As Vera piloted the light helicopter into the air again, Charlie took the opportunity to take the Regeneration Pill. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at the headquarters of the Qing Eliminating Society, Fleur paced anxiously in her room. She was already four hundred years old this year, but she looked like she was only in her thirties. Although she was charming and spirited, her current state of agitation and restlessness caused her ruthlessness to be etched on her face, making anyone who looked at her feel intimidated. The last time Fleur felt this restless was when she was chased into the mountains by the Qing army for the first time together with Elijah. Over the years, although she hadn't found Vera, it was, after all, a cat-and-mouse game that had lasted for three hundred years. She had always played the role of the cat, so she did not feel so anxious even when she could not find Vera. However, the source of her anxiety and uneasiness at this moment was that her two great
Fleur also felt somewhat worried at this moment as she muttered to herself, “Mr. Chardon’s strength is already remarkable, and he’s already even more powerful with the magical instrument I gave him. If he really sacrificed himself in the explosion, then the person who forced him to do so must be much stronger than him.”As she spoke, Fleur couldn't help but exclaim, “I never expected that there would be such a skilled master in Aurous Hill. Based on my understanding of the Ackers, they couldn't possibly have any contact with someone this powerful. So, who exactly is this person?”Tarlon couldn't help but say, “British Lord, I believe that person should be acquainted with the Ackers. Otherwise, why would he save them at the critical moment?”Fleur shook her head with a gloomy expression and said, “I don't know either. If Mr. Chardon really perished in the explosion, his opponent must be a cultivator with even greater strength. However, I've had people secretly monitoring the Ackers f
After pausing for a moment, Tarlon continued, “Moreover, in the recent period of time, they have been gaining one victory after another with unstoppable momentum. If we don't stop them now, I’m afraid there might be even more trouble in the future! British Lord, this crisis is unprecedented, so you can't hesitate anymore!”Fleur fell into a momentary silence.Tarlon’s concerns added to her anxiety and unease. She knew that what Tarlon said made sense. If they allowed the other side to continue growing in secret, it would probably pose a huge threat to her in the future!With this in mind, she clenched her teeth and said, “Inform the Central Governor Office immediately and get them to send the best scouts on a plane to Aurous Hill immediately to investigate this matter!”“If Mr. Chardon really perished in the explosion, the tremendous force will inevitably leave traces of the explosion within a radius of several hundred meters. After dawn tomorrow, as long as they fly over Willow Ma
The cell phone was completely shattered and deformed, and even the battery bulged due to the deformation. When she saw this, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that the cell phone couldn't possibly continue to relay her position to the British Lord.After about ten minutes, Charlie finally recovered thanks to the effects of the Regeneration Pill. He stretched his neck, lazily stretching his body in the narrow cabin, looking nothing like a person who had just been heavily injured and weak.Vera, who was aside, exclaimed in surprise, “Young Master, you've already recovered?!”Charlie nodded slightly and said, “My body has recovered, but I haven’t recovered my Reiki yet.”As he spoke, he took out two Cultivating Pills and popped them into his mouth. As soon as the pills entered his stomach, they turned into pure Reiki, flowing through his repaired meridians and elixir field, spreading throughout his body.Charlie felt the surging Reiki returning, immediately experiencing
When Vera saw Charlie point in a certain direction, she didn't even look and pulled the control lever directly, making the helicopter fly accurately in the direction Charlie’s finger was pointing.At this moment, Ruby, who was hiding in the crevice of the boulders, still didn't know she had been targeted by the other party. She just wanted to do her best not to move her body, not to make any noise, and wait for the people on the helicopter to inspect and naturally leave this place. She was absolutely confident that she wouldn't be discovered by the other party.The helicopter circled the valley several times, but the people above never came down to search, and the boulder blocking Ruby’s head was very thick. Even if the other party used equipment such as thermal imaging, they couldn't possibly discover her whereabouts through this boulder. What caused Ruby to feel increasingly uneasy was that the helicopter was actually roaring toward her direction! As the helicopter approached clo
Ruby was extremely nervous. She knew that if she was discovered by the other party, she would almost certainly die, and the other party would definitely torture her in every possible way to extract information from her about the Qing Eliminating Society and the British Lord. Moreover, the Qing Eliminating Society had attempted to annihilate the Ackers repeatedly. Once she fell into their hands, even if she cooperated obediently, she probably wouldn't have a good outcome. So, her last glimmer of hope at the moment was that the other party wouldn't find her.Just when she was still holding onto this last bit of hope, Charlie suddenly spoke loudly, “Miss Dijo, you were secretly observing my fight with Mr. Chardon in the dark just now, and now, you're still hiding in the shadows. Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?”Charlie’s words struck Ruby’s mind like a thunderbolt.In that instant, countless thoughts rushed through her mind, ‘This person actually found me?! This person… This pe
After saying this, Ruby struggled to try to stand up. Although she had chosen to give in to Charlie, as a cultivator, she didn't want Charlie to see her climbing out from the gap between the boulder.However, her body was already severely injured by the explosion, and climbing all the way here had almost exhausted all her strength. So, when she struggled to stand up, her legs were trembling.When she clenched her teeth and tried to take a step forward, a sudden intense pain shot through her right leg, and then her whole body fell forward uncontrollably.When Charlie saw her falling toward the sharp and hard rocks, he immediately threw a punch toward her in mid-air.A powerful wave of energy surged out from his fist, creating a powerful whirlwind. The whirlwind was so fast that it held Ruby’s body, which was already at a forty-five-degree angle and about to fall, firmly in the air!At the moment when Ruby’s body fell, she had completely resigned herself to her fate. She knew that i
She bowed respectfully to Charlie with shock and gratitude as she said with teary eyes, “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Wade…”Charlie released his hand that was holding her and said calmly, “If you truly want to thank me, tell me everything you know in detail later.”Ruby immediately replied without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, please rest assured that I will tell you everything without reservation.”Charlie nodded without saying a word, then turned around and walked back.Ruby hurriedly followed and saw the beautiful girl standing in front of her as well.When she saw the girl's face clearly, she was shocked as if she had seen a ghost, and she exclaimed in astonishment, “Vera… Vera Lavor?!”“Yes, it's me!” Vera replied directly. She then looked at Ruby, blinked playfully, and said with a smile, “You are Miss Dijo, right? I've heard about you for a long time. People say you are beautiful and cool. Today, after seeing you in person, it seems as if seeing is believing.”Ruby’s dark
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
