Standing in the middle of the hangar, Fleur closed her eyes, and the surging Reiki spread out from her body, covering the entire hangar. She carefully scanned all the details in the hangar, and her eyebrows became more and more furrowed as she couldn't find anything of value. Seeing her frown, Tarlon assumed that the search was fruitless, so he asked after she opened her eyes, "Lord, have you found anything?" "No." Fleur shook her head and muttered, "That's strange. No one died in the fire? I would have sensed something otherwise." "Does this mean that Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro might not be dead?" asked Tarlon. Fleur nodded. "Maybe. It is possible that they are not dead since we can't find their bodies, but I don't understand why someone would want to take them." Tarlon analyzed, "It's probably because they thought that it would deal a huge blow to our organization, and they could get a lot of information about us from them." Fleur waved him off. "Killing them would be a bigg
Hearing Fleur's analysis, Tarpon was shocked and blurted, "W-What makes you think that?" Fleur answered, "Because he witnessed Mr. Chardon's self-destruction when he killed him, so he knew that he couldn't give Mr. Zorro a chance to self-destruct. He had to kill him with one blow, so he used such an unusual way to kill him." She then bellowed, "He's everywhere like a ghost! He not only survived Mr. Chardon's explosion but also killed another earl of mine not long after!" Tarpon asked, "The fire happened not long ago. Doesn't that mean that person is also in New York right now?" Fleur gritted her teeth and snarled, "If I'm not mistaken, we are now in the light while our enemy is in the dark. He must know that I came to New York, so he must not be here now. Also, he killed Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro before I landed and secretly sent the Four-Sided Treasure Tower back to Oskia. He also deliberately rented a plane in Zekeiah's name to fly to Oskia to trick me. The timing and precision o
For Charlie, this trip to the United States had been truly rewarding. He had managed to rescue Raymond, send the Four-Sided Treasure Tower back to Oskia, and murder Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro. Zekeiah was a mole planted in the Acker family, and Mr. Zorro was Fleur's last earl. Now that both of them had been killed, it was a big loss for the Qing Eliminating Society. The only people in the organization who could threaten Charlie were Fleur and the three elders who were about to open the pineal gland. Charlie was in no hurry to continue the war with the Qing Eliminating Society for now. It was a good opportunity to temporarily cease-fire since Fleur did not have the guts to attack Oskia. After he returned to Aurous Hill, he could take his time to study and understand the contents of the Preface of the Apocalyptic Book, and at the same time, he could also study the photo album his father had left behind to see if there were any other clues. Moreover, Oskia was safe now, so Charlie fe
Qi Temple, Aurous Hill. At the northern foot of Mount Qi and in the valley on the north side of Qi Temple, there was a serene courtyard. This courtyard belonged to Qi Temple, but it had never been open to the public. Even the monks of Qi Temple had been told by the abbot not to approach it without permission. At this moment, dawn had just arrived in Aurous Hill. There was not much light in the mountains, and the whole valley was shrouded in fog, the sound of birds chirping in the valley. In the courtyard, a gorgeous woman was sitting cross-legged on the futon, gently twisting the beads in her hand. The woman was Ashley, Charlie's mother. A woman with a very short haircut came out of the blue brick house. She was Suzanna Sun, Ashley's subordinate. Suzanne walked up to Ashley, stopped, and said respectfully, "Ma'am, I have just received news that Mr. Charlie has returned to Oskia." "Oh?" Ashley opened her eyes and gasped in surprise, "The Four-Sided Treasure Tower has jus
With Charlie out of Aurous Hill, Nanako had been concentrating on her martial arts practice for the past few days. For the time being, she stayed in the dormitory at Champs Elys and occasionally went home to visit her father. Yesterday, Yahiko had asked Nanako to join him for dinner because he missed her very much. He had ordered his chef to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and they had dined together. Banquets were usually upscale and elaborate, and the course could take up to three hours. Hence, Nanako had decided to stay home for the night instead of going back to Champs Elys. In order not to delay the morning practice, she had gotten up early at dawn, washed up, and prepared to head back to Champs Elys. As the elevator went down to the basement, it stopped at the ninth floor, and a young woman about the same age as Nanako entered as soon as the door opened. Nanako stood idly. Meanwhile, the young woman whispered mysteriously on the phone as she entered the elevator, "Oh, I di
Decorative lights and illuminants lit up the extravagant Wilson family mansion.Tonight was the 70th birthday banquet of Lady Wilson, the head of the Wilson family.Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her to hand her their luxurious gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love the Chinese tea. I looked high and low for this century-old Pu’er tea worth half a million dollars to present it to you.”“Grandma, you are a devoted Buddhist. This Buddha statue is carved from the authentic Hetian jade, it is worth seven hundred thousand dollars…”Looking at the nicely wrapped gifts in front of her, Lady Wilson laughed heartily. The entire ambiance was harmonious and happy.Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson’s eldest grandson-in-law, spoke, “Grandma, could you lend me a million dollars, please? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is diagnosed with uremia and I need the money for her treatment…”The entire Wilson family gaped in extreme shock. Everyone stared at Charlie with bewi
Ten billion dollars?!Charlie was shocked. His eyes wide open, his mouth wide agape.He knew that his grandfather was very wealthy, but back then, he was too young to understand the concept of money. He only knew that the Wade family was one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff and even the country, but he wasn’t sure what his net worth was.Right now, he finally knew.If ten billion dollars were just pocket money, it meant that the entire Wade family had a net worth of more than one trillion dollars!Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was slightly touched and swayed. However, when he thought about his deceased parents and how his grandfather was part of the reasons why they had died, he knew he could never easily forgive him.Sensing his frustration, Stephen quickly said, “Young Master, you are one of the Wade family members, so the money is yours. Besides, technically speaking, it belongs to your father.”“The Master said that if you’re willing to go home, he will let you
The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand’s parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiancé, Gerald White.Charlie didn’t know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, “Hey, Charlie!”Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his
