Chapter 5653
Author: Lord Leaf
Merlin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard Albert say that the shell fragments in his hand belonged to Charlie.

He muttered to himself, “Charlie’s belongings? Doesn't that mean he has met with a mishap?”

With that said, he quickly lowered his head to carefully examine the traces left by the explosion. By observing the direction of the explosion shockwave, he then found more fragments of the Tridacna on the ground.

His face turned pale, and he muttered, “Charlie’s belongings are so close to the center of the explosion. Doesn't that mean he was right in the line of fire when the explosion happened?!”

Upon hearing this, Albert’s eyes welled up with tears, and he burst into tears. He was in disbelief as he said to Merlin, “Chief Lammy, Master Wade is incredibly powerful. This kind of explosion shouldn't harm him at all, right?”

Merlin squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of hardened black soil, rubbed it forcefully, and then sniffed it. He had a worried expression as h

    Isaac did not say anything but instead held his cell phone screen in front of her.When Rosalie saw the words on the phone screen, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. The words on the screen read: ‘Young Master is in trouble. Please keep it quiet and help gather the Harkers to search for clues together!’Rosalie did not speak but nodded heavily. Soon, more than ten Harker family members hurriedly gathered, boarded a helicopter, and flew back to the scene of the incident.When Rosalie saw the horrifying scene at the scene, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart, and her tears were uncontrollable. However, she wiped away her tears and searched for clues on the periphery of the circular explosion area together with the Harker family members. The dozen or so people kept expanding their search range, even covering a radius of one kilometer from the explosion center, but they still found no traces related to Charlie at all.Not a single one of them uttered a single word from t

    From the moment he lost consciousness, Charlie had no idea how long he had been drifting in the void until finally, a faint light suddenly appeared before his eyes.At this moment, along with the faint light came intense pain and an extreme sense of weakness. This sense of weakness was so overwhelming that he could not even muster the strength to open his eyes.Soon, he felt that his body seemed to be enveloped in a warm sensation, and this warmth seemed to provide some relief to the intense pain all over him. He then discovered that the warm feeling was lifting him upward.Afterward, he heard a familiar voice exclaiming in his ear, “Charlie!” This call allowed Charlie’s vision to gradually return.When the weakened Charlie opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he was utterly stunned because he suddenly discovered that the beautiful girl soaking in the hot spring pool, revealing only part of her beautiful shoulders, was none other than the mysterious Vera!Charlie wa

    Charlie felt that his brain was completely exhausted, and he couldn't make sense of the logic at all. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Vera had used the name ‘Veron’ during her visit to Aurous Hill, but after meeting him, she referred to herself as ‘Vera’.Although there was only a slight difference between the names ‘Vera’ and ‘Veron’, the meaning was extraordinary for Charlie.He almost instantly felt a chill down his spine and weakly asked in shock, “No… Do… Do you remember me?”Vera nodded and struggled to hold the weak Charlie as she moved toward her bedroom. She said softly, “Charlie, you saved my life in Northern Europe. I’ll never forget that!” Charlie was extremely shocked. He muttered, “Why… Why can you still remember? Could it be… Could it be that you’re a cultivator as well?”Vera smiled shyly and said, “Charlie, I’m not a cultivator, but my body is a little special, so you can’t erase my memories…”After saying this, she felt the physical contact between

    Vera nodded and said, “I know a bit of everything, but just the basics.”Charlie could not help but sigh and say, “I brought many pills with me before I set off, but I’m left with nothing now…”After saying that, he remembered something and quickly asked Vera, “By the way, what is the date and time now?”Charlie did not know how long it had taken for him to suddenly appear here. If it only took him a short while, he still had time to rush home to destroy the letter that he had left behind for Claire. If a long time had passed, Claire might have already found out about his secret, then.When Vera saw that Charlie was extremely anxious, she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs just a few seconds before you appeared in the hot spring pool. It has only been a little more than half an hour since then.”Charlie finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Vera remembered something from his previous murmurings and suddenly said wit

    Upon hearing Vera’s explanation, Charlie subconsciously frowned and asked, “How is that possible? You must be lying to me.”“Why would I lie to you?” Vera said with certainty, “It’s absolutely true! I can swear on my life!” Charlie shook his head and spoke very seriously and earnestly, “I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I believe that this ring can indeed send people to others, but when the explosion happened just now, I wasn't thinking of you… I was thinking about my deceased parents…” With that said, Charlie continued murmuring, “It seems that an image of my wife flashed in my mind at the very end. If what you said is true, the ring should have sent me to my wife instead…”Vera pursed her lips and said with a hint of sadness, “Charlie, I’m not lying to you. I naturally know that you will not think of me in a moment of life and death. It’s just that my father was the one who left this ring to me. He wanted to see me the most before he died, so the ring sent him to me.”

    Vera giggled and said, “Coincidentally, I still have the very last piece of Pu’er tea left. I've been reluctant to drink it, and I have been waiting for the day when I can personally brew it for you to taste it. Charlie, please wait a moment!”Charlie hurriedly said, “Miss Lavor, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just pour me a glass of water.”Vera stood up and did not look back as she said, “The Pu’er tea that I saved is the best Pu'er tea in the world. Charlie, you will definitely regret it in the future if you don’t taste it.”After saying that, Vera added, “Moreover, I will start explaining everything that you’re curious about, starting from that piece of Pu’er tea.” Vera then quickly fetched her complete tea set and the piece of Pu'er tea she had always treasured without waiting for Charlie’s response.After returning to the bedside, Vera carefully lit the olive charcoal in the copper stove. While waiting for the water to boil, she opened the well-aged Pu'er tea with a

    “What… What did you say?!” Vera’s casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Pu’er Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?! Charlie couldn't believe Vera’s statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process. People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older. As one’s cultivation deepened, one’s lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should

    Charlie subconsciously asked Vera, “Did you paint this painting?”Vera nodded and said, “I painted this a few days ago. I painted it especially for you, Young Master.”Charlie could not help but feel amazed. He never expected Vera to have such extraordinary painting skills. Just a while ago, his father-in-law had mentioned an art exhibition organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he was struggling to find good works. If Charlie brought this painting there, it might cause a sensation among landscape painters nationwide!Vera suddenly grabbed Charlie’s right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with his. She then said with an expectant expression, “Young Master, dare I suggest taking you to witness its appearance three hundred years ago with your own eyes?”With that said, the ring, which had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Vera’s words and released a bit of Reiki directly toward both of their minds.In the next moment,

    Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

    As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess.

    Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

    Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

    Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

    Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

    Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

    "That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

    In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
