The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5690

Charlie noticed that Ruby’s expression had turned grim, so he frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me.”

Ruby clenched her teeth and said, “Fleur originally said in the beginning that it was dangerous for the four of us to execute missions outside, fearing that we might lose our lives if we encountered powerful cultivators. So, she spent several years setting up an extremely secretive and powerful formation inside our pineal glands. She said that activating this formation at critical moments could preserve a strand of our souls, allowing our physical bodies to die but our souls to survive. When Mr. Chardon said he would change his physical body and look for you to exact revenge, it was because of this…”

Having said that, Ruby said bitterly, “But I didn't expect that it wasn't a formation to preserve our souls at all, but a highly powerful self-destructing formation instead…”

After listening, Charlie nodded slightly. “No wonder Mr. Chardon was initially begging for mercy, but at the critical moment, he became averse to death. It turns out that he thought that he could really switch physical bodies…”

“That’s right.” Ruby pursed her lips, looked at Charlie, and said frankly, “I’ll be honest with you, Mr. Wade. There's a similar formation in my pineal gland, and I reckon its destructive power won't be any less than Mr. Chardon’s. Although I don't have Reiki left in my body now and can't and am unwilling to activate it, I can't guarantee whether Fleur has a way to activate it.”

Charlie said, “But you said she never intervenes personally to solve problems, right? Even if she could activate the formation inside you, it's impossible for her to activate it remotely, right?”

Ruby nodded. “Remote activation is naturally impossible, but if she sends the three elders to take action and tells them the method to activate the formation, I'm afraid I'll become an unstable super bomb by your side.”

Charlie frowned and asked her, “What do you think is the probability of Fleur sending the three elders here?”

Ruby thought for a moment and said confidently, “From what I know about her, it’s a hundred percent!”

Ruby said, “Miss Lavor, I haven't seen the three elders myself. They've been cultivating in seclusion since I joined the Qing Eliminating Society, but according to Fleur, while they were in seclusion, their strength was already comparable to that of Mr. Chardon’s strength tonight. In other words, their strength a hundred years ago surpassed mine. After a hundred years of cultivating in seclusion, their strength must have greatly improved. The four of us are naturally no match for them.”

Charlie and Vera’s expressions changed instantly.

According to Ruby’s words, the strength of the three elders would undoubtedly surpass that of the four counts by a large margin. Taking on one of them alone would probably be extremely difficult to deal with, and if these three were to act together, their strength would be immeasurable.

Charlie also knew that he could defeat Mr. Chardon, but he absolutely couldn't win against an elder who had a hundred years more experience in cultivation, let alone three elders at once.
