The fist of an eight-star martial artist was as strong as a fully loaded heavy truck.When all the surging power was concentrated on the fist made up of four fingers, the force that came with the wind was even more appalling!Not to mention that Charlie could clearly feel the strong impact of the wind, even Xyla, who was two meters away, could clearly feel a surge similar to a hurricane blowing against her face.Xyla was extremely nervous at this moment. She could not hide her panic and blurted out anxiously, “Be careful, Master Wade!” She heard a loud bang before she could finish speaking. The powerful impact caused Xyla’s eardrums and her internal organs to be shaken from the tremendous impact. Anthony heard his granddaughter yelling, so he could not continue obeying Charlie’s order to wait at the back anymore. He ran out nervously to see what was going on.However, when the grandfather and granddaughter duo looked toward Charlie and Caden, they realized that the two of them
Charlie smiled and said indifferently, “I heard that you came to Aurous Hill to find clues about the Rejuvenating Pill?”After Caden heard this, his heart skipped a beat!He finally came to a realization at the moment. ‘It turns out that Master Wade has targeted me for a long time… I naively thought that I’d set up a trap for Anthony Simmons, but I didn’t expect that I’d fall into Master Wade’s trap instead!”At the same time, he could not help but wonder, ‘Not many people know about the fact that I came here for the Rejuvenating Pill aside from the people in the Acker family who were at the Acker family mansion that day and Quinn Golding who brought the Healing Pill to save Keith… Could it be that Charlie knows them?!”As he thought of this, a thought suddenly came to Caden’s mind. He instantly came to a realization and trembled as he said, “Master Wade… Could… Could it be that you’re the one who refined the Rejuvenating Pill?!”Charlie smiled. “You’re pretty smart.”When Caden
When Charlie said that he would accept it reluctantly, Caden felt his heart aching, and he felt as if it was about to bleed out. This medicine cauldron was passed down to him by the ancestors of the Taoist Sect, and dozens of patriarchs of the Taoist Sect had used this medicine cauldron to refine pills for hundreds of thousands of years. It could definitely be regarded as a treasure of the Taoist Sect.Caden felt that he would not be able to face his ancestors after his death now that the treasure of the Taoist Sect, which had been handed down for thousands of years, had been taken away by Charlie.But there was no other way now. This thing was already in Charlie’s hands. He could not fight against him, nor could he scold him. He was completely defeated in front of Charlie.Therefore, Caden’s current thought was that it would be the blessing of his ancestors if he could save his life in Serene World Clinic today. Smoke would be coming out of their graves, so how could he still ret
The efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill Plus would definitely be stronger than the Rejuvenating Pill but how much stronger it would be would depend on the level of the medicine cauldron itself.Certain aspects of refining pills were very similar to iron smelting.If it was just refining pills with Reiki, it was like the ancients smelting iron. Although using high-heat charcoal with bellows could barely reach the temperature needed for iron smelting, if the temperature was not enough, the quality of the smelted iron would be much worse compared to the high-temperature blast furnace of the modern industry. This medicine cauldron was equivalent to a blast furnace in modern iron smelting!If the most primitive method was used for the same iron ore, the most one could do was to make some swords and knives, but if one were to smelt iron from the modern blast furnace, it could be used to make airplanes, cannons, and even aircraft carriers. Moreover, one would only be able to refine some
When Charlie heard Caden’s answer, he could not help but ask curiously, “The medicine that is cooked with a small fire in the medicine cauldron will be more effective than the others?”“Yes, that’s right!” Caden nodded repeatedly and explained, “This kind of strength is also very magical. No matter whether you use it to refine soup or pills, it can make your final medicine much more effective!”With that said, Caden added, “For example, let me write a prescription now. This prescription can nourish yin and replenish yang, and it can revitalize a man’s virility. If it’s boiled in an ordinary casserole dish, it may take three days and nine doses of medicine to be effective, but if the medicine is brewed in this medicine cauldron, it will only take two days and six doses for it to have the same effect.When Caden said this, he was already a little excited as he explained enthusiastically, “This is not the most important thing. What’s most important is that the properties of this medici
If it was any other martial artists, even if they spent all their lives practicing martial arts, it would still be impossible for them to reach the level of an eight-star martial artist. When Caden thought of how Charlie was asking about the Acker family and how he had given Quinn the Healing Pill to save Lord Acker’s life, he thought that Charlie wanted to befriend the Acker family, so he quickly said attentively, “Master Wade, Lady Acker spoke to me on the phone a few days ago. She said that she would be coming to Aurous Hill soon. I can help you get acquainted with the Acker family if you want to establish a connection with them.”Charlie frowned and said, “You’re saying that Lady Acker is coming to Aurous Hill?”“Yes.” Caden said, “Not only is Lady Acker coming, but Lord Acker and the other members of the Acker family will also be coming. Anyway, that’s what Lady Acker said over the phone. She knew that I came to Aurous Hill earlier, so she called me to ask me if I made any dis
Frankly speaking, Charlie did not want his grandparents to come to Aurous Hill.However, he also understood that this matter might not be within his control.After thinking about it over and over again, he looked at Caden, who was in front of him, and suddenly came up with a plan as he said, “Send a message to Lady Acker now saying that you just did a divination for the Acker family, and the Acker family will face a serious threat if they come to Aurous Hill this time. Let her think about it carefully. It’d be best if she retracts this decision.”Caden asked in surprise, “Master Wade, why are you avoiding meeting the Acker family if you gave the Healing Pill that Miss Golding gave to Lord Acker that day?”Charlie said lightly, “I have my own considerations, so you don’t need to say so much.”Caden nodded resentfully, but in the next moment, he rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered something as he blurted out, “I remember now! Miss Golding… She… She’s not just a celebrity, but sh
Caden nodded and answered the call while also tactfully putting the call on loudspeaker at the same time.Charlie’s grandmother’s voice came from the phone as she asked anxiously, “Master Howton, you said in your text message that there is a bad omen if we go to Aurous Hill this time. I wonder what’s the specific situation?”Caden could only make up some nonsense as he said, “I observed the stars at night and did a divination for the Acker family. The divination showed that Aurous Hill is a very bad omen for the Acker family, so I hurriedly told you that it’d be best for the Acker family not to come here in the near future.”Lady Acker pondered for a moment and then said seriously, “Master Howton, the Acker family is already making preparations to go to Aurous Hill. We’re going to Aurous Hill this time in order to find my grandson who has disappeared for twenty years. I think that he disappeared in Aurous Hill back then, so we’ve decided to start over this year, and we have to go to
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
