The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie smiled and said indifferently, "I heard that you came to Aurous Hill to find clues about the Rejuvenating Pill?"

After Caden heard this, his heart skipped a beat!

He finally came to a realization at the moment. 'It turns out that Master Wade has targeted me for a long time... I naively thought that I'd set up a trap for Anthony Simmons, but I didn't expect that I'd fall into Master Wade's trap instead!"

At the same time, he could not help but wonder, 'Not many people know about the fact that I came here for the Rejuvenating Pill aside from the people in the Acker family who were at the Acker family mansion that day and Quinn Golding who brought the Healing Pill to save Keith... Could it be that Charlie knows them?!"

As he thought of this, a thought suddenly came to Caden's mind. He instantly came to a realization and trembled as he said, "Master Wade... Could... Could it be that you're the one who refined the Rejuvenating Pill?!"

Charlie smiled. "You're pretty smart."

When Caden heard this, he bowed his head and said with great reverence, "I, Caden Howton, from the thirty-ninth generation of the Taoist Sect, pay my respect to you, Master!"

Charlie curled his lips and said, "I'm not a member of the Taoist Sect, let alone a Taoism master."

Caden was very surprised. "You... You're not from the Taoist Sect?! But... But the art of alchemy is the untold secret of the Taoist Sect! If you can refine a divine pill such as the Rejuvenating Pill, you must have a deep understanding of the Taoist Sect. How can you not be a member of the Taoist Sect?"

Charlie snorted. "Refining pills is not a patent of the Taoist Sect. Who says that only people from the Taoist Sect can refine them? What's more, even if you are a member of the Taoist Sect, is your alchemy reliable? If it's reliable, you would have been able to save Lord Acker that day, and I wouldn't have needed to offer my Healing Pill to save Lord Acker, right?"

Caden felt ashamed, lowered his head, and confessed, "Master Wade, you're right. I'm ignorant and narrow-minded. I didn't know that there is a higher and broader world outside of the Taoist Sect. I hope that you can pardon me, Master Wade..."

Charlie nodded. "Although you're not young anymore, your attitude of repenting and admitting your mistake is quite good."

Caden's old face flushed with embarrassment, but he could only say, "To err is human, and there is nothing better than if one can change after making a mistake. I'm a man with little education and talent, but I did not know any better and wanted to show off. If I still fail to show the right attitude now, how can you show mercy to me then, Master Wade?"

Charlie said with a smile, "Don't try to trick me now. I didn't say that I would show you mercy."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Caden

nodded repeatedly and said

.n

respectfully; "I didn't have foresight and provoked you first, Master Wade so I dare not be dissatisfied in the slightest no matter how you want to punish me..."

Charlie smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Okay, you're quite eloquent but the next step is to look at the actual action. Where is the medicine cauldron that you used to place the bet? Take it out."

Caden was stunned. He was really struggling at the moment.

When Charlie saw him hesitating, he snorted and asked, "Why? Are you still

unwilling to admit defeat now?"

Caden shivered violently in fear!

He finally realized a reality—his own life was already in danger, so what was the

point of him guarding and holding onto that medicine cauldron?!

Thinking of this, he made up his

mind, took the bag off, held it in front of Charlie with both hands

respectfully, and said humbly, "Master Wade, this is a medicine cauldron that has been passed

down for nearly a thousand years in the Taoist Sect. I would like to give it to you to atone for my sins, Master Wade!"

Charlie did not take the bag from him but just looked at him with great interest and spoke up as he asked, "Do you really want to give it to me?"

Caden clenched his teeth and said respectfully, "Yes, I really want to give it to you, Master Wade!"

Charlie asked him with a smile, "Are you being sincere?"

Caden nodded. "Yes, I'm sincere!"

Charlie asked again, "You won't regret it?"

Although Caden's heart was aching, he still nodded heavily and said, "No... I won't have any regrets!"

Charlie smiled with satisfaction. "I'll accept it reluctantly since you're so sure!"noveldrama
