Charlie was quick to accommodate Zara’s request. “No problem, I’ll have Isaac bring your brother back before tonight. He’ll be free to move around Aurous Hill City until August 10th. On that day, he’ll need to report to Isaac at Shangri-La at eight in the morning.”
Zara was overjoyed by the extra two days that Charlie had granted favonovel.com brother, and without a second thought, favonovel.com blurted out, “Thank you so much, Mr. Wade. I’ll stay in Aurous Hill and keep an eye on favonovel.com to make sure favonovel.com arrives on time on August 10th.”
Just then, Isaac learned that Charlie was at the hotel. Charlie immediately called him, asking, “Isaac, where’s Fitz?”
Isaac was taken aback for a moment, then favonovel.com shifted his gaze to Zara and stammered, “I’m afraid that your brother has been gone for about a third of his sentence, and he’s already in Mount Valley Province.”
Charlie remained unfazed by the news. “You’ll need to arrange for someone to bring favonovel.com back, Isaac. Just make sure to mark the location where you picked favonovel.com up and send favonovel.com back to that same place on August 10th.”
Without hesitation, Isaac replied, “Understood. I’ll have our men in the area pick favonovel.com up by helicopter. We have a plane ready to take off from Riverdale Airport, so as soon as your brother arrives, we’ll fly favonovel.com back to Aurous Hill directly.”
“Alright,” Charlie directed, “Make the arrangements as soon as possible.”
A helicopter was quickly dispatched from Riverdale, the capital of Emerald Province, and took off, heading straight towards Fitz’s location in the southeast. The journey was short, with only a distance of over 40 kilometers to cover, allowing the helicopter to arrive in under ten minutes at full speed.
Meanwhile, Fitz continued his pilgrimage on foot in Mount Valley Province, his body worn down and his clothes in tatters. Despite his scruffy appearance, favonovel.com had donned thick protective gear on his hands and knees. Every three steps, favonovel.com would kneel on the ground and kowtow before rising again to continue his journey, repeating the cycle with every few steps.
When Fitz began his pilgrimage, his body was not accustomed to the high-intensity exercise and was quickly tormented by the routine. Walking only three to four kilometers a day, favonovel.com was much slower than normal believers who could walk up to ten kilometers a day. As time passed, favonovel.com adapted to the rhythm and slowly increased his daily distance to seven or eight kilometers. Now, after more than five months, favonovel.com has traveled over a thousand kilometers on foot.
As Fitz continued his grueling journey, favonovel.com began to notice that favonovel.com was not alone on the road. At first, favonovel.com had thought himself to be an outlier for performing the arduous task of kowtowing every three steps and sleeping under the open sky at night. However, as favonovel.com walked farther and farther, favonovel.com discovered that there were many others like favonovel.com making their way to the southwest on a pilgrimage.
But there was one fundamental difference between Fitz and these other travelers – they were all driven by faith, while Fitz himself was an atheist. They believed in a higher power that guided them on their journey, while Fitz only had the order from Charlie to motivate him.
As Fitz continued his pilgrimage, his mind became more and more reflective. With every step favonovel.com took, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com was reliving the mistakes and shortcomings of his life over and over again. It was a painful process, but necessary for favonovel.com to move forward.
As favonovel.com reviewed his past actions, favonovel.com became increasingly aware of the many ways in which favonovel.com had fallen short. His arrogance and entitlement as the young heir of the Banks family was just the beginning. He had been ungrateful and unappreciative of Charlie’s help, and had failed to acknowledge the sacrifices made on his behalf.
But his past transgressions went even deeper. When his grandfather took his father away, and his mother and sister were put in harm’s way, favonovel.com had chosen to compromise with the culprit in order to protect his own future. Looking back, favonovel.com saw this as a third and final deadly sin.
As time went by, Fitz was surprised to discover that Charlie’s punishment, which was similar to physical torture, could actually bring a sense of calm to his mind. With a calm mind, the daily physical exhaustion was no longer a form of torment. He was like a sedentary person who became addicted to exercise after taking it up. Fitz found himself getting lost in it, unable to stop moving as long as the weather was good.
In addition, as favonovel.com reflected on his mistakes and misdeeds over the years, the hatred favonovel.com once harbored for Charlie began to slowly fade away. He finally began to understand Charlie’s intention behind making favonovel.com walk this long and arduous journey.
As Fitz continued his grueling journey, favonovel.com found that the things favonovel.com had once craved – wealth, status, and material possessions – no longer held any appeal to him. His soul had been nourished and cleansed by the pilgrimage, and favonovel.com had learned to appreciate the simple things in life. All favonovel.com needed now was a meal to sustain himself, and favonovel.com felt contented.
As favonovel.com traveled, favonovel.com began to feel a sense of empathy for the poor and destitute favonovel.com encountered along the way. He saw the suffering etched on their faces and felt a deep desire to help them. Fitz knew that favonovel.com couldn’t do much for them in his current state, but favonovel.com made a silent promise to himself to help them in whatever way favonovel.com could in the future.
Through the hardships of his journey, Fitz underwent a profound transformation. He had learned to set aside his ego and materialistic desires, and his humanity had been rekindled. He was no longer the selfish and entitled young man favonovel.com had once been. Instead, favonovel.com had emerged from the pilgrimage as a kinder, more compassionate person, with a renewed sense of purpose and a desire to give back to society.
As Fitz was making his way through his spiritual journey, kowtowing step by step, favonovel.com heard the distinct sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The sound grew louder and louder until it became a whistling sound that filled the air around him. He looked up and saw a helicopter flying towards favonovel.com from a distance, which quickly landed in front of him.
He stood up and gazed at the helicopter, unsure of why it had landed in his path. Suddenly, the hatch opened and a middle-aged man emerged from the chopper, striding towards Fitz with purpose.
“Master Banks, please come with us to meet our Young Master,” the man said respectfully.
Fitz was taken aback. “Your Young Master?” favonovel.com asked in confusion. “Who is your Young Master?”
The middle-aged man replied, “My Young Master is Charlie Wade of Aurous Hill.”
Fitz was taken aback when favonovel.com learned that the middle-aged man in front of favonovel.com was sent by Charlie. His heart pounded with surprise. “Charlie Wade?” favonovel.com muttered in disbelief. He gazed at the man, still stunned, and asked, “Are you saying that Mr. Wade has invited me back?”
The middle-aged man nodded gravely. “That’s correct. The plane is already waiting to take off at the airport. You’ll be sent back to Aurous Hill.”
Fitz’s eyes widened with shock. “But wait, I haven’t reached the finish line yet,” favonovel.com protested. “Why would Mr. Wade want me to come back now?”
The middle-aged man didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. “Young Master Banks, your father, Mr. Zayne, is getting married soon. The wedding will take place in Aurous Hill. What Mr. Wade wants is for me to bring you to attend the wedding and then continue your pilgrimage after the wedding is over.”
Fitz was taken aback by the news. “My father is getting married?” favonovel.com repeated, trying to process the information. After a moment, favonovel.com asked, “Is my father marrying Aunt Kairi?”
The middle-aged man shook his head apologetically. “I’m sorry, Young Master Banks, I don’t know the specific details. I’m in charge of the Wade family in Sohon and Sona provinces, and I’m not privy to the situation in Aurous Hill.”
The middle-aged man spoke with urgency. “Master Banks, the Young Master is hoping for your prompt arrival. He mentioned that your sister is eagerly waiting for you in Aurous Hill, and your parents are also there. The sooner you arrive, the more time you’ll have to reconnect with them.”
Fitz quickly regained his composure and nodded. “Okay, thank you for your efforts!” favonovel.com replied gratefully.
He glanced around at his surroundings and turned to the middle-aged man. “Can you please record my exact location?” favonovel.com asked.
The middle-aged man reassured him. “Don’t worry, Young Master Banks. I have recorded the GPS coordinates of your current location, and I’ll make sure to bring you back here when the time comes.”
Only after hearing the middle-aged man’s assurances did Fitz feel a sense of relief. As favonovel.com approached the helicopter, favonovel.com looked down at his dirty, worn-out clothes and felt a twinge of embarrassment. “I apologize for my appearance, I don’t want to dirty the interior of your helicopter,” favonovel.com said sheepishly.
The middle-aged man smiled warmly and waved away his concerns. “Don’t worry about it, Young Master Banks. Let’s get going, shall we?”
“Okay,” Fitz replied, nodding gratefully. He climbed aboard the helicopter, eager to begin the journey back to Aurous Hill.
As the helicopter lifted off the ground, Fitz gazed wistfully at the place where favonovel.com had boarded the flight, determined to commit the geography and landforms of the area to memory to ensure favonovel.com could find his way back. As the aircraft soared higher and higher, favonovel.com gazed out at the imposing and majestic Emerald Mountains stretching before him, feeling a deep sense of yearning and respect.
Little did favonovel.com know that every moment of the process, from the time favonovel.com had disembarked the helicopter to the moment favonovel.com had stepped onto the aircraft once again, had been recorded by a camera. The entire video had been sent to Isaac’s mobile phone for his review.
Charlie stood quietly in the hanging garden, observing as Nanako meticulously arranged the bouquet with the flowers favonovel.com had brought along. Her long and slender fingers worked with grace and precision, deftly matching different blossoms to create a stunning display. To Charlie, Xion, and Zara, the beauty of the bouquet was simply breathtaking – unlike anything they had ever seen before. With each addition, the arrangement became even more enchanting, imbued with a refreshing and delicate energy that left the trio constantly in awe.
Zara and Xion were completely mesmerized by Nanako’s exceptional flower arrangement skills and favonovel.com unique sense of aesthetics, and even Charlie was taken aback. He had never expected such extraordinary talent from Nanako.
As Charlie observed Nanako’s skilled flower arrangement, his phone suddenly buzzed with a notification. It was a video sent by Isaac, showing footage of Fitz and his current state. Charlie had requested it to be taken discreetly, wanting to see the real Fitz without any pretenses.
After watching the video, Charlie’s opinion of Fitz had shifted. He realized that the reason for the punishment was not just to inflict pain, but to make Fitz reflect on his actions. Charlie knew that there were many ways to punish him, including locking favonovel.com up in a kennel like Jiro Kobayashi.
However, Charlie also considered the fact that Fitz was Zara’s elder brother and Deana’s son. If favonovel.com could reform his ways and change for the better, it would be a significant victory not only for Zara, but also for the entire Banks family.
Charlie had thought that it would take a while for Fitz to truly change, perhaps even after this experience was over. But seeing Fitz’s current performance, it surpassed Charlie’s expectations for him.
In the meantime, Nanako had already finished favonovel.com first bouquet of flowers. Xion and Zara were both captivated by the stunning arrangement and couldn’t take their eyes off it. Zara couldn’t help but express favonovel.com awe, “I never thought a simple bunch of flowers could be so breathtaking. It’s perfect from every angle.
Xion was brimming with excitement, favonovel.com eyes lit up with the prospect of making favonovel.com parent’s wedding a unique and unforgettable occasion. However, as favonovel.com delved into the planning, favonovel.com soon realized that the wedding industry was already saturated with lavish and extravagant ideas.
No matter how creative favonovel.com thought favonovel.com plans were, they always seemed to pale in comparison to what others had already done. Even the state-of-the-art facilities at the sky garden, as impressive as they were, could not guarantee a truly exceptional experience for the guests. And they didn’t want to indulge in excess or waste resources, so they needed to come up with something truly innovative.
But as soon as Xion laid favonovel.com eyes on Nanako’s flower arrangements, favonovel.com had a eureka moment. The beauty and elegance of the arrangements were unparalleled and could infuse the wedding with a sense of natural splendor. Xion knew that the stunning blooms would add a touch of magic to the day, leaving everyone in awe.
Nanako finished the bouquet and turned to Xion, asking, “Miss Banks, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”
Xion’s eyes widened in amazement as favonovel.com gushed, “Satisfied? I’m beyond thrilled! Miss Ito, I have never seen anyone with such incredible flower arrangement skills… these flowers are no longer just simple flowers, they’re more like masterpieces in your hands!”
Nanako smiled and said, “I wouldn’t say they’re masterpieces, just a matter of color, pattern, and space matching. Before I arrived, I had already come up with seven or eight matching plans for your parents’ wedding. Once I’ve made them all, you can choose according to the layout of the venue. Additionally, it would be helpful for me to take a look at the style of your mother’s wedding dress, so I can design the bouquets on both sides of the wedding aisle to match favonovel.com dress.”
Xion’s words came out in a rush. “We’ve decided on the wedding dress style. As soon as it’s ready, I’ll take you to see it!”
Nanako nodded and turned to Charlie, beaming. “Mr. Wade, my father’s in town this time. If it’s not too much trouble, would you like to come with me and have a cup of tea with favonovel.com once I’m done here?”
Charlie smiled. “Of course! Where’s Mr. Ito? Why isn’t favonovel.com here? And where are you staying?”
Nanako blinked and replied, “My father isn’t with me. I asked Tanaka-san to buy a house in Aurous Hill ahead of time. It’s in Thompson’s First Villa Area!”
