The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5669

Although Charlie secretly coveted Vera’s Thunderstrike wood, he felt hesitant to ask for it outright. After all, Vera had cherished this item for over three hundred years, and it held a significance that was undoubtedly extraordinary for her. However, Charlie knew that there was no need for him to be overly anxious.

In the current situation, even if Vera gave him the Thunderstrike wood, he wouldn't have the ability to refine it at all.

So, Charlie looked at Vera and asked a question that piqued his curiosity, “Miss Lavor, I'm very curious to know how you've spent these three hundred years?”

Vera shrugged and laughed in a self-deprecating manner, “I’m not proficient in Reiki like Fleur, so I couldn't compete with her. Over these three hundred years, I've been constantly on the run.”

After saying that, Vera continued, “The first two hundred years were relatively fine. At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and communication was not well-developed, so it wasn't so easy for Fleur to catch me.”

As Vera spoke of this, she reflected on her past and continued, “After settling my father’s affairs, as a young person who was not very capable, I could only live in several remote areas in Yorkshire Hill for several decades. Due to my youthful appearance, I usually lived in one place for about five to eight years before moving to another place in order to avoid suspicion.”

“I developed a fondness for Pu’er tea during that time. While living in various places, I took the opportunity to learn and experiment with the production of Pu'er tea. Later, I lived by the Heavenly Lake in Yorkshire Hill for several years, teaching local tea farmers better techniques for making Pu'er tea.

“At that time, Japan had already begun the Meiji Restoration and was experiencing a rapid collision and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. I wanted to see which direction Japan's national strength would develop, so I stayed in Japan for some time.”

“After the First Sino-Japanese War broke out, I deeply felt the incompetence of the Qing army. Moreover, after so many years of witnessing Europe's rapid development after the Industrial Revolution and Japan's rapid transformation after the Meiji Restoration, I really wanted to return to Oskia and contribute to my home country. At that time, Mr. Sandor was going to Hong Kong to establish the Oskia Revival Association, so I went from Japan to Hong Kong, wanting to do my part and join the Oskia Revival Association.”

By this point, Charlie was already too shocked to speak.
