LOGINHowever, the negative promotion kept eating at Fleur. It was not as if she didn't trust Elder Barlin's abilities, but her luck always failed her whenever she came up against her mystery foe, and it was always she who lost in what few run-ins they had.So now it wasn't just the four earls or their bases being uprooted one after the other… All the scholars and members she had sent to find out anything they could still couldn't find a thing!That was why, knowing that Barlin had been fighting at the South Pole, Fleur immediately presumed things didn't look good for Barlin.She didn't even have any idea how many foes she actually had, but she knew that Barlin had been alone when he traveled to the South Pole, and then was almost hunted down by the Americans.That meant he was already in dire straits, and wouldn't stand a chance fighting a formidable cultivator on top of that.That was when Tarlon pointed out, "My Lord, the fact that Barlin traveled alone to the South Pole and mind-b
Most importantly, the fact that Vera's ring didn't teleport Charlie to her side meant he had won, and the thought relieved her right then.Smiling in embarrassment, she explained, "No, I was just feeling a little headache, but I'm better now. We should just stay here and wait for Mr. Wade."Seeing that she was calm, Ruby was relieved and assured her, "There's no reason to worry. Mr. Wade is a great man, and I'm sure he's not in any trouble.""Yes," Vera smiled and nodded. "He'd return to us safely.-Meanwhile, at the Qing Eliminating Society headquarters, Tarlon rushed to Fleur's chambers, entering when he had permission and reporting urgently, "My lord, there's been a situation!"Fleur frowned. "What is it? What's so urgent?""Please take a look at this…" Tarlon said respectfully, handing over a specialized cellphone.Fleur took it skeptically and played the video that was loaded—the news of lightning sighted in deep Antarctica, and her brow creased further and warily. "Forge
Meanwhile, at the Norway research base, all three women were sitting around a tea table by the window, looking out from time to time.Vera made tea, but none of them were in the mood to drink.Charlie had been gone for days, and his fate remained unknown. Vera definitely wanted to call his satellite phone, but was worried that might expose him should he be in a risky position, so she could only wait patiently.Ruby and Penny were worried for Charlie too, just like Vera, as he was traveling to the deep south of Antarctica. Still, as Vera didn't express it, it deterred them from doing so too.That was when Vera's phone screen lit up with a news notification.The research station had a Starlink receiver that operates 24/7, and the network here was not much different from that of a modern city. Vera's phone received many push notifications every day, but it was always on silent mode with vibration turned off so as not to disturb Penny and Ruby's cultivation. But just now, the scre
As for everyone else, Charlie would keep the secret from them for now, judging the situation and then decide accordingly.He then thought he should explore the other levels of the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city too.However, when he tried to exit through the windows around the pagoda, he ran into invisible barriers that he couldn't pass through, preventing him from leaving.He didn't even know which floor of the pagoda he was on, only that there were no stairs or exits. It puzzled him—he had been teleported here by a portal that suddenly appeared in the temple called Trinity Heart, but all nine portals here corresponded to places outside Antarctica. He could go to those nine places located on different continents and in different countries, but he couldn't even leave the pagoda?Even as he was left unsure what to do, a detailed map of the entire subterranean city suddenly appeared in his mind. Moreover, it had eighteen portals marked into it, each usable with a different
Charlie never expected to travel the entire subterranean city to find nothing, only to discover the spirit stones stored in Vera's ring all this time!And it was no exaggeration to say that it was a generous amount, for after an actual count, Charlie saw that there must be over two thousand!On top of that, every single spirit stone contained a huge amount of Reiki, and at least a dozen times denser compared to the density of Reiki in the Peace and Wealth pebble. The best ones had to be a hundredfold denser too!It was a huge number even for Charlie, and he felt like a wage slave who spent not more than a hundred dollars a day, suddenly inheriting a trillion dollars in assets. With so much Reiki at his disposal, he had no idea what he should even use it for.Naturally, he could directly absorb it, but since coming here to the subterranean city, he had come to realize how much of a waste that was.For cultivators, spirit stones were high-voltage batteries and an omnipotent power
With that in mind, Charlie examined the ring engraved with the number 2804 on it and murmured softly, "If I were to design this ring, since I have already integrated the teleportation ward into it, I would definitely also integrate a pocket dimension into it, as void storage for any supplies I need to carry. "That way, each cultivator sent out to collect resources would not be a single person, but basically a full transport convoy. They could carry a copious number of resources back to the base through the portal, whether it was stacks of raw tree trunks, tons of boulders, or spirit stones. Anything stored in the void pocket will be brought back with relative ease."Brushing his fingers over the engraving, he murmured to himself, "I wonder if those cultivators were thinking the same thing?Even as he finished, he felt a warmth from the ring, followed by a mental incantation that appeared in his mind.Charlie had no idea what it did, but as he trusted this place, he didn't hesitate
On the way back, Charlie received a push notification on his phone.This notification was a piece of news with the headlines ‘Japanese talented female combat and fighting athlete, Ito Nanako, is out of danger. Doctors said that she might have to bid farewell to the ring in the future!’As soon as he s
The other two helicopters caught up directly with the two cars that the Iga ninjas were escaping in.Since the Iga ninjas were all on the highway bridge, there was nowhere for them to hide at all. They were simply driving away frantically as they tried to escape, but the helicopters were already appr
The reason why Quinn took off her mask was because the woman in front of her was Charlie’s university friend. She felt that she should have the basic courtesy and respect in front of Charlie’s university friend no matter whether she positioned herself as Charlie’s friend or fiancée for the past twen
With a cold expression, Loreen stated, “Dad, I’m not interested. Please don’t ask me again to get to know him!”With that, she looked at Charlie and added, “Charlie, let’s go inside!”“You!” Javier chided angrily. “Why are you so stubborn? If you could be with the young master of the Golding family, y
