Chapter 6839
In the video, Penny's office was exactly how it was arranged at the moment, and her face was contorted in rage as she snapped, "I won't rest until I kill Fleur Griffin or she kills me!"Everything from her facial expression, eye movement, and mannerisms was completely alike—even her voice was synthesized so perfectly through deep learning that even her parents wouldn't have been able to notice the difference.After all, the AI module had the capacity to serve over millions of people all at once, but all that processing power was now under Charlie's disposal alone. The synthesized pixels were naturally infinitely better than the usual AI processing normal civilians could access, and there wouldn't be any flaws even if someone zoomed in on it.Penny paled just watching the video, her legs shaking as she looked up at Charlie in disbelief and demanded, "W-What is this?! I never said such things!"Seeing her panicked reaction, Charlie chuckled. "It's a video synthesized with your facial
Chapter 6838
Penny really couldn't argue against that, and she immediately became furious and tense, seeing how Charlie completely dismissed her as a threat.Her tone was suddenly a lot less confident than earlier, and she was barely able to hide her nerves as she asked, "Then, what do you want from me?"Charlie shrugged. "Like I said, you're more useful to me alive, so you'd better start cooperating. Otherwise, I won't just kill you—I will fool Fleur into believing that you defected. Can't blame me if she massacres your family in retaliation."Penny gritted her teeth. "Never make things personal! Or were you never taught such basic honor?!"Charlie snorted. "'Never make things personal', you say? Look around you—the dead soldiers and the armed cavalry guards' families are right here in these mines with them! Or maybe you think the Qing Eliminating Society wasn't making it personal when they threatened their family's lives in exchange for their loyalty?"No. You're nothing short of an accompli

Smack!The slap seemed to resound in Penny's office, leaving a palm print over her forehead—an amusing image considering her haughty visage and fair skin.Seeing her wince in pain, Charlie shook his head and teased, "Oh, you really aren't the type to hold back, huh?"Penny was left gritting her teeth in pain, but she soon stared at her palm in disbelief as she realized she wasn't dead.On top of that, her palm was swelling—her fair, dainty palm was suddenly swollen like a pig's legs, although her fingers remained slender.Even as she remained utterly confused, she mused out loud, "What… How?! I used at least ten percent of my full strength. Why am I still alive?!"That was when she tried to direct her Reiki… and realized that every single meridian in her body was sealed.She couldn't muster her Reiki at all, meaning she was basically crippled!As she looked up at Charlie, her eyes were filled with shock. "Y-You sealed my cultivation?!""Yes," Charlie replied, nodding quietly.
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
Chapter 6835
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
