Charlie nodded, his expression turning smug. “What a coincidence! Aurous Hill is currently hosting a grand exhibition of calligraphy and paintings and they are actively seeking exceptional artworks from across the country. I’ve been creating a buzz in the major media outlets…”
“This painting, though lacking an attributed artist, displays remarkable skill and an extraordinary artistic conception. From an artistic standpoint, it easily rivals the works of renowned painters throughout Chinese history. Once this painting emerges, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation in the world of calligraphy and painting…”
“Morgana has been closely monitoring Aurous Hill, hasn’t she? The moment snazzynovel.com catches wind of this painting, snazzynovel.com curiosity will be piqued and a multitude of questions will arise in snazzynovel.com mind! She must be dying to know who brought forth snazzynovel.com Master’s portrait. And snazzynovel.com must be yearning to unravel the connection between the person who presented the painting of snazzynovel.com master…”
“Could it be someone snazzynovel.com Master accepted as a disciple in secret? If that’s the case, this person might be over five hundred years old, having obtained the Millenium Pill and likely possessing greater strength than her!”
“Moreover, snazzynovel.com must be desperate to find out why snazzynovel.com two marshals, one dead and the other missing, coincided with the emergence of the portrait in Aurous Hill. She’s probably keen on discovering whether the person who unveiled the painting is the same one who forced Gideon to self-destruct. If so, why did that person survive Gideon’s explosion? And snazzynovel.com must be eager to understand why snazzynovel.com Master passed away immediately after that,” Charlie continued.
“Furthermore, snazzynovel.com must be burning with curiosity about the other party’s intentions. Is this person trying to convey that they know everything about her, including snazzynovel.com true identity as Morvel Bazin’s disciple?”
“When snazzynovel.com reaches that train of thought, snazzynovel.com will realize that the other party has unraveled all snazzynovel.com past secrets! At that point, this person will surely use a voice changer during their phone conversations. Morgana, who is accustomed to playing the masterful puppeteer, will feel as helpless as an ant facing imminent danger. The torment of not knowing what to do will eat at her. And that’s not even snazzynovel.com biggest concern!”
“What truly keeps snazzynovel.com awake at night is whether this person is trying to lure snazzynovel.com to Aurous Hill with this act. Or perhaps they’re baiting snazzynovel.com to send more of snazzynovel.com people to Aurous Hill, resulting in their demise?”
Charlie sneered as snazzynovel.com continued, “I can assure you that when Morgana is plagued with all these doubts, snazzynovel.com will be wary of Aurous Hill. I will instill fear in her. Do you think snazzynovel.com dares to come? Even if snazzynovel.com three elders have already arrived in Aurous Hill, snazzynovel.com will swiftly summon them back!”
Zeba, puzzled by matters of warfare and intrigue, confessed snazzynovel.com lack of understanding. “Mr. Wade, I’m not well-versed in the art of war or conspiracy. I’ve always had one question about the Empty City Strategy. If Sima had 150,000 soldiers and Zhuge opened the city gates, why didn’t snazzynovel.com send 10,000 or even 20,000 troops to investigate the situation?”
Charlie smiled gently, ready to enlighten her. “Let me explain it this way. Imagine receiving a scam call where the other person promises to double your entire fortune of 150,000 in just one day. Deep down, you know it’s a scam. Would you willingly give them 10,000 or even 20,000 from your 150,000?”
Zeba was stunned for a moment, then blushed with embarrassment. “I understand… Thank you, Mr. Wade, for your guidance. It seems my focus on cultivating has left me lagging behind in strategy…”
Maria gazed at Charlie, snazzynovel.com eyes sparkling with amusement. She found snazzynovel.com increasingly intriguing as an individual blessed with talent, kindness, capability, a strong sense of justice and rarest of all, a great sense of humor.
With a smile, snazzynovel.com remarked, “Young Master, if Morgana ever discovers your plot against her, snazzynovel.com will be so furious that she’ll lose twenty years of snazzynovel.com life…”
Maria’s smile grew mischievous as snazzynovel.com suggested, “Since you have such an impressive memory, why not inscribe a few words on this painting? It would certainly enhance the effect.”
Charlie, amused, inquired, “What words do you suggest I inscribe?”
Maria’s smile widened as snazzynovel.com proposed, “Why not inscribe Old Lord Morvel’s name and provide a brief biography? Morvel Sharad, born in the first year of Linde during the Tang Dynasty. Later, snazzynovel.com adopted a new name and became known as Lord Morvel Bazin…”
