Moreover, Mr. Chardon knew that the only magical technique he could cast remotely was the blade from the British Lord’s wooden sword. In contrast, Charlie’s techniques included an invisible blade similar to his and heavenly thunder descending directly from the sky. Mr. Chardon’s wooden sword could not harm Charlie, and he had nowhere to hide from the heavenly thunder. Therefore, if this continued, he would undoubtedly be worn down by Charlie. The only solution was for him to engage in close combat with him!With this in mind, Mr. Chardon clenched his teeth and yelled coldly, “Young lad, either you die, or I perish today!” After saying this, he infused Reiki into his legs and unleashed the technique of teleportation that the British Lord had taught him as he rushed toward Charlie at an eerie speed, which resembled a space jump. The greatest advantage of this technique was its elusive trajectory, making it difficult for the opponent to harm him and simultaneously shortening the di

Only two very close explosions were heard, and those two sword edges were unexpectedly smashed into dust by Charlie’s fists! Mr. Chardon, who only had a pair of red underwear covering his entire body, had just run about ten feet away. Initially, he had been using his sword to frantically escape without looking back in order to save his life. However, after hearing two explosions, a sudden burst of excitement flashed in his heart!These two explosions were noticeably different from the earlier ones when the sword edges had collided with the soul-piercing blades. These two explosions sounded more like the result of the sword hitting the target's body!“Could it be… Could it be that Charlie didn't manage to evade my sneak attack?!” Mr. Chardon suddenly felt overjoyed at this thought. He instinctively turned around, wanting to see if Charlie had been injured by his two swords. If so, he could capitalize on the advantage and perhaps take Charlie's head! However, at that moment, to h

At this moment, Ruby, who was hidden in the shadows, was completely stunned! She didn't expect that the formidable man in black before her was actually Curtis’s son from back then!Meanwhile, Charlie was unaware that there was still a concealed cultivator with a hidden presence ten feet away in the shadows. His attention was solely on Mr. Chardon, who was in front of him. Despite witnessing Mr. Chardon’s pathetic and fearful appearance, Charlie felt no sympathy for him.He looked at Mr. Chardon and shouted again, “Thunder, come!”A thunderous explosion echoed as another lightning bolt descended from the sky! This time, the thunder struck Mr. Chardon’s right hand directly, turning it into black charcoal!In the previous few lightning strikes, Charlie had deliberately controlled the power in order to toy with Mr. Chardon. However, this time, Charlie intentionally increased the power, directly disabling Mr. Chardon’s right hand.Mr. Chardon felt an intense burning pain in his hand. W

However, human greed never followed such rules. In reality, the younger someone was, the less they feared death. Many young people who were around fifteen or sixteen dared to face death in confrontation with others. On the contrary, as people grew older, they often became more afraid of death. Even someone like Mr. Chardon, who was a cultivator, was not exempt from this commonality. In fact, he was more afraid of death than most people.When Mr. Chardon saw that Charlie was not showing him any mercy at all, he cried and said, “Charlie, back then, I was also acting under orders. The British Lord gave me an order I couldn't refuse! If you want to avenge your parents, you should go after the British Lord and not a lowly pawn such as myself…”Charlie sarcastically remarked, “Oh? You’re selling your boss out for your own gain now? Well, if you honestly reveal everything about the Qing Eliminating Society, I might give you a quick death so that you won’t suffer such a horrible death!”M

The pineal gland was considered the dwelling place of the Nine True Paths in cultivation. Some say it corresponded to the pineal gland in human anatomy, capable of secreting various hormones with subtle and mystical effects on the body. However, with age, its functions gradually deteriorate and would become almost ornamental.For cultivators, activating the pineal gland signified unlocking a whole new world. Activating the pineal gland involved using Reiki to unlock the pineal gland located at the center of the brain.The pineal gland was also known as the upper elixir field. Generally speaking, it was easy to activate the lower elixir field, and it was not difficult to open up all eight meridians. However, only extremely skilled cultivators could activate their upper elixir field. For cultivators, this spot was the supreme realm of the Nine True Paths, where human consciousness originated. If one could activate the pineal gland and cultivate in the right manner, one would not only

However, thirty years had passed, and none of the four great earls had actually activated the formation inside their pineal glands. This was mainly because over the past thirty years, they hadn't encountered any life-threatening super crises at all. Although Mr. Jothurn did face a life-or-death crisis in Cyprus, that situation was unique. The three close-defense missiles that attacked him were too fast and too powerful, and the method of attack was too brutal. It was just a blink of an eye from the moment he sensed danger to his death. He didn't even have time to think about the pineal gland that the British Lord had opened for them thirty years ago.Moreover, it would be futile even if he remembered it because he didn't have enough time to open the formation inside the pineal gland.Mr. Chardon had the perfect opportunity now. With this thought, Mr. Chardon looked at Charlie, chuckled bitterly, and secretly activated the technique to activate his pineal gland, then sneered at Char

Ruby, who was hidden in the shadows, did not notice anything unusual. When she heard Mr. Chardon’s words just now, she knew that he had already activated his pineal gland, and she instantly heaved a sigh of relief.Although she did not get along with Mr. Chardon, the death of Mr. Jothurn gave her a feeling as if they were interconnected. Now that Mr. Chardon had activated his pineal gland, he could be considered to have escaped from the clutches of death!At this moment, Mr. Chardon’s expression became even more ferocious at an extremely fast pace! It only took a second or two for his pineal gland to be activated, and he felt a blazing and incomparable raging fire ignite in his brain. This fire, like a supernova explosion, rapidly expanded and strengthened! The pressure on his pineal gland was also increasing!It felt as if a huge mountain had been forcibly stuffed into his brain! The excruciating torment was comparable to the eighteen layers of hell!Charlie also realized the enor

The intense and thunderous explosion instantly reverberated throughout Aurous Hill, even waking up the entire city from its nocturnal slumber. The valley where the explosion occurred had its dense vegetation obliterated, forming a circular blank space with a radius of several hundred meters.Mr. Chardon had completely vanished without a trace, his entire being vaporized, leaving no residues behind.The notion of ‘a soul surviving despite the death of the physical body’ was nothing but a deception. It was an empty promise given to them, luring them to sacrifice themselves generously.Mr. Chardon only realized at the moment of his death that the formation the British Lord had left inside their pineal gland thirty years ago was not something capable of preserving a strand of their souls. Instead, it was a tremendously powerful self-destructive formation. In a critical life-or-death situation, what they believed to be a hope for being reborn had turned out to be a means to perish with t

"What?!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly, suddenly on his feet. "That prick is really going to start a business in Aurous Hill? What, did he get sick of living the good life elsewhere?"In Jacob's mind, there were only two reasons why Raymond had returned to Aurous Hill.The first was that he had gotten so rich that he had come back to open a shop on Antique Street, to salvage some dignity after he had been fired from Vintage Deluxe. The other was the complete opposite—he had screwed up elsewhere too and had no choice but to return to Aurous Hill to make a living.If it was the former, he certainly wouldn't have hope for his revenge.But that was not the case if it was the latter!Meanwhile, Zachary replied, "Truth be told, I haven't seen the man in the flesh. But judging from my tip, he definitely wasn't doing well elsewhere, since the business he's planning now that he's back is quite modest."Jacob immediately laughed. "Hahaha! I see… He must have messed up out there and had no ch

Claire pursed her lips, grumbling, "Like you said, I won't tell Mom for the sake of peace. But you know very well that you shouldn't do that ever again!"Jacob nodded repeatedly as he promised. "Don't worry—I'll never do it again."As he finished, his phone rang on the table, and he looked down to see that it was Zacahary."That's weird," he murmured in surprise. "He's been hiding from me for the longest time, but he's calling me now?"Charlie was surprised too.After Zachary left Antique Street and started helping Don Albert's more unsavory business, he shouldn't have any reason to contact Jacob.So, why call him now?Jacob was confused too, but he ultimately answered the call.On the other end of the call, Zachary greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Wilson? It's me—Zachary. Do you still remember me?""Nonsense," Jacob snorted. "Why wouldn't I remember you after we've spoken so many times? I also couldn't reach out to you when I had all that good stuff before, but you're contactin

Meanwhile, at Thomson's First, the family of four was peacefully having dinner for the first time.While Charlie and Claire never argued, Jacob and Elaine were always either bickering or dissing each other, leaving the air around the table tense and awkward.But this time, neither of them argued, and they didn't seem to despise each other.The table was not just peaceful either—Elaine was a lot less bossy, even helping put food on Jacob's plate, having him try this and that, almost as if she was suddenly the best of wives.Jacob used to regard Elaine with disdain in every way, constantly lamenting how a great man like him didn't have a good wife.But with him being the way he was now, he utterly resigned to himself.It made sense that Matilda wouldn't be interested in him given his current state, and it was amazing that Elaine willingly stayed with him. That was why he no longer regarded Elaine with unconcealed disgust and disdain like before and was instead gentle and emotiona

Mick was left gritting his teeth. "Shit, that's true. It's going to be hard to pull the wool over Raymond's eyes—it has to be the best to actually trick him."Then, he sighed. "If there's someone who can do that, it'd be Zachary Evans! The man was a God back in the day!"The employee nodded. "Well, it's true that his replicas were impeccable… But the man has made it big time working for Don Albert, and we won't be able to ask for his help!"Mick shook his head. "No, it's fine. We're quite close—let me call him right now."With that, he whipped out his phone to make the call.While Zachary used to be humble in Mick's presence before, Zachary was now way above him on the pecking order.Afraid of being remotely disrespectful, he promptly greeted Zachary politely as soon as the latter answered, "Hello, Zachary! It's me, Mick Crane!" "Uh-huh," Zachary replied noncommittally before asking in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure?"Ever since Zachary had started working for Don A

Raymond may have worked abroad for years and was a veteran in antiques, but he was still lacking when it came to reading between the lines.Taking Mick's words at face value, he promptly shook his head, "No, you really shouldn't. I wasn't planning to come back here to work, so you mustn't mention me to Ms. Moore either."And unlike Mick, he really meant what he said, while Mick was saying the complete opposite of what he was thinking.Naturally, Mick didn't believe Raymond, even presuming that Raymond was a liar like himself.The more Raymond said he didn't want to return to Vintage Deluxe, the more he thought he was.Hence, he asked despite knowing the answer, "Well, what are you planning to do now that you've returned to Aurous Hill?""It's been years of traveling for me, so I was just getting a little tired," Raymond admitted. "I'm planning to set up a small business in Aurous Hill, most likely here in Antique Street. That's why I'm visiting—do be neighborly when I set up shop

Meanwhile, Raymond had no idea that he was being targeted as soon as he returned to Antique Street.He had reached the middle where rows of three-floored buildings stood, the largest on the street, and where Vintage Deluxe was. It was not closed yet as tradition on Antique Street was for stalls to open in the morning and close in the afternoon. In comparison, shops opened later and closed later.With the difference of two to three hours, they could afford to have customers who had lower purchasing power or were just window shopping to stroll through the outdoor stalls. Then, when they were gone, customers with actual purchasing power would come on their own time.As Raymond arrived outside Vintage Deluxe, Mick just finished his meeting with his employees, summing up, "So, does anyone have anything to do tonight?"They all shook their heads, answering as one, "No!!!"Mick nodded. "If there's nothing else, stay back for overtime. Ask for some spicy crayfish and beer for dinner."

However, Raymond had accomplished the assignment Curtis had given him years ago, so he had no intention of staying at Aurous Hill and remained unrepentant despite Jasmine's pressure. That was why he could ask to resign without hesitation, even urging her to let him go despite the pain.That was why Mick was now worried that Raymond would return to reclaim his position as manager."Keep an eye on him for me," he told Trippy. "Tell me if anything comes up right away—I will make it worth your while.""Alright!" Trippy agreed to it. "Don't worry—I'll call right away if anything comes up."Once Trippy hung up, Mick gathered the handful of Vintage Deluxe employees.They were all his close allies he had groomed after he took over Vintage Deluxe. Even if Mick hadn't been succeeding in his business, he was succeeding in building his own forces. Anyone who didn't obey his orders had since been removed, and the remaining ones were basically his co-conspirators, embezzling a considerable am

As it turned out, the bean counters of the Moore Group had been suggesting that Jasmine axe Deluxe Vintage and other antique-related businesses.After all, Aurous Hill was hardly the heart of the nation's antique business—not even a hub, and Vintage Deluxe wouldn't grow on such soil.Moreover, their revenue wasn't optimistic.While the business wasn't exactly falling off after Mick took charge, the lack of experience amongst the management team meant they were struggling to break even.And for the bean counters, keeping Vintage Deluxe meant no profits—even net losses in the immediate future. Right now, they might still be able to package it nicely and sell it off, and selling a fixed asset coupled with brand value would more or less turn a profit. But once Vintage Deluxe started incurring losses and the brand value diminished in turn, it would be reduced to zero completely.In other words, the value of Vintage Deluxe was on a springboard—sell it anytime now, and the value would be

The Mr. Crane from the other end of the call was Mick Crane—the current manager of Vintage Deluxe, and a man whom all of Antique Street fawned over.Mick was the assistant manager to Raymond back then, and his skill in the antique trade was at best moderate. However, thanks to his friendly personality, he had managed to secure himself many decent connections down Antique Street.As such, once Jasmine had fired Raymond, Mick had taken over his position as caretaker manager. She was also aware that Mick didn't have the skills to do well as a manager, and her plan had always been to keep him as a caretaker before she found someone better.As her ties with Charlie had strengthened and he had started helping her, her position in her family had skyrocketed. However, that also meant she couldn't watch over most of Vintage Deluxe's operations.Now that she was the head of the Moore family and the leader of a dynasty worth billions, a small business like Vintage Deluxe was even less signifi
