Chapter - 112

After a while, Charlie felt a burst of energy surging through his body as if stimulating all of his senses, bones and blood. It was Reiki!

When he looked at the stone again, Charlie found that the stone seemed to be absorbing all the spiritual energy that it didn’t look any different from a normal lifeless stone. He tried to perform the cultivation method recorded in the ‘Apocalyptic Book’ but he couldn’t extract the Reiki from the stone anymore.

Dejected, he put the stone back in his pocket. Intuitively, he felt that the stone was extraordinary, but he had no way to examine it now. It seemed that he had to sharpen his skills first before he could work on the stone again.

He hurried to take a bath as he was sticky from the profuse sweating. It was already past 5 pm when he finished the bath, and that’s when Claire called him.

On the phone, Claire told Charlie that she was in the middle of the meeting with the Emgrand Group dealing with the project details. She didn’t drive today due to the road space rationing restriction and she wanted Charlie to pick her up at the Emgrand Group with her father’s car

Charlie obliged his wife’s request wholeheartedly. He asked Jacob for the car key and drove straight to the Emgrand Group. He took out his phone and called Claire’s number as soon as he arrived. Claire didn’t answer his call, instead, she quickly sent him a text message that said, “Charlie, I’m still in the meeting with the project team, please wait for me downstairs for a while, thank you.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Charlie replied, then got out of the car and smoked while waiting.
