… how did you…”Yashita hurriedly interrupted him as she spoke up, “Dad, can I speak to

    The father and daughter duo walked through the corridors of the front courtyard and backyard one after the other before they arrived at Holden’s study room.Holden entered the room first, and Yashita followed him into the room. Holden then turned around and closed the door as he looked at Yashita with a helpless and guilty look on his face as he said, “Yashita, you must forgive me for this matter. I had no choice but to compromise too…”Yashita nodded and said, “Dad, I know that you’re doing this out of consideration for the Harker family…”“That’s right!” Holden sighed and said, “Sigh. If it was not because of the Harker family, how could I possibly be willing to make this kind of decision? It might seem like light-hearted words, but in actual fact, this is simply a slap in my face…”As he spoke, Holden said, “Yashita, don’t blame me for this. Just like you, I also wish to find Rosalie. So, you don’t have to see the Schulz family at all in the future, and you can just go all out t

    But this was also a very interesting point. If Yashita had opened up three of her meridians, or if she were to bring Rosalie, who had opened up three of her meridians back in front of Holden, Holden would have been able to see the difference at a single glance. After all, there was a whole world of difference between opening up two meridians and three meridians. It was as though the same pool of water which was only as large as a basketball court yesterday had suddenly become twice the size of a soccer field. It was a huge difference, so Holden, who had opened up three meridians himself, would certainly be able to see the difference at a single glance.What was truly interesting was that Yashita had not been able to open up her third meridian as Rosalie had, but instead, there was a huge improvement to the smoothness of the two meridians that she had originally opened up.In Holden’s eyes, the pool of water was still the same size as the basketball court that it had always been, and

    Holden’s lifelong pursuit was to let the Harker family flourish in his own hands.He would be willing to give up everything, even if it was his own life, for this reason.This was also the reason why he could endure the blood feud involving his granddaughter, Rosalie, when he was faced with the offer of two billion dollars. This was because in his opinion, although his granddaughter was important, she was still less important as compared to the future of the entire Harker family.However, when he saw Yashita, who had achieved a fully functional Ren meridian, he immediately realized that this opportunity was indeed far rarer and much more important as compared to money. If he had two billion dollars on hand, he would only be able to ensure that dozens of the children in the Harker family would be able to get some help in their cultivation. However, those ordinary medicinal herbs would not be of much help to them. Even if he were to spend the entire two billion dollars on a single per

    If a person could open up two meridians, he could be a part of a handful of martial artists nowadays who were considered as top martial arts masters.If a person could open up three meridians, he would definitely be ranked amongst the top ten martial artists in the country.As for opening up the fourth meridian, at present, amongst dozens of large or small martial arts families, there was not a single person who could reach such a high level.For Holden, as long as he could achieve a breakthrough for his fourth meridian, he would become the pinnacle amongst all martial artists in the country.Just as Holden was desperately trying to realize this ambition, he was shocked to discover that a considerable portion of the surging medicinal power in his body was actually flowing through the various blood vessels and nerves in his body, entering his internal organs and body.At this moment, for Holden, it was as if his entire body had already dried up, and the medicinal effect within the

    Yashita’s words hit Holden directly where it hurt.Holden understood his eldest son’s virtue and character better than anyone else. Holden had already discovered that his eldest son had lost his ultimate pursuit of martial arts as early as twenty years ago.It was not only that, but his eldest son had also become obsessed with material enjoyment.In Yuvin’s own words, he had already endured twenty to thirty years of martial arts training, and it was already time for him to enjoy life. Those martial arts celebrities and action stars also endured hardships when they were young before they began to reach the pinnacle of their life at their middle-age.There were even many martial arts celebrities who had become a billionaire at the age of thirty and based on their personal condition, there was also an obvious rapid decline which was also visible to the naked eye. It was obvious at first glance that they had been training less and less.They were training less and less, but their li

    The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

    It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

    Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

    Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

    "But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

    "Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with

    At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

    As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

    Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
