“Your grandfather?” Charlie asked again, “Who is your grandfather?”Vera said, “My grandfather is Logan Carrick, the richest man in Malaysia.”“Logan Carrick?” Charlie had heard this name more than once when he transferred to Aurous University. Since Logan had donated a lot of education funds to Aurous University and helped Aurous University develop rapidly, his story was well-written into the university’s history. He did not expect Vera to be related to Logan, so he was even more surprised as he asked, “What is your real name?”Vera said without hesitation, “My real name is Vera Lavor.”Charlie asked again, “Logan’s last name is Carrick, and your last name is Lavor. How can he be your grandfather?”Vera said, “He’s a distant relative. He is my grandfather’s distant relative. I turned to him for help after I escaped from Northern Europe. I asked him to help me forge a new identity as Veron Lavor in order not to be discovered. He’s the one who arranged for me to come to Aurous Hi
“Marianne Long?!” Charlie was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, ‘Could it be such a coincidence that there is a female lecturer named Marianne Long?’The next second, he wondered again, ‘She should just happen to have the same name as the Marianne Long I know, right?’However, when Charlie thought about how he had met Vera again here, he felt that it was not impossible if the Marianne he knew had come to Aurous University as well.Therefore, he asked another question, “Where is the Marianne Long that you spoke about from?”Vera answered truthfully, “She’s from Hong Kong. Her father is Shawn Long, a famous wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.”“Oh…” Charlie took a deep breath.He thought to himself, ‘When did Marianne come to Aurous University to be a lecturer here?! Why did a rich heir like her from Hong Kong come to Aurous University to become a lecturer? Why didn’t she tell me that she came to Aurous Hill?’Charlie thought about how Vera actually knew Marianne an
The ring had vibrated for the second time in the underground parking lot at Thompson First. If Vera was telling the truth, it would be completely reasonable if Vera had gone to pick Marianne up to go to Logan’s house for dinner. Charlie only needed to confirm whether Marianne lived in Thompson First to confirm whether Vera was lying or not. He could not find any flaws after reviewing Vera’s answers carefully. With this in mind, he thought to himself, ‘It seems that I need to get someone to check Vera’s entry record to see when she came to Aurous Hill and whether she lied. If she really didn’t lie, all this should be just a coincidence, then.”Charlie suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a familiar voice asked from behind, “Veron, are you used to the dormitory?”Charlie could immediately tell that it was Marianne’s voice!In order to prevent Marianne from discovering Vera’s abnormal state, Charlie erased Vera’s previous memory immediately. While Vera was still in
Charlie had just accidentally asked about Marianne’s situation from Vera. However, after Marianne said it herself, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, “When did you come to work at Aurous University?”Marianne could only explain truthfully, “Well, Aurous University has an Outstanding Talent Introduction Program, so I tried applying for it. I was invited to come and attend the interview, and I passed the interview…”Marianne’s tone sounded very uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents. Charlie knew that Marianne had most likely come to Aurous Hill because of him. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, so he subconsciously said, “Although Aurous University is not as good as Hong Kong University, it is still a very good university…”Marianne nodded slightly, looked at Charlie, and stuttered as she said, “I… I think it’s pretty good as well…”Vera, who was aside, seemed to have just returned to her senses.
Charlie’s suspicion of Vera had basically been dispelled at this point.However, Charlie was still frowning even though he did believe that Vera did not know his true identity. Although he basically believed that Vera’s appearance in Aurous Hill was just a coincidence, he was still vaguely worried.The Qing Eliminating Society had been after Vera the last time Charlie had seen her.Now that she had come to Aurous Hill, if the Qing Eliminating Society found any clues about her, they would definitely learn from the last experience and lesson and send the most powerful martial arts experts to Aurous Hill to catch her.Furthermore, Charlie’s grandparents had also arrived in Aurous Hill, and their family was also an important target of the Qing Eliminating Society. In that case, the Qing Eliminating Society’s two major targets would be in Aurous Hill, and the probability that the Qing Eliminating Society would attack in Aurous Hill would be greatly increased. Now that the Qing Eli
When Marianne saw Charlie standing at the door in a daze, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, what’s wrong?”Charlie regained his senses and smiled as he said, “Oh, I was preoccupied with something else. I’m sorry.”The waitress then came over and said, “Please come in.”Charlie nodded. When he followed the waiter in, he specially looked at the small bell hanging on the sliding door and was instantly inspired. If the Qing Eliminating Society were to really send a great earl to Aurous Hill in the future, he had to have a ‘bell’ that could warn him in advance.After sitting down with Marianne, Charlie took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Zachary, who sold antiques at Antique Street, asking Zachary to meet him at Champs Elys hot spring villa at noon tomorrow. Zachary had started working as an inept advisor for Albert some time ago, and he did a good job. Albert’s industries and people were reorganized and restructured, which increased his income and management gre
After saying that, Marianne explained, “Madam Marilyn is Mr. Carrick’s housekeeper in Aurous Hill. Veron lives in Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, which is Mr. Carrick’s place, and Madam Marilyn takes care of her.”Charlie was slightly startled when he heard this and suddenly realized that the reason why Vera had a headache was probably because he had placed too much Reiki into her brain at noon and done too much psychological hints on her. The reason why Charlie had used so much Reiki was because he really felt that it was strange when he saw her, and he was afraid that there would be something strange about her. After thinking about it now, if he transferred too much Reiki to an eighteen-year-old girl’s brain, it would definitely cause great damage to her body. Therefore, Vera’s headache and discomfort would probably last for a while. Charlie suddenly felt a little ashamed. He felt that he had overreacted and acted a little too harshly when he had seen Vera.Fortunately, this situatio
Charlie arrived at Champs Elys hot spring villa at noon the next day.Zachary arrived an hour in advance to wait for Charlie. When he saw Charlie, he said respectfully, “Master Wade, what are your orders for me?”Charlie smiled faintly and asked him, “Zachary, did you bring the things that I asked you to bring?”Zachary nodded repeatedly, took out a bag from the car, and said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I’ve brought everything you asked for!” Charlie responded, “Great! Let’s go in and talk.”Charlie brought Zachary to the living room in the villa. Zachary then opened up the suitcase impatiently and took out several pieces of wood that were all as black as charcoal but were of different sizes and thickness.As he took the pieces of wood out, he introduced to Charlie, “You said that you wanted Thunderstrike Wood. These are all the reliable Thunderstrike Wood that I could find from yesterday till now. Nine and a half out of ten of the Thunderstrike Wood sold in our market are fakes t
