Even though he was touched by his grandson's filial piety, he still felt unworthy of being a grandfather and thought he didn't deserve such deep filial piety from his grandson.When he heard that Charlie no longer blamed him, the huge burden in his heart finally fell.At this moment, Charlie looked at Keith and said, “Grandpa, on such a joyous day, I really want to have a drink with you. So, enjoy yourself and take this Rejuvenating Pill now. When we drink later, let's both have a few more glasses!”Seeing that Charlie had brought up the matter to this extent, Keith unloaded the burden in his heart and nodded heavily, saying, “Okay, Charlie, you will accompany Grandpa to enjoy some drinks later!”Lady Acker, who was next to them, was also delighted and said, “Charlie, Don Albert prepared some ingredients for me. I made a dish of stuffed eggplants that you used to love when you were young. Do you remember how they taste?”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Of course I remember.
The two elderly people kept looking at each other, hoping to see the legendary effect of time turning back from each other's faces.The Rejuvenating Pill never disappoints. Once its effects kicked in, it was like a slideshow that was being played in fast-forward mode.The snow-white hair of the two elderly people quickly began to show patches of black, and the deep wrinkles on their faces seemed to diminish instantly. Their sagging faces also appeared to have gained the ability to defy gravity.As they looked at each other, they were both astonished and delighted to see their companion, whom they had spent most of their lives with and whom they had witnessed gradual aging, suddenly begin to rapidly grow younger. This miraculous experience elevated their feelings for each other once again.However, the biggest change was in their bodies.The old man’s brain which had been ravaged by Alzheimer's disease started to become clearer and more lucid. He was originally an extremely intelli
The table was filled with delicious dishes, most of which were prepared by the chefs from The Heaven Springs. Charlie was already accustomed to the taste of The Heaven Springs, so he wasn't particularly impressed. However, the eggplant dish prepared by his grandmother still brought back memories of his childhood.The Acker family members were even happier. Everyone poured themselves a drink, celebrating as a family because they had finally found Charlie. Their excitement was evident.After a few drinks, the Acker family members started chatting. They asked Charlie about the details of his life over the years while also providing him with detailed updates about the things the Ackers had been through.After that, the conversation turned to the times Charlie had saved the Ackers from danger. This provided Charlie with an opportunity to discuss the current risks the Ackers were facing.Charlie said, “I've always suspected that there must be other moles planted by the Qing Eliminating S
Lulu’s expression suddenly became somewhat uneasy. She had known her husband for over ten years, and their daughter was already twelve years old this year. She couldn't believe that her husband could be suspected of anything.But then again, she also knew very well that before the incident with Adrienne happened, she had been very affectionate with Jaxson. Everyone thought that Jaxson had married a beautiful, elegant, and kind wife, but who would have known that she would have wanted to kill the entire Acker family, sparing no one at all?!At this point, Keith added, “After the incident in New York last time, both Kaeden and I had great suspicion of Zekeiah, but not long after that, Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison. So, our focus shifted entirely to Adrienne. Thinking about it now, it's hard to clear suspicion away from Zekeiah.”Charlie then spoke up and said, “I think what Grandpa said makes a lot of sense. If we calculate this matter based on this timeline, Uncle Zekei
Charlie knew that it was the best time for him to bluff now. The plane that the three elders from Qing Eliminating Society were on had turned back over the ocean, proving that Fleur was afraid.Since she was afraid, it was time for him to strike while the iron was hot.The Ackers wouldn't leave Aurous Hill for the time being, and there were definitely spies from the Qing Eliminating Society within the Ackers. By taking advantage of this opportunity to spread the word, it could also serve as a deterrent.The current Acker family members had complete trust in Charlie. Since Charlie said so, everyone naturally had no objections and planned to follow Charlie's instructions.As for Lulu's husband, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to start probing him immediately. After all, in his opinion, if the Ackers kept a low profile from now on and didn't give any outsiders a chance to pry into their secrets, the situation could be stabilized.As for Fleur, since she had received his threat, she would
Charlie chuckled and said, “Grandma, don't worry. The alcohol has already been consumed by my internal qi, so I won’t be drunk driving.”After saying that, Charlie added, “By the way, Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go to Willow Manor tomorrow to transfer the formation for the Rejuvenating Pill here. You two should live in Aurous Hill for a while longer. Your health will improve even further then.”Lady Acker subconsciously said, “Charlie, don't waste the Rejuvenating Pill on us again…”Lord Acker, who was aside, also said very seriously, “I just said that Charlie can make all the arrangements, so you don't need to contradict me.”For Keith, he had already taken a whole Rejuvenating Pill. In fact, the formation wasn't that important to him anymore, but he recognized a basic logic: since Charlie had asked them to follow his arrangements, he naturally had to abide by that decision, regardless of whether Charlie's decision was beneficial or detrimental to him.Lady Acker’s thoughts were actua
At night at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, everyone except Vera had already retreated. After Charlie arrived by car, he passed through the courtyard directly and ascended the stone steps. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Vera was already there. Upon seeing Charlie, she greeted him with an expression of joy and shyness, “Young Master…”At that moment, Vera was dressed in a white dress, and her long hair, which fell down her shoulders, still seemed a little damp. The adjacent hot spring pool was still filled with many flower petals floating on the surface, giving the entire courtyard a faint floral fragrance.Charlie subconsciously guessed that Vera had just finished bathing, so he refrained from looking at the hot spring pool and focused on her instead. He said with a hint of nervousness, “Miss Lavor, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. Besides the matter I promised the three elderly gentlemen earlier, I also have some things that I need you to help me solve.”Vera b
Charlie said, “I just met my grandparents’ family. My eldest uncle mentioned that my father happened to obtain a book called the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book. Although my eldest uncle didn't know what was written in the book, he remembered my father often mentioned terms like the ‘fate of the ascending dragon’. I once heard Master Lennard say that people's destinies can be categorized into different destinies such as the fate of the python and the fate of the dragon, but I didn't know what the fate of the ascending dragon is.”Vera didn't answer Charlie's question but curiously asked, “When you mentioned Master Lennard, which Master Lennard are you referring to? What's his name?”Charlie replied, “He is Chandler Lennard, the direct descendant of the Feng Shui master, Master Brice Lennard…”Vera murmured, “Gold is solid, wood is tough, water is clear, fire burns, earth is hard, and wind is strong. The Chandler Lennard you mentioned should be the great-grandson of Jory Lennard, my
