    Charlie smiled and said, “I noticed that too, but don’t worry.”


    “I already had the captain call everyone over for dinner.”


    “I’ll give them a mental pep talk so they will do their best to make things convenient for us,”


    “And not reveal our whereabouts to anyone.”


    “As for the surveince footage, it’s simple.”


    “I’ll have their technicians open an interface so our AI model can process all the stored surveince footage and erase any trace of us.”


    “That way, there’s basically nothing to worry about.”


    “That’s good.”


    Jeremiah was relieved and smiled.


    “Since Mr. Wade has made ns,”


    “Then I won’t worry about it anymore.”


    Charlie nodded slightly and smiled.


    “After dinner, you two can rx and cultivate in your rooms.”


    “Or you cane and cultivate with me.”


    “It’s fine if you don’t go out for the next few days.”


    “As for Miss Lin, you can have them deliver your meals to your rooms.”


    “You can also tell them what you want to eat.”


    “And they will definitely do their best to amodate you.”


    Maria tentatively asked, “If you are also going into seclusion,”


    “Can I stay in the same room as you? Otherwise,”


    “I always feel uneasy being alone.”


    Charlie smiled and said, “Of course, no problem.”


    …


    When Charlie and the other three returned to their rooms,


    About three thousand kilometers away from Ushuaia, Victoria was sitting cross-legged in her pce.


    In front of her were five jade stones of different shapes and sizes.


    She continuously circted her breathing technique,


    Absorbing the precious spiritual energy from the five jade stones until all the spiritual energy in the jade stones was absorbed.


    These five jade stones were painstakingly collected by the Wu family from all over the world and specially presented to her.


    For the past three hundred years,


    She has never stopped searching the world for all kinds of rare treasures, spirit stones, and magical artifacts.


    In her early years, she reaped considerable rewards,


    With a constant stream of valuable items sent to her.


    These not only helped her reach the Niwan Pce and strengthen her cultivation,


    But also helped her gather and build her own army of cultivators.


    However, with increasing modernization, these rare treasures have be increasingly difficult to find.


    Many natural treasures that require thousands or even tens of thousands of years to develop have gradually disappeared before reaching maturity due to climate change and human activities.


    In the Dharma-ending Age, natural treasures are already rare,


    And the vast majority of them perish before reaching maturity, making them even rarer.


    In recent years, medicinal materials for refining elixirs have be scarce,


    And spirit stones that can directly absorb spiritual energy are even rarer.


    However, given Victoria’s current cultivation level, even fifty spirit stones,


    Let alone five, it might not bring much improvement.


    Therefore, a sense of powerlessness in her cultivation gradually grew stronger within her.


    She knew that she had entered the final fifth of her life.


    If she hadn’t consumed the Eternal Green Pill, even if she lived to be a hundred,


    She would already be over eighty.


    Less than a hundred years remained, a fleeting moment.


    If she couldn’t capture Maria and obtain her master’s ring, she would face certain death.


    But even if she captured Maria, what then?


    Capturing her didn’t guarantee obtaining the ring.


    Even if she obtained the ring,


    She didn’t know if it contained the Hundred Turns Thousand Reincarnation Pill.


    If there were only the form and no pill,


    It would be even more troublesome.


    Could she gather all the materials to refine the Hundred Turns Thousand Reincarnation Pill?


    Even if she found the materials,


    Could her cultivation level be sufficient to refine it?


    Each additional problem greatly reduced the sess rate.


    Moreover, behind the Warriors Den was a mysterious enemy,


    A ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.


    In conclusion, Victoria was increasingly uncertain about whether she could live to see the next five hundred years.


    The thought of that mysterious enemy only fueled her anxiety.


    She immediately summoned her most trusted advisor, Revender, and asked,


    “How’s the investigation in Moro going?”


    “Have you found any clues about that person or those assassins and elite guards?”


    Revender replied sheepishly, “Your Majesty,”


    “I have dispatched multiple teams to Moro to investigate.”


    “But so far we have found no clues.”


    “Those people seem to have vanished into thin air.”


    “We haven’t found any trace in any of the major ports.”


    “Border crossings, or along any transportation routes within Moro.”


    Victoria angrily crushed a dried-up spirit stone into powder, coldly saying,


    “Outrageous! Thousands of people simply vanished into thin air—how can they leave no trace at all?”


    “Even a fire…”


    “Even if they’re burned, at least their ashes will remain!”


    Revender sighed. “My lord, our enemy is definitely a powerful organization.”


    “They not only have powerful cultivators but also formidable modernbat capabilities.”


    “The close-in weapon systems in Cyprus are the best proof of that.”


    “Their style of operation is extremely cautious, leaving almost no clues.”


    “Tracing them will probably take more than a day or two.”


    Victoria gritted her teeth and asked him again,


    “Since theplete overhaul of all the outposts,”


    “Have you discovered any trace of the enemy?”


    Revender shook his head and said,


    “My lord, I have increased the number of sentries and surveince at each outpost and have been monitoring the situation at each outpost.”


    “So far, I have not found anything unusual or suspicious personnel approaching.”


    “I believe that we…”


    “The enemy already knows about the Great Bloodline Reshuffle n,”


    “So they won’t risk attacking our base anymore.”


    Victoria sighed,


    “The fact that they’ve stopped attacking the base proves that our Great Bloodline Reshuffle n has been very effective,”


    “But it has also cut off the enemy’s leads.”


    “I’m afraid they’ll give up now, and then we might never be able to catch them again!”


    Revender knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and said,


    “My lord, I dare to say something disrespectful.”


    Victoria hummed in agreement, “Speak.”


    Revender said,


    “My lord, if the enemy really gives up now,”


    “Although we can’t undo our losses or avenge these attacks,”


    “At least we won’t be distracted by them anymore.”


    “I think the most important thing right now is to capture Maria as soon as possible.”


    “Everything else can be put aside.”


    “What do you think?”


    Victoria remained silent for a long time before nodding slightly and saying,


    “You’re right. It’s alright to suffer a little loss now.”


    “Since the other party is also a cultivator, they must have been there for decades or even a hundred years.”


    “If I can resolve the Hundred Reversals Pill issue,”


    “I’ll have plenty of opportunities to slowly find them and kill them one by one!”


    At this point, her expression turned ferocious, and she growled,


    “I, Victoria, have always been proud.”


    “I can suffer losses, but I will never suffer in silence.”


    “Anyone who offends me will pay a thousandfold price!”


    Then, she coldly said, “Pass on my order.”


    “All members of the Wu family, as well as all military governors and elite guards, must do everything in their power to find Maria’s whereabouts.”


    “Whoever finds Maria will be rewarded with a hundred years of lifespan and billions in assets.”


    “Whoever captures Maria will receive an additional hundred years of lifespan for their entire family!”
