The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"Go back to the United States?!"

When Caden heard this, tears came to his eyes.

The first thought that flashed through his mind was excitement.

After all, this meant that Charlie was willing to let him go back to the United States, which meant that he would not take his life or imprison him.noveldrama

So, he asked excitedly, "Can I?"

Charlie could not help but laugh secretly when he saw Caden's excited appearance.

In fact, he did not plan to kill Caden at all. After all, Caden had merely played some tricks on Anthony with an underhanded method, but this crime should not be punishable by death.

What's more, he had already handed the medicine cauldron over. Although he was reluctant to do so, he was still willing to admit defeat after losing the bet.

In addition, Caden had a personal friendship with his grandmother. If Charlie were to acknowledge his grandmother in the future and she brought up this friend of hers, it would be a little untenable if he had killed Caden or imprisoned him at his dog farm.

Moreover, he was also in a time of need, so a Taoist priest who had been in North America for many years and had the title of 'Master Howton' among high society would also be of great use to him.

Therefore, when he asked Caden whether he intended to return to the United States, it was just a small test for Caden. He guessed that if Caden was truly a smart person, he would immediately seize the opportunity to return to the United States at this time.

Sure enough.

As soon as Caden asked 'Can I?', he suddenly felt very aggrieved, and he felt like dying in the next second.

He could not help but think to himself, 'Damn it, I came all the way here to find Charlie, hoping to get a powerful pill from him to improve my strength to a higher level or to learn a more powerful method of alchemy from Charlie so I can look for an opportunity to go back to make some powerful pills. Unexpectedly, my effort to try to gain an advantage only made me end up even worse off. I didn't find the pill, didn't learn the art of alchemy, and even lost the medicine cauldron. Wouldn't I be making a great loss if I just left like that?!"

However, he did not dare to say these words. He just stammered without being able to tell the truth.

Charlie said with a smile, "Master Howton, although you gave me this medicine cauldron voluntarily, I don't like to owe favors to others. Why don't I arrange for a special plane to send you back to the United States in the afternoon today? You should also tell my grandmother in advance that you have other plans after you go back, so you won't be waiting for them here."

After knowing that Charlie was not going to kill him, Caden suddenly did not want to leave just like that, so he could only say resentfully, "Master Wade, to tell you the truth, I've been focused on living in seclusion all these years, and I don't have time to take care of the Taoist Sect. The Taoist Sect's internal talent has withered away, and there's nothing much left to do, so I..."

As he spoke of this, Caden did not dare to voice out his thoughts that he intended to stay in Aurous Hill for the time being.

When Charlie saw him hesitating for a long time without saying a word, he asked with a smile, "Do you want to say that it's meaningless for you to go back so you intend to stay in Aurous Hill for a while first?"

When Caden heard this, he was overjoyed and subconsciously slapped his thighs as he said, “Yes, Master Wade, you're right! That's what I wanted to say!"

After saying that, he looked at Charlie anxiously as he waited for Charlie's response.

Charlie was not angry at this time but simply smiled faintly as he spoke up, "Master Howton, listen to my analysis and see if it's right."

Caden hurriedly said, "Please speak, Master Wade!"

Charlie nodded and said, "Your purpose in coming to Aurous Hill is nothing more than to find the person who refined the Healing Pill and the Rejuvenating Pill. You already found me, so wouldn't you have already achieved your purpose in coming to Aurous Hill this time? Since you've already achieved your purpose, why would you still stay here?"
