Fleur was very pleased with the performance of the three at this moment. What she wanted was their unquestionable obedience. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taught them the technique to activate their pineal glands in the first place.Furthermore, the technique Fleur taught them was somewhat incomplete. Although they had been cultivating in seclusion for a hundred years, without Fleur’s external assistance over the last few years, the three of them would never have been able to activate their pineal glands no matter what it was. Even if their pineal glands were right in front of them and there was only the last layer of paper window separating them from activating it, without Fleur, they couldn't break through this final barrier. However, at this moment, the three of them had no way of knowing this.Therefore, in Fleur’s opinion, if the three of them valued their cultivation more than her commands now, she would have to restrict their final breakthrough to prevent them from becoming e
Meanwhile, Charlie was still in Champs Elys hot spring villa, having a long conversation with Vera and Ruby.Although he had decided to present a bold front and conceal his weakness in front of Fleur, there were still many details that needed to be clarified step by step.Vera said to Charlie, “Young Master, your idea to present a bold front and conceal your weakness is simply brilliant, but the only risk is how we should deal with the situation if the three elders come to Aurous Hill and Fleur hasn't paid attention to the painting of Master Marcius Stark? How should we deal with it?"Charlie laughed and said, “Don't worry. The most popular short video platform right now is owned by the Wades. I found a way to send this painting to the Calligraphy and Painting Association this morning. Within a few hours, we can naturally arrange for this painting to be on the trending topic. As long as Fleur is still paying attention to Aurous Hill, she will definitely see it.”Charlie then added,
Ruby nodded and said, “That's right.”Charlie asked again, “Have you ever used Reiki to explore its mysteries?”Ruby replied, “We tried, but the pineal gland is usually closed, and our Reiki can't enter it at all.”Charlie nodded, then sighed and said, “It seems that Fleur truly has formidable strength. I haven't even activated my own pineal gland. If I can't even activate my own, I don’t think I can activate other people’s pineal glands. Therefore, the self-destructive formation inside you probably can't be removed in the short term.”Ruby sighed lightly and said, “I never thought about removing the formation. I just hope it won't harm other innocent people. Besides, I don't have much time left to live. I will only be able to live for a little more than two years.” Charlie asked curiously, “Miss Chain, why do you say that?”Ruby explained, “I have a strange poison left by Fleur in my body. I have to take an antidote once every three years, or my meridians will be cut off, and m
Charlie had no immediate solution to Ruby's poison and the formation inside her pineal gland. This made him realize the significant gap between himself and Fleur.Although he had narrowly escaped the explosion thanks to the ring that Vera had given him, if Fleur sent three experts who were about to activate their pineal glands to Aurous Hill, Charlie probably wouldn't have any chance to survive. Even with Vera’s ring, he would only end up endangering her when the time comes. As for Fleur, she had activated her pineal gland over a hundred years ago, and her current cultivation must be unfathomable. She was ahead of Charlie by at least a hundred or even two to three hundred years. So, if Fleur was to come personally, Charlie probably had even less chance of survival.As Charlie thought of this, he couldn't help but feel grateful. If he hadn't saved the distressed Madam Jenson and her son in Mexico by chance, how would he have had the opportunity to obtain Master Marcius Stark’s paint
Charlie reached out his hands and helped her up. He had a solemn expression as he said loudly, “My goal is to kill Fleur with my own hands and avenge my parents. If you're willing to follow me, you'll have to be enemies with Fleur. Can you do it?”Ruby clenched her teeth and said, “Mr. Wade, you can rest assured. Fleur is treacherous and ruthless. Not only has she used poison to control me for decades, but she even turned me into a human bomb. I have an irreconcilable hatred with her!”Charlie nodded gently and said, “Great! If I can help you remove the poison from your body in two years and if I’m fortunate enough to activate my pineal gland in the future, I will do my best to help you remove the formation inside your pineal gland. After Fleur’s death, you will be completely free. I will not interfere with where you want to go or what you want to do. This is my promise to you today!”Ruby clasped her hands together gratefully and said, “Thank you for your graciousness, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie changed into his own clothes early in the morning and instructed Albert to settle Ruby down at Champs Elys Resort. Meanwhile, Charlie and Vera took the portrait of Marcius and boarded a helicopter back to Vera’s residence at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.Meanwhile, a Boeing 777-200LR took off from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, as it headed to Australia. Although this was the world's longest-range aircraft, its maximum range had not yet reached eighteen thousand kilometers. Therefore, the pilot’s flight plan was to first fly to Melbourne, Australia, refuel there, and then fly to Aurous Hill.Apart from the crew, there were only four passengers on the entire plane at the moment. These four people were Tarlon and the three elders who had just come out of their cultivation in seclusion. When these three elders went into seclusion more than a hundred years ago, the people of Oskia had just cut off their braids, and they only knew that foreigners had created planes that could
After Vera landed the helicopter on the top courtyard of the villa, she said to Charlie, “Young Master, please come with me. I will prepare the ink and paper for you to write on Master Marcius Stark's portrait.”Charlie asked curiously, “You want me to write the caption on it?” “Yes.” Vera said with a smile, “If Fleur sees my handwriting, she might suspect that we're bluffing.”Charlie was perplexed and asked, “You haven't met for centuries. How would she recognize your handwriting?”Vera pursed her lips and said with a smile, “After you saved me last time, I left her a few words before leaving Northern Europe. So, it's safer for you to do the writing.”Charlie nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do it, then.”After entering the study room on the first floor, Vera approached the long desk and prepared the ink for Charlie. Charlie picked up a brush and then wrote about Marcius’ life on the top right corner of his portrait.After he was done writing, he chuckled in a self-deprecating ma
Vera also felt relieved when she saw Charlie looking so confident. She glanced at the time and said, “Young Master, it's almost eight o'clock now. When do you plan to go home?”Charlie said, “My father-in-law usually leaves for the Calligraphy and Painting Association at nine o'clock. It's quite close to my home. Miss Lavor, there's no need for you to send me back. The helicopter makes too much noise in the downtown area, so I'll go back by myself.”Vera insisted, “Young Master, how can I let you go back alone? Why don’t you let me drive you back instead?”Charlie hurriedly declined, “It's really not necessary. I can walk by myself.”Vera sighed softly and said, “Young Master, if you leave like this and pass by the courtyard downstairs, the servants might misunderstand when they see you leaving my courtyard in the morning.”Charlie asked awkwardly, “What do you think is appropriate then, Miss Lavor?”Vera said, “Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll make the arrangements.”Ch
