Chapter 5868
After Fleur's private jet landed at Entrell Airport, it didn't undergo much preparation before getting ready to fly directly to Australia.According to the flight plan, just like their previous trip, they would refuel in Australia and then fly directly to Buenos Aires.While the plane Fleur was on was taxiing for takeoff on the right runway of Entrell Airport, a private jet carrying Charlie and Vera landed on the other runway.A Mercedes SUV was already parked in the airport parking lot. After leaving the airport, Charlie and Vera headed straight for the parking lot. After finding the SUV, Charlie reached for a set of car keys from the inside of the left front wheel.He then used the keys to unlock the door and got into the car together with Vera before heading toward the direction of Mount Tason.Vera, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was somewhat uneasy. She felt that Fleur's sudden departure from Mount Tason indicated that there must be risks on Mount Tason that neither s

Charlie nodded, “She probably dropped the car first, then jumped down herself.”Vera quickly asked, “Young Master, you're not planning to jump down from here too, are you?”Charlie said with a smile, “No. Here's the plan. You will drive to the next exit off the highway and wait for me in town. I'll go down from here.”Vera instinctively grabbed Charlie's hand, nervously saying, “No! I want to be with you!”Charlie sighed helplessly, opened the map on the console, pointed to their current location and then to the location of the town where Fleur had reappeared as he said to Vera, “We know that Fleur jumped from here and then appeared in this town, but we can't be sure where she actually went. If it's not too far from these two points, it's manageable. But if it's far, her route could be a very long acute angle, making the search area very large. If you follow me down, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it.”Vera said determinedly, “I want to go! You might have to take care of m

Vera's words made Charlie start to seriously consider whether ‘Marcius is really still alive’ for the first time. This was a seemingly absurd question at first glance.There was no record in the Apocalyptic Book about someone living for over a thousand years, so this touched on his knowledge blind spot long ago. In fact, the Apocalyptic Book did not even mention the Eternal Pill.Even Vera fell into Charlie's knowledge blind spot, let alone Marcius.While there was no direct evidence to prove whether Marcius was alive or dead, Charlie did not dare to be presumptuous. It was essential to be prudent, and he could not afford to be careless.So, he said to Vera, “Miss Lavor, I fully agree with what you’ve just said, but since we're here already, there's no reason for us to retreat now. Let's go along with your suggestion and explore together.”Vera knew that Charlie would not give up easily, and he was already making the biggest concession by letting her accompany him, so she nodded

The path split in two at the foot of the mountain. The one on the right led deeper into the mountains, while the one on the left led to the mountaintop of another smaller mountain to the left. However, compared to the mountain Charlie and Vera were currently climbing, this one was much smaller. At the top of that mountain, there was a small area of reddish-brown low buildings, the purpose of which was unknown.Mount Tason was naturally warm and humid even though it was already mid-autumn. Therefore, the vegetation here grew particularly lush. The slopes, mountaintops, and valleys were all lush green, appearing exceptionally pure under the sunlight, completely devoid of modern labels.Vera followed Charlie closely, admiring the scenery before her. As she looked at the scenery before her, she couldn't help but praise, “Ancient people often said that winding paths lead to secluded spots. I never imagined that the scenery along the way up to Mount Tason, which used to make people feel te

The nun's words surprised both Charlie and Vera. Neither of them had expected to be recognized in front of a nunnery on Mount Tason without exposing themselves to Fleur. Therefore, Charlie did not wait for Vera to speak up and simply asked the nun with a wary expression, “Who are you? Are you pretending to be a nun and washing clothes here just to wait for us to show up?”The nun clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to Charlie, saying, “Sir, I'm not pretending to be a nun. I'm a bhikkhuni at Quiant Monastery, practicing Buddhism there. The abbess knew that you two would pass by here today, so she specifically asked me to come and wait here.”She then looked at Vera and said earnestly, “Benefactor, our abbess said you have a deep affinity with Buddhism. She would like to invite you to the nunnery for a brief chat. It won't take up too much of your time.”After pondering for a moment, Vera nodded gently and said, “Okay then, I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way there.”

When Vera saw Charlie relenting, she quickly nodded, saying, “Okay! Just twenty minutes!”Upon seeing this, the young nun bowed respectfully to Charlie again and said, “Sir, please wait a moment."She then turned to Vera with a respectful expression and said, “Benefactor, please come with me.”Vera nodded and gave Charlie a reassuring smile, whispering softly in his ear, “Please wait here for a moment, Young Master. I'll be back soon.”Charlie nodded slightly and watched as Vera and the young nun ascended the mountain together.Charlie watched the two of them get farther and farther away, saw them walking step by step to reach the mountaintop, and saw the young nun open the door of the monastery for Vera respectfully. He even saw Vera turn back and wave to him before entering, but he couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious.He felt that even if the other party wasn't a villain, their precise prediction of him and Vera still sent chills down his spine. Ever since he had obtained t

Upon hearing Vera's question, the abbess explained earnestly, “To be frank, Miss Lavor, the place you and Mr. Wade want to go is just fifty miles ahead. However, Miss Lavor, while you can go there and even Fleur Griffin can go there, Mr. Wade cannot go there.”“Master, you know of Fleur?”When Vera heard the abbess mention Fleur, she was even more astonished.She couldn't understand the identity of this abbess, let alone why she had such extraordinary abilities. Knowing about Charlie and herself was one thing, but she even knew about Fleur’s existence.Her being able to mention Fleur's name proved that she must have some understanding of Fleur's life story.In other words, she must know that Fleur had lived from over three hundred years ago to today.Vera was secretly terrified in her heart as she looked at the abbess, thinking, ‘She knows Fleur's secrets, so does she also know my secrets as well?’The abbess, now dropping all pretense, calmly said, “I'll be frank with you, Miss

With that said, Vera bent her knees and was about to kneel down.When the abbess saw this, she quickly stepped forward, supporting Vera's body before she could kneel down, and she said, “Miss Lavor has witnessed the vicissitudes of the world for hundreds of years. I dare not overstep in front of you. Please refrain from this grand gesture.”As she supported Vera, she continued, “Miss Lavor, you should surely know of the mysteries of fate. Even in the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, the slightest changes could lead to vastly different outcomes. If I say too much, there is a risk of causing a backlash. If you truly wish to help Mr. Wade, it is best to minimize the variables. I can clearly tell you that there are dangers ahead for Mr. Wade, and you only need to ensure that Mr. Wade can give up moving forward. This would be the best outcome. Too much knowledge for either you or Mr. Wade could lead to even greater variables.”When Vera heard the abbess's words about her witnessin
