Merlin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard Albert say that the shell fragments in his hand belonged to Charlie. He muttered to himself, “Charlie’s belongings? Doesn't that mean he has met with a mishap?”With that said, he quickly lowered his head to carefully examine the traces left by the explosion. By observing the direction of the explosion shockwave, he then found more fragments of the Tridacna on the ground.His face turned pale, and he muttered, “Charlie’s belongings are so close to the center of the explosion. Doesn't that mean he was right in the line of fire when the explosion happened?!”Upon hearing this, Albert’s eyes welled up with tears, and he burst into tears. He was in disbelief as he said to Merlin, “Chief Lammy, Master Wade is incredibly powerful. This kind of explosion shouldn't harm him at all, right?”Merlin squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of hardened black soil, rubbed it forcefully, and then sniffed it. He had a worried expression as h
Isaac did not say anything but instead held his cell phone screen in front of her.When Rosalie saw the words on the phone screen, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. The words on the screen read: ‘Young Master is in trouble. Please keep it quiet and help gather the Harkers to search for clues together!’Rosalie did not speak but nodded heavily. Soon, more than ten Harker family members hurriedly gathered, boarded a helicopter, and flew back to the scene of the incident.When Rosalie saw the horrifying scene at the scene, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart, and her tears were uncontrollable. However, she wiped away her tears and searched for clues on the periphery of the circular explosion area together with the Harker family members. The dozen or so people kept expanding their search range, even covering a radius of one kilometer from the explosion center, but they still found no traces related to Charlie at all.Not a single one of them uttered a single word from t
From the moment he lost consciousness, Charlie had no idea how long he had been drifting in the void until finally, a faint light suddenly appeared before his eyes.At this moment, along with the faint light came intense pain and an extreme sense of weakness. This sense of weakness was so overwhelming that he could not even muster the strength to open his eyes.Soon, he felt that his body seemed to be enveloped in a warm sensation, and this warmth seemed to provide some relief to the intense pain all over him. He then discovered that the warm feeling was lifting him upward.Afterward, he heard a familiar voice exclaiming in his ear, “Charlie!” This call allowed Charlie’s vision to gradually return.When the weakened Charlie opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he was utterly stunned because he suddenly discovered that the beautiful girl soaking in the hot spring pool, revealing only part of her beautiful shoulders, was none other than the mysterious Vera!Charlie wa
Charlie felt that his brain was completely exhausted, and he couldn't make sense of the logic at all. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Vera had used the name ‘Veron’ during her visit to Aurous Hill, but after meeting him, she referred to herself as ‘Vera’.Although there was only a slight difference between the names ‘Vera’ and ‘Veron’, the meaning was extraordinary for Charlie.He almost instantly felt a chill down his spine and weakly asked in shock, “No… Do… Do you remember me?”Vera nodded and struggled to hold the weak Charlie as she moved toward her bedroom. She said softly, “Charlie, you saved my life in Northern Europe. I’ll never forget that!” Charlie was extremely shocked. He muttered, “Why… Why can you still remember? Could it be… Could it be that you’re a cultivator as well?”Vera smiled shyly and said, “Charlie, I’m not a cultivator, but my body is a little special, so you can’t erase my memories…”After saying this, she felt the physical contact between
Vera nodded and said, “I know a bit of everything, but just the basics.”Charlie could not help but sigh and say, “I brought many pills with me before I set off, but I’m left with nothing now…”After saying that, he remembered something and quickly asked Vera, “By the way, what is the date and time now?”Charlie did not know how long it had taken for him to suddenly appear here. If it only took him a short while, he still had time to rush home to destroy the letter that he had left behind for Claire. If a long time had passed, Claire might have already found out about his secret, then.When Vera saw that Charlie was extremely anxious, she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs just a few seconds before you appeared in the hot spring pool. It has only been a little more than half an hour since then.”Charlie finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Vera remembered something from his previous murmurings and suddenly said wit
Upon hearing Vera’s explanation, Charlie subconsciously frowned and asked, “How is that possible? You must be lying to me.”“Why would I lie to you?” Vera said with certainty, “It’s absolutely true! I can swear on my life!” Charlie shook his head and spoke very seriously and earnestly, “I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I believe that this ring can indeed send people to others, but when the explosion happened just now, I wasn't thinking of you… I was thinking about my deceased parents…” With that said, Charlie continued murmuring, “It seems that an image of my wife flashed in my mind at the very end. If what you said is true, the ring should have sent me to my wife instead…”Vera pursed her lips and said with a hint of sadness, “Charlie, I’m not lying to you. I naturally know that you will not think of me in a moment of life and death. It’s just that my father was the one who left this ring to me. He wanted to see me the most before he died, so the ring sent him to me.”
Vera giggled and said, “Coincidentally, I still have the very last piece of Pu’er tea left. I've been reluctant to drink it, and I have been waiting for the day when I can personally brew it for you to taste it. Charlie, please wait a moment!”Charlie hurriedly said, “Miss Lavor, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just pour me a glass of water.”Vera stood up and did not look back as she said, “The Pu’er tea that I saved is the best Pu'er tea in the world. Charlie, you will definitely regret it in the future if you don’t taste it.”After saying that, Vera added, “Moreover, I will start explaining everything that you’re curious about, starting from that piece of Pu’er tea.” Vera then quickly fetched her complete tea set and the piece of Pu'er tea she had always treasured without waiting for Charlie’s response.After returning to the bedside, Vera carefully lit the olive charcoal in the copper stove. While waiting for the water to boil, she opened the well-aged Pu'er tea with a
“What… What did you say?!” Vera’s casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Pu’er Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?! Charlie couldn't believe Vera’s statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process. People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older. As one’s cultivation deepened, one’s lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should
