Charlie’s plan was complete and meticulous, and the degree of implementation was also high enough as he gave everyone a very clear division of labor. As long as these people could follow his orders at the critical moment and carry out their own tasks methodically, they would certainly be able to make a perfect response in the shortest possible time.Moreover, Charlie believed that when the day came when the plan to overturn the base was implemented, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Qing Eliminating Society.At that moment, the Qing Eliminating Society would realize that the poison they had used to control their members had been broken, and internal chaos would ensue first. They would definitely undergo a huge change at that time.It would be like a person who was invulnerable to swords and spears suddenly getting his arm broken by a sudden bullet. The group of people was also excited at this time because they knew that Charlie’s plan to overturn the base would definitely
Therefore, in the field of martial arts, the vast majority of martial arts techniques were not passed onto outsiders but were only passed on to one’s own descendants and clan members. For some martial arts clans, they would also divide their martial arts techniques into several parts. The external disciples would only be able to learn a small portion, whereas the internal disciples would be able to learn some essence. However, if one really wanted to learn all the martial arts techniques in the clan, one had to be the most trustworthy and close disciple for it to be possible. Charlie had asked Pilos to teach these dead soldiers and members of the Armed Calvary Guards. Even if a normal person were to agree, he would definitely hesitate and even struggle.However, Pilos did not hesitate at all, and he did not intend to hide any secrets. It could be seen just from this point alone that this person was sincerely obedient and full of sincerity.Therefore, Charlie nodded, looked at him
Charlie had never been stingy to those who followed him sincerely. Back then, Porter had led all the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies up to Mount Wintry. Charlie could still repair Porter’s meridians after he had destroyed them even with such deep hatred. Charlie had also helped him directly enter the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm and the Dark Realm. Now that Pilos had sincerely surrendered without any reservation, Charlie naturally wanted to help him as well. Moreover, Pilos had been trapped in the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm for thirty years, so it would definitely be the greatest favor of his life if Charlie could help him achieve a breakthrough this time.Therefore, Charlie planned to take advantage of this opportunity to be a man of honor. Pilos still felt extremely grateful in his heart at this moment. When he heard Charlie say that he could achieve a breakthrough into the Dark Realm by taking these pills, he trembled uncontrollab
‘If one does not enter the Dark Realm, one will never be able to experience such a wonderful feeling in one’s life! I have waited for thirty years, and it’s all worth it now!’As Pilos thought of this, he opened his eyes and saw Charlie’s face again with tears in his eyes. He bowed and groveled once more as he said excitedly, “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. Wade! I... I’ve finally broken through to the Dark Realm!”Charlie smiled slightly and said seriously, “The Dark Realm is just a new beginning. The road ahead will be even more difficult and farther than the decades you’ve gone through before. If you can step into the Great Perfection Realm of the Dark Realm before you’re hundred years old, it will no longer be a luxury for you to live to a hundred and forty or a hundred and fifty years old. Your lifespan could even be extended by another thirty or fifty years.”As Charlie spoke of this, he suddenly said seriously, “However, the longer you live, the more effort you
That morning at ten o’clock, Lucian, who was the special envoy, and his male companion were sent to the pier by the convoy.Since the members of the copper mine still needed to conceal their identities, the Section Ambassador and the others would not get off the car during the normal send-off session.Therefore, Pilos did not get out of the car this time either. He watched Lucian and his male companion get out of the car and watched as they stepped onto the cargo ship.The guards and crew members on the cargo ship bowed respectfully to Lucian when they saw him and greeted him respectfully as the Special Envoy Master.However, Lucian seldom responded, and he would only hum in response at most. He then walked toward his office without looking back.Upon entering the room with his male companion, the captain came to the door, knocked on the door, and said respectfully, “Special Envoy Master, our cargo has been loaded. Do you want to leave the port?”At this time, the strong psycho
“Add three more Dark Realm experts?!”Porter was a little dumbfounded by Charlie’s words.Although he was a Dark Realm expert now, he knew very well in his heart just how rare a Dark Realm expert was. It was not an exaggeration to say that Porter had never seen anyone who could break through the Dark Realm through his own cultivation. Firstly, he could only break through to the Dark Realm because of Charlie’s support.Secondly, his master, who had failed to achieve a breakthrough for thirty years, was finally able to achieve his wish only thanks to the opportunity given to him by Charlie. As for the Qing Eliminating Society’s special envoy, Lucian, and the Section Ambassador, Troy, they had also been trained in the Qing Eliminating Society’s Hubbert Battalion.Therefore, so far, Porter had never heard of any Dark Realm expert who had achieved a breakthrough on their own. This was why Porter was both shocked and happy when he heard that Charlie was going to add three more Da
The mighty Qing Eliminating Society did not know that they had permanently lost their base in Cyprus.A few hours later, Charlie returned to his wife, Claire’s side, in Providence. Claire only thought that her husband had finished reading Feng Shui for a client again, but she did not know that he had traveled all over Northern Europe, Syria, Lebanon, and Cyprus over the past few days in order to fight against the most mysterious and powerful organization in the world.By the time he had returned to Providence, Claire’s master class at Rhode Island School of Design had also come to an end.Rhode Island School of Design prepared a special graduation ceremony for the master class, and Claire had told Charlie about it two days in advance, asking him to accompany her to the ceremony.Charlie naturally did not refuse. After all, his wife had studied hard in the master class for more than a month. Now that she was graduating, he naturally had to accompany her to attend her graduation ce
Charlie smiled and said, “Who would want to come all the way to the United States to serve him? I could do him a favor and take a look at his Feng Shui if he buys a villa in Aurous Hill, but forget it if it’s in the United States.”Claire could not help but laugh out loud and say, “You’re really getting too arrogant!”After that, Claire thought of Elaine and quickly asked him, “By the way, Honey, how is my mother doing in New York? She always refuses to answer my video calls these days, and she would only be willing to chat with me when it’s voice calls. I feel that she’s hiding something from me.”Charlie thought to himself, ‘Of course she’s hiding something from you. You can’t imagine that her leg is broken now and that this Ferocious Ghost of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility is recuperating in a hospital in New York. Wouldn’t she expose herself if she video calls you?’However, Charlie still smiled and said comfortingly, “Don’t think too much about it. It’s not as if you don’
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely
"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam
Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa
With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—
