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
When Vera heard Charlie’s words, she exclaimed, “A woman? Young Master, do you remember what that woman looked like?”Charlie furrowed his brows, recalling the brief glance he had, and said, “I feel that the woman appeared to be in her thirties, and she has a pretty decent appearance.”Vera nodded gently and said, “That should be Miss Dijo, one of the four great earls of the Qing Eliminating Society!”Charlie asked in surprise, “You know about the four great earls?” “I know a little.” Vera replied, “Although only Fleur has survived to this day in the Qing Eliminating Society, there are still descendants of my father's former subordinates within the organization. Due to the special poison concocted by Fleur, they are bound to serve her through generations. However, they are aware that I am still alive and have been trying to inform me in every possible way. Therefore, I still have some understanding of the internal situation of the Qing Eliminating Society.”“Although the four gre
Rosalie was already on the verge of an emotional breakdown. She suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears, immediately drawing the attention of others.People quickly stepped forward to comfort Rosalie. Although Albert was also deeply troubled, he still took the lead and spoke up, “Miss Rosalie, don't worry too much for now. Perhaps Master Wade has God’s blessing over him!”“That’s right, Miss Rosalie,” Isaac, though red and teary-eyed, tried to reassure her, “As long as there's no concrete evidence that Young Master is in danger, there's still hope for everything.”Rosalie knew they were all just trying to comfort her. In reality, everyone was deeply worried and sorrowful because they couldn't find Charlie. It was just that she was the first to lose control of her emotions.Just then, Merlin walked up with a confident look on his face and said to everyone, “Don't be too pessimistic for now. From what I see, the chances of Mr. Wade surviving are very high!”The crowd suddenl
Albert was momentarily bewildered when he heard Charlie’s voice. His mind couldn't snap back to reality immediately. He just stared blankly at the sky, muttering, “Oh, my… Am I dreaming? Is God really this miraculous?”Charlie, who was on the other end of the phone, asked, “Albert, what are you muttering to yourself?” Only then did Albert snap out of it, asking in astonishment, “Master… Master Wade?! Is it really you, or am I hallucinating?!”As soon as Albert spoke, everyone around him had countless questions in their minds. They questioned him, demanding to know if the call was really from Charlie. Charlie asked Albert again, “You can't recognize my voice anymore?”It was then that Albert confirmed that the person who was talking to him on the other end of the line was actually Charlie. Albert instantly burst into tears of joy, asking, “Master Wade, where are you?! We've been searching the valley for nearly an hour and still haven't found you. We were getting so worried…”C
As she spoke, Vera blushed slightly and said, “Besides, you’re not even clothed. If word about this gets out, it wouldn't bother me, but how would you explain things to your wife? Furthermore, Mr. Raven and the others live downstairs. If a helicopter flies in at night and several men come to my room, and another man without clothes is taken away, what would they think of me, then?”Charlie nodded and said helplessly, “You’re right about all that, but how are we going to get there now?”Vera said, “Wait a moment, Young Master. I'll make the necessary arrangements.”After saying this, Vera immediately stood up, went downstairs, and changed into a simple T-shirt and a pair of jeans.She made a phone call, and twenty minutes later, a two-seater light helicopter swiftly flew above the courtyard, then slowly landed in the yard.Once the pilot got out of the helicopter, he left through the courtyard gate without looking back.After he left, Vera came to the courtyard, took down a new se
