Astonished, Porter asked, "Mr. Wade… Did you just say Ms. Singer reached the Transformation Realm at the age of sixteen?!"Charlie nodded. "Yes, and then she attained enlightenment at twenty-two. Her talent is the type you find once in a lifetime."Porter felt his stomach churn, and he also felt embarrassed. When he had led the charge up Mount Wintry, he had felt like he had the world at his feet, and he was just an eight-star warrior then. That was still a far cry from the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, where his mentor, Pilos Kent, had stayed stuck for thirty years, unable to break through to the Dark Realm!And yet, this unassuming, delicate maiden before him had reached the Transformation Realm at the age of sixteen!Forget improving through the Illuminating Realm, the Dark Realm, the Transformation Realm, and the Master Realm! Just breaking through to the Dark Realm was already a mountain to climb! What kind of genius did it actually take to shoot up to
Chapter 6859
As night fell, multiple semis from the logistics company that Merlin had bought quietly drove into the Duca Mines compound.Each semi had arrived from Casablanca within ten minutes of each other. The families of the dead soldiers were already waiting, and they boarded according to their assigned orders.Due to the tight deadline and with so much on the line, everyone had to make do with squeezing themselves into those containers. Still, fortunately for them, the journey wasn't long, taking just two hours at most.Porter Waldron arrived at Duca Mines on the first semi, saluting Charlie when he saw him. "Mr. Wade! All arrangements are in place at the cannery, and our men heading over tonight are ready to receive the evacuees."Charlie nodded. "Is there enough food and other necessities to cater for everyone?""Absolutely," Porter said. "Inspector Lammy was very thorough, asking us to purchase more food from Casablanca before we came, and we've also made sure to select a quiet locati

Arlo grunted noncommittally before hanging up.While Penny was left staring at the phone and biting her lip in silence, Charlie suddenly said, "Your governor is telling you to return and await further orders… That means he's not leaving his post anytime soon."Penny began tentatively, "Well, he's busy…""Busy, my ass," Charlie snorted in disdain. "He's just playing chaperone to the Three Elders in Nigeria."Penny exclaimed in surprise, "H-How did you know?!"Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "I just know, and that it's Fleur's plan to have the Three Elders ambush me in Nigeria. Though I'm sure she never expected me to come here instead of going to Nigeria."Penny couldn't help thinking highly of Charlie's abilities.Even Penny herself didn't have the clearance to that information, and Arlo was breaking a rule telling her about it.Naturally, she was also aware that Arlo was giving her special treatment to get in her good graces. She had certainly been keen to return the favor so t

It was a rule for any collateral branch individuals not to return to their families. In the end, the Qing Eliminating Society was basically ancient nobles—anyone not bearing the Griffin name would be made to serve, and they naturally had neither freedom nor holidays.And when they became a part of the family and learned even a single family secret, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.Still, giving Penny a vacation was as much a special treatment as a risk. If she caused any trouble while at home or affected the Qing Eliminating Society negatively, Arlo would be held responsible.Despite her outstanding talent, she was still just a young girl in her twenties. After being away from her family for two years, it was only natural that she might be homesick, but she wouldn't even dream of returning home.Indeed, Penny would have been overjoyed before, but she was now endlessly miserable and certainly not thrilled.She was never getting away from Charlie's clutches, and there was no tel

The mining machinery was working in full capacity, while trucks loaded with hundreds of tons of raw phosphate were moving back and forth across the mines and the refinery, kicking up a cloud of white dust across the barren lands of the mines.Even Charlie couldn't help feeling a tinge of sadness watching the trucks that were as tall as three-floor buildings. If he had had them in Syria to help with construction and logistics at Ten Thousand Armies' base, they might have been twice as effective, even moving mountains.Still, he could only make a mental note to buy a few since each of those trucks was going to be torched, and he was not taking anything away.Beside him, Penny looked like she had lost all her will to live.She wasn't just afraid to flee from Charlie, just as she hated the idea of leaving with him.If the Qing Eliminating Society presumed that she had turned, that she had been abducted or murdered, her family would lose their greatest hope and wouldn't have another ch
Chapter 6855
That was why Arlo had really taken good care of Penny over the last two years, appointing her as praetor and training her however he could, while also affording her family special treatment.In fact, Arlo had even decided to arrange a marriage between Penny's half-sister, who was three years younger than Penny herself, to his youngest son, further binding the Singers to the Griffins.Furthermore, he had made clear to his own branch family that they must all treat any Singer wife with respect and not take a mistress while being married—a privilege afforded to the Griffins until now. Before this, if a Griffin was dissatisfied with their wife, they could just take a mistress from the collateral families after three years while still having one wife. Higher-ranked Griffins may even take two mistresses, while Arlo, a governor, was afforded three mistresses at once. After all, if the number of Griffins increased without control, even the collateral families would have trouble keeping t
