After some time, Charlie experienced a sudden surge of energy coursing through his body, invigorating all his senses, bones, and blood.


    It was Reiki!


    Upon examining the stone once more, Charlie noticed that it appeared to be absorbing all the spiritual energy, rendering it indistinguishable from an ordinary, lifeless stone.


    He attempted to use the cultivation method outlined in the “Apocalyptic Book,” but he found that he could no longer extract the Reiki from the stone.


    Feeling disheartened, he returned the stone to his pocket. Deep down, he sensed that the stone held great significance, yet he had no means to investigate it further. It seemed he needed to refine his skills before he could work with the stone again.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hastily, he decided to take a bath, as he felt sticky from the excessive sweating. By the time he finished, it was already past 5 PM when ire called him.


    On the phone, ire informed Charlie that she was currently in a meeting with the Emgrand Group discussing project details. Due to the road space rationing restrictions, she hadn’t driven that day and asked if Charlie could pick her up at the Emgrand Group in her father’s BMW 530.


    Charlie readily agreed to help his wife. He requested the car key from Jacob and drove directly to the Emgrand Group.


    As soon as he arrived at thepany’s main entrance, he took out his phone to call ire. However, she didn’t pick up; instead, she sent him a quick text: “Charlie, I’m still in the meeting with the project team. Please wait for me downstairs for a bit. Thank you.”


    “Alright, I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Charlie replied, stepping out of the car to smoke while he waited.


    At that moment, Doris, the vice-chairman of the Emgrand Group, called him, asking, “Mr. Wade, are you at thepany?”


    Curious, Charlie replied, “How do you know?”


    “I’m in my office, and I saw your car.”


    Charlie instinctively looked up and smiled, asking, “Is there something you’d like to discuss with me?”


    “Yes, actually. Since your wife is still in a meeting and it may take some time, I’d like to know if you have a moment. I want to update you on thepany’s recent developments.”


    Charlie considered her words. He realized he hadn’t been involved with thepany recently. As the chairman, it was important for him to stay informed about thepany’s affairs, so he replied, “Sure, I’lle up right away.”


    “Please head directly to your office; I’ll meet you there.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, Charlie walked into the building, took the elevator, and headed straight to the chairman’s office on the top floor.


    As he stepped out of the elevator and made his way toward his office, a door suddenly swung open behind him.


    It was Loreen, who was on her way to the restroom when she unexpectedly encountered a familiar figure just outside her office.


    She didn’t initially recognize Charlie but sensed that he bore a striking resemnce to the mysterious man from the video!


    Could he be the chairman she had longed to meet? Had he finally arrived at the office?


    Loreen felt a rush of excitement!


    After all, her primary reason foring to Aurous Hill and the Emgrand Group was to connect with the enigmatic chairman and, ideally, be hispanion. If she seeded, she could elevate the entire Thomas family to new heights.


    This mission was not only crucial for her family but also a source of sustenance for her ambitions.<fnaa88> The source of th?s content is FindN()vel</fnaa88>


    However, Loreen was feeling frustrated; despite working there for several days, she hadn’t yetid eyes on the chairman. How could she advance if she hadn’t even met the man?


    So when she finally caught a glimpse of him, her joy was palpable!


    Determined, she quickly jogged after him, eager to catch up and introduce herself!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
