Once it was time to leave port, every berthed vessel promptly weighed anchor and steered out to sea, all of them bound for the South Pole.Even if every vessel was bound for Antarctica, they were all taking different routes.Most research vessels traversed the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, and very few ships went to the Antarctic continent, where the climate was harsher. Therefore, after leaving the port and sailing just a few dozen nautical miles, all the ships changed vectors and spread out.In contrast, the Elliot was heading straight for Antartica, after which they would pick up the researchers from the Norwegian research bases around the islands before returning to Ushuaia. After that, everyone would be flying home, while the Elliot would spend another month at sea before reaching her home port.Still, as they arrived at the Drake Passage on the second day of their voyage, the infamous Roaring Forties lived up to their name; winds here typically reached

Barlin nodded. "In that case, I will take the north and the south."-While the three high elders eagerly left seclusion, it was dinner time at the Elliot.Captain Tracen had gathered everyone at the mess hall as asked, suggesting that he would introduce Charlie's group to them.No one found it suspicious, as it was a typical sailor tradition. Even for the research, since everyone was going to be stuck with each other for two weeks or so, getting to know each other would make life much easier.In fact, as Charlie's group just arrived at the mess hall, everyone aboard the Elliot was waiting in the mess hall.The Norwegian crew had stacked the ship's dining tables into a single long dining table over thirty feet long. Dishes—primarily Norway's specialty seafood including smoked salmon, various sausages, shrimp, and crab, were the main courses.Captain Tracen, still under Charlie's mind-bending influence, remained compliant and respectful, smiling at everyone as he called to the cr
Chapter 7641
Upon hearing Fleur's suggestion for them to leave in search of providence and natural treasures, the three elders naturally agreed to it without the slightest hesitation. Prolonged seclusion was a process of building momentum, but it also inevitably weakened over time. If one were to remain in seclusion until opening their pineal glands, time would pass in the blink of an eye amidst endless cultivation. However, being interrupted at the crucial moment made it extremely difficult to re-engage and regain that state of mind. And with Fleur having interrupted them before, going back to seclusion saw little progress. And they had grown increasingly impatient since. Fleur knew very well that if she were in their shoes, she would massacre a village to quell her frustration, after being interrupted just as she was about to open her pineal gland. Therefore, she decided to set the three elders loose, partly to help ease frustration, and partly to see if they might encounter providence.

Moreover, the three high elders had much to complain about their progress on unsealing their pineal glands. After all, they had mostly stayed in seclusion for a century, and if they had just gritted their teeth and persevered for another ten years or so, they might have opened their pineal glands one after another. And once they did, they'd live over 200, if not more.However, Fleur kept interrupting. As their enlightenment progress kept being set back for decades, catching up would take just as long and that was another few decades wasted.Still, Barlin was quick-witted enough to keep his mouth shut and his mind clear.He knelt on one knee and bowed his head, answering, "No, Lady Griffin—we will never presume to demand rewards for servitude. But you just need to say the word, and we will carry it out to the letter. We only humbly request that you grant us permission to leave the island and search for Vera Lavor!"The other two high elders quickly caught on—their minds must hav
Chapter 7639
Fleur was painfully aware that the Griffins' loyalty came with ulterior motives.It was her decision to keep them split into five different military governorates, like a feudal king would keep his five princes divided, governing five different principalities.But even if they were meant to be loyal to their father the king, they would still grow discontent with the king hoarding more power and wealth than the rest of them.That was why the five different military governorates might not be all that motivated to find Vera—from their point of view, they had no reason to care where Vera was, or if she was alive.Even if they were basically family to Fleur and owed everything they were to her, they knew full well that their comfortable lives were all thanks to the five governorates.Hence, even if Fleur died, they would still live like kings thanks to the governorates.In contrast, Fleur's being alive posed a threat because of how she ignored the consequences of her actions, and her w

Having no ingredients but only the recipe would be all the more troublesome—would she even be able to gather everything she needs? And even if she did, did she have the cultivation to cook the Infinite Pill?Every single question that they faced seemed to trim down Fleur's chance of success on every other turn, not to mention that the Qing Eliminating Society still had a mysterious enemy on their hands—a ticking time bomb that could blow up at any moment.Considering all those issues, Fleur actually wasn't sure she could live another five hundred years.The thought of the mysterious enemy left Feluer fuming, and she promptly summoned Tarlon Griffin, her most trusted confidante."How is the investigation in Morocco going?" She asked. "Any clues on where the dead soldiers and armed cavalry guards went?"Tarlon shook his head, pursing his lips in embarrassment. "I'm afraid not, Lady Griffin. I've even sent additional personnel, but none of them found anything—it's like the entire g

Charlie needs to read Elaine,his father-in-law and his wife the riot act. Claire don't care about him so she and her relatives need to know their place and stay in their lane
Wade, Wilson, White, Weaver, Webb
I dont understand why the parents have to live with them. They should have their own money and savings as grown adults from a supposedly good family but they are basically just shameless moochers and they steal money from Claire and Charlie on the regular. What kind of ass backwards culture is this?
yes Charlie shiw Elaine who’s the boss. hurry
most expensive book, changing my style of reading
Charlie your time to show Elaine is just around the corner
it's the MOST EXPENSIVE WAY EVER IN HISTORY TO READ A STORY
it's addictive and ruinous to my wallet
this book is too expensive and the story is completely redundant and unedited. 40.00 usd spent so far. I can guess the ending due to its redundancy.
Yeah I was enjoying this boom, but for how you have done, and no chapters over the weekend..: I’ll use up the coins I bought ($40 usd) and then delete this when I’m finished...: because all you have done is turned it into a money racket!!!
I think its a great book, but the downside is that its not completed and i dont like having to wait for the next chapter
this is pure cheating... why upload an incomplete book with chapters that are less than 400 words. the cost of this book is way over 20usd already
To be continued... ? I still have enough coins but... hate it??
I love this book I javent been able to put it down once I started. although the book isnt completed and more come it is just a minor inconvenience and cant wait for the rest. thank you for a great and intriguing book.
