Upon seeing that Charlie had made a decision, Isaac quickly said, “Young Master, since that's the case, let me confirm the itinerary with the private jet company now. Is there anything else you need me to do?”Charlie replied, “No, that’s all. After you arrange everything for me, don't tell anyone about my return to Aurous Hill because I might only be returning for a day or two, and then I'll be heading out again. I won’t be meeting anyone when I go back.”Isaac didn't ask for reasons and promptly said, “Understood, Young Master!”Charlie initially did not plan to return to Aurous Hill so hastily. He had intended for Fleur to go to Mount Tason first while he accompanied Vera to stay in Yorkshire Hill for a few more days. After all, she had lived here since childhood but hadn't returned for over three hundred years. This homesickness might be something that others simply couldn't understand or experience.When Fleur was about to leave Mount Tason, he would then return with Vera to A
Charlie did not have a reason to refuse Vera’s request. Though Mount Tason was undoubtedly treacherous for a frail girl like Vera, with him around, those dangers seemed trivial. With this thought in mind, Charlie agreed, saying, “Since that's the case, let’s go together.”Vera was extremely thrilled and nodded eagerly as she said, “Thank you, Young Master! I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble!”Charlie smiled slightly and sat next to the Mother of Pu'er Tea as he suggested, “Let's wait here for a while. We will dig up this sapling and head to the airport at dawn.”Vera nodded before sitting down next to the Mother of Pu'er Tea. She looked at the calm surface of Heavenly Lake and asked softly, “Young Master, do you think the storm just now was reality or simply an illusion?”Charlie pondered for a moment and said, “It should have been an illusion, right? What do you think?”Vera contemplated it for a moment and said, “I feel like it was somewhere between reality and illusi
Charlie nodded and said, “You haven't told me about your experience of being ambushed by Fleur on Hong Kong Island and narrowly escaping death in detail.”Vera smiled and said, “Young Master, if you want to hear about it, I'll tell you all about it when we get back.”Charlie stretched lazily and said, “Okay, then. It's about time we head to the airport.”With that said, he pointed to the Mother of Pu'er Tea and said, “Miss Lavor, you have experience in planting tea trees. Would you mind digging up the Mother of Pu'er Tea?”Vera nodded and was about to start digging up the Mother of Pu'er Tea with her bare hands. However, just as she reached out her hand, she suddenly stopped and exclaimed, “Young Master, look! The leaves we picked last night have already grown back!”“Is that so?” Charlie, puzzled, focused his gaze and found that two extremely fresh, dew-covered tender leaves had already grown at the two spots where he had plucked the leaves yesterday.Charlie couldn't help but m
Charlie and Vera returned smoothly.The plane took off on time at 8:30 a.m. and arrived in Aurous Hill at exactly 11:00 a.m.At noon, the two hurried back to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. All along the way, Vera held the young sapling of the Mother of Pu'er Tea the whole time, not daring to relax for a moment.After returning to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, Vera asked everyone at the villa to temporarily leave and went to the top floor courtyard with Charlie to immediately replant the young sapling of the Mother of Pu’er Tea.After looking around the courtyard, Vera realized that if she didn't cut down the other trees in the courtyard, only the space by the hot spring pool would indeed be most suitable.She pointed at the empty space and said to Charlie, “According to the normal growth rate of tea trees, the space here is probably enough for a tea tree to grow for eight to ten years. I just don't know how fast the Mother of Pu'er Tea will grow. If it grows to a certain size and the soil spac
With that said, Charlie added, “By the way, Miss Lavor, please have Mr. Sandsor come over so that I can discuss the surveillance matters with him.”Vera stood up and said, “Please wait a moment, Young Master. I'll call Mr. Sandsor.”Soon, Emmett, who looked much younger, hurriedly arrived at the top courtyard.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he said respectfully, “Miss, Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?”Vera asked, “Is there a way to gather all the surveillance footage from Yorkshire Hill from the past few days without alerting anyone?”Emmett replied, “Miss, as long as it belongs to the municipal surveillance, it can be accessed within the system. Given my high authority, I can retrieve it without leaving any trace. Just tell me which surveillance you need to gather.”Vera nodded, recalling that Fleur had appeared at Mount Turtle Back at around 11:00 a.m. yesterday, so she said, “Retrieve all the surveillance footage from Stoneridge first.”Emmett said, “Okay, please wait
At this moment, there were very few cars on the highway. Occasionally, a car would pass by, but nobody paid much attention to the woman parked in the emergency lane. Although parking on the emergency lane was theoretically not allowed, there were few surveillance cameras on this highway in the mountains. In addition, with low traffic and the beautiful scenery, tired drivers often chose to stop and admire the view. So, it wasn't an unusual sight for anyone.The vehicles passing by in a hurry did not surprise Fleur, but she was puzzled by the hundred-meter-high bridge spanning between two mountains, connecting two tunnels. She knew this was the closest point on the highway to where her master used to meditate.However, since this area was nearly uninhabited and there were no exits on the highway for tens of kilometers in either direction. This meant that if she wanted to reach her destination quickly, she could only jump from here. Otherwise, she'd have to exit the highway dozens of
Fleur's thoughts stirred, and she then wrapped the off-road vehicle with numerous broken branches, concealing it thoroughly. After that, she straightened her clothes and walked toward the depths of the mountains without looking back.-Meanwhile, all surveillance videos from Stoneridge had been transferred by Emmett's subordinates to a special cloud server. After giving the server address and password to Vera, Vera, along with Charlie, watched the surveillance videos on a laptop in her room.Although Mount Turtle Back had no surveillance, based on Fleur's time of arrival, Vera quickly found her figure on the surveillance footage at the entrance to the mountain. Starting from this surveillance camera, they traced back to Stoneridge Ancient Town, covering all of Fleur's routes within the surveillance range.As a result, the two easily found Fleur's off-road vehicle in the parking lot. In Oskia, while people might escape surveillance, it was nearly impossible for vehicles to do so. An
Charlie was well aware that this time, he wasn't searching for Fleur herself, but rather for the place she intended to go. When he released the portrait of Marcius, Fleur immediately silenced the Qing Eliminating Society, proving her intense fear. However, the more fearful she was, the more she stealthily came to Oskia alone and went to Mount Tason. This indicated her urgency.Charlie speculated that she was probably searching for the secrets left behind by Marcius and perhaps the ‘secret to longevity’ mentioned by Mr. Chardon earlier. So, after Fleur left Mount Tason, he planned to enter and search for it. Regardless of whether he found anything, at the very least, he wouldn't be risking danger unnecessarily.Meanwhile, in Mount Tason, Fleur was like a heroine from a martial arts film as she swiftly moved through the dense forests between the mountains, almost as if the steep mountains and deep forests were nothing before her. Although she ventured deeper into the mountains, her p
