Chapter 6836
Nervous, Penny took a step back as she asked warily, "Who… are you?"Charlie chuckled. "The name's Wade. Charlie Wade. The one whom your Society has been trying to hunt down, even setting an elaborate trap in Nigeria for me.""W-What…" Penny stammered, flustered. "Why would you tell me that?!"Charlie chuckled again. "You asked, didn't you?""I… You…" Penny was wheezing, her gaze fearful as she muttered, "I mean, you didn't have to be so… straightforward? Are you planning to kill me… that's why you're so upfront…"Charlie chuckled. "Oh, you're quite smart, aren't you?"Penny turned as pale as a sheet.She was just twenty-four and had gained enlightenment a couple of years ago, and was actually afraid to die as she had just become the only beacon of hope her family had after centuries. But since Charlie was being so honest, she knew that he wasn't going to let her live!Forcing herself to stay calm, she snarled at him through her teeth, "Whatever! None of this matters—I have d

Charlie's playful question left Penny momentarily stunned.She didn't actually recognize his face, but she had presumed from his uniform that he was just another one of the armed cavalry guards stationed here in Duca Mines.With her supervising these mines, there was no way some interloper would just waltz into her office.As such, she was stupefied that an armed cavalry guard had the nerve to speak to her with such disrespect!Clearly insulted, she glared at Charlie in cold fury as her Reiki levitated her sword and launched it straight for his neck."You should be honored to die by my sword," she gloated flatly, even as she presumed Charlie's imminent death.Charlie simply chuckled as he watched the sword come hurtling straight at him, unfazed. "It's good to be confident, but overconfidence always inevitably backfires."Even the average warrior would have trouble dealing with this sword that was infused with Reiki, but it was no threat to Charlie.While Penny looked on, waitin
Chapter 6834
Penny was aware of the power that the Qing Eliminating Society and Fleur wielded.On top of that, her family had indoctrinated her enough so that she was afraid to even harbor thoughts of rebellion. It was beaten into her mind that the single path to change her family's fortunes for the better was to keep improving her cultivation and rise to prominence within the Society.Indeed, if Fleur acknowledged her, her family would surely be afforded favorable treatment, and perhaps they would cease to be treated as a stable providing breeding mares.With such tremendous weight on her shoulders, Penny had grown to be fiercely loyal to the Qing Eliminating Society, yearning to garner further merit and accolades for herself. As such, she considered the Right Military Governor's decision to entrust her with overseeing the transition as a sign of growing trust in her.In her mind, if she accomplished this task flawlessly, the Right Military Governor would see it fit to entrust her with more

Penny's full name was Penny Singer. Though she was just 24, she was also the first cultivator in her family in centuries, and therefore, also their greatest hope in all that time.After all, their fate had been tied to the Griffins, prospering or suffering as they did. It just so happened that after one of their daughters married into the Griffin family and bore them children, Fleur had asked the Griffins to rein in any collateral families and keep them permanently under their control, even as the Qing Eliminating Society rose to power.Naturally, her method for control was simple: poison.As long as the collateral branches remained loyal to the Griffins, they would receive a steady supply of the antidote along with wealth and prestige. However, insubordination would be punished swiftly with the death of the entire collateral family.Fleur's own motive was that her family and their secrets would only increase as long as she lived, and she couldn't just let them fall to decline.

Chapter 6832
Despite seeing how confident Charlie was, Roy felt a little nervous and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what are your plans for the praetor? I don't have a gauge for how powerful she truly is, but just give the order, and I will gather my best men to kill her!"Charlie shook his head. "Actually, I have some use for her since she's a high-ranking official in the Right Military Governor's Office. I can't just kill her off for nothing... By the way, what's the command structure like in your Armed Cavalry Guard garrison?"Roy responded, "The Armed Cavalry Guards are divided into three battalions—nine companies and twenty-seven squads, and there's always a commanding officer and his deputy on each level."Of the three companies, the First is responsible for mining operations, the Second is in charge of processing the refinery, and the Third, logistics and security. The men you saw on the loading platform where you arrived are from the Third, and the others in the battalion are working overt
Chapter 6831
Charlie then asked, "The transition is supposed to separate you from your families and comrades, I believe?""Yes," Roy nodded. "It's as sinister as it is treacherous. I'm sure Lady Griffin was worried that armed cavalry guards like us might defect, so she's holding our families hostage. We would have to fight to the death or do something noteworthy for her cause just so that we can see each other again, and it would certainly keep everyone in line and prevent any rebellion.""Hmm…" Charlie mused and asked, "Did the plans for the transition include the dead soldiers?"Roy shook his head again. "I'm not sure. The Praetor claimed that the current transition only applied to the armed cavalry guards, since it would be difficult with the dead soldiers outnumbering us by a country mile."Then, looking at Charlie nervously but hopefully, he once again pleaded, "I'm sorry, but again, I must ask you to save us! We will serve as long as we draw breath once you free us from the evil clutches
