Chapter 5720

Author: Lord Leaf
Charlie instantly felt that the situation was turning around when he saw that the three elders’ plane had turned around. Although he was at a clear disadvantage when facing the Qing Eliminating Society, he had repeatedly emerged victorious in several encounters with them.

At present, the Qing Eliminating Society had not only lost an entire dead soldier base and three great earls, but more importantly, his strategy to present a bold front and conceal his weakness had begun to make Fleur wary.

Charlie had speculated on Fleur’s inner thoughts. Although he had never met her, he could sense several key traits of this woman. She was naturally suspicious and extremely cautious.

If she weren't naturally suspicious, she would never have employed nepotism, with the core of the Qing Eliminating Society being controlled entirely by the Griffins. If she weren't extremely cautious, she wouldn't have been constantly hiding her identity out of fear that outsiders would find out about her.

    Charlie glanced at the time. It wasn't even noon yet, so he said, “Yesterday's battle was really exhausting. Now that Fleur has withdrawn the three elders back to the Qing Eliminating Society's headquarters, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. I'll have a good rest at home in the afternoon first and then go see my grandparents in the evening.”Vera agreed as she chimed in and said, “Young Master, you have truly been through a lot from last night until now. You should really rest well.”She then added in a soft voice, “In that case, I won't disturb your rest anymore, Young Master. When you finish handling your matters at hand, feel free to contact me anytime if you still want to see me.”Charlie said, “I'll go to Champs Elys hot spring villa to see my grandparents first tonight. Later, I'll bring some pills with me and visit Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. Since I promised those three old gentlemen today to give them an opportunity, I can't let them wait too long, especially so for Mr. San

    Charlie did not know that the moment the ring delivered him to Vera, he had unconsciously ruined the girl's chastity.For a girl born in ancient times, if a man saw her naked body or had such intimate actions with her, apart from marrying him, she was basically only left with the path of dying to prove her innocence. Therefore, Charlie had no clue that Vera had already decided that she would not marry anyone else in this lifetime.Moreover, he had no idea that Vera, who was born in ancient times, had a completely opposite view of marriage compared to now. In Vera’s opinion, having multiple wives and concubines was just a normal thing for a man. She could accept being Charlie’s concubine and even respectfully address Claire as her elder sister. Meanwhile, Charlie had just relaxed, and he felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue instantly engulfing his body and mind.Although his cultivation level had recovered and the Reiki in his body had been replenished, he still felt incredibl

    The three of them were already quite dissatisfied when their cultivation in seclusion was interrupted when they were just one step away from activating their pineal gland. They thought that they would get more rewards after successfully carrying out such an important mission. However, after being taken by Tarlon for a spin at an altitude of ten thousand meters, they ended up doing nothing and were brought back to the headquarters again. Fleur's current state of mind was even more shattered than that of the three elders.In the past few hours, she had been unable to control her scattered thoughts. At one moment, she even thought of personally going to Aurous Hill to see who exactly had dared to issue a warning to her through this painting. However, this idea only existed in her mind for a moment before she completely dismissed it. Her cautious nature destined her not to take risks. The riskiest thing she had ever done in her life was to take action against Elijah after he rejecte

    Fleur clenched her teeth and said, “How is that possible?! If he had any connection with Ashley and Curtis, he wouldn't have just stood by when Mr. Chardon attacked them twenty years ago!”Tarlon furrowed his brows and said, “Well, British Lord, you make a valid point. I feel that there are many strange aspects to this matter with countless possibilities, but each one seems to have some unexplainable elements…”As he thought about this, Tarlon pondered for a long time, then looked at Fleur and asked, “British Lord, do you think there might be another possibility?”Fleur replied, “Speak up!”Tarlon hurriedly said, “British Lord, I think it's possible that the other party may not actually have any connection to your master. It's also possible that he just happened to come across that painting and learned about your identity from Miss Dijo or Vera by chance. He is deliberately using this painting to intimidate you because he knows that you’re Marcius’ disciple! Think about it. If the

    Tarlon was so frightened by Fleur’s gaze that he trembled all over, hastily dropping to his knees as he banged his forehead heavily on the ground, expressing intense fear and horror, “I deserve to die! I beg for your forgiveness, British Lord!”Fleur snorted coldly and scolded, “From now on, if you utter one more word, you can go back to Linix and guard our ancestral tomb!”The Griffins’ ancestral tomb was located in Linix.However, for the Griffin family members in the Qing Eliminating Society, if the British Lord ordered him to return to Linix to guard the ancestral tomb, it was tantamount to being exiled in ancient times. Once they went, they could only spend the rest of their lives there.Tarlon was extremely panicked. He slapped himself fiercely twice, continuously groveling and crying out, “I am guilty! I am guilty! Thank you for your forgiveness, British Lord!”Fleur ignored him and said lightly, “Go and make the arrangements as I’ve instructed!”“Understood, British Lord!

    With that thought in mind, Fleur’s thoughts instantly wandered back to the year 1650, which was more than three hundred years ago.There was an inaccessible and forbidden place on Mount Tason. There were no residents at all within a hundred miles, and the reason was that there had been a bizarre miasma here since hundreds of years ago. The miasma lingered without dispersing, and anyone who entered would suffer from headaches, nausea, and disorientation. No matter which direction they went, they would eventually end up outside the miasma. Moreover, those who inhaled the miasma would suffer from severe headaches and nausea for several months, enduring extreme suffering. Some foolhardy individuals were even determined to explore the center of the miasma, and they ended up dying inside.As a result, over time, the people around the mountain kept their distance from this place and considered it an absolutely forbidden place.However, these people did not know that the center of this

    So, the two followed Marcius into his stone chamber. Marcius pointed to two cushions in front of him and said to them, “Sit down.”When the two saw this, they sat with their legs crossed in front of him respectfully. Marcius then spoke up and said, “Although our fate is shallow, we are still master and disciples, after all. You both harbor the ambition to resist the Qing army, and as a fellow Oskian, I hope you can persevere in this cause and restore the glory of Oskia…”With that said, he took out two pills from his pocket and placed them on the stone table in front of the two. He then said calmly, “These two pills are the Eternal Pills that I mentioned to you before. Taking these pills can extend your lifespan to five hundred years. With these pills, I hope you can fulfill the cause of eliminating the Qing army.”Fleur was thrilled to hear that the pills in front of her were actually the Eternal Pill that could grant five hundred years of life. She thanked Marcius repeatedly, sa

    “My destiny is not enough?!” When Fleur heard these words, she frowned and blurted out, “Master, what do you mean by 'my destiny is not enough'?”Marcius replied calmly, “You have not been on the path of cultivation long enough. There are many things that cultivators need to understand that you still do not comprehend. In the future, when you understand the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, you will realize that people have various destinies, and destiny is the key to everything.”Fleur was surprised and asked, “Master, what is destiny?”Marcius explained, “Destiny is the foundation of a person. The specific destiny could be represented by heavenly stems, earthly branches, birds, or animals. Most people's destinies are represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches. Even the king was at best a polar fate going against fate, but in order to go against one’s destiny, one would need to have at least the fate of the tiger or python.”“Furthermore, there are higher destinies l

    Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

    Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

    As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

    Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

    Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

    Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

    Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use

    Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

    Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
