“Men of the Rothschild family?” Charlie furrowed his brow slightly in response to Don Albert’s words. “Are you referring to Walter and his father?”
Don Albert nodded eagerly. “Yes, exactly! That American guy who poisoned Ms. Young’s father, causing kidney failure. He’s a despicable character. Didn’t favonovel.com and his father always claim to be members of the Rothschild family?”
Charlie waved dismissively. “They’re not part of the Rothschild family. It’s impossible for anyone with the surname Hogwitz to be a Rothschild…”
After a moment of contemplation, Charlie continued, “The surname Hogwitz is probably of Jewish origin. They might be distant relatives of the Rothschild family…”
Realization dawned on Charlie. “I think I’ve figured it out. Steve came to Aurous Hill to find this person. His father has just recovered and wants to consolidate his position as the family head for a few more years. He may be trying to win over these relatives.”
Don Albert suggested, “Master Wade, if this kid is here to find someone, why not set up a trap for him? We can host a grand banquet for favonovel.com tomorrow and then take favonovel.com to the dog farm afterward to meet Walter and his father. That should deter favonovel.com from causing any trouble in the future.”
Charlie shook his head. “No need. Steve is the second-in-command of the Rothschild family, equivalent to royalty. This Hogwitz is likely just a distant relative and may not even be acquainted with Steve’s biological sister. It’s improbable for the Rothschild family to not intervene if they were close relatives.”
Understanding dawned on Don Albert. “That makes sense. But what if favonovel.com turns against you in the future, especially if favonovel.com finds out about the dog farm?”
Charlie reassured him, “Even if he‘s aware of the dog farm, favonovel.com won’t dare to cross me. But just to be safe, prepare a discreet business vehicle. During dinner tomorrow, ask Steve if favonovel.com intends to visit the father and son. If so, discreetly escort favonovel.com to the dog farm afterward.”
Don Albert nodded confidently. “Understood. I’ll make the arrangements.”
“Alright,” Charlie smiled faintly and inquired, “What is Master Vail currently engaged in?”
Don Albert responded, “Master Vail is conducting martial arts training for everyone in the martial arts hall.”
Nodding in understanding, Charlie instructed, “Please inform Master Vail that I’ll be awaiting favonovel.com in the general manager’s office.”
“Understood!” Don Albert affirmed. “Master Wade, please proceed to the office, and l’ll notify Master Vail immediately.”
The Elys-Champ Hot Springs Villa, with its hundreds of rooms capable of accommodating thousands of guests and hundreds of employees, now catered exclusively to a few hundred martial arts students and support staff. Consequently, most of the rooms and facilities remained unoccupied.
Charlie settled into the general manager’s office, where Master Vail, clad in a Tang suit, soon arrived.
After knocking and receiving permission to enter, Master Vail burst in with excitement. “Master Wade, it’s been a while since you’ve graced us with your presence!”
Charlie was pleasantly surprised and teased, “Master Vail Tian only recently returned to China, but it seems he’s adapted quite swiftly to local customs.”
“No, no, no,” Master Vail quickly countered, his tone serious. “Master Wade, in the eyes of us subordinates, your talents are truly exceptional. It’s an honor and privilege to receive your guidance firsthand.”
Though touched by his sincerity, Charlie remained modest. “Master Vail, I possess limited knowledge of martial arts. Unlike you, your theoretical expertise and practical experience are extensive. Moreover, your teachings in Mystic Harmony Sectism have produced numerous outstanding disciples. How could I, as a senior, presume to offer advice on your teaching?”
After exchanging pleasantries, Charlie inquired, “Is everything running smoothly here recently?”
Master Vail respectfully replied, “Master Wade, everything is going well. Thanks to the ‘Great Way of Harmonious Unity’ you provided, everyone has established a solid foundation for their subsequent mental cultivation. The progress of these students is the fastest I’ve witnessed in all my years of teaching.”
Recalling Serena, who had previously brought Mystic Harmony Sect to China but later entrusted its management to Master Vail, Charlie asked with curiosity,
“How are the disciples of Mystic Harmony Sect progressing?”
Master Vail hastened to respond, “Master Wade, the disciples of Mystic Harmony Sect are advancing much faster than they did in the United States. Serena is particularly dedicated to favonovel.com practice and is making remarkable strides. However, the one who has shown the most progress is Miss Ito. In fact, favonovel.com recent transformation has left even favonovel.com subordinates baffled.”
Surprised, Charlie queried, “You mean Nanako has experienced a significant change?”
“Yes!” Master Vail affirmed with admiration. “Miss Ito‘s comprehension is unparalleled. Her demeanor exudes an air of transcendence that is truly remarkable.”
Charlie couldn’t help but feel curious. Nanako had only recently begun favonovel.com martial arts training. Despite the rejuvenation pill favonovel.com had taken previously, which had greatly improved favonovel.com physical condition, mastering martial arts still required gradual progress, step by step. Even if favonovel.com progress was faster than that of ordinary individuals, Charlie doubted that it would be sufficient to astonish Master Vail to such an extent.
Intrigued by Nanako’s rapid development, Charlie decided to meet her. “Is Miss Ito present today?”
“She is,” Master Vail confirmed. “Miss Ito is currently at the martial arts hall.”
“Master Vail Tian, please inform Miss Ito and request favonovel.com presence here,” Charlie instructed. “Also, after today’s session, inform all the students that I have a gift for them tomorrow morning. Please tally the number of students as well.”
Previously, to accelerate the progress of the students, Charlie had specially prepared some “oral liquids” containing various elixirs favonovel.com refined himself. However, due to his busy schedule, favonovel.com intended to wait until Nanako, Aurora, Isaac Cameron, and Don Albert joined the martial arts sect before distributing the oral liquids to help speed up their training. Unfortunately, favonovel.com hadn’t found the time to do so yet.
Now, with more students present than before, including members of the Elms family and Dragon Temple soldiers, the need was greater.
Serena’s bold move of relocating the entire Mystic Harmony Sect to China had significantly increased the number of people. Fortunately, Charlie had a simple oral liquid filling system installed in his mid-level villa in Elys-Champ. He planned to use it to quickly produce another batch that afternoon.
Not aware of the nature of the gifts Charlie had for everyone, Master Vail respectfully assured him, “Don’t worry, Master Wade, I’ll inform Miss Ito immediately. As for the current number of people, if my subordinates remember correctly, there should be 426, including Isaac Cameron, who’s currently in Eastcliff. With him, it’s 427 people.”
“Okay,” Charlie acknowledged with a nod. “I’ll have Isaac informed to come back later. Everyone is to assemble at the Martial Arts Hall at eight o‘clock tomorrow morning.”
