As soon as Charlie Wade regained consciousness, he woke up immediately.


    Though the out-of-body experience felt prolonged, it had actuallysted only a brief moment.


    In a state of panic, Charlie Wade quickly retrieved the wooden box, ensuring there was nothing left in the secretpartment. He promptly ced the stone lion back inside, securing it within the hidden space.


    Meanwhile, the Zhou family manor was still buzzing with excitement.


    Charlie then dashed back, leaping downstairs and climbing through the window into the room where Hank and the others were gathered.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Steve and Royce, father and son, were left speechless.


    While they had not been surprised by Charlie Wade jumping out of the window, his sudden entrance through the windowpletely shattered their expectations.


    Upon returning to the room, Charlie Wade noticed the terrified expressions of Steve and Royce. He instructed Hank, “Tell them to turn around, and you do the same. Anyone who dares to nce back will face severe consequences.”


    Hank responded immediately, “Understood, sir!”


    Steve, nearly beside himself, said submissively, “Mr. Wade… we’re all partners now. There’s no need to suspect us so much… I understand that what you brought back must be an incredible treasure, and I promise I won’t say a word to anyone. You don’t need to keep Hank’s gun pointed at us…”


    Charlie asked, “Are you trying to instruct me on how to handle this?”


    Steve, terrified, quickly waved his hands, saying, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare…”


    After that, he swiftly turned his face away, too frightened to look again.


    Charlie Wade opened the wooden box and gazed at the square treasure pir inside. He couldn’t help but exim, “This treasure pir looks exactly like the one my consciousness entered just now. Could it be that this is where my spirit ventured?”


    With that thought, Charlie reached out and carefully lifted the Sifang Baozhu.


    The main structure of this treasure pir was crafted from gold. Although itcked the opulence of those typically used for sacred relics, it radiated an undeniable majesty.


    Having just experienced an out-of-body moment, Charlie Wade understood that the Sifang Baozhu was not merely a magical artifact. It represented the spiritual energy and efforts of countless cultivators, capable of safeguarding the world and the nation. Although it would achieve its maximum potential only in conjunction with the original Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the entireyout of Chang’an City, it remained a rare and valuable Feng Shui treasure.


    The Rothschild family’s two-century prosperity must be closely tied to the Sifang Baozhu.


    For a moment, Charlie Wade contemted keeping the square treasure pir for himself, considering the immense wisdom of the sages who crafted it. Perhaps he could uncover deeper secrets of cultivation from it.


    However, in the next instant, he dismissed that notion.


    The Sifang Baozhu was originally created by the sages for the benefit of China; it was not meant for any single individual to possess. Such selfishness was uneptable.


    Thus, he gently returned the Sifang Baozhu to its ce. He chose not to take the photocopied version of “The Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra” thaty beneath it; after all, this was not the right moment for study.


    With the items secured, Charlie Wade began to devise his next n.<fn33df> Follow current nov?ls on Find1Novel</fn33df>


    If Howard allows Royce to go directly to Canada, he can transport the Sifang Baozhu out of the United States. Once in Canada, it would be significantly easier to bring it back to China. After the


    Sifang Baozhu returns to China, he can coborate with Lin Wan’er (ni)’s adopted son, Sun Zhidong (Meir), to hand it over to the Chinese authorities. At that point, his mission will be deemedplete.
