LOGINPausing, Claire then added, "There are two flights, and we could head over at the end of the month, and then fly back after New Year's."Charlie chuckled. "Is your mom asking, or did she tell you to persuade me?""The latter," Claire laughed too. "Guess you know her best. She really wanted us to all go together."Considering his plans, Charlie decided that he had no special reason to stay in the country anyway.Since Claire put it that way, she must be interested—she would have refused Elaine otherwise.Nodding cheerfully, he said, "Alright, let's go together!"Claire smiled. "In that case, I'll make some time over the next few days to decide which island suits our price range.""Oh, forget it," Charlie waved her off. "I'm raking in the millions, why worry about cost? Pick the most expensive one, and we will head over!"Then, before Claire could protest, he insisted, "Just leave it to me. Don't worry!"Claire was well aware that Charlie had been making a lot of money as a Feng
Past midnight, Charlie's flight landed at Aurous Hill's airport.Nervous, he got in a cab right after he left the airport, heading straight to Thompson First.Along the way, he was still wondering what he should say if Claire asked.But after much thinking, he still decided that denial was the best option here, or he wouldn't explain why he had to get kissy with Tanya for four concerts.Claire's mind was a mess too, as she was now mostly positive that the masked dancer was her own husband.But she couldn't decide whether to squeeze the truth out of him, since there was no direct evidence that the masked dancer was Charlie. The only proof she had was at best circumstantial, as she couldn't reach Charlie on his phone while the masked dancer was on stage.And that didn't prove anything.While Claire's thoughts remained a mess, Charlie arrived home.Elaine and Jacob had gone to bed for a while, and Claire hurried to the window upstairs when she heard the front gate opening, her h
After sending that message, Charlie then added: [Don't wait up for me, dear. Get some rest soon.]Claire then replied: [I can't sleep knowing you're coming back. I'll be waiting at home.]Touched, Charlie sent: [I'll make it back as soon as I can!]Before long, his plane had moved to the runway.The airport wasn't that busy at night, and the flight took off five minutes early.Bored with no internet connection, Charlie swiped through his phone aimlessly when he noticed the missed call from Claire.And it was just minutes before he answered her call.Doing a mental calculation of the time, Charlie realized the first call came while he was on stage with Quinn and Tanya.That was the only time he didn't have his phone, or he wouldn't have missed Claire's call.Charlie was about to dismiss that without a thought… until he closed his phone screen and saw the lady sitting next to him, browsing video clips she had preloaded before boarding.There were a lot of them, as she was swipi
Charlie still had no idea he had been exposed, but didn't wait until Tanya's concert was over to leave with Quinn, only informing Tanya's manager beforehand.On the way to the airport, he told Quinn, "It's rare for you to have a break, and you just did four concerts with Tanya. So stay put in Eastcliff and spend time with your parents."Quinn smiled and asked, "Is it just me or are you worried that I'll perform in Tanya's concerts again?"Tanya had twenty concerts in Oskia, having now done eight and having twelve left.As her crew's so-called Feng Shui consultant, he naturally was going to stick with the crew, while Quinn was also eager to collaborate with Tanya again.Their next stop was Luketown, and she could head over to make another guest appearance while spending more time with Charlie.Instead, he was telling her to stay home with her parents, which also meant he didn't want her to go.Charlie felt more or less embarrassed that Quinn saw through him, but defended himself,
Quinn exclaimed in surprise, "But it's past nine, Charlie! Even if you want to hurry, does it have to be now?""I have to go," Charlie replied.Quinn groaned. "Do you miss Ms. Wilson?""Not Ms. Wilson—Mrs. Wade," Charlie corrected her."Nope," Quinn snorted, at once stern. "She's the third wheeler here and I'm understanding enough to let her have you.""Yeah, yeah," Charlie sighed, knowing that there's no beating Quinn in this argument.If he argued about first-come, first-served, Quinn would say she had known him since they were kids.If he argued that they were legally married, Quinn would argue that they had an engagement and that such promises weren't meant to be broken.Either way, she'd have just cause, and Charlie knew he didn't, so he avoided the fight.Giving up, he sighed, "Ms. Wilson it is. Anyway, I've been gone from home for days, so it's time I head home."Quinn didn't press that issue. "I'll drive you to the airport."Charlie shook his head. "I can send you ho
Did these fans have money that grew on trees? Couldn't they do something more productive with it, like getting groceries or just shopping for clothes?Instead of spending money on themselves, they would rather throw money at an internet stranger just to see a man's face! It was crazy!And three million people playing 100 dollars each? That's 300 million dollars!Still, the Oskian netizens had a different opinion—what was shocking about that?Since ancient times, they had to pay money just to see a celebrity's pictures.Naturally, they were priced a lot lower, ranging from 28 to 58 Oskian dollars…-By the fourth day, Claire was feeling curious about the masked man too.After staring at videos for three days, she thought the masked dancer resembled Charlie no matter how she looked at it.But every time she thought that, she would come up with a reason herself that it wasn't.That was, until the fourth day and she tapped into a livestream from a fan's phone, watching as the mas
Caden suddenly became even more confused, and he could not help but mutter, “Do you mean that stepping into the Dark Realm is actually just walking through one of the twenty-seven parts of entering the path through martial arts?”Charlie nodded and replied calmly but cruelly, “Yes.”Caden felt extreme
Charlie knew that Master Howton was here this time for the Healing Pill. Since he had already found and approached Anthony, Charlie could not let him continue to stay in Aurous Hill regardless of whether he knew of his identity or not.Therefore, the best thing to do right now was to take the initiat
With that said, she sighed and added, “Well, Mr. Jothurn, there are two paths for us to take now. We can either find out exactly how Vera left Northern Europe or find out how the Armed Calvary Guards we sent disappeared in Northern Europe. I’ll be generous and let you pick one out of the two paths f
Charlie’s words touched Lady Jenson completely, and she shed tears unknowingly. As her body was already suddenly much younger, she suddenly knelt before Charlie and groveled as she said piously, “Thank you, Benefactor. I will never forget your great kindness!”Charlie helped her up and said jokingly,
