Chapter 5316

Charlie had never heard of Willow Estates, as he wasn't familiar with the suburbs of Aurous Hill. However, hearing that it was close to Elys-Champ Hot Springs Villa made him uneasy. He wasn't ready to reveal his true identity to his grandmother's family, and being too close to them could put him at risk of being exposed. But as he thought about it more, he realized that being closer to his grandmother's family could actually be advantageous. They had already been targeted by the Warriors Den, and he could protect them better if he was nearby. "Go to Willow Estates first and check the situation," Charlie instructed Master Vail. "Find out how many people the Evans family has sent there, and if there are any immediate family members present. If not, I'll wear a mask and join you to take a look together. You can tell them that I'm a disciple of the Mystic Harmony Sect." "Understood, Master Wade!" Master Vail replied without hesitation. "I'll have my subordinates rush over to investigate right away." Charlie nodded. "I'll be waiting for your news." … After more than 20 minutes, Serena drove to Willow Estates, the location of the Evans family's new villas. The entire villa was situated on the edge of a barrier lake halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a dense forest of weeping willows. Inside and outside the villa, there were estimated to be more than 20,000 to 30,000 willow trees. Although the barrier lake was not particularly large, the scenery was breathtaking, and it was very peaceful due to its secluded location. There were only a few houses in Willow Estates, but each one was a luxurious single-family villa. The residents here were mostly senior officials and nobles, so security was top-notch, with patrols stationed everywhere. The Evans family had purchased six villas in Willow Estates, all located close together in the shape of a five-pointed star. Five of the villas were situated on the corners of the star, while the sixth villa was located in the center. Currently, one of the Evans family's housekeepers was present, leading a team to thoroughly clean and inspect all five houses for any potential safety hazards. The housekeeper of the Evans family was not only responsible for ensuring that the five houses were free of potential dangers such as collapse, fire, and faulty electrical circuits but also to evaluate the safety level of each house. He had to identify weak points and carry out targeted inspections to strengthen them. Upon learning that Master Vail was coming, the housekeeper waited at the villa's entrance. When Master Vail arrived, he conducted a proper Feng Shui assessment while engaging in small talk with the housekeeper, inquiring about whether anyone from the Evans family had arrived yet. The housekeeper, knowing that Master Vail and the Evans family were old acquaintances, trusted him enough to provide him with the general situation. The Evans family had sent the housekeeper and more than 20 staff members to Aurous Hill. Their job was to scout for the right property, purchase it, and remodel it to their liking. After confirming that no immediate family members of the Evans family were present, Master Vail quickly messaged Charlie to update him on the situation. Charlie promptly replied that he would be there soon.

Master Vail suggested to the butler that he had a disciple who was knowledgeable in Feng Shui secrets and would like him to come and have a look. He felt that the two of them could complement each other's strengths and make the assessment more comprehensive. The butler was thrilled at the prospect and exclaimed, "That's really great, thank you, Mr. Vail!" Master Vail smiled modestly and waved his hands, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Charlie arrived shortly after, masked to conceal his identity. He didn't want to risk being recognized by anyone at the Evan's family's estate. Fortunately, the staff there didn't know much about him or Bruce, so his disguise was effective. Charlie greeted Master Vail respectfully and addressed him as "Master." Although Master Vail felt that this was too much, he had to accept it in order to carry out their mission. After calling Charlie aside, Master Vail provided him with an overview of the layout of the six villas. As Charlie looked around, he had a hunch that his grandparents would choose to live in the villa located in the center of the five-pointed star. Upon further inspection of the Feng Shui, he found that it was generally good, with a south-facing direction, a body of water in the front, and mountains at the back, all of which were beneficial for wealth and career. But as he knew, there was no perfect Feng Shui. Some Feng Shui positions might be excellent for wealth and power, but they could be weak in other aspects. Although living here won't harm the body, it won't bring any significant Feng Shui benefits. Charlie's grandfather had recently recovered from a serious illness, but unfortunately, his dementia had not improved. If he could find a place with good geomantic omens and good health, without taking medicine or treatment, the disease would be gradually relieved. Furthermore, his grandmother was also aging, and it was important to find a Feng Shui location that was conducive to good health for long-term living. However, such a location required a high demand for the surrounding environment, and couldn't be achieved by merely adjusting some decorations. Charlie had come up with a solution to improve the Feng Shui in his grandparents' villa. He planned to use the knowledge he gained from the 'Apocalyptic Book' to set up a small array that would slowly release the medicinal power of a Rejuvenation Pill. Charlie hid the pill in the ceiling of the living room and formed a formation around it using his reiki. The formation would release the medicinal power of the Rejuvenation Pill slowly, allowing anyone in the formation to absorb it invisibly. Charlie hoped that this would greatly relieve or even completely cure his grandfather's dementia if he lived in the villa. Despite the past conflicts between his grandfather and father, Charlie felt more sympathy for the old man after hearing about his previous experiences. He didn't want him to forget his parents, and hoped that he would remember him when they met in the future.
