Chapter 7533
But when relaxed, Vera was just as childish as any adolescent.In just thirty minutes, the airbus was towed out of the hangar, taxied to the end of the runway, before its twin engines roared and took flight. On board, Vera's escorts all stayed in the rear cabin, while Vera was the one in the front—even a close confidante, Emmett, wouldn't impose. The flight from Aurous Hill to Osaka didn't take long—just two and a half hours later, the plane landed at Osaka Airport.Even as things got a little quieter now just before dawn, no one knew that the oldest guest they had just touched down.It was 6.30 am Tokyo time, and the sun was just rising above the eastern horizon.Vera—using an ID with the most generic of Oskian names—passed through customs without issue.She didn't hop on a train to Kyoto right away, instead taking the time to buy a Kuromi backpack attached with a ton of cute little accessories from an airport store. Loosening her ponytail, she tied it into cute pigtails be

The flight Emmett arranged arrived very quickly.He didn't just make arrangements either. He brought along dozens of elite bodyguards, and was personally on board waiting to receive Vera when the private jet touched down.Aurous Hill Airport had express instructions from high-ranking officials to let Logan's Rolls-Royce go straight to the hangar, without passing through any security or customs checks.Vera was clad entirely in black, her long hair tied into a high ponytail, with her face hidden with shades and a mask.The rise of AI and the omnipresence of security systems made such precautions necessary, though even a little disguise like this went a long way to deter detection.The Rolls-Royce arrived beneath an Airbus A350, where the elderly Emmett was already waiting at the boarding stairs.After the car came to a stop, he moved up to open the car door for Vera and greet her respectfully. "Ms. Lavor."Vera asked, "What are you doing here?"Emmett bowed as he replied, "I'm c

Vera's persistence paid off—just before the Oskian New Year, the red blip representing Claire's cell access suddenly lit up at the cell tower near Qi Temple! Vera smiled as she watched, and she officially designated the third black piece on the board as Qi Temple. And now was the time to find out more details revolving around the red piece: Who did Claire meet at Qi Temple? Was it the fake abbess? Stephen? Or someone else entirely? That was when another name occurred to her—when Charlie told her about Jeevika, whom Ito Nanako met by chance at Qi Temple, offering guidance that helped her enlightenment. Considering that black side always appeared near temples, she quickly decided that Jeevika was on black's side. Hence, putting the third red piece below the third black piece, she cracked a small smile. "Guess this one would be Jeevika." She hence googled any information she could get on Master Jeevika. As it turned out, the priest was genuinely an enlightened figure in Budd
Chapter 7530
Vera remembered then that when she and Charlie first arrived in Eastcliff, Stephen had disappeared after delivering Charlie's parents' old photo album to the Wades' house. It was at that moment when she noticed Stephen was acting strange.Furthermore, when Vera had traveled to the Qi Temple, she met the fake abbess from the Quiant Monastery exactly as she had hoped!That made the Qi Temple all the more suspect!Even as Vera felt she was getting closer to the truth, she quickly reached for her phone to call Emmett Sandsor."Ms. Lavor," he greeted her at once respectfully. "What can I do for you this late at night?"Vera asked, "Do you have any access to all telco operators' encrypted data?""Of course," Emmett promptly replied. "What would you like to access?""Mrs. Wade's access records," Vera said solemnly. "Any access to the operators over the past few months, with specific locations down to the closest cell tower. Then mark her location on a map according to the timeline."
Chapter 7529
Vera and Charlie hadn't known each other for that long, but as far as she knew, the mysterious faction helping him in secret first surfaced at the Quiant Monastery.At the time, she and Charlie were traveling to Mount Tason, when they unexpectedly encountered the fake abbess waiting for them there at the Quiant Monastery, at the fringes of Mount Tason.The fake abbess not only knew their intended trip to Mount Tason, but also that Mount Tason would be fraught with danger for Charlie.Hence, on her checkers board, Vera placed a red piece under the first black piece.The black piece above represented the Quiant Monastery, and the red piece below represented the fake abbess.Then, the two flew directly from Mount Tason to Eastcliff.So, she took out another black piece and placed it behind the first black piece.Initially, in her mind, the second black piece represented Eastcliff, when she remembered the time she and Charlie first arrived in Eastcliff. Stephen had delivered Charl

Charlie himself was undoubtedly the life knot—so who exactly was this person in the middle? The fickle fence-sitter?Still, Vera told Charlie despite her confusion, "I can only ask for your patience while I meditate on the connection. I will inform you right away when I have something.Charlie nodded.If the likes of Merlin Lammy asked for years to track down Claire, he knew he couldn't expect instant results from Vera no matter how much of a miracle worker she was.It just couldn't be rushed.Then, remembering the letter Claire had left for him at home, Charlie suddenly felt a strong urge to head home, so he told Vera, "It's late now, so I shouldn't impose any further. Just call me right away if you have something."Despite being reluctant to see him go, Vera smiled and nodded without asking him to stay. "Of course. I'll walk with you."-Once Charlie left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, he promptly rushed home to Thompson First. Everything in the house was exactly as Nanako had sho

The scheming old bat sure know how to pull the wool over Jacob's eyes wanting them in the family villa to manipulate Claire for money
why does it cost so much to read this book, anyway?
not normal you have to pay more than a book for this novel. No real interest, many consistancy mistakes throughout the book, the author most probably wrote over a long period. same strings all over again. A shame the idea was ok but even ironfist is better....
charlie says "I have a better idea let's go to my villa you know the one you tried to claim. he will be well taken care of there."
here let us poison Humm prepare this room just for Jacob...
Elaine are so annoying and i hate Lady Wilson too!! Charlie lied so much to Claire. Oh Gosh...
And there is!
The same repetitive story over and over
