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

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

Graham put on a sullen face and said earnestly, “Darling, before long, Master Wade will be so successful that he’ll spread his wings and soar into the sky like a proud eagle! Until then, all the families in Aurous Hill, no, even families across the country will curry favor with him. They’ll send their most beautiful and charming daughters into his embrace! Baby, you have to seize the opportunity when you deliver the materials to him!”“Huh…”Aurora blushed a timid red. “Dad, what are you talking about… I don’t understand… what opportunity…”“Yes, go on with your act,” Graham squinted at her and teased. “I can see that you admire him very much, don’t you?”Aurora lowered her head shyly, her face now as red as a cherry tomato. She nodded slightly.Graham continued, “I have a hunch that a real master like Master Wade will not stay in the small den of the Wilson family for too long. One day, he’ll leave them. So, you must act fast! Establish a good relationship with him as soon as pos
Chapter 275
Early the next morning, Charlie was about to go out to the market when he received a call. It was Aurora, the Quinton family’s hot pepper.Aurora’s coquettish voice resonated through the phone. “Master Wade, are you at home now?”“Yes I am. Why? How may I help you?”“My dad has asked me to deliver some medicinal ingredients to you and he’s said that it’s Miss Moore’s order. May I know if it is a good time to visit you now? I’ll come over if it’s a convenient time for you.”Claire was out early, busy with her new office, while Jacob had gone out with Elaine to the Thompson First mansion to check the progress of the renovation. Charlie was alone at home right now, so he replied, “Okay, come over then.”“Okay! I’ll be there soon!”A few minutes later, Charlie heard a knock on the door.He opened the door and saw Aurora. She was wearing a beige dress, her long wavy hair cascading over her shoulder and her cheeks painted with a pinkish timid blush. She looked extremely beautiful and

It was all the best medicinal ingredients laid out in the huge luggage! Some of them were so rare that Charlie couldn’t even buy them!Bewildered, Charlie looked at Aurora and asked, “Where did your father get so many wonderful ingredients?”“Well, frankly speaking, our family owns a diversified range of business, one of them being medicinal materials. Our ancestors were medicinal material merchants since the late 19th century, and we had our own delivery team that gathered the best medicinal materials from all over the country and sold them to the rich and famous in the city. We’ve been in this business ever since.”Then, she started hurriedly, “Oh yes, my father says that if you need anything in terms of medicinal materials or ingredients in the future, you can tell us directly and we’ll do our best to meet your needs!”Again, Charlie was astonished.Ever since he accidentally obtained the Apocalyptic Book, he was mesmerized by its incredible and mysterious contents. There were

Be it Graham or Aurora, one magical elixir from Charlie was what they could ask for. It was their biggest jackpot! With the magical elixir, they could revive their family members who were halfway through heaven’s gate and it would mean a lot for a wealthy and powerful family like theirs.However, they had never expected Charlie to be so generous as to give them two!Aurora stared in a daze as if Charlie’s word was a form of lightning that had struck her point-blank. She looked intensely at Charlie, her eyes covered with foggy mist, and tears as large as beans rolled down her puffy pinkish cheeks. She sobbed as she said, “Master Wade… you… are you serious?”Charlie laughed. “Why? Do you think I’m just bluffing you?”“Oh, no! No!” Aurora shook her head hurriedly, her tears flying, making the entire scene rather adorable and hilarious.She wiped her tears and said in a sobbing but grateful voice, “I just can’t believe it… Thank you! Thank you so much!”Then, she bowed respectfully.
