Charlie asked, "You're trying to find your mother?""Yes!" Penny nodded repeatedly, but she soon quickly added, "Please don't misunderstand, Sir—I don't intend to travel there and find her right away. I will follow whatever you arrange."Charlie nodded. "If you properly cooperate and do what I ask, I can consider sending you to Oskia and help you find your mother."Penny was awash with gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Wade! I will definitely cooperate—whatever you need!"Charlie nodded again. "The leaders of the armed cavalry guards are waiting in the conference room. Join us, and we will draft the evacuation plan tonight.""Yes, Mr. Wade!" Penny promptly replied.-The leaders of the armed cavalry guards had been waiting in the conference room for a while after Roy summoned them.He didn't tell them about Charlie just yet, only briefing them on details regarding the Transition.Just hearing that left the leaders hanging their heads in despondence, utterly demoralized.They could c

Hearing what Penny said about the poison, Charlie quickly extended his Reiki to examine her body—sure enough, there was an atypical poison flowing in her veins, and it was identical to the one he had found in Ruby's body.He couldn't help but sigh, "Poisoning you even before she has met you? That sounds just like her."Pausing, he added, "Well, you're poisoned the same way the Four Earls were. I don't think I can counteract it right now, but I definitely can do it before you die."Penny frowned. "The Four Earls… were poisoned too?"Charlie nodded. "And it's not just poison. There's a ward embedded within their bodies that makes them no different from time bombs. If Fleur truly brings you in to train you personally, you'd likely end up no different."With that, he told Penny about the ward in Ruby's pineal gland, which left her gaping in disbelief. "L-Lady Griffin really did that?!"Charlie shrugged. "Do you think I have a reason to lie?"Penny shook her head, convinced right the

Pausing, Penny then continued, "Furthermore, most cultivators who gained enlightenment don't necessarily have the disposition to fully flourish. It takes great talent for anyone to even reach the Four Earls' level of mastery."Therefore, my family is nothing more than a tool for the Griffins to continue their lineage, and Lady Griffin herself has never shown us any respect. In fact, the reason I gained enlightenment when I was sixteen was because someone from the Griffin came to us, scouting for girls of marriageable age. He discovered that I had reached the Dark Realm and immediately reported it to the governor."The governor was shocked, too, since he had never met anyone who had reached the Dark Realm at sixteen before me, and he promptly reported the matter to Lady Griffin. It just so happened that she had been actively searching for individuals with the talent to gain enlightenment, or talented individuals who had already achieved enlightenment. She'd then recruit them to the Qi

It shocked Charlie to learn that Penny had reached the Transformation Realm at sixteen—it was likely that everyone in Ten Thousand Armies would be embarrassed if he told them.Porter Waldron was already supposedly a genius, but he had only reached the Dark Realm at twenty, and with Charlie's help, at that.If he had to cultivate on his own, reaching the Transformation Realm at forty would still be an extraordinary feat.However, Penny hadn't just reached the Dark Realm at sixteen—she had gained enlightenment when she was barely in her twenties! Even for Charlie, such raw talent and ability was something new entirely!He couldn't help but ask, "When you reached the Transformation Realm at sixteen… Were you being mentored, or was it just something you gained by chance?"Penny thought about it, but she soon shook her head. "Neither. All I had was this mental cultivation method, but it was the same one given to dead soldiers and armed cavalry guards of the Qing Eliminating Society."

Penny was silent for a moment and sighed, "Despite being a collateral family, our lineage basically only exists to produce breeding mares..."With that, she told Charlie about the history between the Singers and the Griffins.As it turned out, in order to keep the Qing Eliminating Society in the shadows, the Griffins had basically coerced their relatives into perpetuating their lineage—it was like nothing Charlie had ever known!Still, considering that an illustrious clan like the Griffins was cripplingly dependent on Fleur for survival while also having to keep the Qing Eliminating Society's important secrets under wraps, they really couldn't do much else aside from keeping their bloodline, even if it meant using people like tools.Furthermore, according to Penny, there were actually at least twenty collateral families like the Singers serving the Griffins, even as they flourished for centuries under Fleur's protection.Through those hundreds of years, with the dead soldiers and

Penny finally understood the situation at that point—Charlie far outclassed her, and even fleeing was delusional. While she couldn't understand how Charlie had fabricated a video of her in no time at all, she had a feeling that it would be taken for concrete evidence if it was ever released, and her family would be massacred in retaliation.As such, her only option was to do what Charlie asked and avoid bringing trouble to her family.Seeing that she was conceding, Charlie nodded and pocketed his phone. "Very well. But first of all, I have some questions. Tell me everything you know, and I won't get your family implicated, and I might even spare your life. Understand?"Penny nodded repeatedly, aggrieved yet submissive, "Yes, I understand..."Charlie asked, "What is your position in the Right Military Governor's Office? What do your duties include? And who do you report to?"Penny replied, "I'm one of the six Praetors working under the Right Military Governor's Office. While I do
