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

    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

    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.

    If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and

    Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m

    Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic

    After that, Charlie asked with a bit of curiosity, "When did you and Matilda decide to get married?" Yolden smiled sheepishly and explained, "Remember when the city organized our cultural exchange trip to South Korea? I confessed to Matilda during that trip, and she accepted. After spending some time together, we both felt we were a great match. Considering our age, we didn't want to delay such an important decision any longer, so we decided to take the next step and build a family together." He continued, "Last month, we went to Lambonear for a few days. I bought a ring and proposed to her by the seaside, and she said yes. We also sought the opinion of our respective children—Autumn and Paul—and they were both very supportive. Both kids are exceptional and independent, so they urged us to have the wedding as soon as possible. I wanted to wait until you returned so I could check your schedule. For our wedding, we'd like to ask you to be our officiant." "What? Me as the officiant?

    Charlie said without hesitation, "Sure. When is it convenient for you? Send me the address, and I'll go meet you." Charlie had always respected Yolden not only because he was a nice and talented man but also because he and his mother went way back and went to the same school. Yolden said hastily, "I've just come from Senior University. It's the weekend, and I don't have classes today. Why don't you send me the address and I'll meet you?" Charlie gave it some thought. It was a little past 3 p.m., so Yolden had likely already had lunch, and there were still a few hours until dinner. Inviting him to The Heaven Springs didn't seem ideal for a discussion. Considering that he had lived in the United States for many years and probably had a habit of having coffee in the afternoon, Charlie said, "How about this? There's a Starbucks not far south of the university. Let's meet there for a cup of coffee." "Perfect!" Yolden said with a smile. "I was just thinking you could give me an addre

    On the way back to The Heaven Springs, Julien was in a much better mood than when he had arrived. Initially, he was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Charlie had planned. But now, everything had become clear. The troublesome matter of Salem and Edmund was no longer his concern. All he had to do was wait for the video from the ship to be released and then head back home. Charlie noticed his improved mood and smiled as he asked, "Julien, you've resolved the most critical matter right after landing in Aurous Hill. You must be feeling pretty happy, right?" Julien chuckled and said, "To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I'd end up going back empty-handed and being secretly mocked by others. But now, it's different. Once your video is released, no one can blame me for not doing my job. If anything, they can only blame their family for missing their chance. After all, so much time has passed, and it's their fault Salem and Edmund were moved to the Middle East." As he

    "Good." With a light nod, Charlie turned to Jiro and spoke up, "Jiro, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." "Okay, Mr. Wade!" Jiro beamed excitedly. "Please tell me what to do! I promise I will do my best to serve you." Charlie smiled and said, "Once the ship is ready, you'll board it together with them. Your only task is to keep a close watch on them the entire time. Don't let them pull any tricks. If you succeed, you'll be a free man here. You'll get a basic monthly salary and can ask for anything you like within reason—so long as it's not contraband, it will be yours." Hearing this, Jiro was so thrilled that he trembled all over. His current treatment was already decent, but he was still only a semi-free man. He didn't dare casually set foot on the ground outside. If he could become a truly free man, he would be able to enjoy the sunlight outdoors freely. More importantly, from then on, he would have a salary. Although he couldn't personally go out shopping, having a sa

    Julien had uncovered Charlie's true identity quite some time ago and investigated Charlie's background. He was well aware that Charlie had become the head of the Wade family and that the Acker family fully supported him. Although the outside world believed that Ten Thousand Armies had subdued the Wade family, Julien had witnessed Charlie's methods firsthand. Even the top two figures of the Rothschild family had been toyed with by Charlie, so how could Ten Thousand Armies possibly make him surrender? Thus, Julien deduced that Ten Thousand Armies was undoubtedly Charlie's covert tool. Considering the combined strength of the Wade family, the Acker family, and Charlie's personally cultivated forces, it was evident that Charlie even had the power to contend with the entire Rothschild family. Moreover, with the life-extending pill in his possession and the life of the Rothschild family head in his hands, Charlie's chances of prevailing in a confrontation against the Rothschilds were e

    Enraged, Julien cursed while angrily raising his leg, "Damn it! How dare you negotiate your terms now?!" Charlie stopped him and said, "Calm down. 1 billion dollars is quite a good amount. You offer 100 million, he offers 1 billion—doesn't that mean I'll make 1.1 billion?" Dumbfounded, Julien said, "Mr. Wade, how can you even take that money? Wouldn't taking the money expose you?" Charlie smiled and said, "That's simple. I'll give you a plan that not only makes your task impossible to complete but also gives me a chance to collect the money. What do you think?" "What's the idea?" Julien asked in surprise. Charlie replied, "Here's the plan, I'll have someone put these two on a cargo ship bound for the Middle East. Once the ship passes Sri Lanka and enters the Arabian Sea, I'll have them record a video with the endless ocean as the backdrop. In the video, they'll inform their family to prepare 1 billion dollars. The money will be transferred directly in cryptocurrency." "Once
