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
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
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
