Although there were undercurrents in the Middle East, in Aurous Hill everything was as calm as usual.
After the wedding of Zayne and Kairi, the guests from the Banks Family who had attended the wedding
left one by one.
Mr. Banks reluctantly flew back to Madagascar, while Fitz was planning to return to the southwest to
continue his pilgrimage.
As for Zayne, since he had decided to settle down in Aurous Hill, he temporarily lived in the Elms
family’s villa after getting married.
He was also looking for a suitable house in Aurous Hill with Kairi now that he had regained his
freedom.
Maria had not stepped out of her courtyard in the Zilian Villa where she hid from the world.
She spent most of her time painting, aside from eating, tasting tea, and reading.
She had even asked Michelle to buy a wooden table specifically for painting, which she had placed in
the living room on the first floor.
At this moment, a pair of ink paintings, with a height of eighteen feet, had taken shape on the table.
In the paintings, there were mountains and an alpine lake nestled in the middle of the mountains.
The lake was surrounded by thousands of mountains, giving it a peaceful and serene appearance.
With a paintbrush in hand, Maria painted meticulously on the canvas, outlining a big tree with luxuriant
branches and leaves on the hillside next to the alpine lake.
At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted Maria’s painting.
Marius Cross, standing outside, spoke respectfully, “Miss, I have something important to report!”
Maria frowned slightly, put down her brush, and walked towards the door slowly.
When she opened it, she saw Mr. Cross with a nervous expression on his face.
She asked him curiously, “What’s happened? Why are you so panicked?”
Mr. Cross replied cautiously, “Miss, this old servant should come inside to speak.”
Maria nodded, and let him enter the courtyard.
Mr. Cross closed the door tremblingly and whispered, “Miss, I just received a report.
Something big has happened!”
Maria looked surprised and asked, “What’s the big deal?”
Mr. Cross explained in a low voice, “I heard that the four Marshals of the Warriors Den have left the
mountain.
This is an unprecedented move!”
Maria furrowed her brow and murmured, “I suppose they’re after me and my father’s ring.”
Marius nodded eagerly and said, “I think so too…”
Maria asked him, “Is the news reliable?”
“Yes,” Marius confirmed.
“There’s been a lot of activity in the Warriors Den, and anyone in a higher position basically knows
about it.”
Maria let out a scoff, her frustration apparent as she exclaimed, “I left them a note, telling them that the
ring is no longer in my possession.
Why didn’t they just restrain me? This is only going to escalate.
Maybe they need to find Charlie next to me with the ring.”
Mr. Cross nodded in agreement, “It’s entirely possible.
As you said, Mr. Wade is a capable man.
Not only can he cure the poison of the Cavalry guards, but he can also bring them under his command.
This must be a serious concern for the Warriors Den, and they will undoubtedly do their utmost to
investigate.”
Turning to Maria, he asked, “Miss, do you want to find a way to inform Mr. Wade and ensure he pays
closer attention?”
Maria flashed a small, carefree smile and spoke nonchalantly, “Don’t worry about them.
The more they mobilize, the more it proves they have no real knowledge.
The world is vast, and there are countless things for them to investigate.
It’ll be impossible for them to find Aurous Hill anytime soon.”
Mr. Cross shifted nervously, “Miss, I heard you’re planning to attend college.
Isn’t that a bit unsafe?”
Maria’s expression turned serious, “There’s nothing unsafe about it.
Let them try their hardest, but even if a group of people spent a year thinking, they’d never imagine that
after almost being caught by them, I didn’t flee to some remote mountain or old forest.
No, instead, I came to Aurous Hill to attend university.
It’s quite a surprise.”
Mr. Cross let out a heavy sigh and spoke with great respect, “Miss, please forgive me for speaking too
much.
While escaping to Zilian Villa may be a good choice, going to school means meeting a lot of people all
at once.
Even though they’re all college students, increasing your exposure still poses a risk.”
Maria nodded, “I understand the risks, but I have nothing else to do at the moment.
With the resources and strength I have, competing with the Warriors Den is just a dream.
I don’t want to hide away forever.
The only chance to change the status quo is to join forces with Wade.
If I don’t attend university, I’m afraid I won’t have the opportunity to cooperate with him.
So, even though it’s a bit risky, I’m willing to give it a try.”
Mr. Cross spoke with trepidation, “Forgive this old servant’s blindness.
I had no idea you had already thought this through…”
Maria waved her hand, “Marius, everything in life carries a risk.
What I must do is choose to take risks for a better future.
If I die in the process, so be it.
As long as Charlie can protect my father’s ring and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Warriors
Den, I will be satisfied.”
Mr. Cross nodded slightly and spoke respectfully, “Miss, this old servant understands.
I won’t bother you any longer.”

At the same time…
Meanwhile, Charlie received a call from Xyla.
As soon as the call connected, Xyla spoke in a hushed tone, “Master Wade, Master Vail just reported to
my grandfather.”
Charlie’s interest was piqued.
“Really? So, the old boy made a breakthrough? How’s his attitude?”
Xyla’s voice grew awkward.
“Well, he has a good attitude… But he insists on coming to the clinic to help my grandfather.
We don’t really have a use for him here.
I’m just sitting in the store right now…”
Charlie grinned, “No worries.
Let him sit tight, I’ll swing by later.”
Xyla sounded grateful, “Thank you so much for your help with this matter, Master Wade.
If it weren’t for you, my grandpa’s reputation would have been ruined by that Hong guy.”
Charlie replied nonchalantly, “It was nothing.
Don’t be so polite.
If you encounter anything you can’t solve in the future, just let me know as soon as possible.”
After getting off the phone with Xyla, Charlie gathered his things and drove over to Dr.
Simmons’ clinic.
Inside the clinic, Dr.
Simmons was taking Xyla to see patients while the clerks dispensed medication for those who had
already been diagnosed.
“Boy, put down the scale and let this poor old Taoist help you grab the medicine!” Master Vail declared.
The clerk grumbled in dissatisfaction, “I won’t let you take over.
What if you grab the wrong medicine?”
Master Vail retorted angrily, “Oh, your petty words! Don’t you understand the importance of respecting
your elders? Since Master Wade asked me to come here and report to Miracle Doctor Simmons, I can’t
just sit around.
At least find me something to do! I’ll help you get the medicine while you take a break.
It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”
“Cut it,” the man sneered.
“You think you’re so pious, but I’m not giving it to you.
Go ahead, hit me if you have the guts.
Let’s see if Master Wade will come to your rescue!”
Master Vail’s face flushed with anger, but he didn’t dare make a real move against the young
troublemaker.
Instead, he spoke resentfully, “Listen, kid.
How about we make things easier for each other? I’ll take you on as a registered student, and you’ll
definitely benefit from it in the future!”
The guy just curled his lip and replied, “Who wants to be your registered disciple? Do you want me to
learn how to steal and cheat from you?”
Master Vail was so angry that he couldn’t even speak.
Charlie chose that moment to interject with a joke, “Hey, Master Vail.
You don’t look too happy!”
