Chapter 7429

Author: Lord Leaf
Days after returning from the Maldives, Claire had been working late every night as she said, "Old projects have been piling up for far too long, and I must work overtime to catch up."

Charlie himself didn't suspect anything, and certainly had no idea that she was preparing to leave in a month.

And days later, Jacob and Elaine returned to Aurous Hill with a ton of shopping bags, having enjoyed every last second of their Dubai trip this time. Their hundreds and thousands of USD were also basica

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   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

    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 smiled. "Of course it's fine."With that, they each retired to their own cabins.-Meanwhile, on an island around 1900 miles away from Ushuaia.Fleur was sitting cross-legged in her own chambers, and before him were five gems of different sizes and shapes.She was using breathing techniques to absorb precious Reiki from each gem, until each gem was drained dry.The Griffins had gathered those gems from around the world, offering them to her as tribute.Over the past 300 years, she never stopped having the griffins search the world for mystic treasures and spirit stones.During the early years, they were gathering troves of ideal cultivation materials, helping her unseal her pineal gland and improving her cultivation—even forming her own private army of cultivators.But with the advent of modern technology, such treasures only became rarer. Nature's boons that already took millennia to grow before, were now not growing at all due to climate change and various modern dev

    After everyone moved onboard, Jon led Charlie's group on a tour around the ship to show them the amenities and to study the interior layout.It was a huge ship. Aside from the engine room and cargo hold at the bottom, there were over a dozen laboratories, a large mess hall, a library, a gym, and other shared facilities.Charlie's group then followed the captain to the crew quarters, which had over forty cabins that came in three types: single bed, double beds and four beds.Research staff were assigned double or single bed cabins, rooms, while all crew members except the captain and first mate stayed in four-bed cabins. The main mission of this Antarctic expedition was to transport supplies and researchers out of the research base, so the entire ship only had a crew of twenty—still less than thirty even with Charlie and his group of four.Both Charlie and Vera chose a single bed cabin, while Ruby and Penny, used to sharing, opted for a double bed cabin.Naturally, the cabins on

    There was a very small single bed on the left and right in this semi-open space.At this time, the inmates inside were resting. Some of them were lying on the bed, and some were sitting at the head of the bed talking to others. When the group of inmates heard the prison guard yelling, they slowly got

    When Charlie saw the Mexican driving the pickup truck into the dilapidated fishing village, he pretended to be curious and asked the young man in the passenger seat, “Hey buddy, aren’t we going to Ensenada? Why are we driving into this dilapidated fishing village?”The young man casually replied, “Ou

    Clarissa did not expect that Elaine would offer to go to the hospital with her instead of leaving.However, Clarissa was not going to head to the hospital. She simply wanted to come up with a suitable excuse so that she could tempt Elaine into taking the bait so that she could hurriedly slip away. So

    Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on th
