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 didnât look any different from a normal lifeless stone. He tried to perform the cultivation method recorded in the âApocalyptic Bookâ but he couldnât 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 thatâs 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 didnât drive today due to the road space rationing restriction and she wanted Charlie to pick her up at the Emgrand Group with her fatherâs car
Charlie obliged his wifeâs request wholeheartedly. He asked Jacob for the car key and drove straight to the Emgrand Group. He took out his phone and called Claireâs number as soon as he arrived. Claire didnât answer his call, instead, she quickly sent him a text message that said, âCharlie, Iâm still in the meeting with the project team, please wait for me downstairs for a while, thank you.â
âAlright, Iâll wait for you downstairs,â Charlie replied, then got out of the car and smoked while waiting.
