The staggering auction price of 100 million can be attributed solely to Charlie’s strategic confrontation with Jack Yaleman, which drove the bidding up significantly.


    Even if there is a genuine shareholding involved, investing four or five million cannot possibly yield returns in the range of two to three billion. Therefore, Charlie granting himself a rejuvenation pill is indeed a remarkable favor.


    With this thought in mind, he quickly rose to his feet, approached Charlie, and knelt down, respectfully sping his fists. “Master Wade, your immense kindness is something I will never forget. Please allow me to express my gratitude next time!”


    Charlie helped him up with a single motion and smiled, saying, “Take the pill and store it away quickly. Among all the guests I’ve invited today, you are the only one possessing the Rejuvenation Pill, so I ask you to keep this a secret for me. If others find out, they might jump to conclusions.”


    Mr. Quinton nodded eagerly, assuring him, “Master Wade, you can count on me. I will not disclose this to anyone.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He then turned to Aurora and Steven, saying, “You both must listen closely—do not let even a whisper of the Rejuvenation Pill slip out, do you understand?!”


    Aurora and Steven responded in unison, “Understood!”


    With a proud demeanor, Quinton reiterated, “You must heed this warning. It’s crucial that you learn from this. Do you understand?”


    Steven, not daring to say a word against it, replied, “Second Uncle, I know! Don’t worry. If I ever let slip a single word about this to anyone, I’d deserve to be struck down by Master Wade’s thunder!”<fn1c36> This text is hosted at find~novel</fn1c36>


    Mr. Quinton, satisfied, remarked, “Master Wade, I have great respect for Aurora. You can be assured of my pride in this child. While she may have been a bit reckless in the past, she has shown great integrity this time—so you need not worry.”


    Charlie nodded and smiled, saying, “After you leave, Mr. Quinton, be sure to put the rejuvenation pill in the safest ce in your vi. As for me, I came early to provide Aurora with some additional guidance, so I won’t linger here.”


    Mr. Quinton replied promptly, “Of course, Master Wade!” He then turned to Aurora and instructed, “Aurora, please take Master Wade to the practice room.”


    Aurora felt a bit embarrassed. Once again, she quickly nodded and said, “Master Wade, please follow me to the practice room.”


    Charlie nodded and stood up, apanying Aurora to her practice room.


    Once they arrived, Aurora expressed her concerns to Charlie: “Master Wade, I’ve been practicing diligentlytely, but I feel that my overall progress is extremely slow. It’s almost as if I’m struggling to make any significant advancements. Is it possible that the pill you gave me earlier is so powerful that I can’t improve my strength through regr practice anymore?”


    Charlie smiled slightly and exined, “The Sanda fighting skills you’ve been practicing are akin to a five-year-old child trying to learn basketball. The pill has given you the abilities of an NBA yer overnight. If you continue practicing basketball as if you were a five-year-old, you won’t see significant improvements in your overall strength. In fact, it would be a tremendous waste of your newfound abilities.”


    Aurora nodded in understanding and eximed, “I’ve felt that way tootely! It seems like continuing with Sanda fighting skills is a bit wasteful given my current capabilities, but I’m unsure what else I could practice apart from these skills.”


    Charlie nodded and smiled, saying, “That’s precisely why I came here early today. I intend to guide you towards a new direction in your martial arts journey!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
