When Arrington saw Holden’s resolute attitude, he suddenly started panicking. Arrington did not know why this old b*stard, Holden, would suddenly change his mind, and Arrington did not know how he should report this matter to Lord Schulz when he got back. He had a sullen expression on his face as he pleaded desperately, trying to win him over, “Lord Harker, it does not matter if you’re not satisfied because of the money. If you’re not satisfied, you can feel free to bring it up. Lord Schulz has already mentioned that two billion dollars is just the starting price, but Lord Harker, if you’re not satisfied with this offer, Lord Schulz is willing to increase his offer. What do you think of three billion dollars?!”“Three billion dollars?!” Yuvin, who was aside, was already on the verge of losing his mind.He could no longer think about the exact concept of three billion dollars anymore, and he could only tell himself inwardly that he could increase and add on half the amount directly

At this time, Holden was inside the ancestral hall, and he had placed the three incense sticks in front of his father’s own ancestral tablet.Nearly a hundred Harker family’s ancestors were enshrined in the Harker family’s ancestral hall. Basically, only those who had made significant contributions to the Harker family would be qualified to place their ancestral tablet here.Amongst them, the person with the least seniority was Holden’s own father.Therefore, Holden paid his respects and placed the incense from the top to the bottom, and his father’s ancestral tablet was the last one.He had just inserted the three incense sticks that had been ignited into the incense burner, but before he could withdraw his hand from the incense burner, he heard his youngest son’s shout from outside the ancestral hall. He was startled for a moment, and he accidentally broke the three of these incense sticks all at once.When Yashita, who was aside, saw this, she hurriedly asked with concern, “Dad

When the members of the Harker family heard the news that Holden had broken through his fourth meridian, everyone was stunned for a moment. Immediately after that, a burst of crazy cheers erupted!Breaking through four meridians would mean that Holden had become a four-star martial artist!Throughout Oskia, the ‘four-star martial artist’ title had not appeared in nearly a hundred years!To them, hearing this news was as exciting and overwhelming as when the people in Oskia had heard the news of the successful first atomic bomb explosion. Back then, Oskia had successfully developed the atomic bomb, and this meant that the citizens of Oskia would no longer be facing nuclear threats from other nuclear-armed countries anymore. At the same time, they possessed a strong ability to defend themselves.Now that Holden had successfully broken through his fourth meridian, this was almost equivalent to the Harker family owning an atomic bomb!Just a few minutes ago, everyone present had sti

Just as Yuvin’s heart was filled with indignation, someone else in the car yelled out angrily, “The Harker family has also made a public announcement stating that anyone who has left the Harker family will not be allowed to go back anymore!”Everyone was shocked and horrified for a moment.They really would not have expected that they were the ones who had abandoned the Harker family to climb up the social ladder, but unexpectedly, the Harker family would actually turn around and enforce such drastic measures to deal with this situation.Now, all of them were the Harker family’s abandoned children.Lord Schulz, who was far away in Sudbury, was also very depressed.This morning, he had been hearing almost one bad news after the other.Firstly, it was the news that Holden had suddenly gone back on his word.After that, it was the news that Holden had suddenly become the top martial artist in the country.There was nothing more painful as compared to a situation where something th

Meanwhile, Sheldon had finally arrived in Syria after flying for a day and night.Unlike Charlie, who had the privilege of taking the Concorde, he could only fly all the way to the Middle East. After landing in Turkey, he had to cross the border of the country as he entered northern Syria using the overnight road vehicle.Deep down in his heart, Sheldon felt like dying as soon as he set foot on Syrian soil.Because he had entered the country illegally, the vehicle dragged him away to avoid the city, and Sheldon was immediately shocked because of this desolate country.There were deserts, hills, and decaying towns and villages in this country which was heavily damaged and in a disastrous state.The endless deserts and mountainous terrains immediately reminded him of an ancient poem, ‘The Solitary Smoke in the Desert’.After traveling hundreds of kilometers deep into the Syrian border, Sheldon had a realization deep down in his heart. He realized that if Charlie refused to agree to
