In North America’s Chinese community, Master Vail was a renowned figure, and countless people paid homage to him, including high-ranking officials and nobles.

But he never imagined that he would come to Aurous Hill and be reduced to tears by Charlie’s bullying.

The stark contrast between his former glory and current predicament only added to his sadness.

And what pained him the most wasn’t the mistreatment he had just endured.

What hurt the most was the fact that he now had to swallow his pride and seek forgiveness from Charlie, with tears streaming down his face.

This was the inevitable consequence of offending someone he shouldn’t have.

Master Vail knew deep down that the reason Charlie had punished him so severely was simply because he had harbored selfish thoughts.

As he thought back to the elixir that Charlie had gifted him, he realized just how precious and valuable it was.

In fact, it was a priceless treasure.

And Charlie had given it to him for a reason, to bind him in servitude.

Despite his outward agreement, Master Vail had many reservations in his heart.

In fact, he secretly wished to bid farewell to Charlie and return to his former life in the United States.

Chastising himself for his indecisiveness, Master Vail thought, “You’re truly pathetic, Master Vail.

How could you be so foolish as to think Charlie would fall for your flattery? He’s too strong to be taken in by your insincerity.

You’re lucky he hasn’t thrown you out yet.

Where else in the world could you find such a stroke of luck?”

Feeling remorseful for his behavior, Master Vail knew that he had no choice but to continue along with Charlie’s plans.

After all, he had already taken the elixir and couldn’t return it even if he wanted to.

And with his connection to Charlie’s grandmother, he was unlikely to be allowed to leave Aurous Hill anytime soon.

Resigned to his fate, Master Vail resolved to remain loyal to Charlie, no matter what.

He would never stray from his path and would always be true to his word.

Only then could he hope to regain Charlie’s forgiveness and restore his cultivation base.
