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

Charlie subconsciously asked Vera, “Did you paint this painting?”Vera nodded and said, “I painted this a few days ago. I painted it especially for you, Young Master.”Charlie could not help but feel amazed. He never expected Vera to have such extraordinary painting skills. Just a while ago, his father-in-law had mentioned an art exhibition organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he was struggling to find good works. If Charlie brought this painting there, it might cause a sensation among landscape painters nationwide!Vera suddenly grabbed Charlie’s right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with his. She then said with an expectant expression, “Young Master, dare I suggest taking you to witness its appearance three hundred years ago with your own eyes?”With that said, the ring, which had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Vera’s words and released a bit of Reiki directly toward both of their minds.In the next moment,

When Vera’s figure disappeared on a mountaintop, Charlie’s awareness instantly returned from the deep mountains of southern Yorkshire Hill to reality.The moment he opened his eyes, he fully believed Vera’s words. He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until now. At this moment, he finally realized why he had always felt that Vera was extraordinary but could never quite grasp what the issue was.At seventeen or eighteen, she was proficient in the near-divine art of divination that even someone like Chandler couldn't master at a hundred years old.At seventeen or eighteen, she was relentlessly pursued by the Qing Eliminating Society. If the Qing Eliminating Society had been hunting her down for five years, wouldn't she have been engaging in a battle of wits with them since she was twelve years old?Similarly, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she mysteriously appeared in Aurous Hill shortly after parting ways with him in Northern Europe, appearing befor

Vera chuckled, folded her hands gracefully at one side of her waist, and bowed slightly to Charlie. She said respectfully, “Young Master, you don’t need to address me so respectfully. You can just call me Vera.” Charlie said earnestly, “No, you're almost four hundred years old, so I should address you as my elder…”Vera smiled and said seriously, “In my point of view, I'm just a girl who hasn’t grown up, not an immortal old witch. Although I have indeed lived for nearly four hundred years, I still feel as if I’m just seventeen years old…”“Well…” Charlie found himself in an awkward situation, with two conflicting voices arguing in his mind.One voice said, “She's right. Even though she's lived for almost four hundred years, she has always been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.”The other voice argued, “But she's almost four hundred years old! What does four hundred years mean?! You haven't even reached thirty years old this year!”Charlie was afraid of being tangled up in t

“I hastily settled my father down temporarily, and he gave me an unknown pill, instructing me to take it obediently without asking any questions.” “I didn't know the effects of this pill, but I couldn't defy my father's orders. So, I took the pill. After taking it, my father told me what pill it was and its effects.”As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she said in a soft voice, “As for why my father didn't take it himself but gave me the Eternal Pill, it was because he said he didn't want to witness the day when he, as a father, had to watch me grow old and slowly die before him. My father also said that if there was a pill that allowed a father to live on, watching his daughter gradually age and die, that pill is not an elixir but a poison.”“My father said he had to die before me to be at peace, and since I was still young, unmarried, and had no worries, after taking the Eternal Pill, I could live well for five hundred years.”Charlie suddenly thought of something and blurted o

When he heard the name ‘Fleur Wiley’, Charlie widened his eyes in shock and asked, “The leader of the Qing Eliminating Society is a woman?”Vera nodded, clenched her teeth, and said, “She’s not only a woman, but she’s the most ruthless woman in the world!”Charlie asked in surprise, “If she’s your father’s sworn brother’s sister, doesn’t that mean that she has also lived for three to four hundred years as well?”Vera pondered for a moment and said, “Fleur is one year younger than my father, and she’s twenty-three years older than me. She is already four hundred years old now.”Charlie said, “She should have taken the Eternal Pill as well, right?”“Of course,” Vera said emotionally, “The Eternal Pill was given to my father and Fleur by their master. He originally left one pill to each of them, hoping they could continue the cause of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. In addition to one Eternal Pill each, their master also entrusted the ring on your hand to my father for safekeeping. Wh

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
