Very soon, it was already the third day. Mr. Chardon arrived early at Antique Street, eagerly awaiting good news from Zachary.At this moment, Mr. Chardon felt nervous and uneasy. According to the British Lord's requirements, he had to make a move against the Ackers before midnight, which would be before 11:00 p.m. tonight. Mr. Chardon also planned to go to Willow Manor precisely at 7:00 p.m. tonight. He would quietly find a safe place to hide in Willow Manor first and then wait for the perfect moment to strike. Once the timing was right, he would immediately attack and annihilate the Ackers.Therefore, his biggest wish today was to get more magic instruments from Zachary before 7:00 p.m. Despite knowing that Zachary might only set up his stall in the afternoon or even later, Mr. Chardon arrived and waited anxiously at Antique Street early in the morning.However, Zachary was late as usual and only arrived later in the afternoon.When Mr. Chardon saw Zachary, he could not contain
Zachary had a regretful expression on his face as well. “Sorry, sir, perhaps we can cooperate again in the future when we have the opportunity.”With that said, Zachary added, “By the way, sir, didn’t you say that you can wait until 7:00 p.m.? I'll try to negotiate with my superior again later. If I can manage to convince him, I'll find you at Holiday Inn, then!”Mr. Chardon had already lost hope, but upon hearing Zachary’s words, he nodded with relief and said, “I'll be at the Holiday Inn before 7:00 p.m.”Zachary nodded vigorously and said, “Okay, I'll go over as soon as I get any news!”The reason why Charlie got Zachary to use the arrival of a large batch of goods the day after tomorrow to tempt and test Mr. Chardon was to truly stimulate Mr. Chardon to the fullest so that he could see if the final deadline tonight was truly unchangeable.If Mr. Chardon still could not wait in the face of five to eight magic instruments, it would prove that this time was set in stone by the Br
As for the Regeneration Pills, they currently stood as the most formidable life-preserving pill in Charlie’s possession. Their healing prowess surpassed even that of the Rejuvenating Pills, presenting a dominance that could potentially safeguard his life in critical moments. Should his opponent truly be an extraordinary master, the Regeneration Pills had the potential to be a lifeline.Charlie believed that with these pills at his disposal, he held the confidence to contend with the great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society. Moreover, given the meticulousness of his preparations, it seemed highly improbable for him to encounter any dangers as calculated by Vera.In addition to these precautions, Charlie securely placed the ring given by Vera and the Phoenixica given by Madam Fumiko in the safe.Having completed all the necessary arrangements, Charlie received a text message from Isaac that Mr. Chardon had left Holiday Inn, hailed a taxi at the entrance, and was heading out of t
Charlie’s words left Albert utterly horrified. He anxiously inquired, “Master Wade, what do you mean by this? Will you be facing great danger today?”Charlie remained silent for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Great danger? He felt that he would probably not be in any real danger. The great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society possessed three crudely crafted magic instruments Charlie had made, and the great earl treated them as treasures. This indicated a lack of profound mastery in Reiki on the great earl’s part. Moreover, Charlie possessed two offensive-type magic instruments along with multiple pills, providing him with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Additionally, he was in hiding, whereas the opponent was out in the open. This meant that Charlie could gain the upper hand if a confrontation occurred. Therefore, Charlie believed that in any aspect, he had a better chance of success than the opponent. If it came to a fight, Charlie was confident he could overp
Charlie then took out his cell phone and called Merlin. Meanwhile, Merlin was having a meal with the Ackers several kilometers away at Willow Manor.The Ackers had been conducting investigations in Aurous Hill for the past few days but had not found any clues related to Charlie. Charlie’s uncle, Christian, was about to consider asking Merlin for suggestions at the dining table when Merlin’s cell phone rang. Merlin stood up hastily and said to the Ackers, “Please continue chatting first. I'll step outside to take a call.”He then walked to the courtyard and ensured that there were no onlookers before he answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Wade,” he said in a respectful tone.Charlie went straight to the point, “Chief Lammy, is my grandfather and his family at Willow Manor right now?”“Yes, they are.” Merlin curiously asked, “What's the matter, Mr. Wade? Is there something wrong?”Charlie affirmed with a serious tone, “Someone might pose a threat to my grandparents and the rest of his
At 9:00 p.m. at night at Willow Manor.The Ackers had just finished dinner and were asking Merlin to analyze the clues they had gathered over the past few days in the living room.Keith, the head of the Ackers, had been staying in the villa during this period of time and had had significant improvement in his health. Not only did his memory stop deteriorating, but he also gradually recovered the memories that he had forgotten. More importantly, after recovering, his overall logical thinking had improved greatly, restoring his commanding style and momentum from the past.During this family meeting, Christian briefed everyone on the progress of his collaboration with Moore Group first. Christian said, “Our collaboration with Moore Group has officially entered the negotiation process. Starting today, the legal teams of both sides are negotiating the details of the cooperation, mainly to finalize the specific terms. Due to the sincere approach of the Ackers, the negotiation atmosph
Lady Acker said, “Go ahead and speak up, Lulu.”Lulu said, “I investigated the situation at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute today. I wanted to see if there was any information related to Charlie among the orphans they rescued over the years. Currently, the institute's records show no clues related to Charlie, but what's strange is that Aurous Hill Welfare Institute underwent a major personnel change last year. From the institute's director to the staff below and even the chef who cooked for the orphans, all of them underwent a complete turnover. None of the old employees were retained at all. I find this matter quite unusual. It's not uncommon for personnel changes in welfare organizations, but a complete and sudden change seems a bit strange. What do you think?”Keith frowned and said, “There must be ten to twenty people in the management and execution side of a welfare home. Even if the management changes, the operational staff below them shouldn't be replaced entirely, right? After
“That’s simple!” Lulu said excitedly, “We can check the social security files of the previous team! The welfare institute is a social welfare organization funded by both the government and private donations. As a unit that requires public supervision, their personnel records must be very complete, especially if they are really on a major mission, as Merlin suggested. They would need to appear compliant and flawless, otherwise, if someone notices abnormalities in their personnel records, it could immediately raise suspicions!”Merlin praised, “Lulu’s thinking is very clear. We will probably be able to get some clues by finding a way to check the previous personnel records of the staff at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute!”Kaeden exclaimed, “I'll get someone to check it right away!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.Keith had retired for many years, and over time, his connections had diminished. There were not many connections that he could use a
