As the golden rays of the sun broke over the eastern horizon in the early morning, Charlie Wade’s ne touched down at Aurous Hill Airport, facing the dawn.
At that moment, he was unaware that Steve Rothschild, all the way across the ocean in the United States, was eagerly nning to visit him in China.
The moment the ne came to a halt, Charlie Wade was quick to reach out to Lin Wan’er (ni).
As the call connected, Lin Wan’er (ni)’s sweet voice chimed in: “Master, why are you calling the ve family so early?”
Charlie Wade chuckled and replied, “Miss Lin, I’ve justnded in Aurous Hill. I was wondering if it might be a good time for me to visit you at the vi in Zijin.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Lin Wan’er (ni) responded with a brightugh, “The ve family has prepared some snacks and is about to brew some tea. If the young master doesn’t mind, you’re wee to join me for a bite.”
“Just give me half an hour,” Charlie Wade said with a smile.
At the hangar, Don Albert was ready with a vehicle, waiting for Charlie Wade as he disembarked from the ne.
“Master Wade!”
Charlie Wade nodded respectfully and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for picking me up, Don Albert.”
“It’s my pleasure, Master Wade,” Don Albert replied respectfully, opening the rear door. “Please, get in the car.”
Charlie Wade settled into the vehicle, and Don Albert drove them out of the airport, heading toward the city.
During the ride, Charlie Wade inquired, “How have things been going at the Champs Elyseestely?”
Don Albert responded, “Everything is going well, Master Wade. The martial arts training is progressing smoothly, and we’ve been taking good care of your grandmother. Aurous Hill has been quite peacefultely.”
“That’s good to hear,” Charlie Wade nodded, then asked, “What about your own martial arts progress?”
“Well, it’s… not bad…” Don Albert chuckled at himself. “It seems Ick natural talent in martial arts. Although I’ve made some progress, I still have a long way to go. The other day, you asked Mr. Isaac to go to Yan’an to take over the duties of Butler Stephen Thompson. He hasn’t been back in a while, but I hope to surpass him in martial arts soon.”
Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Don’t rush your martial arts training. Many have trained diligently for years before truly mastering it. You’re just starting, so it’s normal for your progress to be gradual.”
Don Albert replied with a grin, “I’vee to terms with that, Master Wade. I realize I’m a bit older, and startingte makes it unrealistic to expect high achievements. Regardless, I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn and practice. If I can improve, that’s great; if not, at least it’s good for my health.”
Charlie Wade nodded in agreement, “That’s a wise mindset to have.”
As they spoke, Charlie Wade suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, Don Albert, have you heard any news about Butler Stephen Thompson from Isaac recently?”
Don Albert shook his head and replied, “As for Master Wade, since you appointed me to seed Mr. Isaac and act as the agent of the Wade family in Aurous Hill and the entire province, I’ve been in frequent contact with other agents. Unfortunately, no one has any updates on Butler Stephen Thompson.”
Charlie Wade sighed slightly, “It seems he won’t be making an appearance for a while.”
Curious, Don Albert asked, “Master Wade, where do you think Butler Stephen Thompson has gone? He was always loyal to the Wade family—why would he leave without a word?”<fnf171> Original content can be found at find·novel</fnf171>
Charlie Wade answered, “I can’t say for sure. However, from what I know of him, I believe he is fundamentally a good person. He wouldn’t harm me or the Wade family. There must be a reason for his sudden departure. If the time is right, we may eventually hear from him.”
As he pondered this, Charlie Wade found himself lost in thought.
Previously, he had always regarded Stephen Thompson as someone who worked for his father.
