Charlie is brimming with hope for what lies ahead, yet he remains vignt and cautious.


    While Wanlong Pce boasts significant strength, it is only robust in the context of the known world. There are likely powerful adversaries lurking in the shadows, far beyond the capabilities of Wanlong Pce.


    As a result, Charlie believes that moving forward, he must not only enhance his own abilities but also elevate the strength of the entire Wanlong Pce in a steady progression.


    Abbas, understanding Charlie’s nature, responded respectfully: “Mr. Wade, rest assured! Your subordinates will never becent due to the strength of either themselves or Wanlong Pce. A strong position can foster a sense of underestimating the enemy!”


    Charlie nodded in approval and replied casually: “If you maintain this mindset, I have increased expectations for the future of Wanlong Pce!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With that, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s have the brothers line up to receive their drinks!”


    “Absolutely!” Abbas eximed, his excitement evident. He quickly stepped outside and called out to the over 100 elite members of Wanlong Hall gathered in the courtyard: “Brothers, Mr. Wade has prepared a special wine for you! Come celebrate; trust me, this wine is worth a thousand dors to each of you! It’s a fantastic opportunity!”


    After making this announcement, he added, “Everyone! Start from the first row and line up from left to right to get your drink. Remember, don’t spill a single drop, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”


    This left everyone puzzled.


    They couldn’t fathom what kind of wine could be valued at thousands of dors, and why spilling even a drop would lead to lifelong regret.


    Nheless, they didn’t dismiss Abbas’s words. They understood that Charlie was an extraordinary expert, and even Abbas, the pce master, revered him. Thus, the wine he offered was surely extraordinary.<fn99fd> This update is avable on find·novel</fn99fd>


    As a result, everyone stood tall, and starting from the first row, they lined up one by one to receive a ss of liquor, each holding about forty to fifty milliliters, directly from Charlie.


    Abbas specifically instructed everyone to refrain from drinking until Charlie gave the signal.


    True to the disciplined nature of Wanlong Pce, every soldier who received a ss held their arms parallel to the ground, creating a 90-degree angle, carefully cradling the sses without a hint of carelessness.


    In a disy of humility, Charlie, rather than adopting an air of superiority as the Lord of Wanlong Pce, personally handed out the wine sses to each soldier.


    This gesture deeply impressed the soldiers of Wanlong Pce; such treatment was unprecedented, even from Abbas.


    Just as Charlie handed a ss to one soldier and bent down to retrieve another, he was surprised to find that the individual standing before him was none other than Xion, the illegitimate daughter of the Banks family and an old acquaintance!


    Xion gazed at him with warmth in her eyes and a shy smile. Biting her soft cherry lips, she nervously said, “Hello, Mr. Wade…”


    Charlie, taken aback, asked, “Xion, what brings you here?”


    Previously, Xion had been pursued by the Chinese detective Li Yalin in New York. To prevent her capture, Charlie had instructed Abbas to facilitate her escape from the United States by boat, with ns to transfer her to Cuba before heading back to China.


    Charlie hadn’t anticipated running into Xion in this setting.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
