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’
Charlie could see that Claire still regarded Kathleen as a friend.However, the huge disparity in their social status also made her feel a little discouraged. Charlie understood this very well.Moreover, Charlie did not really want his wife to get too close to Kathleen.On one hand, Kathleen already knew his identity, so she might reveal clues about his identity to his wife if she got too close to Kathleen. On the other hand, Kathleen was simply too smart. In contrast, in front of Kathleen, Claire was like an elementary school student who was facing a graduate student. One was too smart, and the other was too naïve. Compromising with the other party would definitely be exhausting.Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, it was best for the two of them to maintain this current state. So, Charlie digressed and asked Claire, “Honey, what time does the graduation ceremony start in the evening?”Claire said, “The graduation ceremony starts from around 5.00 pm to 5.30 pm.”Charlie nodde
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
