Mr. Chardon initially thought that Charlie was showing him the middle finger to provoke him, but his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the ring.Although he had never seen this ring with his own eyes before, the British Lord had described it in great detail. According to the British Lord, the ring was entirely bronze in color with a delicate luster and no decorative patterns on it. The ring was approximately 0.66 centimeters wide, and the size of the ring was suitable for an average adult male finger. All these details matched the ring on Charlie’s finger perfectly. In addition, Merlin had taken the initiative to mention Vera and the ring, so Mr. Chardon concluded that this ring was the treasure that the British Lord had been longing for. The British Lord once mentioned that there was a great mystery hidden within the ring, and unlocking this mystery would not only enhance one’s cultivation but would also grant the person immortality as well. However, the British Lord migh
As he spoke, he sneered, “But it’s pointless for you to tell me this. All I want is the ring in your hand! I can give you a quick and painless death if you hand over the ring!” Charlie ignored him, chuckled, and said, “I've lived under the care of others in Aurous Hill for twenty years. Even if life was tough and exhausting, I’ve never gone to the Wades or the Ackers. Do you know why?” Mr. Chardon frowned and asked, “Why?”Charlie calmly replied, “It’s naturally because I hate them! Even now, I can't bring myself to forgive them for their betrayal and abandonment of my parents back then.”Mr. Chardon questioned, “Why did you save them time and time again if you hate them?” Charlie said with a smile, “Saving them was just a coincidence. You should know that it was Quinn Golding’s concert at the time in New York. The Ackers went to that concert, and that was how you had the opportunity to attack them.” Mr. Chardon squinted his eyes as he looked at Charlie. Although he was not
Meanwhile, Ruby, who was secretly observing Willow Manor from the mountain opposite, saw a black figure rushing out of the villa, followed closely by Mr. Chardon, the leader of the four great earls. Unexpectedly, the leading black figure was sprinting in her direction, whereas Mr. Chardon was holding a wooden sword in one hand and the hem of his robe in the other as he pursued the black figure. She could even hear Mr. Chardon’s angry roar, “Young lad, hand over that ring now if you know any better! Besides, you should tell me where Vera Lavor is hiding as well! If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life! Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you lose your head as soon as I catch up to you!”Charlie yelled without even turning around, “Lackey, stop spouting nonsense. You’re already so old but you still don’t know of your own ability and limitations? You dare to continue boasting here? If you want the ring, you will have to catch up to me first, lackey!” Ruby was instantly stunned. ‘Ri
The first thing Charlie did was to ask Isaac to help him retrieve the public surveillance footage from Willow Manor. Meanwhile, he sat in the helicopter, monitoring the situation at Willow Manor in real time.Flying from Champs Elys Resort to Willow Manor would only take two to three minutes. During this brief time, the security guards and caretakers could delay a portion of the threat. He would entrust the rest to Merlin along with the ‘life-saving mantra’ he had given Merlin.He believed that as long as Merlin uttered the life-saving mantra, it would undoubtedly buy some time, allowing him to arrive in time.Yet, Charlie was well aware that even if he arrived, he could not engage in a deadly confrontation with the adversary inside the villa. Acting within the villa would mean certain death for the Acker family members and Merlin. Therefore, he had to use the ring to divert the other party’s full attention, providing an opportunity for the Ackers and Merlin to evacuate.Albert’s t
Ruby saw Mr. Chardon entering the villa that was in a deserted place. She initially thought that Mr. Chardon would be able to annihilate the Ackers easily tonight and make a significant achievement in the Qing Eliminating Society. She believed that she would only need to observe from the shadows and report everything accurately to the British Lord later. However, she never expected that just when Mr. Chardon entered the villa, a helicopter swiftly approached from the other end of the mountain, directly flying over the villa in the center of Willow Manor. Before she could comprehend who would arrive by helicopter at this moment, a black figure had jumped directly from the roaring helicopter. The helicopter was still in a fast descent, and with the considerable height of dozens of meters above the ground, she did not expect that the person would be able to land steadily on the ground.The helicopter ascended with all its strength the moment the man landed. The black shadow did not
In other words, the real-time positions of the two of them were updated twice per second on the monitoring terminal where the British Lord was located. Moreover, their positioning system utilized the most professional high-precision maps available today with an accuracy level measured in centimeters and the actual error did not exceed ten centimeters.When the British Lord saw Mr. Chardon’s red dot entering the gate of the villa, it was clear to him that Mr. Chardon had already entered. At that moment, the British Lord also believed that in just a few minutes, the Ackers would become Mr. Chardon’s victims.However, just as the British Lord was waiting for Mr. Chardon to report news of his victory, the two blinking coordinates suddenly went completely dark! This sudden turn of events surprised the British Lord, and there was a sudden thud in his heart.The extinguishing of these coordinates signaled that the information transmission between him and the other party had been interrupte
At this moment, Charlie dashed through the mountains, leading Mr. Chardon in a swift pursuit toward the mountain. Both of them moved at an incredible speed, effortlessly navigating through the hilly terrain with dense trees as if they were walking on flat ground, and it seemed as if they were flying. Mr. Chardon had exerted all his strength to stay close to Charlie. While running, he had to keep his eyes wide open, concentrating intensely to avoid the surrounding trees and rocky terrain. After covering a distance of one or two kilometers, he looked extremely disheveled.However, even with his full effort, Charlie maintained a stable and safe distance, which caused Mr. Chardon to feel extremely frustrated. He could only continue chasing Charlie as he was unable to seize an opportunity to launch an attack. Regardless of whether he was to use the wooden sword provided by the British Lord or the Thunderstrike wood that he had purchased from Zachary to launch an attack, he needed to fo
In an instant, an invisible rotating blade shot out from the wooden sword. Charlie could clearly sense the tremendous energy contained in that blade, resembling the sudden release of propellers from a high-speed helicopter!Charlie was well aware of his insufficient combat skills and lack of experience, so he did not dare to slack off. When he saw the rotating blade demolishing everything in its path, cutting off countless branches and leaves, he seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, “Do you think you’re the only one who can cut?!”With that said, a Soul Blade swiftly shot out, and the invisible giant Soul Blade headed toward the rotating blade at an extremely fast speed! In the blink of an eye, the two forces collided, producing a loud explosion in the air between them. The trees that were once lush and vibrant, within a radius of several dozen meters, suddenly shed all their leaves like pouring rain!The immense impact even caused Charlie and Mr. Chardon to retreat several st
