“We’re still at the clinic...” Xyla sobbed and said, “Grandpa intends to pack everything up tonight.”“Okay!” Charlie said immediately, “Wait for me at the clinic. I’ll go there now!”When Charlie drove and arrived at Anthony’s Serene World Clinic, the signboard of the clinic had been taken off and had been casually discarded to the side. There was also a signboard wrapped in red satin silk at the door, but it was impossible to see what was written on the signboard at the moment.When Charlie arrived at the Serene World Clinic, Anthony was packing up all kinds of medicinal herbs and materials from the medicine cabinet with Xyla and his worker’s help.Xyla saw Charlie coming in and shouted excitedly, “Master Wade!” After saying that, she ran toward Charlie, threw herself into Charlie’s arms, and started crying. Charlie quickly asked her, “Xyla, what exactly happened? Tell me everything.”Anthony also saw Charlie’s expression at this time. He was shocked and staggered over wit

Charlie did not expect that the reason Anthony wanted to leave Aurous Hill was because he had lost Serene World Clinic because he had lost a bet to someone. What’s more, he did not expect that the reason why Anthony had made the bet with the other party was to win a medicine cauldron for himself. He asked with some doubt, “Dr. Simmons, who is the person who made the bet with you?”“I don’t know either.” Anthony replied, “That man is quite wild. He only said that his last name is Howton and he is known as Master Howton.”“Master Howton?” Charlie frowned when he heard these two words. After Quinn had delivered the Healing Pill to her grandfather, Charlie had heard her mention this name once. According to Quinn, this person was a senior Taoist priest in the American Oskian circle and was known as Master Howton. He was very close to Charlie’s grandmother and he had even made a special trip to provide treatment for Charlie’s grandfather when he was critically ill. He had even had

Charlie asked again, “How did you choose the test subject at the time? Is there a possibility that this person arranged for a patient to come over in advance and secretly colluded with her before he then came looking for you to propose the method of competition to win you?” “Well...” Anthony pondered for a moment and murmured, “I don’t have any evidence to prove it, but I can’t rule out this possibility.”After saying that, Anthony said seriously, “But Master Wade, Taoism has always placed emphasis on cultivating one’s mind and nature, so Master Howton shouldn’t be so shameless, right?” Charlie asked him again, “If he’s really a person with a cultivated mind and nature, why would he come here to bet with others? It’s just like the monks in the temple and priests in the church. How could they really cultivate their mind and nature if they hang out with those rich and powerful people all day long?The reason why Charlie said this was because Quinn had mentioned that Master Howton h
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5312
Charlie knew that Master Howton was here this time for the Healing Pill. Since he had already found and approached Anthony, Charlie could not let him continue to stay in Aurous Hill regardless of whether he knew of his identity or not.Therefore, the best thing to do right now was to take the initiative. However, Charlie had also considered one thing, that was, whether Master Howton would have also met his parents as well since Master Howton was familiar with his grandmother. If Master Howton had met them before, he might be able to guess Charlie’s identity based on the similarity in Charlie and Curtis’s appearance. Charlie’s plan was to detain Master Howton directly without a doubt if he questioned his identity. He then said to Anthony, “Dr. Simmons, you and Xyla should go home first. Don’t worry about things here. I’ll be here on time in the morning tomorrow!”Anthony hesitated for a moment but still nodded in agreement and said respectfully, “Okay, Master Wade. I’ll come b

Charlie was somewhat impressed that a Taoist priest could possess the strength of an eight-star martial artist. At this moment, Master Howton felt a little annoyed when no one answered him after he spoke. He asked, “Where is Anthony Simmons?! He dares to keep Serene World Clinic’s signboard but he is hiding and does not dare to show his face?!”Charlie deliberately coughed twice, stretched his waist lazily, stood up, and said in dissatisfaction, “Why are you yelling so early in the morning? Is there something wrong with your brain? If there is something wrong with you, you should call for help and go to the emergency room at the hospital instead. We can’t help you here!” Master Howton looked at Charlie who had suddenly stood up, frowned, and asked, “Who are you?”Charlie was still worried that Master Howton might have seen his father before, so he deliberately asked, “Why? Haven’t you seen me before?”Master Howton stared at Charlie, then asked coldly, “Young lad, I didn’t see y

“Damn you!”Master Howton clenched his teeth in anger!He did not expect that this brat in front of him would be so rude to the point that it made people want to kill him!He was obviously the one who was sparing his life and letting him off the hook, but instead of being grateful and acknowledging it, Charlie was even saying such disrespectful words to him! If this could be tolerated, what could not be?!However, the more Charlie provoked him, the more he did not dare to make a move against Charlie. It was not because he was afraid of Charlie, but it was mainly because he was afraid of causing public security incidents or even a criminal case here. The police would be involved as well once that happened. Although he was an eight-star martial artist, he definitely did not dare to go against the police blatantly in a metropolis such as Aurous Hill.In his opinion, it was very easy for him to kill Charlie. After all, he would be able to beat Charlie’s brains out with just one pu

“My...” Master Howton’s fists were trembling with anger and his body was shaking uncontrollably like a Parkinson’s patient as he clenched his teeth and said, “My name is Caden Howton. Everyone in North America addresses me respectfully as Master Howton!”Charlie curled his lips, looked him up and down, then asked, “They refer to you as Master Howton?”Caden clenched his teeth and said, “That’s right! I’m Master Howton!”Charlie curled his lips and said, “Oh, everyone refers to me as Master Wade, but if you’re Master Howton, do you believe that you’re more powerful than me, then?”Caden thought that Charlie was deliberately mocking him, so he said angrily, “Young lad, you’re really eloquent, but I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you now! I came here today to look for Anthony Simmons. Where is he?! Ask him to come out and talk to me!”As soon as his words fell, Xyla ran in quickly. As she ran, she said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I’ve already done everything you asked me to
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5316
When Caden saw Charlie stretching out his hand to threaten to hit him, he really wanted to tear Charlie into pieces because he had never suffered such humiliation before in his life. However, when he thought of the important matters that he still had to deal with in Aurous Hill and how the police station was just across the street, he could only suppress the great anger and hatred that he felt at the moment. When Charlie saw his angry expression and how he looked like a pressure cooker that was about to explode, he sneered and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t dare to take my pulse? Old man, I think you must have used some cheap tricks to win against Dr. Simmons yesterday! Otherwise, why wouldn’t you dare to take my pulse?” Charlie had originally suspected that Caden had set up a trap for Anthony, and he became even more confident of his suspicion after seeing that the other party was actually an eight-star martial artist. An eight-star martial artist must have spent most of his

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi

Vera was inwardly disappointed to hear that Claire was returning.That meant there were fewer chances of Charlie visiting the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, as were her chances of seeing him again.Still, she didn't let it show, instead asking casually, "How are things at Champs Elys? Are the warriors improving at a rate to your satisfaction?""Well, most of everyone's improvement is within expectations…" Charlie explained, just as he remembered a certain someone. "By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Are you perhaps acquainted with the name Ito Nanako?""Yes," Vera smiled. "The Japanese lady who was with you. What about her?""She attained enlightenment days ago.""Enlightenment?" Vera did a double take and soon pressed, "Enlightenment in what sense? Essential Qi or Reiki?"After all, the former was the path to enlightenment in martial arts, while the latter meant enlightenment in cultivation.But despite the distinction between both domains, enlightenment was a comm

While Charlie had long since gotten used to Elaine and Jacob's bizarre marriage, being near the heart of the storm still took a toll on his senses—to the point that he felt physically sick.Leaving right away was therefore his best solution.Once he left, however, he realized he didn't have anywhere to go. Champs Elys was quite far, and it would take a lot of time.As he started to feel bored stiff, he remembered Vera for some reason and called her.Once Vera answered, she quickly asked in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure? Lunch, perhaps?"Charlie chuckled. "Since you've put it that way… I haven't eaten either, so lunch it is!"Vera giggled. "Come over to my place, then. It's cold outside, and I was just lighting up a hot pot. I'll have Madam Marilyn prepare an additional portion.""Okay!" Charlie agreed to it without hesitation. "I can return her car too. Just wait, I'll be right there!"Once he hung up, he got on the Rolls Roycs he had borrowed from Scarlet Pinnacl
