Bruce quickly said, "Don't worry. I can go back to prison now as long as you can help me. I can receive your treatment there..." Charlie hummed and confided, "It's just that the treatment is tedious and takes time, and you have to be naked. More importantly, the treatment is quite painful, and you will definitely scream. Are you sure you want the people here to know about it?" Bruce hastily affirmed, "Don't worry about that. I'll have my most trusted guard take you out of the cell and secretly bring you to my office. I'll be waiting for you there. The soundproofing is very good. No one will hear anything. It will be a secret between us." Bruce attentively hoped to keep this situation a secret because it was too embarrassing. He could have vacated a room in the prison so that Charlie could treat him, but on second thought, he realized that no place was absolutely safe. After all, this was a prison. Many places had no blind spots and were patrolled 24 hours a day. He would be doo
Bruce's face was contorted in agony when he returned to the prison with Michael's help. He felt a wave of helplessness wash over him, the pain unrelenting. Due to the strict management of the prison, only authorized personnel were allowed to enter. Bruce ordered his trusted subordinates to bring him in to avoid suspicion and asked Michael to return to the hospital. After returning to the office, Bruce ordered his subordinate to go to Charlie's cell and take him out, all the while enduring severe pain. The prison guard went to the door of Charlie's cell, unlocked the gate, and commanded, "Who is Charlie Wade? Come out." Charlie leisurely got up from the bed and silently walked to the door. The guard first closed the cell door, then whispered to Charlie, "The warden is waiting for you in the office. Come with me." Charlie nodded and followed the guard out of the prison area. The guard first took him to the prison's infirmary. The doctor in the infirmary was off duty. The guar
"Reiki?" Bruce asked, bewildered. "What's that?" Instead of answering his question, Charlie coldly asked, "There's a secret passage in your office, isn't there? Did you lock Biden Cole under the secret passage?" Bruce stared at Charlie in astonishment and muttered, "W-What... W-Who the hell are you?! How do you know about the secret passage and Biden Cole?" "I came here because of him." Charlie grinned. Then, Charlie penetrated his Reiki into Bruce's brain and commanded in a stern tone, "Answer me!" Bruce trembled all over. His brain immediately regarded Charlie as an honorable figure, and he answered truthfully, "There is indeed a secret passage behind my office, which is an elevator shaft, and there is a secret cell under it. Biden is locked up there.""Who else is there besides him?" Charlie asked. "No one..." Bruce replied. "He's the only one there, locked in a completely sealed room. I send him food and water once a day." Charlie continued, "Why did the Rothschild f
Charlie stepped into the narrow elevator with Bruce following close behind. The control panel in the elevator only had one green button. Bruce pressed the button and explained, "If someone is at the bottom, press this button to go up. If someone is at the top, press this button to go down. You can't stop in the middle." Charlie nodded. As the elevator started moving down, he looked at Bruce and asked, "How deep is it down here?" "60 meters," Bruce answered. Charlie asked curiously, "How did you secretly dig such a deep elevator shaft?" Bruce detailed, "Although Brooklyn Prison is a federal prison, it has long been controlled by the Rothschild family. A few years ago, they donated a sum of money to renovate the prison. In fact, the money was mainly used to build this elevator shaft and underground fortifications." He paused for a second and continued, "From the looks of it, there is only one access, but there is a one-way underground access that can be opened from the outsid
The room was about 20 square meters. There was an open space of about 7 square meters outside the room without any furniture or objects. There was only a toilet and a faucet with a small stream of water running inside. A man with a full beard and disheveled hair covering half his face was sitting crookedly on the toilet. A solid metal collar was placed around his neck. Behind the collar was an iron chain as thick as a thumb. The length of the iron chain was short enough that he could not reach the open space no matter what. He could only be confined to the corner of the room. The floor was damp and cold. There was no place to sit or lie down. There was not even a straw mat, let alone a mattress. The harsh environment had caused the man to curl up on the toilet to sleep with great difficulty. At this moment, the man heard the commotion and raised his head weakly. As he and Charlie exchanged glances, his eyes widened in utter shock as if he had been struck by lightning, and his who
Charlie urged without hesitation, "Let's go outside and talk!" "No..." Raymond shook his head and insisted, "We'll talk here."He pointed at Bruce, who was standing there dazed, and assured, "He's the only one who came here recently. Since you've controlled him, we are absolutely safe for now. I need to explain something to you right now." Charlie hesitated for a moment before nodding lightly. "Alright. Let me heal you first, then we'll talk." With that, he placed his fingers on Raymond's meridian and transferred some Reiki into the latter’s body. The Reiki restored and greatly improved Raymond’s physical condition. Raymond gasped in surprise, feeling the healing power within him, "It seems that you have mastered the Apocalyptic Book. Your father would be very pleased." Since Raymond was getting better, Charlie told Bruce to stand guard outside the room, and he and Raymond sat on the floor. Raymond started, "What do you want to know? Just ask, and I'll answer you." Charl
"Yes." Raymond nodded. "The unofficial history I read recorded that when Huang Chao started the rebellion, he was lucky enough to be assisted by a master who located and obtained the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Huang Chao failed to succeed as an emperor despite the help of the treasure tower. As a result, the tower fell into the hands of Zhu Wen. “However, the tower couldn't play its true role as Zhu Wen didn't have talented people who studied the Book of Changes. Since then, the whereabouts of the tower have been unknown." Raymond paused for a moment before continuing, "The tower resurfaced several hundred years later in the hands of Nurhaci. According to the legend, Nurhaci was blessed by the tower. The nation's fortunes soared. It coincided with the decline of the Ming Dynasty and continued to grow stronger. Then, the country entered the Qing Dynasty, and they finally successfully conquered the land." Charlie asked, intrigued, "In that case, the tower must have been a national
Charlie finally knew the whole story of Raymond's imprisonment in Brooklyn Prison. He sighed lightly. "I was skeptical at first. With the Rothschild family's power, if you had really stolen from them, they would not have to settle it through legal means. It turned out that you called the police and surrendered." "That's right." Raymond nodded and lamented helplessly, "In this country, even though the family is powerful enough to override the law, they do not want to cause public anger. I did indeed steal from them, but since I turned myself in, the case must go through the legal process.” "In this case, they cannot take me away directly. After all, I'm famous in antique dealing, and I know people. If they arrest and torture me and the news gets out, the police will suffer the humiliation. "So, the family can only settle for the second best option and let the court do their things and imprison me. However, no matter how badly they torture me, they can't kill me because I was onl
After the convoy pulled into the parking lot, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits came down immediately and surrounded Julien's car with a professional stance as they looked around vigilantly. One of the men walked toward Heaven Springs, and Albert walked out to meet him at the same time. The man scanned the surroundings like a CIA agent and whispered into the microphone of the walkie-talkie he was wearing, "Everyone, stay where you are and stay alert!" Albert had already stood in front of him by the time he finished speaking. The man looked at Albert and asked, "Are you the manager of the restaurant?" If Charlie hadn't informed Albert about the guest today, Albert would probably have been intimidated by the man and his posture. However, Albert already knew Julien's identity and his next trip to his dog kennel, so he didn't take the man seriously at all and sneered contemptuously, "Manager? Hah! I own this place!" After that, he raised his eyebrows and asked the man
At ten o'clock in the morning, a private jet converted from a Boeing 747-8 landed at Aurous Airport. Once Julien, heir of the Rothschild family, and his entourage had arrived, customs clearance was completed as quickly as possible. The family's staff stationed in Oskia had been waiting for his arrival. Although it was unknown when Julien would be in power, for them, he was the second-in-command of the family, so they treated him with great respect. As Julien left the airport, a Cadillac convoy was parked outside. These vehicles were all ordered by the Rothschild family from the United States, featuring the same models as those used by the president. Although they didn't appear as extravagant and luxurious as Rolls-Royce cars, each of these vehicles costs much more than a Rolls-Royce Phantom. In fact, the old money families had already abandoned Rolls-Royce a long time ago. Nowadays, Rolls-Royce wonders were more often young second-generation rich individuals or those who su
Before Sonia could fully understand the meaning behind Charlie's words, he had already reached out and gently tapped her shoulder. In that instant, Sonia felt her previously sealed sixth meridian completely open! Her cultivation immediately broke through into the six-star warrior rank. Every advancement in a small realm brought a refreshing feeling, and Sonia clearly sensed the changes within herself. She was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, unable to control her tears of joy. Just a few minutes ago, she was feeling frustrated and desperate about her future cultivation, but Charlie had so generously opened her sixth meridian for her. To be clear, even if Charlie hadn't sealed her three meridians, she still wouldn't have reached the stage of breakthrough to a six-star warrior yet. Even though she was in the late stages of becoming a five-star warrior, it would have taken at least a few more years to make a breakthrough. What Charlie did not only removed the shackles on
At one point, Sonia thought about summoning the courage to go to Charlie and beg him for mercy. But upon the thought of her previous arrogance and outrageous remarks, she resisted the urge. Thus, she became even more depressed and sat cross-legged, staring at the floor. Charlie only needed a glance to notice Sonia's dejection. After all, in a crowd of people cheering excitedly, she sat there silently, looking completely out of place. Charlie knew very well that Sonia's frustration was undoubtedly because he had sealed her meridians. On her own, she no longer had the possibility of further advancement. Recalling her earlier disrespectful remarks, he chalked it up to the personality of a young martial arts fanatic. It wasn't that Charlie was petty or unwilling to let go of past grievances, but the key issue was that he had already opened all of her meridians in one go. If he were to seal them back up, she would instantly become a master at the Great Perfection Realm of Illu
Albert then selected a few students to help him distribute a bottle of oral fluid to everyone. Even Caden, who had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, got his share. After the distribution, Charlie said, "What you're holding in your hands is a special supplement for strengthening the body and the meridians. After you take it, it will help your cultivation. If you happen to be at the critical stage of a realm breakthrough, you might be able to complete the breakthrough with this bottle of supplement." Everyone was especially excited when they heard that it was a medicine that could improve cultivation. For martial artists, the most valuable things were complete internal capabilities and supplements that could improve strength. Many martial artists spent their entire lives in arduous cultivation without ever receiving the assistance of any medicinal elixir. At times, they could feel that they were just one step away from breaking through to the nex
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
