Caden was even more embarrassed. He hastily coughed twice and blurted out, “Sonia, the reason why I invited Master Wade to come over is because he has a very deep friendship with me. Secondly, Master Wade also lives in Aurous Hill…” Sonia did not believe Caden’s words at all and said coldly, “Master, since I came in, I noticed that you’ve been very respectful to Mr. Wade. I believe that the reason why you want me to come to Aurous Hill is because you plan to pass the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me here and you want to prove your allegiance to Mr. Wade, right?”Caden did not expect that Sonia would hit the nail on the head. His face reddened as he said, “Sonia, to tell you the truth, I’ve devoted most of my life to the Taoist Sect, and I would like to do something that I want to do just for myself now. If you still regard me as your master, don’t make things difficult for me anymore, and stop asking me for an explanation. I will stay in Aurous Hill to cultivate after
“Medicine cauldron?!” Caden was stunned for a moment when he heard Sonia’s question. He was very puzzled as he thought to himself, ‘How did Sonia know about the medicine cauldron? Didn’t my master say at the beginning that this secret would only be known to the leader of the Taoist Sect and that this secret should not be told to anyone else? Why would he tell Sonia about this matter?!’As he thought about this, he deliberately beat around the bush and asked, “Sonia, where did you hear about this medicine cauldron? Why don’t I know anything about it?”Sonia frowned, and her tone sounded a little exasperated as she said, “Master, back then, your master told me that there is a treasure in the Taoist Sect. He told me that it’s a medicine cauldron with miraculous effects. He said that only the future leader of the Taoist Sect is qualified to inherit this treasure. Since you’ve already decided to pass on the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me, you should also pass the medici
Sonia said angrily, “Master, what’s the difference between you and a father who has lost his son telling his family ‘Let’s pretend that we never had a son’ after he goes home? Do you think it’s appropriate?!”Caden had an extremely embarrassed expression. He could only bite the bullet and say, “The medicine cauldron is indeed gone, and I have no way of getting it back. What do you want me to do?”Sonia questioned him, “I need to know where the medicine cauldron is and who has it!”Caden avoided her gaze and hesitated as he said, “Sonia… Since the medicine cauldron is already gone, what’s the point of you holding on and questioning me about it? What you should do now is to take the leader token with you and return to the Taoist Sect to carry out your duties as the leader of the Taoist Sect!”Sonia continued reasoning with him, “Since you’ve already passed the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me, it is my obligation to recover the treasure that has been passed down for th
“You!” Sonia did not expect that Charlie would reject her proposal so directly. Sonia, who had never been rejected by anyone before could not help but question Charlie with some displeasure, “Mr. Wade, I don’t know how the treasure of the Taoist Sect ended up in your hands, but I believe that you should not have gotten it through despicable means.”Charlie sneered and said, “Miss Letterman, it’s a little self-centered if you jump to conclusions without finding out what happened. Wouldn’t you know whether I obtained the medicine cauldron using fair and square means if you simply asked your master about it?”Caden, who was aside, hurriedly said, “Sonia, don’t be rude to Master Wade! Master Wade obtained the medicine cauldron in an upright manner! In fact, I was the one who gave it to Master Wade voluntarily!”Sonia was furious and asked him, “Master, the medicine cauldron belongs to the Taoist Sect, and you were just guarding it on behalf of the Taoist Sect! What rights did you have
When Sonia thought of this, she said immediately, “Mr. Wade, I won’t lie to you, but I can give you a very generous reward as long as you’re willing to sell the medicine cauldron to me. This can ensure that you will have no worries about your food and clothing for the rest of your life!”Charlie smiled and said, “Miss Letterman, you can try to make a bid. I’ll see if you’re really generous.”Sonia glanced at Charlie and said arrogantly, “If you are willing to sell me the medicine cauldron, I can pay you one hundred million US dollars on the spot!”In Sonia’s opinion, one hundred million US dollars was a huge sum of money for anyone. For most people, it was an astronomical figure that one would not even dare to dream of. Therefore, she thought that it was already an extremely sincere offer. However, after Charlie heard the offer, he simply smiled faintly and said, “Miss Letterman, I didn’t expect you to be quite generous.”Sonia said expressionlessly, “My offer is only valid for t
Charlie smiled mischievously and said, “I’ll know whether you’re bragging or not once I try it.”Sonia frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”Charlie smiled and said, “Miss Letterman, why don’t you stretch out your hand so I can read your palm?”“Imbecile!” Sonia reprimanded Charlie sternly, “I didn’t think that apart from being a smooth talker, you also have such dirty thoughts!”Charlie smiled and said, “Miss Letterman, you misunderstand me. I’m not planning to take advantage of you. I just want to verify whether you are bragging when you say that you will never owe others favors!”Sonia snorted coldly, clenched her teeth, and said, “I will never brag about that!”Charlie nodded and said, “Miss Letterman, why don’t you stretch out your hand and we will know the results in a minute, then.”Sonia stretched out her hand in front of Charlie angrily and said, “I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeves!”Charlie smiled lightly and then reached out his hand and held Sonia’s
Sonia originally did not regain her senses from the reality of breaking through to the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm in an instant, so she was still in a daze and could not figure out what Charlie meant when he said these words. Before she could react, Caden, who was aside, suddenly looked at Sonia and exclaimed, “Sonia… w-why did you become a five-star martial artist again?!”This cry of surprise was like a basin of cold water that woke Sonia up completely. Only then did she realize that her cultivation level had changed again within a very short period of time. She had regressed to being a five-star martial artist from being a Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm expert.Sonia was appalled and could not figure out how Charlie had managed to temper with her cultivation in the blink of an eye!It was also at this moment that she realized that Charlie’s strength was so powerful that it was beyond her imagination!She instantly felt extremely lost a
After seeing Charlie out, Caden trotted all the way back, closed the door, and said to Sonia with great regret, “Sonia, you’re really muddle-headed! I’ve been practicing martial arts for most of my life, and I’ve never seen anyone like Master Wade. It’s a great opportunity for you to meet a master like Master Wade who has such divine powers, and it’s an even greater opportunity to have Master Wade’s guidance. Why did you have to offend him?”Sonia had a dull expression as she asked, “Master, what is Mr. Wade’s origin? No matter how talented a person is, it will take at least several years or more than dozens of years for a person to cultivate from a five-star martial artist to reach the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm. How did he open up three of my meridians in an instant?”Caden sighed and exclaimed, “Sonia, Master Wade’s divine power has long exceeded our understanding. The reason why I decided to pass the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to you is becaus
At ten o'clock in the morning, a private jet converted from a Boeing 747-8 landed at Aurous Airport. Once Julien, heir of the Rothschild family, and his entourage had arrived, customs clearance was completed as quickly as possible. The family's staff stationed in Oskia had been waiting for his arrival. Although it was unknown when Julien would be in power, for them, he was the second-in-command of the family, so they treated him with great respect. As Julien left the airport, a Cadillac convoy was parked outside. These vehicles were all ordered by the Rothschild family from the United States, featuring the same models as those used by the president. Although they didn't appear as extravagant and luxurious as Rolls-Royce cars, each of these vehicles costs much more than a Rolls-Royce Phantom. In fact, the old money families had already abandoned Rolls-Royce a long time ago. Nowadays, Rolls-Royce wonders were more often young second-generation rich individuals or those who su
Before Sonia could fully understand the meaning behind Charlie's words, he had already reached out and gently tapped her shoulder. In that instant, Sonia felt her previously sealed sixth meridian completely open! Her cultivation immediately broke through into the six-star warrior rank. Every advancement in a small realm brought a refreshing feeling, and Sonia clearly sensed the changes within herself. She was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, unable to control her tears of joy. Just a few minutes ago, she was feeling frustrated and desperate about her future cultivation, but Charlie had so generously opened her sixth meridian for her. To be clear, even if Charlie hadn't sealed her three meridians, she still wouldn't have reached the stage of breakthrough to a six-star warrior yet. Even though she was in the late stages of becoming a five-star warrior, it would have taken at least a few more years to make a breakthrough. What Charlie did not only removed the shackles on
At one point, Sonia thought about summoning the courage to go to Charlie and beg him for mercy. But upon the thought of her previous arrogance and outrageous remarks, she resisted the urge. Thus, she became even more depressed and sat cross-legged, staring at the floor. Charlie only needed a glance to notice Sonia's dejection. After all, in a crowd of people cheering excitedly, she sat there silently, looking completely out of place. Charlie knew very well that Sonia's frustration was undoubtedly because he had sealed her meridians. On her own, she no longer had the possibility of further advancement. Recalling her earlier disrespectful remarks, he chalked it up to the personality of a young martial arts fanatic. It wasn't that Charlie was petty or unwilling to let go of past grievances, but the key issue was that he had already opened all of her meridians in one go. If he were to seal them back up, she would instantly become a master at the Great Perfection Realm of Illu
Albert then selected a few students to help him distribute a bottle of oral fluid to everyone. Even Caden, who had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, got his share. After the distribution, Charlie said, "What you're holding in your hands is a special supplement for strengthening the body and the meridians. After you take it, it will help your cultivation. If you happen to be at the critical stage of a realm breakthrough, you might be able to complete the breakthrough with this bottle of supplement." Everyone was especially excited when they heard that it was a medicine that could improve cultivation. For martial artists, the most valuable things were complete internal capabilities and supplements that could improve strength. Many martial artists spent their entire lives in arduous cultivation without ever receiving the assistance of any medicinal elixir. At times, they could feel that they were just one step away from breaking through to the nex
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
