Serena was taken aback when Charlie rejected her proposal so easily.
As someone who was rarely rejected, Serena couldn’t help but express her displeasure.
“Mr. Wade, I don’t know how you came into possession of the Mystic Harmony Sect’s treasure, but I’m quite sure it
wasn’t through legitimate means.”
Charlie sneered in response, “Miss Gray, you’re jumping to conclusions without knowing the full story.
It’s a bit self-centered of you.
If I acquired it through legitimate means, you could ask your Master and he would tell you.”
Master Vail quickly interjected, “Serena, don’t be rude to Mr. Wade.
I gave him the medicine cauldron voluntarily, and the method was fair and above board.”
Serena was outraged by her Master’s admission.
“Master, the medicine cauldron belongs to the Mystic Harmony Sect.
You’re only holding it in trust for us.
What right do you have to give it away? Your duty is to preserve the teachings of the ancient saints of Mystic
Harmony Sect, not to dispose of its resources!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaster Vail felt a pang of shame as his senior disciple’s righteous words hit him like a slap in the face.
Deep down, he knew that he had brought this upon himself.
He had plotted to lure Dr.
Simmon into taking the bait with medicine, but he never anticipated that Charlie would come into the picture and
ruin his scheme, leaving him with no choice but to pay with a medicine cauldron.
What’s more, he realized that Serena was right, he was only one of thirty-nine heads of the Mystic Harmony Sect
and had no right to give away their property without authorization. But he was also powerless in this matter.
He had cheated first and was caught red-handed by Charlie. If he didn’t give him the medicine cauldron, his
decades of cultivation would be ruined.
He had assumed that Serena was ignorant of the head of the sect’s actions as long as he didn’t disclose them to
her, and he could fool her.
But he hadn’t counted on his Master’s love for Serena, who had informed her of the matter long before. Now, he
had no way to justify himself.
In a moment of desperation, Master Vail came clean to Serena.
“Serena, when I came to Aurous Hill as a teacher, I was searching for an alchemy expert for advice.
But in my greed and desire to cause trouble, I ended up offending Mr. Wade.
As a teacher, I’m deeply ashamed, and the only way to make amends was to give him the cauldron voluntarily.”
Serena furrowed her brows and was about to inquire further when Master Vail interjected, “You’re right, Serena.
I’m not qualified to give away the Mystic Harmony Sect’s treasure.
I’ve made countless mistakes, and I’m solely to blame.
I’m an eternal sinner of Mystic Harmony Sect!”
Serena was angry and demanded, “Master, how does calling yourself a sinner solve the problem? The real issue at
hand is the serious loss you’ve caused the Mystic Harmony Sect.
What are you going to do about it?”
Then she turned to Charlie and asked, “Mr. Wade, since my Master has admitted his mistake, I won’t argue with you
over the ownership of the cauldron anymore.
I just want to know, how much would you be willing to sell it for?”
Charlie’s smile remained unbroken as he replied, “Miss Gray, as I said before, even if you were to lay out all your
father’s assets in front of me, I wouldn’t agree.”
Serena furrowed her brows, thinking to herself, “This Wade guy probably has no idea just how wealthy my father is.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a second-tier city like Aurous Hill, billions of dollars are probably the ceiling, but my father’s assets exceed 20
billion US dollars!”
With this in mind, she retorted, “Mr. Wade, I’m not here to chit-chat.
If you sell me the medicine cauldron, I can offer you a very generous sum of money.
The payment will ensure that you never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life!”
Charlie responded with a smile, “Miss Gray, you can try to name a price and we’ll see just how generous it is.”
Serena looked at him arrogantly and declared, “If you give me the medicine cauldron, I can pay you 100 million US
dollars on the spot!”
Serena believed that 100 million US dollars was an enormous amount of money, one that most people would never
dream of possessing.
Her offer was genuine, and she expected Charlie to take it seriously.
But when Charlie heard her proposal, he merely smiled and responded, “I didn’t expect Miss Gray to be so
generous.”
Serena remained stoic and said, “My offer is only valid for this morning.
If you want to strike a deal at this price, please bring the medicine cauldron as soon as possible.”
