The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5689

Charlie smiled and exclaimed, “Fleur must be in great agony tonight. Shortly after Mr. Chardon arrived at Willow Manor, I blocked all signals there. She definitely will not be able to sleep tonight after two great earls disappear at the same time.”

Ruby nodded slightly. “At that time, I did not have a signal on my cell phone either. Fleur should be very anxious. With her personality, she will definitely send someone to Aurous Hill to find out the situation as soon as possible.”

Charlie laughed. “Would she send the fourth great earl here as well?”

Ruby shook her head. “Probably not. Mr. Chardon perished in the explosion, and I disappeared as well. Three out of the four great earls are now gone, so Fleur should be wary of Aurous Hill, so it’s impossible for her to send Mr. Zorro here.”

Charlie asked her, “With her personality, would she come to Aurous Hill personally?”

“No way!” Ruby shook her head. “Fleur is extremely cautious and would never personally intervene to solve problems. Besides, she still has a trump card up her sleeve that has been kept a secret for hundreds of years!”

Both Charlie and Vera were extremely surprised and asked her in unison, “What’s the trump card?!”

Ruby replied truthfully, “Aside from Fleur herself, the four great earls seem to be the strongest and most powerful individuals in Qing Eliminating Society on the surface, but there’s in fact an Elder Council within the society. Among the Elder Council, there are three elders, who are all members of the Griffin family, and they are all extremely loyal to Fleur and are deeply trusted by her. Moreover, they have been cultivating in seclusion for over a hundred years, so their strength far surpasses ours, and they are about to activate their pineal glands.”

“Activate their pineal glands?” Charlie frowned. “What happens after one activates the pineal gland?”

Ruby asked in surprise, “Mr. Wade, you’re so powerful, so don't you know the benefits of activating the pineal gland?”

Charlie shook his head. “I only know of the existence of the pineal gland, but not how to activate it. There is no relevant explanation about it in the cultivation methods I know of.”

So, Charlie asked Ruby, “Has Fleur activated her pineal gland?”

“Of course,” Ruby replied without hesitation. “Fleur activated her pineal gland over a hundred years ago. Her strength skyrocketed as soon as she activated her pineal gland. Having personally experienced the benefits of activating her pineal gland, she selected the three most talented individuals from the Elder Council to undergo a hundred years of cultivation in seclusion, all for the sole purpose of activating their pineal glands.”

Charlie hastily asked, “Did those three people succeed?”

Ruby said, “It is said that they will likely succeed in another decade or two. Fleur promised us that once the three elders activate their pineal glands successfully and emerge from seclusion, she will let the four of us undergo cultivation in seclusion and teach us the method to activate our pineal glands. However, everything turned out to be a complete scam…”

At this point, Ruby clenched her fists, as she spoke wryly, “Speaking of the pineal gland, there's something else I must tell you truthfully, Mr. Wade…”
