He looked coldly at Charlie and dered, “I am the eighth-generation descendant of Xuanjitang. The name Xuanjitang resonates like thunder across Hong Kong Ind, the maind, and throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia. How can you, a mere imitation,pare to us? I suggest you keep your distance from Miss Fei before you expose your true self. If anything were to happen to Miss Fei’s feng shui fortune because of your worthless presence, you will bear the consequences!”


    At that moment, Charlie narrowed his eyes at Jack Yaleman II and asked with curiosity, “Mr. Yaleman II, are you connected to Xuanjitang? What is your rtion to Jack Yaleman?”


    Jack Yaleman II replied with an air of arrogance, “Jack Yaleman is my father! He’s renowned both domestically and internationally in the field of Feng Shui metaphysics, recognized as the top master! Countless high-profile figures on Hong Kong Ind admire him!”


    “Oh… I see now,” Charlie said with a slight smile. “Do you happen to know where Master Yaleman is at the moment?”


    Jack Yaleman II quickly gestured with his hands, saying, “My father left Hong Kong Indst year to seek out a unique location for retreat and practice.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “A retreat?” Charlie said with a yful smile. “Interestingly, I had an encounter with your father some time ago.”


    Jack Yaleman II was taken aback, “You’ve met my father?”


    “Yes,” Charlie replied with a smile, “it wasst year.”


    “Last year?!” Jack Yaleman II eximed. “Where did you meet him?”


    “In Aurous Hill,” Charlie stated nonchntly.


    Jack Yaleman II stared at Charlie in disbelief, eximing, “My father did go to Aurous Hillst year! He mentioned nning to attend an auction to bid for a rare Tridac. Did you meet him then?”


    “That’s correct,” Charlie confirmed, smiling. “Master Yaleman was indeed at the auction. I was quite impressed.”


    Jack Yaleman II felt a wave of anxiety wash over him. It wasn’t fear of Charlie, but rather concern about his father’s well-being. Shortly after his father visited Aurous Hill, he lost all contact. Jack had even hired someone to investigate in Aurous Hill, but there were no leads. To preserve Xuanjitang’s reputation, Jack Yaleman II had publicly stated that his father was in retreat, but he never stopped searching for his father. After all, the prestige of Xuanjitang relied heavily on Jack Yaleman’s stature. Wealthy individuals on Hong Kong Ind recognized the Xuanjitang brand primarily due to his father’s prowess.


    Dering that Jack Yaleman was merely retreating was a strategy to uphold Xuanjitang’s influence. If the people of Hong Kong Ind discovered that Jack Yaleman was missing, Xuanjitang’s reputation would surely plummet.


    With a hint of urgency, Jack Yaleman II asked Charlie, “Sir, where did youst see my father? What was he doing?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “Thest time I saw your father was at that auction. He seemed to be quite upset as he didn’t have enough funds to secure that m shell.”


    Jack Yaleman II’s expression shifted subtly. He recalled his father discussing the auction during a phone callst year. His father had been furious, iming that a young boy had outbid him for the trilobite at over 100 million, which left him feeling very frustrated. He had mentioned wanting to find a way to reim the m shell.


    But then, his father fell off the radar.


    Unable to contain his curiosity, Jack Yaleman II pressed on, “What happened next? Do you know what transpired after that?”


    Charlie smiled and said, “Iter heard that your father faced some trouble at a metaphysics conference. A master from the maind, during a confrontation, took advantage of your father’s tendency to show off, leading to a catastrophic oue.”<fn50d0> Latest content published on find?novel</fn50d0>
