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
“In the following two years, my father and Fleur recruited some determined patriots who aimed to restore our country. They continuously engaged in battles with the Qing army, but due to their limited strength, they couldn't alter the Qing army's gradual unification.”“In the year 1662, the notorious traitor, Sanguine, killed the king in Yorkshire Hill. My father was filled with sorrow and was extremely aggrieved. He joined forces with Fleur and led the righteous men from the Qing Eliminating Society to assassinate Sanguine. Unfortunately, their mission failed.”“My father and Fleur were pursued by tens of thousands of troops from the Qing army, and with the inland regions already under the Qing army’s control, they decided to flee to Taiwan to seek refuge there in order to continue resisting the Qing army. Unexpectedly, shortly after their departure, news arrived that the Taiwan leader had suddenly passed away. With no other options, they returned to Mount Tason, seeking their master
Vera was startled by the name blurted out by Charlie. Charlie was the one who had been constantly surprised tonight, while she remained calm from the beginning to the end even though she was a little sad when she spoke of her late father. However, when Charlie mentioned the three words ‘Marcius Stark’, Vera was suddenly extremely shocked!She instinctively exclaimed, “How did you know of the master’s real name?! It has been more than three hundred years since he passed away, and he had been cultivating in seclusion on Mount Tason during the thousand years when he was alive. Very few people knew about him even when he was alive…” Charlie couldn't help but sigh and say, “Marcius Stark, whose name was originally Martin, was born in Coleham. After cultivating, he was called the Longevity Master and renamed himself Marcius Stark.”Vera was even more shocked, “Young Master, how did you know so much about my father’s master? My father once said that his master focused almost entirely on
Charlie laughed in a self-deprecating manner and nodded as he said, “So, living for a thousand years doesn't even count as anything before God. It's not worth him sending down thunderbolts at all.”Vera nodded slightly, “It seems that way.”After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, “However, you and Master Marcius Stark did have some connections by chance. Although Master Marcius Stark had already passed away for more than three hundred years when you were born, you still had some contact with him during his first five hundred years and the later five hundred years of his life…”At this point, Vera suddenly asked with curiosity, “May I ask, how did you start cultivating, Young Master? Who was the venerable elder who guided and led you into cultivation?”When Charlie saw that Vera already disclosed all her past and secrets, he no longer concealed anything and said, “I happened to obtain an ancient book called the Apocalyptic Book which recorded a lot of information related to c
Although Charlie secretly coveted Vera’s Thunderstrike wood, he felt hesitant to ask for it outright. After all, Vera had cherished this item for over three hundred years, and it held a significance that was undoubtedly extraordinary for her. However, Charlie knew that there was no need for him to be overly anxious. In the current situation, even if Vera gave him the Thunderstrike wood, he wouldn't have the ability to refine it at all.So, Charlie looked at Vera and asked a question that piqued his curiosity, “Miss Lavor, I'm very curious to know how you've spent these three hundred years?”Vera shrugged and laughed in a self-deprecating manner, “I’m not proficient in Reiki like Fleur, so I couldn't compete with her. Over these three hundred years, I've been constantly on the run.”After saying that, Vera continued, “The first two hundred years were relatively fine. At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and communication was not well-developed, so it wasn't so easy for Fl
Initially, he thought that Vera might have been living in remote places to avoid being hunted after being on the run for so many years. However, he never expected that she had always been at the forefront of the world. Surprisingly, even during her fugitive journey, she thought about contributing to Oskia, aligning well with Elijah’s ideals. She was truly just like her father.Vera continued her story and said, “When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I established contact with the Oskia Revival Association through some previous connections. However, just as I was preparing to meet with them, I fell into an ambush by assassins from the Qing Eliminating Society. I only managed to narrowly escape at the time.”Charlie asked, “Was there a leak of information at that time?”Vera nodded and expressed her sentiments, “Yes. I didn't know at that time that Fleur’s people had already infiltrated the Oskia Revival Association.”After saying that, Vera added, “After surviving that life-threateni
Charlie listened in amazement and couldn't help but ask her, “Back in Northern Europe, you had an old man accompanying you. You referred to him as ‘grandfather’ in front of me, but was he actually another orphan you raised?”Vera smiled faintly and said, “The old man you mentioned is called Mr. Raven, and he is the last abandoned infant I adopted in Eastcliff after the July 7th incident just before heading to the United States.”After pausing for a moment, Vera continued, “In fact, the majority of such children would establish businesses themselves with my assistance after reaching their twenties. Some assets might be entrusted to them for management purposes, but it's essentially a gift from me. In these more than two hundred years, I have given away countless fortunes.”“Only a very small portion, such as Mr. Raven, who has deep affection, will willingly stay by my side. I will keep them by my side as well. After all, being just a woman and lacking self-defense skills, when I’m on
Over the past three hundred years, she had contemplated ending her own life countless times. However, the thought of her father sacrificing his life in exchange for her immortality always dispelled her thoughts of suicide. After all, she knew in her heart that her father's greatest wish before his death was for her to keep living. He hoped his beloved daughter would live a long life, not just for a hundred years, but preferably five hundred years. Meanwhile, his own life had ended at the age of forty-one.It was because of this that Vera, who was on the verge of collapse numerous times, clenched her teeth and persevered. Nevertheless, her heart had long been tormented and ravaged by immortality.Charlie truly felt pity for the young girl in front of him even though she was nearly four hundred years old.At this moment, Vera sighed deeply, and her eyes turned red as she sobbed and said, “Thank you for your compassion, Young Master…” After saying that, Vera continued, “I have inve
