Soon, the Rolls-Royce driven by Madam Marilyn stopped inside Scarlet Pinnacle Manor’s courtyard. Vera pushed the door open herself without waiting for Madam Marilyn, got out of the car, and walked toward her top-floor courtyard. Without looking back, she said, “Madam Marilyn, starting today, I won't be leaving the house. Just place my three meals outside my courtyard door, knock, and then you can leave.”Madam Marilyn felt surprised. She understood that Vera did not want to participate in the orientation, but she did not understand why Vera wanted to stay indoors without leaving the house.As a servant, she knew better than to ask unnecessary questions, so she said without hesitation, “Okay, Miss Lavor, I understand! Do you have any special requests for your meals?”Vera casually replied, “Anything will do. Just arrange it as you see fit.”After saying that, she quickly ran to the top floor, pushed the door open, and entered her own courtyard. The elderly Logan saw Vera ascendi
In the midst of his contemplation, he suddenly received an online call from the British Lord. His expression changed to surprise, and he quickly answered the call, respectfully saying, “Hello, British Lord.”On the other end of the phone, the cold voice questioned sternly, “Mr. Chardon, when did you arrive in Aurous Hill?”Mr. Chardon hurriedly replied, “British Lord, I arrived in Aurous Hill this morning.”The British Lord continued, “It should be late at night there now. You've been in Aurous Hill for over fifteen hours, so why haven't you dealt with the Ackers yet?”Mr. Chardon’s heart skipped a beat, and he said, “British Lord, I just arrived in Aurous Hill today and haven't had a chance to familiarize myself with the environment yet…”The British Lord pressed on, “Haven't I already told you that the Ackers are residing in the villa at Willow Manor? You only need to arrive at Willow Manor late at night and eliminate them all to avoid any complications in the future. It's a sim
Mr. Chardon was well aware that he could not afford to defy orders again without a suitable reason given that he had previously defied orders by delaying his arrival in Aurous Hill. Not defying orders meant he had to go to Willow Manor immediately and kill the Acker family members who were sleeping, along with everyone protecting them. Such a massive operation would undoubtedly shock the world. It was predictable that as the site of the incident, Aurous Hill would definitely enter an unprecedented state of martial law. If that happened, how could he continue to trace the clues about Zachary and his superior?Therefore, the best way to postpone the operation was to voluntarily disclose the matter of the magic instrument. After all, the magic instrument was precious not only to him but to the British Lord as well. Mr. Chardon thought of withholding the Thunder Order that could summon heavenly thunder, taking out the jade ring, and using it to persuade the British Lord to grant him
Ruby quickly pressed the answer button and said respectfully, “Hello, British Lord!” The British Lord spoke in a somewhat gentle tone over the other end of the line and said, “Ruby, where are you now?”Ruby frowned. She knew that carrying the cell phone given by the British Lord meant he could contact her at any time, twenty-four hours a day, and that he certainly knew her real-time location. However, despite knowing her location, the British Lord still went through the formalities of starting a casual conversation with her. It seemed like he wanted to get closer to her.With that thought in mind, Ruby said respectfully, “I am currently still in the Far East.”The British Lord hummed in response and asked her, “Have you found any clues in the Far East related to Vera?”Ruby quickly replied, “British Lord, I am incompetent and haven't found any information related to Vera yet.”The British Lord smiled and said, “Vera is very cunning. Not finding her is not a reflection of your in
Ruby’s mood became exceptionally disheartened upon hearing the British Lord’s words. Indeed, it was just as she had speculated. The British Lord had a constant hold on the location information of the several great earls. What was even more frightening was that the British Lord could analyze everyone's every movement in great detail based on time, location, and the information available on the local internet.This meant that in her lifetime, she might never be able to escape the British Lord’s control.Despite the great earls being able to execute missions for extended periods without reporting back, they still had the poison configured by the British Lord in their bodies. However, individuals such as them had longer lifespans, so the British Lord set a relatively broad time frame for them to take the antidote. While others had to take the antidote every two weeks, three months, or half a year, the great earls only had to take the antidote once every three years.But what differe
Moreover, she was going to Aurous Hill to monitor Mr. Chardon this time. This meant that she wouldn't have the opportunity to slack off in the days to come. Although she was unwilling, she dared not delay at all and hastily set off in the middle of the night.She paid a high price to buy a car from the hotel owner and traveled from the small city she was in to the Russian Far East city of Yakutsk. Meanwhile, Zachary carried the other jade ring he had taken back from Terry and a bank card with more than one million US dollars in it to indulge in the largest nightclub in Aurous Hill. He was surrounded by beautiful young women as he enjoyed himself thoroughly while drinking to his heart’s content. There were expensive foreign liquors in front of Zachary with a bottle of champagne costing at least ten to twenty thousand dollars. The better ones exceeded the price of one hundred thousand dollars.Additionally, several young and beautiful girls were gathered around Zachary, complimenti
When Zachary rushed to Isaac’s office, his hair was in disarray, and his body exuded a mix of alcohol and perfume. There were even a few bright and charming lipstick marks on his face. Upon seeing Charlie, he hurriedly smiled apologetically and asked, “Master Wade, are you looking for me?”Charlie nodded and asked, “Did you enjoy drinking last night?”Zachary wiped his mouth, grinned, and said, “Master Wade, I drank quite well last night!”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Since you drank well, it’s time for you to get to work in the afternoon.”Zachary stood up straight immediately and inquired respectfully, “Master Wade, what do you want me to do? Just give me your orders!” Charlie hummed in response and asked, “Zachary, did you come back with the other jade ring?”Zachary immediately said, “Yes. I already got it back! Last night, I personally put it in the safe in the room while I was still a bit sober!” Charlie nodded and said, “That’s great. You should go back and fres
However, he could only harbor those thoughts, and he did not dare to casually cause trouble before dealing with the Ackers. Thus, he could only turn around reluctantly and continue walking in the other direction. At this moment, he had no idea that Ruby had found a window-side seat on the second floor of a tea house along Antique Street and was observing him from afar.Just then, Zachary, who was yawning as he dragged his stall items with him, walked in from the entrance of Antique Street. Mr. Chardon saw him at a glance, rushed to him in delight, and questioned, “Zachary, where have you been? I've been waiting for you all morning and noon without even seeing a glimpse of your shadow at all!”Zachary yawned, lazily covering his mouth with his palm while making lazy sounds. After the yawn, he lazily stretched before saying, “Old man, I'm running a stall, not working a 9-to-5 job. I'll come whenever I want. Who can control me?”When Mr. Chardon saw Zachary’s seemingly provoking ap
