The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The subtle Reiki in the painting also disappeared as the image dissipated, but when Charlie looked at the painting again, he could not help but associate it with the image of Marcius. He suddenly felt that Marcius seemed to be even more lively and vivid in the portrait.noveldrama

He couldn't help but speculate what Marcius's life had been like after leaving that mountain village.

Although his lifespan had been extended, there seemed to be no important people in his life. His wife and son had passed away long ago, and his only disciple who was like his son had also passed away. He was the only person who remained alive.

With his obsession with cultivation and struggle for longevity, perhaps he would still choose to return to his cave somewhere and continue living in seclusion to cultivate alone after leaving the mountain village. He probably only knew the sunrise and sunset from then on, but not about what year, month, or generation it was in the outside world.

When his daily life was all about cultivation day after day, all his joy, anger, and sadness could only be reserved for himself and could not be shared with anyone else.

In Charlie's opinion, that feeling was not a search for longevity, but a search for loneliness.

He felt that once a person gave up on his emotions and desires and fell into that kind of loneliness, his life would lose its true meaning no matter how long he lived.

Charlie also could not help but wonder what would happen to him if the people around him also slowly aged with the passage of time.

Although the Rejuvenating Pill was good, the effect was less effective the older a person was. It would not be a problem for an ordinary person to live to be more than a hundred years old with the help of the Rejuvenating Pill, but a large number of Rejuvenating Pills would be needed to help a person live to be two hundred years old.

Even if he was willing to provide them with sufficient Rejuvenating Pills, would they really be willing to continue using the Rejuvenating Pills to renew their lives when they reached that age?

It was not uncommon for a person to live to be a hundred years old, but a person who lived to be a hundred years old without growing old was unheard of in the world.

If he could continue providing Rejuvenating Pills to those close to him so that they could live forever without growing old, they would then have to stay away from everyone else who knew them but didn't know their details during a certain critical period of time. Otherwise, it would definitely raise countless doubts.

This also meant that they would

have to find a hidden place to hide from the world at some point in time. They would be like the werewolves or vampires in novels who had to avoid attention from ordinary people. swnovel

Charlie did not even need to ask the people around him as he himself would not be willing to accept such a life. Charlie could not help but feel a little depressed when he thought of this.

Although he did not need to worry about this matter for the next twenty to thirty years, it would be a big problem that he ultimately could not avoid as long as he lived.

Charlie sighed softly, put the painting away, and stayed up all the way.

Since Sentermill was not far from Aurous Hill, the plane arrived at Aurous Hill after flying for slightly more than two hours.

The sky was not even bright yet.

Isaac's subordinates were already waiting there when Charlie and Isaac got off the plane.

Isaac asked Charlie respectfully, "Young Master, there is still an hour before dawn. Do you want to go to Shangri-La to rest for a while first?"

Charlie thought for a moment and then waved his hand as he said, "Arrange a car for me. I'll go to Champs Elys hot spring villa by myself and rest for a while before going home at noon." swnovel

Charlie did not want to bring

Marcius's portrait back home.

Firstly, it would be difficult for him to explain it to his family, and secondly, he was also afraid that his

avel

father-in-law, who was the vice

president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, would see the painting and take it to the

association to show off. At the same time, Charlie was also afraid that his mother-in-law, Elaine, would be short of money one day and take the painting out secretly to sell it.

Therefore, Charlie intended to take advantage of the fact that it was still dawn to

put the painting in Champs Elys hot spring villa.
