Lulu’s expression suddenly became somewhat uneasy. She had known her husband for over ten years, and their daughter was already twelve years old this year. She couldn't believe that her husband could be suspected of anything.But then again, she also knew very well that before the incident with Adrienne happened, she had been very affectionate with Jaxson. Everyone thought that Jaxson had married a beautiful, elegant, and kind wife, but who would have known that she would have wanted to kill the entire Acker family, sparing no one at all?!At this point, Keith added, “After the incident in New York last time, both Kaeden and I had great suspicion of Zekeiah, but not long after that, Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison. So, our focus shifted entirely to Adrienne. Thinking about it now, it's hard to clear suspicion away from Zekeiah.”Charlie then spoke up and said, “I think what Grandpa said makes a lot of sense. If we calculate this matter based on this timeline, Uncle Zekei

Charlie knew that it was the best time for him to bluff now. The plane that the three elders from Qing Eliminating Society were on had turned back over the ocean, proving that Fleur was afraid.Since she was afraid, it was time for him to strike while the iron was hot.The Ackers wouldn't leave Aurous Hill for the time being, and there were definitely spies from the Qing Eliminating Society within the Ackers. By taking advantage of this opportunity to spread the word, it could also serve as a deterrent.The current Acker family members had complete trust in Charlie. Since Charlie said so, everyone naturally had no objections and planned to follow Charlie's instructions.As for Lulu's husband, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to start probing him immediately. After all, in his opinion, if the Ackers kept a low profile from now on and didn't give any outsiders a chance to pry into their secrets, the situation could be stabilized.As for Fleur, since she had received his threat, she would

Charlie chuckled and said, “Grandma, don't worry. The alcohol has already been consumed by my internal qi, so I won’t be drunk driving.”After saying that, Charlie added, “By the way, Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go to Willow Manor tomorrow to transfer the formation for the Rejuvenating Pill here. You two should live in Aurous Hill for a while longer. Your health will improve even further then.”Lady Acker subconsciously said, “Charlie, don't waste the Rejuvenating Pill on us again…”Lord Acker, who was aside, also said very seriously, “I just said that Charlie can make all the arrangements, so you don't need to contradict me.”For Keith, he had already taken a whole Rejuvenating Pill. In fact, the formation wasn't that important to him anymore, but he recognized a basic logic: since Charlie had asked them to follow his arrangements, he naturally had to abide by that decision, regardless of whether Charlie's decision was beneficial or detrimental to him.Lady Acker’s thoughts were actua

At night at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, everyone except Vera had already retreated. After Charlie arrived by car, he passed through the courtyard directly and ascended the stone steps. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Vera was already there. Upon seeing Charlie, she greeted him with an expression of joy and shyness, “Young Master…”At that moment, Vera was dressed in a white dress, and her long hair, which fell down her shoulders, still seemed a little damp. The adjacent hot spring pool was still filled with many flower petals floating on the surface, giving the entire courtyard a faint floral fragrance.Charlie subconsciously guessed that Vera had just finished bathing, so he refrained from looking at the hot spring pool and focused on her instead. He said with a hint of nervousness, “Miss Lavor, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. Besides the matter I promised the three elderly gentlemen earlier, I also have some things that I need you to help me solve.”Vera b

Charlie said, “I just met my grandparents’ family. My eldest uncle mentioned that my father happened to obtain a book called the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book. Although my eldest uncle didn't know what was written in the book, he remembered my father often mentioned terms like the ‘fate of the ascending dragon’. I once heard Master Lennard say that people's destinies can be categorized into different destinies such as the fate of the python and the fate of the dragon, but I didn't know what the fate of the ascending dragon is.”Vera didn't answer Charlie's question but curiously asked, “When you mentioned Master Lennard, which Master Lennard are you referring to? What's his name?”Charlie replied, “He is Chandler Lennard, the direct descendant of the Feng Shui master, Master Brice Lennard…”Vera murmured, “Gold is solid, wood is tough, water is clear, fire burns, earth is hard, and wind is strong. The Chandler Lennard you mentioned should be the great-grandson of Jory Lennard, my

Vera's words stirred Charlie's curiosity. He quickly asked, “So, the one with the fate of the ascending dragon can ignore the laws of nature. Does that mean it's like what people say about ascension, where one can ascend like those in legends?"Vera chuckled and said, “Young Master, you're overthinking. Ascension is merely speculation derived from people's understanding of the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams. People often believe that by cultivating to a certain extent, they can ascend to another world, just like what we Easterners call the immortal realm or what Westerners refer to as the divine realm. However, according to my understanding of the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, no matter how long one cultivates, the essence of it is simply extending one’s lifespan and strength.”Charlie humbly asked, “Miss Lavor, could you please explain in more detail?”Vera nodded slightly and said seriously, “Young Master, extending lifespan and strength implies that the essence

Vera nodded, “According to the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, for lives that haven't passed through catastrophe, it’s true that Reiki doesn't exist anymore, but after passing through catastrophe, Reiki will appear.”Charlie asked in confusion, “That sounds somewhat unrealistic…”Vera smiled and said, “I thought so too at first. I even thought I might have misunderstood the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, but after World War II, I encountered modern technology with radio waves. Suddenly, it all made sense to me. Reiki might be like radio frequencies. Ordinary people can't perceive it with their bodies, but once they have the conditions to receive radio waves, they can continuously tap into the contents of those waves. Reiki might work similarly.”Charlie opened his eyes wide in shock and exclaimed, “So, does that mean the Degenerate Age of Dharma might not actually be the end?”Vera explained, “The Degenerate Age of Dharma is just a term coined by later generations.

Charlie hadn't done much research on the study of destiny.In the Apocalyptic Book, there was a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge, but it notably lacked explanations about destiny. He used to think that destiny might be like India's caste system, where a high destiny equated to a high caste, meaning a person of high caste only had a high social status, but they didn't inherently possess great strength. People of high caste could still get sick, age, and face various accidents just like anyone else. However, Vera's words suggested that destiny was far more complex than he had imagined.So, he asked Vera, “If my father had the fate of the dragon, would he not have been killed by Mr. Chardon?”Vera asserted confidently, “That’s right! The power of destiny lies in their absolute hierarchy. As long as a person with the fate of the dragon doesn't seek death, how could Mr. Chardon, who merely had the fate of the tiger, kill someone with the fate of the dragon? Young Master, you have the fa

Still, Jacob soon clenched his knuckles and pulled himself together. "It's fine—I'll just find another way of revenge. Whatever happens, if Raymond Cole dares to return to Aurous Hill, I'm not going to spare him. If I can't fight for my honor, how would I ever show my face in Antique Street ever again?"And without another word, he turned and left the dining room.Claire turned in exasperation toward Charlie then. "Please keep both eyes on my dad, dear. Don't let him cause trouble out there."Charlie nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I will."And with that, both of them cleaned up the dining room and stepped out together to find Jacob on the drawing room couch, sipping tea while watching TV.As for Elaine, she had a rare smile on her face as she sat beside Jacob, constantly refilling his cup.Then, seeing Claire and Charlie, she promptly beckoned, "Come, children—sit and have a taste of my tea."Claire and Charlie shared a look and sat down on the couch while Elaine poured them tea

Charlie, who hadn't spoken, had plenty of ideas in mind.He definitely didn't want to see Raymond humiliated in a rotten place like Aurous Hill's Antique Street—not when the man was a qualified hero, putting his life on the line to meet the Rothschild family and trade for the Four-Sided Treasure Tower.That was why Charlie's first thought was to call Don Albert and ask him to keep a close eye on Antique Street, preemptively killing the issue in the cradle before any saboteurs reached Raymond.However, Charlie also knew that Raymond would most likely refuse protection as the latter had seen action and was brave enough to fight the Rothschilds—and this was Aurous Hill they were talking about. He would be quite adept at resolving issues, especially one as simple as a handful of saboteurs.Hence, after some thought, Charlie decided to not get involved for now. Instead, he would watch quietly while letting Raymond deal with Aurous Hill's locals. As long as said locals—including Jacob—di

"What?!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly, suddenly on his feet. "That prick is really going to start a business in Aurous Hill? What, did he get sick of living the good life elsewhere?"In Jacob's mind, there were only two reasons why Raymond had returned to Aurous Hill.The first was that he had gotten so rich that he had come back to open a shop on Antique Street, to salvage some dignity after he had been fired from Vintage Deluxe. The other was the complete opposite—he had screwed up elsewhere too and had no choice but to return to Aurous Hill to make a living.If it was the former, he certainly wouldn't have hope for his revenge.But that was not the case if it was the latter!Meanwhile, Zachary replied, "Truth be told, I haven't seen the man in the flesh. But judging from my tip, he definitely wasn't doing well elsewhere, since the business he's planning now that he's back is quite modest."Jacob immediately laughed. "Hahaha! I see… He must have messed up out there and had no ch

Claire pursed her lips, grumbling, "Like you said, I won't tell Mom for the sake of peace. But you know very well that you shouldn't do that ever again!"Jacob nodded repeatedly as he promised. "Don't worry—I'll never do it again."As he finished, his phone rang on the table, and he looked down to see that it was Zacahary."That's weird," he murmured in surprise. "He's been hiding from me for the longest time, but he's calling me now?"Charlie was surprised too.After Zachary left Antique Street and started helping Don Albert's more unsavory business, he shouldn't have any reason to contact Jacob.So, why call him now?Jacob was confused too, but he ultimately answered the call.On the other end of the call, Zachary greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Wilson? It's me—Zachary. Do you still remember me?""Nonsense," Jacob snorted. "Why wouldn't I remember you after we've spoken so many times? I also couldn't reach out to you when I had all that good stuff before, but you're contactin

Meanwhile, at Thomson's First, the family of four was peacefully having dinner for the first time.While Charlie and Claire never argued, Jacob and Elaine were always either bickering or dissing each other, leaving the air around the table tense and awkward.But this time, neither of them argued, and they didn't seem to despise each other.The table was not just peaceful either—Elaine was a lot less bossy, even helping put food on Jacob's plate, having him try this and that, almost as if she was suddenly the best of wives.Jacob used to regard Elaine with disdain in every way, constantly lamenting how a great man like him didn't have a good wife.But with him being the way he was now, he utterly resigned to himself.It made sense that Matilda wouldn't be interested in him given his current state, and it was amazing that Elaine willingly stayed with him. That was why he no longer regarded Elaine with unconcealed disgust and disdain like before and was instead gentle and emotiona

Mick was left gritting his teeth. "Shit, that's true. It's going to be hard to pull the wool over Raymond's eyes—it has to be the best to actually trick him."Then, he sighed. "If there's someone who can do that, it'd be Zachary Evans! The man was a God back in the day!"The employee nodded. "Well, it's true that his replicas were impeccable… But the man has made it big time working for Don Albert, and we won't be able to ask for his help!"Mick shook his head. "No, it's fine. We're quite close—let me call him right now."With that, he whipped out his phone to make the call.While Zachary used to be humble in Mick's presence before, Zachary was now way above him on the pecking order.Afraid of being remotely disrespectful, he promptly greeted Zachary politely as soon as the latter answered, "Hello, Zachary! It's me, Mick Crane!" "Uh-huh," Zachary replied noncommittally before asking in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure?"Ever since Zachary had started working for Don A

Raymond may have worked abroad for years and was a veteran in antiques, but he was still lacking when it came to reading between the lines.Taking Mick's words at face value, he promptly shook his head, "No, you really shouldn't. I wasn't planning to come back here to work, so you mustn't mention me to Ms. Moore either."And unlike Mick, he really meant what he said, while Mick was saying the complete opposite of what he was thinking.Naturally, Mick didn't believe Raymond, even presuming that Raymond was a liar like himself.The more Raymond said he didn't want to return to Vintage Deluxe, the more he thought he was.Hence, he asked despite knowing the answer, "Well, what are you planning to do now that you've returned to Aurous Hill?""It's been years of traveling for me, so I was just getting a little tired," Raymond admitted. "I'm planning to set up a small business in Aurous Hill, most likely here in Antique Street. That's why I'm visiting—do be neighborly when I set up shop

Meanwhile, Raymond had no idea that he was being targeted as soon as he returned to Antique Street.He had reached the middle where rows of three-floored buildings stood, the largest on the street, and where Vintage Deluxe was. It was not closed yet as tradition on Antique Street was for stalls to open in the morning and close in the afternoon. In comparison, shops opened later and closed later.With the difference of two to three hours, they could afford to have customers who had lower purchasing power or were just window shopping to stroll through the outdoor stalls. Then, when they were gone, customers with actual purchasing power would come on their own time.As Raymond arrived outside Vintage Deluxe, Mick just finished his meeting with his employees, summing up, "So, does anyone have anything to do tonight?"They all shook their heads, answering as one, "No!!!"Mick nodded. "If there's nothing else, stay back for overtime. Ask for some spicy crayfish and beer for dinner."

However, Raymond had accomplished the assignment Curtis had given him years ago, so he had no intention of staying at Aurous Hill and remained unrepentant despite Jasmine's pressure. That was why he could ask to resign without hesitation, even urging her to let him go despite the pain.That was why Mick was now worried that Raymond would return to reclaim his position as manager."Keep an eye on him for me," he told Trippy. "Tell me if anything comes up right away—I will make it worth your while.""Alright!" Trippy agreed to it. "Don't worry—I'll call right away if anything comes up."Once Trippy hung up, Mick gathered the handful of Vintage Deluxe employees.They were all his close allies he had groomed after he took over Vintage Deluxe. Even if Mick hadn't been succeeding in his business, he was succeeding in building his own forces. Anyone who didn't obey his orders had since been removed, and the remaining ones were basically his co-conspirators, embezzling a considerable am
