As Charlie spoke, he casually remarked, “Oh, by the way, if I’m right, you must be one of the four Earls, correct? But now it’s actually the Three Earls. After tonight, we’ll be down to just Two Earls!”


    Willie’s face reflected a mixture of shock and awe as he sharply replied, “You mean Uncle Nakul died by your hand?! What?!”


    Charlie chuckled, saying, “I can’t say if it’s something to be proud of or not. I was too busy with business to travel to Cyprus and do the deed myself, so I had someone set up a few close-range defense guns, waiting for him to walk right into the trap.”


    With a smirk, Charlie continued, “His death was truly pathetic for someone of his stature. A grand earl, reduced to nothing but minced meat by artillery fire. It’s likely that the biggest piece left wouldn’t even be enough for you to chew on.”


    Willie’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “You’ve been against us all along, haven’t you? So, you were the one who saved An’s family in New York, right?!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie nced at him, then at the grieving An family, and replied tly, “Yes, that was me.”


    Thinking back to what Li Yalin had just mentioned, Willie pressed on, “So, you’re also the one who rescued Lin Wan’er (ni) in Northern Europe?!”


    “That’s correct,” Charlie smiled, adding, “I bet your hero is pretty upset since you didn’t manage to catch Lin Wan’er (ni), right?”


    Willie gritted his teeth and demanded, “Where is Lin Wan’er (ni)’s ring?!”


    In response, Charlie grinned, removed the glove from his right hand, and slowly raised his middle finger at Uncle Willie, revealing the ring that Lin Wan’er had given him perched on that very finger. At that moment,


    Charlie looked at Uncle Willie and curiously asked, “Is this what you were looking for, old dog?”


    Willie initially thought Charlie was merely taunting him with the gesture, but his eyes widened in shock when he saw the ring!


    Although he had never seen it in person, he had heard the English Lord describe it in great detail!


    The Lord had said that the ring was bronze in color, with a delicate shine and no decorative patterns. It measured about two centimeters wide and was the size of a typical adult male’s ring.


    All of these details matched perfectly with the ring now resting on Charlie’s hand.


    Moreover, since Li Yalin had previously mentioned Lin Wan’er (ni) and her ring, Willie deduced that this was the very treasure the British Lord had long coveted!


    The Lord had imed this ring concealed a profound mystery, one that, when unraveled, could not only enhance one’s abilities but also grant immortality.


    How to unlock this secret was known only to a select few, possibly even Lin Wan’er (ni) herself might be unaware.


    The Lord had repeatedly stated that whoever found this ring would be the number one hero in dismantling the Qing Dynasty. He promised to share all his knowledge and the mysteries of the ring with that person.


    Thus, for Uncle Willie, it mattered little if he managed to kill Bruce Wade’s son or even delivered Lin Wan’er (ni) directly to the Lord; retrieving this ring was far more critical.


    With this in mind, Willie said urgently, “Listen, boy! If you give me that ring, I’ll ensure that you and your family can depart this world painlessly. That’s the greatest mercy I can offer!”


    Charlie shot back, “Old dog, if you tell me everything about the Poqing meeting, I might find it in my heart to spare your life, which is the greatest kindness I can extend to you!”


    Willie’s face turned grim as he shouted, “You’re asking for death, boy!”<fnfa65> Newest update provided by FindN0vel</fnfa65>
