Chapter 266
So, did this mean that she would not be letting her best friend down even if she was in love with Charlie?Perhaps her best friend would even be relieved if she got together with Charlie in the end!As she thought about this, Loreen hurriedly said to Charlie, “Then let me thank you for the trouble in advance, Charlie!”Charlie smiled at Loreen before he replied, “No, it’s no trouble at all.”His smile made Loreen’s heart beat even quicker at this time.Even though reason told her there was no hope for her since Charlie was her best friend’s husband, she could not help but to have all sorts of weird thoughts running through her head due to the emotional impulse she was feeling.Charlie did not know of what was going through Loreen’s mind at this time. Therefore, he gave Loreen his phone number without any hesitation.At this time, Zachary stepped forward before he said in a flattering tone, “Mr. Wade, you’re really incredible! Even someone as frightening as the Butcher Brothers c

When they drove into the city, the terrifying storm gradually subsided as if nothing had happened earlier.Then, a spring breeze dispersed the stormy cloud and a rainbow hung in the sky like a painting. Everyone looked upwards, mesmerized in nature’s beauty.Charlie stopped the car at the entrance of the antiquity commodity market and dropped Zachary off here.As soon as Zachary got out of the car, he bowed at Charlie respectfully and said, “Thank you, Master Wade!”Charlie looked at him and said flatly, “Zach, don’t ever tell anyone about what happened today, do you understand?”“Yes, of course! Don’t worry, Master Wade,” Zachary said in a gracious and serious tone. His face was full of admiration as he regarded Charlie as a godlike figure.Charlie nodded and drove away. Zachary, on the other hand, stood on the same spot and watched him leave, not daring to move even when the car had disappeared from his sight.Charlie sent Loreen, who still remained in the car, directly to the

Looking at the condescending Jacob who was walking on the path of no return, Charlie shook his head dejected and returned to his room.Claire had already taken her shower and she put on lavender silk spaghetti pajamas.Her pajamas exposed her shoulders. Her skin was so soft and smooth like the silk pajamas and the pajamas barely covered her back and hugged her figure snugly. Charlie felt his throat going unusually dry tonight as he stared intensely at Claire.She was lying sideways on the bed. The thin and silky pajamas lay on the graceful curves of her body like artificial skin. The skirt covered her thighs and her long fair legs stretched out lazily on the bed.Claire blushed timidly as she noticed Charlie’s intense glare that she chided, “Stop looking at me like that, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before.”Charlie plastered a sheepish grin on his face. “Dear, you’re so beautiful that it’s never enough.”Claire rolled her eyes at his ridiculous remark but there was a spark

Claire went to her new office early the next morning.Meanwhile, Charlie rode his electric scooter to the wet market.As Claire was very busy with her office lately, he specially bought some nutritious ingredients in order to cook some nice dishes for her.After he finished shopping, Charlie walked out of the market and stumbled upon Loreen.“Charlie!” Loreen shouted his name, thrilled and overjoyed.Charlie was surprised. “Hey, Loreen, what a coincidence!”Loreen looked at Charlie and mumbled hesitantly, “Yes… erm, no… no, I… I…”Charlie tilted his head, confused. “Speak slowly. Have you encountered any problems recently?”Loreen’s face turned into a bright shade of red. Actually, she had waited for him outside Claire’s house early in the morning and had been following Charlie all the way.Loreen cleared her throat, mustered some courage, and said, “I… I’m actually here to thank you for saving me yesterday.”Charlie smiled. “It’s my pleasure, I saved you because you are Clai

It was no wonder he couldn’t find the pebble after that day, he had dropped it! Coincidentally, or rather, unfortunately, Loreen had picked it up…How could he explain it? Damn…Charlie bit his lips sheepishly and said in a casual tone, “What do you mean? It’s just some ordinary pebble.”Loreen looked Charlie in the eyes and said sternly, “Don’t lie to me! Zachary has already told me that this pebble is yours—it’s the rare, one and only peace and wealth pebble!”Charlie pursed his lips and looked away, silently cursing Zachary for spilling the beans!Since Loreen had grasped the conclusive evidence, Charlie could only confess with a reluctant nod, “Okay, fine, I’ll admit that I was the one who rescued you at the Aurous Bistro, but I was simply around the neighborhood when I saw you! Please don’t tell Claire!”He fell silent after confessing. They stumbled upon an awkward silence for a while.Charlie felt quite embarrassed and awkward. He didn’t know how to face Loreen since his

After returning home, Charlie threw the encounter with Loreen out the window.However, after calming down, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t refined the medicine he had promised Anthony Simmons and the Moore family.For them, the medicine was simply the most amazing medication the world could provide.But in Charlie’s opinion, it was merely one of the most common medicines in the Apocalyptic Book. If he could refine and produce the more powerful and magnificent medicines recorded in the book, he wondered if it could bring back the dead or even make someone immortal?Despite its possible miracle, those magnificent drugs required a lot of exotic and rare ingredients, some of which he hadn’t even heard of. Most importantly, a lot of them were primers that needed reiki to refine into usable materials. He was just a beginner in producing medicine and there’s still a long way to go. Hence, he needed to tread slowly and cautiously.Nevertheless, Charlie was willing to refine and prod

“That’s great, thanks!” Charlie said with a smile. “Remember to prepare more of them, I have other uses for them.”Charlie had all the money in the world for those ingredients but he needed a reliable channel to get them from. Good medical ingredients are like fine pieces of antique relics that are not easy to come across. For things that precious, money was not the main issue, but a legitimate way to get them was instead.His foundation in Aurous Hill was very shallow compared to the Moore family’s influence and power in the city. They would have their trustworthy resources in every aspect here.As soon as Jasmine ended the call, she received a list of medicinal ingredients from Charlie. Immediately afterward, she called Graham Quinton.Although the Quinton family was not as prominent as the Moore family, their main trade and business revolved around antiquities, cultural relics, and Chinese herbal medicine.Even Charlie didn’t know that Graham was literally the largest supplier
Chapter 273
Ever since she had been taught a lesson by Charlie, Aurora had thoroughly realized that humbleness and modesty were crucial as there was always someone better than she was.When she learned about Charlie’s supernatural abilities, admiration and shame started to root inside her heart towards him.She was ashamed because she intended to duel with him, not knowing what she was up against.Nevertheless, girls with feisty and lively characteristics like herself were easily attracted to a much stronger man because this kind of man was the only one who could subdue their feistiness.Therefore, from then on, Aurora regarded Charlie as her biggest and the most admirable idol. When she heard that Charlie wanted to produce a magical elixir, she exclaimed, “Wow, I didn’t know that Master Wade can even make medicine. That’s incredible!”Graham sighed. “Frankly, I don’t know how powerful Master Wade is! We’ve only seen scraps of it! I heard that, a few days ago, even the genius doctor Anthony S
