During my time in Cyprus, I was able to prepare the Wanpo Army to ambush the nearby defense guns ahead of time. However, here in Aurous Hill, I find myselfcking both the capability and the opportunity to do so.


    If the earl who dismantled the Qing Dynasty were to arrive in Aurous Hill, things could beplicated. If his intentions were solely focused on Lin Wan’er (ni), it might be manageable. But if he also aimed to threaten my grandparents and the rest of my family, it raises serious concerns about whether I could protect them.


    To make matters worse, being in Aurous Hill makes it challenging to establish an early warning system. If an adversary truly makes their way here, I might not be able to anticipate their arrival before they make their move.


    As I pondered these thoughts, a heavy weight settled on Charlie’s mind.

    For lunch, Charlie skipped eating entirely.


    After dinner, he dropped udia, Lisa, and Mrs. Lewis (Aunt Angie) off at their homes. Then, he drove to the riverside, found a parking spot, and spent the entire afternoon by the water.


    Seeing Lin Wan’er (ni) today instilled in Charlie a profound sense of urgency.


    It was a feeling of an impending threat.


    Yet, he remained at a loss for how to confront it.


    At six in the evening, Charlie headed to Aurous Hill University.


    Even though Mia (Liu Manqiong) had arrived at the campus by car, she chose to leave it behind. Before leaving, she had applied some special makeup.

    “Miss Mia, what would you like to eat tonight?” Charlie inquired.


    “I’d prefer something light,” Mia (Liu Manqiong) replied. “Sinceing to Aurous Hill, the food has been too spicy and salty for my taste…”<fnf76d> Checktest chapters at find?novel</fnf76d>


    After considering it for a moment, Charlie suggested, “If you want something lighter, how about trying Hong Kong-style cuisine?”


    He added, “That’s one downside of Chinese food; it’s hard to ensure uniform taste. The dishes that maintain consistency are usually pre-packaged or frozen.” Reflecting on this, he continued, “Why not go for Japanese food? As long as the ingredients are fresh, the vors should be fairly consistent.”


    “Sounds good, I’ll go with your rmendation,” Mia (Liu Manqiong) agreed without hesitation.


    Charlie then drove her to the entrance of a Japanese grocery store.


    As he opened the door and stepped inside, the bell hanging by the entrance chimed sweetly, momentarily surprising Charlie.


    In the midst of this situation, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
