Charlie waved his hand dismissively and flashed a grin. “Miss Gray, anyone who wants this medicine cauldron has to start with a price tag of ten billion dollars, and I want the money upfront. Capital verification comes first, so if you don’t have ten billion dollars in cash, don’t bother asking.”
Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s demand. “Ten billion dollars? Mr. Wade, do you think money grows on trees? Do you even know how much ten billion dollars is?”
Charlie’s smile didn’t falter as favonovel.com replied, “Of course I do. In fact, ten billion dollars is just the starting price. You need to have ten billion dollars upfront for us to even discuss the matter. As for the final amount, there is no upper limit.”
Serena thought Charlie was being intentionally difficult and lashed out at him, “Mr. Wade, I’m trying to do business with you in good faith. Is it really necessary for you to make things so difficult?”
Charlie raised his hands in surrender and replied, “Since Miss Gray thinks I’m being difficult for no reason, let’s just end this discussion. I kindly ask that you not bring up the matter of the medicinal cauldron again.”
Serena was taken aback by Charlie’s refusal to sell favonovel.com the medicine cauldron.
She was used to getting what favonovel.com wanted, given favonovel.com wealthy background and status in the Mystic Harmony Sect. Even the dogs raised by the sect wouldn’t dare to snarl at her, let alone stare favonovel.com down. But Charlie was a different story altogether, and favonovel.com found it hard to accept his rejection.
Frustrated, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Wade, why won’t you sell me the medicine cauldron?”
Charlie took note of favonovel.com lack of social experience and decided to give favonovel.com a taste of reality.
He scanned favonovel.com up and down, wearing a flirtatious smile as favonovel.com replied, “How could I have the audacity to ask for your money, Miss Gray? As a beautiful woman, you should have the medicine cauldron. I won’t ask for any payment, but I do hope that you’ll owe me a favor in return.”
Serena noticed the provocation in Charlie’s eyes and surmised that favonovel.com was intentionally teasing her.
She grew more guarded, favonovel.com expression turning frigid as favonovel.com retorted, “Mr. Wade, I appreciate your generosity, but I don’t owe anyone any favors. Just give me a price.”
Charlie had anticipated favonovel.com response and playfully pursed his lips before saying, “Oh, Miss Gray, you talk too much.”
“I always say what I mean,” Serena declared haughtily.
Charlie narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving into a sly smile. “You’ll soon find out if I’m all talk or not.”
“What do you mean?” Serena asked, favonovel.com frown deepening.
Charlie’s smile widened. “Why don’t you let me read your palm and find out?”
“What?” Serena snapped, “I didn’t expect you to be such a sleaze, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie flashed a charming smile and reassured Serena, “Miss Gray, you misunderstood me. I’m not trying to take advantage of you. I just want to verify if you really never owe anyone any favors or if it’s just empty words.”
Serena snorted coldly and gritted favonovel.com teeth. “I, Serena, never boast about anything.”
Charlie nodded in understanding. “Then, Miss Gray, please stretch out your hand. You’ll have your answer in a minute.”
Serena was fuming with anger as favonovel.com extended favonovel.com hand towards Charlie, muttering under favonovel.com breath, “Let’s see what kind of trick you’re up to.”
Charlie took Serena’s hand and gently held favonovel.com soft, slender palm.
“Your skin is so well-maintained, Miss Gray. Your little hands feel slippery,” favonovel.com remarked jokingly.
Serena tried to pull favonovel.com hand away, but to favonovel.com surprise, Charlie’s grip was firm, and favonovel.com couldn’t move.
Just as Serena was about to panic, Charlie gave favonovel.com a sly grin and offered, “I’ll give you a chance…”
He then channeled his reiki into Serena’s slender palm. The powerful energy coursed through favonovel.com body, and in an instant, it opened up all three meridians that were previously blocked.
Serena felt an overwhelming rush of power flow through favonovel.com body, and before favonovel.com could scream out in pain, favonovel.com sensed the force rush towards favonovel.com meridians and dantian.
Suddenly, favonovel.com spiritual platform seemed to clear up, and favonovel.com felt a new level of perception that favonovel.com had never experienced before.
She muttered to herself in shock, “Why are my meridians so clear now?”
Charlie beamed with a smile and exclaimed, “Congratulations, Miss Gray! You’re now a Martial Artist in the Light realm!”
“What?!”
Both Serena and Master Vail were left stunned by the revelation.
Serena’s mind was blown away by the realization that favonovel.com had just achieved favonovel.com lifelong goal of reaching the Light Realm in an instant. She had never even imagined that it could happen so quickly.
Meanwhile, Master Vail was horrified by Charlie’s power. He had known that Charlie was formidable, but favonovel.com had never suspected that favonovel.com could seal four meridians with such ease, let alone unseal Serena’s blocked ones in a flash.
Overwhelmed by favonovel.com new status, Serena was too caught up in favonovel.com excitement to question the sudden turn of events. But in a shocking twist, Charlie used his reiki to quickly re-seal the three meridians favonovel.com had just opened up.
He looked at Serena with a playful grin and said, “Oops, my bad, Miss Gray. I really wanted to give you a chance, but then I remembered you said earlier that you don’t owe anyone any favors.”
Serena was stunned by Charlie’s sudden change of heart and protested, “But I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you!”
