Regardless of Caden’s average strength, after many years of practicing Taoism, Caden had accumulated an extraordinary demeanor. In addition, he was basically in a semi-individual state for many years as a Taoist. He was malnourished to a certain extent which made him look as skinny as firewood, and his constant training in martial arts made his skinny body look very strong, which gave people a sense of inscrutability. His long white beard gave him an even more aristocratic feeling. His temperament was exceptional in the metaphysical circle and even in the art circle.For example, everyone would think that one was somewhat boring if he did not even have a beard in the profession of a director, painter, or even a fortune teller. If one had a big beard, one would get a crowd of fans cheering even if he simply painted a few strokes on the canvas with a paintbrush.Caden, who had an extraordinary temperament, stepped in front of Charlie, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone, “M
When Caden saw that it was already eight o’clock, he excused himself from Charlie and Porter and then stepped in front of everyone, facing them.Caden reached out and touched his long beard before saying loudly, “Everyone, welcome to the first martial arts training conference hosted by Master Wade! I’m Caden Howton, the thirty-ninth leader of the Taoist Sect, and I’m fortunate to have received Master Wade’s appreciation, so I’m here to teach martial arts to all of you. In the upcoming period of time, I will impart what I’ve learned throughout my life to you without reservation, and I hope to be able to make progress together with you!”The students standing across from him applauded loudly as soon as he was done speaking. Caden waited for the applause to stop before he continued, “In this lecture, I will teach you all the contents of the first chapter of the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method without reservation. As the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method is a very detailed martial arts mental cu
Isaac reminded him, “Master Howton said that we should remember not to skip the level of practice when it comes to martial arts, but we should practice slowly and steadily. We are now learning a theoretical curse before learning to drive. We have to understand the theory first and then get into the car to practice. This is actually quite good as we will be learning step by step.”Albert chuckled and said, “I want to achieve a breakthrough in my strength as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will show my skills to my subordinates and let them know that I’m still young!”Charlie stepped forward and said with a smile, “It seems that Mr. Cameron has a better understanding than Albert.”When the two men noticed that Charlie was coming over, they quickly said respectfully, “Master Wade! Young Master!”Charlie nodded slightly at the two of them and said, “The journey to martial arts is a long one, so the initial foundation is particularly important. Albert, you must remember not to
The Ackers had long known that Lady Acker wanted to go to Aurous Hill. Moreover, her decision had already been approved by the whole family. After experiencing the crisis that almost wiped out their family, the Ackers had lost interest in career, money, and status, and they hoped to try their best to make up for the shortcomings in their lives in the future. The greatest regret for the Ackers was naturally Ashley’s death, and this was followed closely by Charlie’s whereabouts. Ashley’s death was irreparable, and the only thing that they could do to make amends now was to find Charlie. This was especially so as Lord Acker’s Alzheimer’s disease was becoming more and more serious. The Ackers did not want to find Charlie in the future when Lord Acker had completely forgotten Charlie. As the general person in charge of the Acker family’s internal affairs, Christian had arranged for his subordinates to buy the villas in Willow Manor in Aurous Hill in advance. At the same time, he h
Kaeden and Lulu nodded in agreement as well.Lady Acker said happily, “That’s good. From now on, as long as the Qing Eliminating Society is not destroyed, the only ones who can make the decision for all the major affairs of our family are me, Keith, and the four of you siblings. The descendants of the Ackers who are less than twenty-four years old are not allowed to interfere, nor can any outsiders be trusted completely.”Everyone nodded. Lady Acker’s actions were unanimously approved by everyone in this time of emergency. Lady Acker then said to Christian, “Christian, please contact Merlin and see what he’s doing now. If he has time, ask him to come to Aurous Hill with us. Aside from Nana, Merlin is the only outsider I trust at the moment. No one should be better at finding a person than him, so he will definitely be of great help to us if he can come with us.”Christian said immediately, “No problem. I will call Merlin later to see if he is available.”Lady Acker urged, “Don’t
He called Charlie immediately. It was already nighttime in Aurous Hill, and Charlie was watching television in the living room on the first floor with his family.When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Merlin, he went out to the yard and answered the call.Merlin said over the other end of the line, “Mr. Wade, your uncle asked me to go to Aurous Hill with him and your grandparents. The purpose is to find clues about you. We will be leaving tonight. I already agreed to his request, so I wonder if you have any instructions for me?”Charlie was not surprised when he heard Merlin’s words. After all, when he went to Willow Manor with Caden a few days ago, he already knew that his grandmother’s family would be leaving for Aurous Hill soon.Therefore, he said to Merlin, “You can help them investigate as usual. I will handle all the clues in Aurous Hill, but you have to communicate with me in advance and let me know where you’re going to start.”Merlin said, “I guess we will just
Merlin packed some simple clothing and supplies in the afternoon in the United States and took off from Houston to New York in the Gulfstream business jet arranged by the Acker. Christian arranged a flight for Merlin from New York to Aurous Hill at night. After Merlin landed in New York, he could transfer directly to the Ackers’ passenger plane to Aurous Hill.Although only Keith, Holly, and Christian from the Ackers would be going to Aurous Hill this time, they were accompanied by many maids, assistants, servants, and nearly a hundred well-trained bodyguards. Therefore, Christian arranged for a private jet modified from a Boeing 748. This large wide-body passenger aircraft was divided into two levels. The upper level had a small living room with two rooms, and the lower level had more than a hundred standard business class seats as well as a resting room for shift crews.When Merlin landed in New York, the Ackers and their entourage had just completed boarding at the exclusive h
Lady Acker said, “Charlie is already twenty-eight this year. We might even have a grandson after finding him.”Keith was stunned, then nodded before he looked out the window blankly without saying another word. Merlin asked Lady Acker in a low voice, “Aunt Holly, did Uncle Keith’s condition get even more serious?”Lady Acker nodded and said, “His condition seems to be a little worse than it was before. I spend more than half the time when I’m awake explaining the situation to him over and over again, but he seems to forget all about it most of the time after turning around.”After saying that, Lady Acker added, “The reason why I’m in such a hurry to go to Aurous Hill is also because of this. I’m afraid that if I delay it any longer, Keith will not be able to remember him even if we meet Charlie.”Merlin sighed and thought to himself, ‘Sigh… Charlie has divine powers that can even save me, so it would definitely be easy for him to cure the old man’s Alzheimer’s disease. Even if he
